cara♡

it had been an 8 hour plane ride and i slept through most of it, probably due to the fact that emalee and i only slept for 3 hours last night. i was excited, corinna had been trying to lift my spirits for the last hour or so of the journey. it worked a bit but i still felt horrible about leaving.

"look cara, they will be fine. i know your parents will get their heads stuck into work before you know it and emalee will be back to her normal bubbly self, as soon as she realises that you are doing best for you, and that it will be quicker than she thought. you aren't being a horrible person for moving out here and pursuing your dreams." she draped her arms around my shoulders and brought me into her side as we walked through the airport to baggage claims. it was as if she read my mind and decided to give me a pep talk, and it was quite reassuring.

"oh forgot to tell you, finn and nancy are meeting us here at the airport before nancy hands him off to me." she said and i could tell she was nervous. she managed to look after me and emalee when we went to la, but i understand how nervous it would be to look after a child you've never really met.

"we all survived la and i'm sure finn is not as energetic and easily excited as emalee. in fact, i know that. you'll be fine." now the tables have turned and i'm the one reassuring her. a smile crept onto my face when i saw our bags on the conveyor belt making me rush to grab them. 

as we were walking along the flat escalator i saw a mess of curly black hair walking towards us with his agent. "cara!" he called out, probably attempting to get my attention when his hair did that for me.

"finn!" i mocked him jokingly causing all four of us to laugh. i saw nancy walk to me with open arms and she whispered into the hug,

"please look after him cara, you'll get along brilliantly but don't let anything bad happen to him." she had a small smile on her face and i could tell their relationship resembled mine and corinna's. i pulled away from the hug and reassured her before i made my way over to finn with open arms.

"cara, it's been ages since i saw you!" he said as we embraced. it made me chuckle considering we spoke last night and i fell asleep talking to him.

"well if you consider last night ages ago sure it's been way too long." he chuckled and looked at the floor, continuing to talk about the whole facetime ordeal until corinna and nancy walked to us.

"well i'll see you soon finn." nancy hugged him so corinna and i gave them space to say goodbye. he returned after speaking to her and he seemed slightly sadder. i gave him a reassuring smile and we made our way to the car that corinna had rented. she passed the aux cable back to me so i put on my spotify playlist which was filled with random songs. some of the choices earned a grin from finn which was great considering how well he knew his music; but others made us all laugh.

just as we pulled into the driveway of our new house, i heard the opening of 'all star' so i quickly stopped the playlist and turned to finn, while the songs were playing he had joined me in dancing and singing in my seat, while corinna just sung because she was driving. we hopped out quickly and we ran up to the apartment, leaving us slightly out of breath.

"ben said he hired people to come and furnish it, he sounded pleased when we spoke on the phone." corinna said as we walked up the stairs that took us to the front door. she handed the key to finn as he was at the top of the stairs.

he opened the door revealing a mainly white living room with a large grey sofa which took up most of the space in the centre of the room. there was a cosy fireplace to the side of it and big double doors that open up to a balcony. we all walked around and discovered a black and white kitchen with a breakfast bar and dining table inside. there were 3 bathrooms; 2 en-suites and 1 main bathroom. all with a bath and very modern furnishings. then the thing that blew us away the most were the bedrooms. they were all very similar and finn and i decided we should let corinna pick first.

she decided on the one with the biggest en-suite which left one normal room and one with the en-suite. i didn't really mind either one, but it would be nice to have the en-suite.

"i guess the fairest way is to flip a coin?" i suggested. i was searching my pockets for a coin.

"heads or tails?" he asked when i passed him the 10p i still had in the back pocket of my jogging bottoms. 

"heads." he flipped it and caught it. placing a palm over the result, we were anxious to see what side it was.

"so if it's heads you get the room with the en-suite, if it's tails then i get the room with the en-suite." he nodded and i agreed while he lifted his hand off of his arm revealing which side it was. he kept a poker face and showed me the result.

"yes! i get the en-suite, sorry mate." i patted his shoulder in a mock reassuring way, "now let's get these boxes into our rooms." i gestured to the boxes of our belongings that had just been sitting in the hallway, he offered to help carry them but i politely declined and walked into my room, sorting through all of my things from home.
