On a gray September morning in Boston, Massachusetts, you were packing the rest of your belongings onto the plane. Depression took a big part in your day, since you dreaded planes so much. All you could think about was curling up next to Cam, tucked tight under a blanket. You hear you name being called several times, when finally, Looking up with tired eyes, you hear Cameron ask

"Baby, are you ok?"

"What? Oh, yeah. I'm ok, I just dozed off." You answer trying not to reveal the fact that you didn't want to be there at all.

"We're going to be just fine, darling", he says with a smirk looking deep into your eyes. "Just hold my hand and we'll get through this".

Hearing him say that made you feel so safe and protected, like you had nothing to worry about; not a care in the world. Completely fearless. Once you finish packing your belongings onto the plane, you see something a little odd in your peripheral vision. You turn quick to see a small group of boys with a girl waving at you while entering the curtain held at the front of the plane. You squint your eyes and soon realize that those aren't just any regular boys and a girl, it was the rest of Magcon! Seeing your friends for the first time in so long made you feel a lot better about this whole situation, so you wore a welcoming smile as they walked up to say hello.

"What are you guys doing here?" you said while giggling, trying to hold your feelings back.

Mahogany gave you a big hug and began to tear up a little. "I missed you so much, girl"

You hug back, and you two sit down, leaving the rest of the seats filled with strangers and teenage boys. Cam finds a seat next to Matt, who's laughing about some cat video he saw on twitter. Cam glares over the seat looking for you, your eyes already on him. Once he sees your eyes, he shoots you a serious look and mouths the words are you okay to me. You send a slight nod back, blow him a kiss and sit back down in your seat.

"Everything okay?" Mahogany asks.

You wanted to be strong for her and Cam, but once you heard her ask you that question, you just couldn't be. Tears filled your eyes, as you cleared your throat.

"Not yet, but it will be... soon enough."
