(Your P.O.V)

I'd flown on planes before, actually I loved them, heights were a thing I didn't fear. The plane was very small, separated into two rooms we got the one at the front. First class, which consisted of the two parallel walls filled with a big couches with seatbelts and an oval shaped table in the middle. It was like those fancy limousines. We all sat in the wide circle with the rest of the crew.
"How did you afford this?" I asked Tyler
"Mark knows a guy, and the captain's son is a fan." He nodded towards Mark and we made eye contact, Mark gave me a thumbs up.

I sat in between Mark and Josh, and across from Jenna and Tyler, the five of us were in the middle parts of the oval shaped sitting area. Josh lazily put his arm around me as he was talking to Tyler. I leaned onto the table and held Jenna's hands, she didn't look too good. "Hey, what's wrong? Do you want a tums?" I was concerned.
"Oh no thanks my stomach just doesn't settle with flying, once were in the air I'll be okay." She spoke.
"You sure?" I raised my eyebrows.
She nodded. It was 5 minutes to 10 and the rest of the crew sat down and began talking.
The captain spoke over the microphone.
"Hello, This is your captain speaking, on your first class non-stop flight to the UK. Timing should be approximately 7-8 hours. Arriving at our destination at around 11 AM tomorrow with the 5 hour time change. Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for take off. Over."
Jenna took a deep breath and Tyler hugged her close, she was still holding my hand, Josh pulled me close as well, and the plane began moving.
"You good with all this plane stuff?"Josh asked me.
"Yeah, I actually love planes, but poor Jenna over here is gonna break my hand." I said noting Jenna's death grip on my hand. Tyler and Josh laughed. The plane started driving towards the runway, and Jenna squeezed her eyes shut, gripping my hand for dear life, I ran my thumb over the top of her hand for reassurance and Tyler laid his head on hers. We were starting to fly and most of the crew had earplugs in, prepped to get a decent sleep. I watched Jenna and stuck out my bottom lip, I wish I could help her, I just held her hand. Tyler looked at me, "No matter how many planes we go on, it always happens, she'll be okay though." He reassured me. Jenna nodded.
We were in the air and Jenna's grip loosened and she sat up a bit more. I looked out the window over all the city lights, you could never get tired of a view like that, and I looked at Josh. Or that, I could never get over a view of that either. He was looking out the window, biting his lip, his eyes darting around the window looking at the city down below. He then caught me staring. He smiled, the crinkles in his eyes and the way one side of his mouth would be higher than the other when he smiled. It was beautiful, he was beautiful. "Thank you for bringing me. I'll pay you back as soon as I can." I said sincerely.
"Y/N you don't have to pay me anything, it's all paid off on tour." He told me.
I scrunched my eyebrows, "well I'll still pay you back.. I'll figure out how."
He looked down at me, "I can think of some other ways " he winked. I shook my head and kissed him lightly. "You need to sleep Josh. You have a big day ahead of you." I sounded like his mom. He rolled his eyes, smiling, and looked out the window again. I brought out my sketchbook from one of my bags and started drawing. Everyone else was sleeping except for Ty, Josh, Jenna and I. I started doodling. The joker was the first thing that came to mind. I over animated it. His hair, his teeth everything. Tyler grabbed my book from me, "Hey, swiper no swiping." I whisper-yelled so not to wake anyone, Josh and Jenna chuckled at my remark.
Tyler looked at my crap drawing.
"Y/N this is sick!, where did you learn to draw like this?" I shrugged.
"It's pretty bad..." I admitted
He put the notebook down again, and looked at me seriously, "Y/N you have real talent. You don't have to agree, but I'm right." Jenna and Josh nodded. I put my sketchbook away. I leaned into Josh again. I heard him yawn and I looked over at him, "See you do need sleep." I said and a few seconds after, I yawned, then Tyler, then Jenna. We all glared at him.
He shrugged.

Out of the corner of my eye Tyler grabbed Josh's phone and unlocked it. But I turned my attention back to Josh. He was staring at me, and the staring contest began, he widened his eyes knowing I was winning, "never widen your eyes when participating in a staring contest, young Joshua."  I said in my best sensai voice. He rubbed his eyes and groaned in defeat as he covered his eyes I heard a camera click. Tyler put the phone on the table and slid it towards me, it showed a picture of Josh rubbing his eyes and me just looking at him with a smirk, I sent it to myself. Josh took his phone back, smirking and did a few things, then I felt my phone go off, notification from Instagram,
@/joshuadun  has tagged you in a photo. He didn't just- ohmygod he did. My notifications were blowing up with people asking if we were dating, my followers increasing by the second.
He turned his phone off and closed his eyes, so I did the same.
