Lucy's p.o.v
I woke up the sound of rustling around and quiet shouting, I winced at the light from the lit up room and sat up, gently rubbing my eyes, I looked around me and saw that I was still on the living room sofa, so I just assumed that I fell asleep and Ivan didn't want to wake me so he just left me, which I was fine with. I grabbed my phone from the coffee table next to the sofa and checked the time, it was 5:40am, I stood up and dragged myself into the kitchen to see Emilio eating a small bowl of cereal "morning Emilio" I said yawning "Morning" he said back, I sat down at the dining table on the chair opposite him "why are we up so early, where's Ivan?" I asked starting to check social media on my phone "we're flying back to California today remember" My eyes shot open, I had completely forgotten that yesterday was our last day in Spain "oh my gosh I completely forgot! I don't think I've even packed!" I cried, Emilio went to speak but I cut him off by running out of the room and up the stairs to my bedroom. I pushed the bedroom door open to find Ivan sat on the floor next to my large black suitcase folding up all my clothes, "Ivan what are you doing?" I asked sweetly "well I figured that you forgot to pack and so I came to check and saw that you hadn't so I'm just packing everything for you" he said, my jaw dropped and I sat down next to him, I gave him a huge hug and sighed with relief "thank you so much Ivan you didn't have to do this!" I told him although he just grinned and then carried on packing, in which case I started to help out with.
Soon Emilio started to help out too as they were both ready to leave, we all had a roll each, Emilio's roll was to grab whatever items he could find and pass them to Ivan, starting with any type of clothing items, Ivan's roll was to fold the items or do whatever he can to make them smaller and more compact and then pass them to me and I was packing everything into the suitcase. Emilio and Ivan did mess around a bit but we managed to finish packing within 10 minutes.
Once we had finished packing I quickly brushed my hair and tied it up into a high pony tail and quickly got changed, I threw on an oversized hoodie and some black leggings and we were then all set. Emilio strolled down the stairs first then Ivan, who was carrying my heavy suitcase down the stairs and then I walked behind him and just admired his muscly back and arms thinking of how lucky I am to have him in my life.
We had got downstairs and the boys had already put the suitcases in the car. My hand luggage was already packed and so I slung it over my shoulder as I hopped in the back of the car.

We soon arrived at the airport and wondered around a bit, we went through security and bag check which went surprisingly quickly, once we had done that we went to a small restaurant and ordered a large pizza to share between the three of us, it wasn't really breakfast food but it was still something. We devoured the pizza quickly and then after paying left the small restaurant, we had nothing to do and there were no decent shops so we just went straight to the gate. We sat down in the seats at our gate and waited, the boys were talking to each other although i was still knackered so instead of talking I just rested my hand on Ivan's and put my headphones in and started listening to my music.

Around 50 minutes had passed and we were now about to board the flight, so I took my headphones off and slid my phone into my bag, I kept ahold of Ivan's hand and Emilio was just slightly behind us, we walked on the plane and showed the air hostess' our boarding passes, they nodded and let us walk to our seats. We were in row 10 seats d, e and f. I sat by the window as I loved to take aesthetic shots of the clouds slightly below us with the mountains, land and sea far under us. Ivan sat in the middle so I could rest my head on his shoulder if I wanted to, and so that left Emilio to sit on the isle seat, which he was fine with. We sat on the plane for about 25 minutes before it started to move although when it took off I straight away pulled my phone out of my bag and started to spam my phone with photos of the ground getting lower and lower below us.

10 hours later we had finally arrived in California. I was finally home. Ivan, Emilio and I got off the plane and strolled through the airport straight to passport check, we gave the man at the desk our passports one at a time, every time he would just look at us for a spilt second and then stamp something on the passport and then pass it back, there were multiple staff members doing passport check so it went fairly quickly. We then went through to baggage claim, we walked to the end of the room where our carousel was and waited whilst multiple bags and suitcases circled past us, although eventually Emilio spotted our bags and so both Ivan and Emilio grabbed the bags when they saw them and placed them down next to our feet and soon enough we were able to leave the airport. I had texted my dad when we had landed to come pick us up in my car (as we had a car each in America and Ivan and Emilio had a shared car in Spain) and luckily as we went to the pickup area my dad was already pulled into a space waiting for us, we ran to the car and my dad got out and engulfed me in a huge hug "your mum and I missed you honey" (we pronounce it as mum instead of mom as we are a British family but we moved to America) "I missed you too dad" I said into his shoulder as he was still holding me tightly in his arms. I eventually managed to pull away from him and helped Ivan and Emilio put our suitcases in the boot of the car. Once everything was packed away in the car we all jumped in, I sat next to my dad in the front whilst Emilio and Ivan sat in the back. My dad played the radio really loudly and we all sung our hearts out as we drove home. Dad dropped Ivan and Emilio off first as they lived  on a different road to me, he parked outside their house and all except my dad got out of the car, they took their bags out of the boot of the car and placed them gently on the ground "I'll see you soon, thank you for such an amazing holiday and letting me spend time with your family and both of you, and thank you Ivan for the best anniversary adventure day ever" the boys smiled and thanked me back, I gave Emilio a big hug and then did the same with Ivan, although after I had hugged him I quickly pecked him on the lips "see you soon" they both said in sync as they started to walk to their front door
with their suitcases dragging behind them "byee" I said back, I waited for them  to unlock the door and walk inside before I got back in the car and had my dad drive off.
