The New Kid

Ch. 36 The Flight

"Hi I'm Calum." He said in his adorable Aussie accent.

"I'm.. Em...Em..Em..."

"Emily!" Zayn finished for me.

"It's great to meet ya." Ashton came in.

"What broke?" Zayn asked remembering the crash.

"Just a plate..." Luke said softly with a roll of his eyes, his gorgeous eyes.

"Oh really? It's never just a plate with you guys..." Zayn sighed.

"What ever buddy." Michael whined.

Niall joined us on the plane and stood next to me.

"OHHHHH! EMILY! EMILY BROOKES! YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" Calum finally pieced it together.

"You are really stupid." Zayn laughed.

"Yeah boys, this is Emily. What? Did you think a random fan got on here or something?" Niall joked.

The rest of the boys and my friends got on the jet and we all took our seats. I was sitting in the front row with Niall. There were only two seats in each aisle except the back wall. It was a full length, beige, leather couch. Rachel and Ashton were sitting together and believe me she was happy about it. Louis and Harry were together and Natalie and Nick. I looked back and noticed that Zayn was sitting in a row by himself like Liam. Why wouldn't they sit together?

"Is something going on with Zayn and Liam?" I whispered to Niall.

"Not that I know of... Maybe they wanted to sit by Luke and Michael?" He said glancing back at them.

I shrugged my shoulders and buckled my seat belt and pulled it tight. I was never calm on flights. I was always afraid of the plane crashing, but hey! Who isn't? I kicked my bag under the chair and waited for the greeting from the pilot. I looked around the beige interior of the airplane. It was very luxurious, based on the wooden bar in the front and the TVs in front of every seat. My head turned to look out the window and I saw a few huge airplanes flying onto the runway. I always wondered how planes could just lift off the ground so easily. My eyes moved back to the front and then I made eye contact with Nialler. I blushed and looked down at the ground.

"Nervous babe?" He asked grabbing my shaking hand.

"Just a little." I squeezed it slightly which made me feel a lot more secure.

"You're fine sweetheart." He said looking forward.

"I think you're a little nervous." I smirked and hit my shoulder against his.

"I fly all the time." He shot back.

"Not a very good excuse. I used to fly all the time to visit my dad in Boston."

"You used to live in Boston?" Niall asked sweetly.

"No, when my parents got divorced, my dad moved away and I would visit him but it was only twice I think. He left when My brother Derrek was born. Now that Derrek's in college, we don't see him at all anymore. I miss him." I felt a frown grow on my face.

"Wow you've never told me that..." He looked really interested in my life story, "tell me about yourself."

"It's a long story." I sighed.

"It's a long flight." Niall added.

"Hello boys! Long time no see! This is Captain Jett."

"Isn't he captain of the jet?" I whispered to Niall.

"No...Actually is name is Jett. With two t's." He smiled.

"That's pretty cool."

"The flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York will take approximately 3 hours, based on the wind speeds. Please fasten your seat belts, we will be departing soon. Thank you."
