Maddie's POV

-

So, it's been about a year since Jacob moved here. Jacob and I haven't really talked alot, and we split ways. I've been hanging out in LA all summer, and i'm currently 14 years old. Jacob started making music, which is absolutely terrible in my opinion, and I've gotten a few acting jobs.

I woke up to the sound of my mom yelling at me to get up. I had a flight back to Pittsburgh at 3:00 am, so I had to wake up around 1 or 2. I got the courage to get out of bed after a few minutes of lying down. I decided to put on a simple black and white tank, with black tights and sandals. Once I did my morning routine, I went to wake Mackenzie up.

" KENZIE WAKE UP WE HAVE TO GET ON THE PLANE," I yelled.

"OKAY GET OUT BYE!" she yelled back a little annoyed.

"Fine, but if we're late i'm blaming you." I said as I walked out the door.

I made sure all of my stuff was packed and decided to check my phone, I had a couple of texts from the girls and a reminder to meet up with Kendall later in the day.

"Girls, we gotta hit the airport we only have 30 minutes till our flight!" My mom said.

With that, I grabbed my suitcases and ran outside.

"Kenz come on!" I yelled at my sister worried about the time."

*skip car ride & security check at airport*

"Now Boarding Flight 1793 to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania" The lady announced.

Once we got into the plane we found our seats and sat down. Mackenzie was sitting in the window seat while I was sitting next to her. My mom was sitting in a seat behind us and I had an extra seat next to me. I unlocked my phone to turn it on airplane mode, when I heard a high pitched boy's voice.

"May I sit here?" The boy asked.

I turned around to see who it was.

Jacob.

"Sure Jacob," I responded.

"Long time no see," Jacob said.

"Definitely, so what brought you to LA?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Well I just wrapped up my Sweatshirt music video, and was working on some new music, what about you?" He said.

"I had a few acting jobs, and it's kinda weird how we ended up on the same flight don't you think?" I said.

Jacob was about to answer when Kenzie interrupted.

"Hey could you guys keep the volume down a bit, some people are trying to sleep." Kenzie stated.

"Your wish is my command." Jacob said.

Kenzie mouthed a "thank you" as she put her neck pillow over her shoulders.

I fell back in my seat and pulled out a couple magazines to look at. I realized that I was one the cover of one of them and chuckled to myself.

"What's so funny?" Jacob asked with a slight smile, as he took his headphones out.

"Nothing, its just that i'm on the cover of this magazine." I said as I showed him the cover.

"Oh, that's pretty cool." He said putting his headphones back in.

I decide to watch a movie, so I brought out my iPad and put it on the table in front of me.

The movie I picked was The Fifth Wave even though I watched it a billion times, it was still a good movie.

"Hey isn't that the movie we watched at that party we had last year?" Jacob asked.

"I'm not sure i've been to many parties, but most likely yes." I responded.

"Can I watch too?" He asked nonchalantly.

"Sure I guess." I said as I gave him one earbud.

We were about 15 minutes into the movie when I was falling asleep, from what I remember. When I woke up the iPad was on his table and he had both earbuds in, while I was knocked out on my table. I decided to let him be and finish the movie as I checked what time it was. We still had about 2 hours left on the plane. I turned around to see my sister looking out the window, she turned around and saw me looking at her.

"You finally woke up?" Kenzie said.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked.

"About 30-40 minutes I would guess." She responded.

"Eh, no too long," I said.

"Jacob got annoyed and stole your iPad halfway through your movie." She told me.

"I can see," I said as he turned to us and smiled.

We laughed and talked for about another 20 minutes. Jacob finished the movie around the same time we stopped talking. I was bored out of mind, and couldn't go the sleep. Jacob seemed to be struggling to be comfortable also, while Mackenzie was half asleep.

"Are you tired?" I asked Jacob.

"I'm trying to be, but its not working out too much," Jacob said with a slight laugh.

"I feel you're pain these seats aren't too comfy." I said back to him.

"At least you got some sleep i've been awake since we go on the plane." Jacob said.

"You got me on that one," I said as I smiled.

"So what have you been up to in the last year?" Jacob asked.

"Not much, same old same old. What about you?" I asked him.

"I just had a couple of meet-ups and met some new friends. Other than that, nothing really changed." He said.

"How did we even stop talking?" I asked curiously.

"I'm not sure, I think you just got close with Mark and I ended up becoming friends with Ashley (read last few chapters if you don't remember her.)" He said.

"Maybe, so how's Ashley?" I asked.

"She's cool, we got kind of close I guess you could say." He said.

"Like how close?" I asked.

"Like I might like her just a little bit." He confessed.

"Wow okay, have you told her?" I said a bit shocked

"No, I don't think I will. They're not strong feelings, so I think i'll hold back on telling her." He said.

"If you like someone you should tell them. You should listen to your heart not ignore it." I told him.

"I'll think about it I guess."He said.
