after a while, I decided to get changed into something comfier for the plane ride. I got changed into Halloween leggings, a guns N roses tank, a marvel hoodie and vans. I walked back to the living room where all my friends were and sat down next to max. I put my head down on his shoulder and he put his arm around me. I looked over at the clock to check the time. it read 5:30. only an hour left until matt arrives to take me to the airport. I sighed and listened to their conversation. they were talking about some lesson that I wasn't in. It was drama. I didn't take drama because of my anxiety. I started to zone out so I just focused on the clock.

The minutes started to feel like hours when the clock was approaching 6:30. as soon as it hit it though, there was a knock at the door. I walked over to answer it. when I opened it, Matt was standing there. "hey, you ready to go?" he asked. "yeah let me go get my suitcase" I replied opening the door wider for him to come in. I walked to rosa's room to collect my suitcase. when I got back to the living room, Max, Onyx, Alex and Jude were 'questioning' Matt. Like a father would to a guy taking his daughter on a date. I laughed at them and hugged them all goodbye.

after an emotional goodbye, Matt and I left to go to the airport. The whole journey was an uncomfortable silence. Eventually, it was over and we were waiting to board the plane. I still felt like keeping myself a secret from Matt. maybe I would feel that about everyone else as well. I don't know. " flight 666 ready to board" the lady over the intercom said. Matt stood up and I followed his actions all the way to the plane. I had never been on a plane before. there was no need. my family were too poor to go on holiday and all my family over there wanted nothing to do with me and mum. I wasn't nervous though. we learnt about planes in physics. my chemistry teacher once told me that there is more chance of someone getting hit by a bus and dying than there is of a plane crashing. (a/n true story). I stepped on the plane and followed Matt to where we would be sitting.

finally, the plane landed in sunny California. "welcome home" Matt said to me with a big smile. I gave him a small smile in return and we made our way to get our luggage. fuck, it was hot here. I wasn't gonna take my hoodie off or roll the sleeves up because I didn't want Matt to see my scars. Self-harm and the ones kian left on me. I looked around. there were not many people here just a few business men. I grabbed my suitcases and waited for Matt to get his. I ended up putting my guitars and basses in a box and letting them get shipped here because I felt like it would give away too much about my life and shit. when Matt's suitcase arrived we headed to his car. it was a black Cadillac escalade with tinted windows in the front and back. I climbed into the passenger's side while Matt put the suitcases in the boot (trunk?). Matt got in the driver's side and we started to head 'home'.
