Alissa's POV

.

I look out the window too see the Airport towers they seem so much bigger than what they look like in photos. I look to my left to see Taylor is half asleep. I nudge her with my elbow. She shifted to look at me I pointed at the tall buildings. She smiled a weak smile to me. I returned the same look to her.

As we were dropped at the front of the Airports entrance I grabbed all of my luggage and went to the front check in and baggage check.I look over at my right seeing Taylor standing patiently beside me in line. As we moved up in line her phone buzzes.

"It's the boys." she says as she looks at the text. "They say look up?" she says as we both look up from her phone I see Calum waving at us. He then looks at his phone and texts us. "We need to go with them." Taylor says to me.

"Okay." we shuffle our way out of the line. Walking towards the boys they all seem much more awake than me, except, Michael of course. He is always tired. As we approach the four boys Calum opens his mouth.

"Hey how you feeling?" He asks mainly me. I shrug my shoulders in response. "Okay, well anyway we already have everything set up for our flight we board in 15 minutes."

"Well we better go yeah?" I say. They all nod and start to walk.Taylor and I walk behind the four boys.

"Hey uhm, Ali?" Taylor says to me. I look over to her to see she has stopped walking.

"What's up Tay." she points to a sign above me. I read internally the words "Passengers Only Beyond This Point." I look at her to now see she is teary eyed. I run to her and drop my luggage this causes the boys to turn around. I wrap my arms tightly around my bestfriend for the past 4 years. "I love you so, m-much." I sniffle into her neck. She laughs, which causes me to look at her.

"You sound like you're going to war." She says wiping her eyes. Taylor then wipes my eyes as well. It's then I noticed that I as well was crying. I laugh at her and then smile at her.

"Well I uhm I think it's best if I go before you miss your flight yeah?" she smiles at me.

"Okay. I will call and text you as much as I can." I say bringing her into a final goodbye embrace.

"I love you Ali, and we will see each other soon." She says squeezing me back tightly.

"Alright now go before we start crying again." She says letting me go. I smile back looking her in the eye. She then steps away from me. "Go." she says waving me off. I turn around to face the boys, they are standing about 10 meters away from me. I slowly start to trudge myself towards them. "I love you Ali." I hear Taylor yell after me. I turn and wave to her.

"You ready to go?" Calum asks me as I turn back to them.

"As I'll ever be." I mumble walking forward. As we approach the terminal I can see the planes taking off out the large glass panels. I always loved flying. Ever since I was little I loved flying. I remember going with my dad taking me with him whenever he would go on trips. It is soothing to me.

"Flight 324 is now boarding." a voice says over an intercom. Look down at my ticket I see in navy blue letters 324. As I look back up I see Calum waving to me to follow him into a line to board the plane. I quickly shuffle over to him.

"You ready." He asks.

"Well I don't know what you want me to do with my luggage I didn't get a chance to check it." I say nervously.

"Oh, don't worry about that you can leave it up here and they will put in the bagging area." A woman says to me.

"Oh, Okay. Thanks." I say to her giving her my bag.

"May I see your ticket." The same woman asks me.

"Here you are." I say handing her the ticket.

"Alright you're all set." The woman says handing me back the ticket. I then stand aside waiting for Calum to get checked. As the woman gave him back his ticket I looked up at him.

"Let's go, yeah?" Calum says smiling and walking towards me. I just nod and turn towards the walkway to the the plane. Walking besides me, Calum nudges me to look up. "You excited?" he asks.

"Yeah, I really am." I say with a genuine grin on my face. "I'm just wondering how we are going to get from town to town. Well that and a million other things." I say looking forward.

"Well the plan is for us to all five share a bus and I think Dave will be riding with us and then our driver." Calum says answering my question.

"Cool." I respond. As we approached the hatch to the airplane. Squeezing into the small opening into the plane. Going through the aisle the flight attendant points to a seat in the front right corner. Setting my turtle bag down on the floor, I take the seat nearest the window. Sitting down I buckle my seat belt. I feel something bump my shoulder. Looking up I see someone in a jean jacket placing their luggage in the overhead compartment. As they close the compartment I can see the one face I didn't think I'd be seeing this often again. Michael.
