Not Ready To Grow Up

Kai

"Are you excited to leave?" Justin said grinning at me. He was definitely more excited than I was.

"Yes, I'm happy to be out of this hospital.. But I just don't want to go back to our lives just yet." I said picking at my fingernails.

"And why is that?" Justin pouted, packing up the last bit of things we owned.

"I just... I want time to slow down, you know? Once we get back, I have to take SAT's. We find out what colleges we get into. Prom... Graduation. I'm just not ready to grow up." I admitted looking up at Justin.

"We're going to be okay, baby." He said walking over to me, then giving me a forehead kiss.

Dr. Lacey walked in shortly after, "I'm going to miss you two. I just wanted to drop by and say bye before you guys left. You're officially allowed to leave this place. Goodbye guys." She smiled at us and waved.

"Ready to go?" Justin looked over at me. I nodded, he walked over to me to help me in my wheelchair. He put his duffel bag on my lap, while he rolled me and my suitcase out of the hospital. We waved at everyone in the main office, I made sure that I gave Samantha a hug before leaving.

Our über was waiting for us once we were outside. Justin helped me in the backseat before putting our suitcases and my wheelchair in the trunk. Once Justin got in, our driver drove us to the airport.

I rested my head on Justin's shoulder through our ride there. Once we got to the airport, we got all of our belongings together. We went through security and went to our boarding gate.

It was currently four in the afternoon and our flight didn't leave until five. So, Justin and I patiently waited in the seats until they called our section. I put my legs on Justin's lap, while he ate his food.

"I'm nervous for our future." I said out loud, once I was out of my deep thoughts. "Like what if we don't end up getting in the same college. Do you think we will do well with a long distance relationship?"

"We can only see what God has planned out for us, Kai." He shrugged, taking a bite out of his chocolate croissant.

"How are you so "go with flow"? Like do you ever wonder what's going to happen?" I asked him.

"Of course, I do—everyone does. But if I think too much about what's going to happen in the future, I'll never be focused in the present. There was a time in my life, where I was fighting to be present." He explained to me, while playing with the shoe laces on my vans. "Babe, we're always going to have questions that we may or may not get the answer to them. I could be asking "Why did my father leave my mother the day after she had my sister?" Or "Why did my bestfriend have to die?" Or "Out of the seven billion people in this world.. Why were you and me meant to be together?" They're all questions that I'll never know the answer to."

"And I get what you're saying, I just–"

"I get it, babe. You're scared and I am too. But we will work out whatever is planned for us." He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. I sighed, placing my head on his shoulder again.

A little scream was heard from behind us. Justin and I both turned our heads to see what was going on. A mom chased after her toddler, as her daughter ran around the airport with a lollipop. The mom snatched up the baby, and she giggled as her mom held her on her hip.

"She's adorable." I said looking at the little girl with two pigtails.

"Yeah, but our kids will be cuter." Justin said taking a sip of his peach ice tea.

I faked gasped, "Is Mr.Bieber saying he wants to have kids with me?"

"I m-meant. I just— I mean." He huffed as he couldn't get his words out.

"I was just kidding with you, baby boy. Our kids would be breathtaking. If we had a little girl, I think she would look like you. Hazel eyes, button nose, light pink lips. But I think she would get my dark brown hair." I said, playing with Justin's fingers.

"And if we had a boy, he would look like you. Brown eyes, tan skin. Very long eyelashes. Their smiles would be absolutely cute." He said smiling at me.

"I can't wait to have kids, I just don't want to push them out of my hoo-ha." I smiled at Justin with my tongue out.

"You're little cootchie will be just fine." Justin laughed. He got up to throw away his trash.

"The flight from Portland, Oregon to Los Angeles, California will start boarding now." The lady said in the intercom.

"Babe, they already have your wheelchair in the airplane, do you think you can walk on your boot?"

He asked looking at my leg. Before I left they changed my full leg cast, into a boot. Turns out my foot was only broken and I had a tear in my thigh muscle.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." I said putting my backpack on my shoulders. "My parents got us first class, by the way." I said looking at the tickets.

"Really? I've never flown first class." He said with his eyes lighting up.

"Well, there's a first for everything, right?" I said smiling, I grabbed onto his hands as we began to walk. I handed the lady our tickets, she smiled at us and told us to have a safe flight.

We found our seats, there were only two seats a row because of how big the chairs were. I sat down and grabbed the blanket in front of me. Justin sat beside me, looking like a puppy who's getting a treat.

"This is your captain speaking, with the way the weather looks like.. We will be able to get Los Angeles in about two hours. We will be in air in about ten minutes. So sit tight and have a safe flight." We all heard on the intercom.

I moved the arm rest up and cuddle into Justin's side. I wrapped my arm with the cast around his torso. "I can't wait to get these things off." I said mentioning my casts.

"Me too, baby, me too." He said kissing my forehead.

"Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt you guys. I just–I work at a modeling agency. And they wanted me to find a few male teenagers for a photoshoot." A woman in her mid thirties spoke to us from across the aisle. "And you're one handsome young man, so I was wondering if you would be interested."  She said handing Justin a business card. "You don't have to, but it will be somewhere in September. If you don't mind me asking, may I give your number to my boss?"

"Um, sure." Justin said taking the woman's phone and putting in his number.

"Thank you, My name is Tara. You guys are absolutely couple goals.. By the way." Tara smiled at us.

"Thank you." Justin and I said in unison.

For the rest of the flight, Justin and I watched Stepbrothers together. The whole time we reminisced on the first time we watched it together. I got Justin to get drunk for the first time. It was our first make out. The first time he spent the night. That night was definitely a memorable experience.

Author's note:

Hey baby loves, so I'm back :)

In a few chapters I'm going to have a character q&a... So start thinking of questions you have for every character in this book. Ok? Ok.

Today is my boo Ariana's birthday, if Justin gives her a birthday post I will scream.
