Ancient History/Future Hearts

Epilogue

i was staring at the clouds slowly moving from the window. the world from up there was weird. i couldn't see people. cars. animals. i just saw fields and a couple of houses here and there. it looked like a fake world from there. i closed my eyes for a second. 

Whoa i never ment to brag 

but i got him where i want him now

Hayley Williams was screaming in my ears. i had decided to put on some upbeat music. the last thing i needed was a sad song. i turned to my right. mom was sleeping next to me. she hated flying. she would just close her eyes soon after taking off and sleep all the way until landing. i had no idea how she did that. 

i tried to get comfortable in my seat. i hadn't room to stretch my legs, damn it. i sighed. i was incredible to think that only a few hours ago i was sitting at Adam's, my favorite bar, with Dan, Zach, Maxx and Cody. we had had breakfast together. i had treated myself with a huge cream croissant. Cody was goofing around as always and he had spilt his orange juice all over me. he had had to go to the toilet and wipe it away with a wet tissue. well, he had tried. i still had the stain on my tank top. i couldn't help but smile. i missed those idiots already.

and Brie? i hadn't heard from her. she still wouldn't answer. i had decided not to turn up at her house as i had originally planned. it'd have just make her mad. i just had to wait and hope she would forgive me someday. i had told Maxx to keep me updated in case he talked to her and he had promised he would have.

i took a deep breath. i wondered where Austin was now. i hadn't talked to him either. not since he had told me he had got kicked out. what had really happened? what was the reason for all of this mess? Cody wouldn't tell me and Maxx neither. i wondered why. why did they decide to keep it a secret? Maxx had given me a hint at a certain point,

"it's better if you don't know. i don't want your friendship to be ruined. just... stay away from him. i'm serious"

that was weird. i had been really upset ever since. i didn't know what to think. i just needed an answer. i had decided i would call Austin as soon as i landed in LA. i wasn't sure where he'd gone, if he was in Orlando or wherever else. but i wanted to talk to him. get answers. after all i didn't do anything to him. it was not my fault at all. we were still friends and i was pretty sure he would tell me the truth.

i let my mind free. what would it be like in LA? mom had told me she had found a couple of nice flats already but we would need to check them out. i would have a roommate. maybe two. would i like them? would they be able to cover up the void my friends had left? probably not. i would never forget them. 

i had my eyes closed. i let the music flow inside my brain. i soon let the small plane vibrations rock me to sleep.
