My Journey

Back to LA

09/09/2017

"Wake up, Alba. We gotta go." He said laying down gently behind me and stroking my back. Then when I opened my eyes and saw him he kissed my right temple.
"What? I'm ready, I was just taking a power nap." I said as I smiled at the kiss and rubbed my eyes.
"Sure, I see you are already ready. Gray and are too. My mom is ready to take us to the airport too."
"Okay, I'll get up." I said as I sat up on the bed and stood up. Meanwhile Ethan was standing next to the bed waiting for me with my suitcase on his hand.
"Ethan, you seriously have to stop spoiling me. I can carry my suitcase." I said as I put one of the straps of my backpack on my right shoulder.
"Uuummmmm..... Nah, I like spoiling you this way. I feel like a good gentle man." He said as he came closer to me and kissed me. "Plus, Grayson and I have already put our suitcases and backpacks in the trunk." After that, he put his arm around me and we went downstairs.
"The lovebirds have come down, mom!!!!! They're very close, it makes me feel weird seeing my brother with a female this close to him." Grayson yelled at his mom.
"Oh, come on Gray. E-tee-wee-tee has the right to love." Lisa said when she came out of the kitchen.
"Mom! Don't say that ever again, please." Ethan said covering his face with the hand he had on my suitcase.
"Please do! I love that nickname, E." I said looking at him.
"See Ethan, it isn't that bad. You don't have to be embarrassed of it." Lisa said as she put her hand up for a high five, and I gave her a high five. "I like her. Keep her."
"Thank you." I said as I turned a shade of light read and giggled, looking at Ethan who was already looking down at me.
"Okay, can we go?" Grayson said annoyed.
"Yes, we can." Lisa said grabbing the car keys and heading out of the door, so we all followed her. Ethan grabbed my suitcase and I again. When we reached the car him and I went to the trunk and he put my suitcase in before I put my backpack. After a 20 minute drive, we arrived at the airport.
"It's time to say goodbye to my favourite boys." Lisa said opening her arms to hug both, Ethan and Grayson, so they both went in for the hug and I could her so many 'I love yous'.... I'm so happy they're this close to her and happy because they are truly thankful for having her. Seeing all of this made me feel emotional and made my eyes water. "Come on, Alba. Come join the hug, I think we can consider you a Dolan now, can't we?" She said, looking at Ethan in that last part.
"So far so good. We can." He said opening the hug between him and Grayson. I went in for the big and I could feel a tear fall down my cheek. When we pulled away from the hug, I quickly wipped the tear off, so no one could see it, but I think Ethan saw as he put his arm around me and squeezed my shoulder. We then went to the trunk and got everything out of it.
"Hope to see you soon, Alba." Lisa said as she pulled me into a hug. "Take care of each other, okay?" She whispered in my ear and I nodded lightly so Ethan of Grayson couldn't notice. Then we all said our goodbyes and we went into the airport. I couldn't get the image of them hugging Lisa so tightly and with that came the thought of my mom, which made me emotional again, but I played it off.
"Hey Alba, didn't you say you were gonna vlog today?" Ethan said as we went thought the security service.
"Oh yeah. I'll vlog when we go through all of this, when we're waiting for the plane to arrive." I said putting my backpack on the rail. Once we got though everything I didn't doubt on taking my camera out and start vlogging.
"Well, it's another vlog in'it?" I said as I pointed towards Ethan and Grayson that were sitting on the chairs and I was sitting on the floor.
"You are so weird when you vlog..." Grayson said looking at his phone the whole time.
"People that follow us on Snaochat are gonna think that we treat you like a dog." Ethan said leaving his phone.
"Why?" I said as I looked up at him.
"Because the last time we filmed in LAX you were also sitting on the floor and we were sitting here." He said looking down at me.
"Maybe, I may also add that my last vlog was with you. At the beach." I said looking at the camera. "What they're really gonna think is that you are the only friends I have, honestly."
"We are." Grayson said looking slightly at the camera.
"RUDE!" I said in a fake offended voice. "But kinda true. You, Aaron, Jack and Jess are the only friends I have in LA." I said in a depressed voice.
"Shouldn't you address why we're in an airport?" Ethan said looking at the camera.
"Yeah, probably should." I said. "We are here, because if you don't already follow us on Snapchat, which you should usernames in the description, you wouldn't know that we have been in New Jersey for the past week and a half, and now we're going back to LA. And we are now waiting for the plane to come, bored. Grayson with his phone," I pointed at him. "Ethan being Ethan" I caught him doing the turtle man face. "with his turtle manliness, and me with my camera looking like a crazy seventeen year old, who has not social life and that look ridiculously out of place." I cut the camera off.
"Did you catch me turning into turtle man?" Ethan asked me.
"Yes I did."
"Sick, now 4 million more people are gonna know."
"I only have two and half on my vlogging channel... Got that wrong." I said as I squeezed his thigh.
"Ow!" He said lifting his leg and putting his hands where I squeezed him.
"Oh, come on, I haven't worked out in ages. It can't be that bad...." I said making fun of what they said in the hike and taking my phone out. After that we find out by the airport lady that our plane has landed and that we would be boarding in the next 10 minutes. So we went to where the plane was going to be boarding so we could go directly to our seats with no people around us that may disturb us. After a while one of the flight attendants came out and we were checked in, so we did what we wanted. Take a seat and sleep, except I waited for Ethan and Grayson to fall asleep so I could film them for my vlog. Ethan was next to me and I was again on the window seat. I took out my camera, knowing that him sleeping with his head on my shoulder would make a great feast for the Elba shippers, but I didn't care cause he looked so stincking cute. I started filming me and having them on the background. I decided to get a close up of Ethan sleeping, cause why not. That wasn't a smooth move, cause he woke up, but as he was wearing a sweatshirt and had the hood on, he just grabbed the side of it and covered his face when he saw I was filming. I then took a little bit of footage from the window to make an artsy timelapse, because what kind of vlogger are you if you don't have an artsy timelapse in your vlog?
When the plane landed I got a clip of Ethan and Grayson stretching, as I woke up a lot before they did. They are like freaking sloths. If there's a chance to sleep, they won't let it go.
We did the same thing as when we landed in Jersey, we waited for everyone in our side of the plane to come out as it would be easier to get off the plane and get the backpacks down.
