Chapter Twenty

Taking Off

-----------------

We're off to Ireland today.

Woo Hoo...

My parents still don't think I should go on tour... Well, screw them.

Everyone else supports me. Ethan, Seth... Jeez... that's, like, the only people I do anything with... My life is sad.

Anyways, we're leaving today. I went to band rehearsal two more times and we'll be skyping while I'm on tour so everything should be good. Though, I still haven't told the guys yet.

I don't even think I should tell the guys. I mean, how would they react? Aw, well...

I got all my stuff packed yesterday... With the help of Liam and Harry. Well, mostly Liam. Harry really only stuck around to say he's been to my flat before. Whenever I'd try to talk to him he'd be texting or looking out a window or eating something. But that's why I have Liam.

Now, we're at the airport. We'd just put our luggage on the bag-processor-thingy and are boarding. This is my first time on a plane...

I sat by the window and Zayn sat next to me. In front of me was Niall and Liam and behind us was Louis and Harry. I put on my seatbelt as the plane started moving, devouring the runway below it.

I felt a sudden rush of excitement when the wheels lifted from the ground and the plane was up 100 feet... 500 feet... 1000 feet... 1500 feet...

"H-how much higher is this gonna go?" I asked to no one in particular.

"A LOT! Oh! And this is where we do the loop-dee-loop!" Louis beamed, making me tightly grab onto the nearest object, which just so happened to be Zayn's arm.

"Don't worry Emma. He tried to fool me with that one back when we first got put in the group."

"So... No loop-dee-loop?" I asked.

"Nope." Zayn said, popping the 'p'.

I let out a huge breath and let go of his arm. Zayn's hand lifted and started snaking through my hair, braiding some parts and just twirling others.

"My hands

Your hands

Tied up like two ships

Drifting

Weightless

Waves trying to break it

I'd do anything to save it

Why is it so hard to save it..." Zayn sang softly.

"My heart

Your heart

Sit tight like book ends

Pages between us

Written with no end

So many words we're not saying

Don't wanna wait 'til it's gone

You make me strong..." Liam sang soon after.

Good thing we're on a private plane because... well... you'll see.

"I'm sorry if I say I need you

But I don't care I'm not scared of

Lo-o-o-ove

'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
