Selena's P.O.V

"Sel? Are you ready yet? We're gonna be late for our flight!" Demi yells from the front door.

"I'm coming! Give a girl sometime to get her stuff!" I yell back.

Demi and I are like sisters.

We've been best friends since we were 7, since our families knew one another.

12 years later, we're still inseparable from each other's side.

We both have lived in New York for 10 years and are finally moving to our dream location. London.

We're leaving today for our flight today, I'm still gonna miss our 2 bedroom apartment here in NYC (and our families of course), but I just can't wait to explore London, since we both haven't been to the UK yet.

"Selena?!" Demi shouts right in my face.

" Sorry! Got caught up in the moment." I reply.

"It's ok. I know you're gonna miss this place as much as I am. But just think of all the British babes we're gonna meet!" Demi reassures me.

She was right about that.

I didn't even think about how many boys we were gonna meet.

Her comment made me feel happier.

"Thanks." I tell her, feeling much better.

"It's fine! That is what best friends are for, after all." Demi says still feeling really excited.

I can hear it in her voice, since I've known her for quite a while now.

"So... Are we gonna catch that flight?" She asks awkwardly.

God.

I love how her quirkiness makes every encounter we have adorable.

"Why not?" I reply in a jokey tone.

We heave our luggage to the elevator before I take one last look at the place.

"I'm gonna miss this" I sigh as I close the door and take in a deep breath.

I help Demi onto the elevator with our luggage and think of what's in store for our new beginnings.

Once we're out of the house, I whistle for a cab and in no time the famous yellow cab that I'll miss so much pulls in front of us.

"We'll this is it." Demi sighs as we help the driver with our stuff.

"I guess so." I agree with her as I take one last look at our beautiful home we were used to and loved for a long time already.

It feels so weird wanting to be curled up on the sofa watching a movie with Demi and creating popcorn fights that results in us not even paying attention to the movie, but always cleaning up the mess quickly (not always with our hands though ;p) and eventually creating more and more repeatedly.

I sigh as we both fall into the back seat, after we've helped the poor driver load all our ten suitcases in the surprisingly large trunk.

We give him the address of the airport, which happens to be quite close to where we live.

Well, where we used to live for the time being.

The engine starts as I drift into a new dream.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A/N: Still Selena's P.O.V.)

"Selena, wake up!" I hear someone shaking me to death and bludgeoning my ears.

I flutter my eyes open to find myself in the same yellow cab I was in and Demi screaming in my face;

"We have 20 minutes to get on our plane! Selena wake up or I swear to God I will fucking-"

"Calm down Demi! I'm awake now! No use shouting in my face anymore or we'll miss the flight because of your public ranting!" I shout back at her.

Behind her I see the cab driver with our luggage by his side and him waiting to be paid.

I check my watch and and realise it's nearly 12:00 pm.

Fuck! I must have fell into a deep sleep, why do I have to be such a heavy sleeper?

"Let's go!" I quickly run out of the cab and give the driver a $50 note.

"Keep the change." I tell him even though the ride cost $25.

Demi starts shouting at me telling me that I'm crazy to give him that big a tip, but I just ignore her and keep on running to gate 69, since we checked in just before we left and checked what our gate number online.

We're flying with Virgin Atlantic and have got the seats 7a and 7b, 2 window seats near the front.

We finally reach our gate and hand them our bags.

(A/N: I know that this doesn't happen at airports because you have to check in your bags, pass security and passport control but just the let the story be this way because then it won't work.)

We show them our passports and tickets and they let us on the plane as we sigh in relief.

I get comfortable in my seat as Demi starts looking at different movie choices for the flight.

The flight attendant announces that the flight will last for 8 hours as I realise that I shouldn't of slept in the cab because now I don't feel tired at all and feel more than stupid. The plane starts to move as I feel it rising into the air, making me feel tired all of a sudden.

I gaze into the sun's blazing heat as I start to drift off into imagination land thinking of the new city I will come upon soon.

I send my goodbyes to New York as my eyes start to close and everything around me is dark,

but I hear a whisper saying "how did she fall asleep that quickly?"

I smile to myself before I fall into a long slumber...
