RYDEL'S POV:
I woke up to flashing and clicking noises, and that could only mean one thing. Mom or the boys are taking pictures. I fluttered my eyes open to find myself sitting on Ellington, he was still sleeping though.
"5 minutes till boarding, sweetie," my mom giggled.
I got off Ellington and stretched. He then woke up, yawning. He looked so cute aww.
"Ellington! Get up and stand by Rydel, I wanna get pictures!" My mom ordered.
Ellington did what he was told and wrapped his arm around my waist. And for the first picture we just smiled. Then, the boys joined and we made silly faces.
"THE DIRECT FLIGHT FOR CALIFORNIA IS BOARDING NOW!" A lady's voice rang over the intercom.
Dad wheeled our luggage over and put it in the drop off. I took my carry-on and mom took hers too. We gave the lady our tickets and boarded the plane. I had a window seat and Ellington was sat next to me, and the seat next to the aisle was empty. Mom, Dad, and Ross were i'm the seats in front of us. Rocky, Ryland and Andre sat in the seats across from us.
"Since this is a late flight we will be handing out our sleep kits momentarily!" The lady said over the speaker.
And right on cue, someone came down the aisle and gave out the kits. I opened mine and slipped on the sleeping mask. I let my head rest on Ellington's shoulder and let sleep take over my body.
ELLINGTON'S POV:
Just as Rydel dozed off, the lady on the speaker spoke again, "there will also be someone coming down the aisle taking drink orders!" Thank god. I'm so thirsty.
"Hello sir, would you like anything to drink?" A tall man said to me.
"Umm, a hot chocolate would be nice, do you have any?" I asked.
"We do indeed, it'll be here momentarily!" He said with a smile.
I relaxed in my chair and turned on the small television. There was a movie in it and it was Grown Ups 2. I haven't gotten to see this yet and let me tell you, I'm super excited. The man came back and gave me my hot chocolate. It was perfect drinking temperature. I took a big sip and put the cup in the cup holder. Suddenly, I got super sleepy and let my head rest on Rydel's. Sleep has never felt so good.

"Kids," Stormie started, shaking us,"It's time to get off the plane." She smiled.
I yawned and so did Rydel, she stretched out her arms and brushed her hair lightly with her fingers. She took her carry-on out from the small compartment above her head. Everyone got off the plane, although most of us were still half asleep. Mark and Andre took the luggage. Ryland called Uber LA, what a surprise. Once we got home, the luggages were put in the laundry room. Stormie had told me to stay over because she wanted to wash my things and she said it'd be easier. I mean it is midnight because we got a direct flight. The other boys were getting changed in the bathroom. Rocky was letting me borrow a pair of his sweatpants and a plain t-shirt.
RYDEL'S POV:
I groggily put my hair up in a messy high ponytail and washed up my face. I changed from from my lazy airport outfit into cotton shorts and a graphic muscle tee with some midcalfs. I slipped into my bed and rubbed my eyes.
Everyone was asleep yet I heard stirring.
"Hello!?" I whisper shouted.
I walked quickly down the hall with my head down, but within seconds, I hit into a body.
"Ouch," I said, rubbing my head. I heard a chuckle and I knew that it was Ellington.
"What're you doing up??" I whispered.
"I could ask you the same question," he smirked.
"I heard you!" I said, lighting slapping his bicep.
"I'm hungry," he laughed.
"Let's gooo!" I said, leaning into him. He wrapped his arm around my waist and we made our way down the stairs and into the kitchen.
A/N:
I was going to do a cliff hanger but I decided not to 'cause I'm not sure when the next update will be and I don't wanna keep y'all waiting. I'll try to update next week or so! ♡
