Don't Let Me Go

Delayed

Jack groans, sitting in a waiting area in the Florida airport he's been delayed at for a day now. He pulls his phone out again, he should have been in LA by now. He's getting annoyed, all the flights from this airport have been announced "Delayed until further notice" six hours ago. He pulls at his hoodie again, trying to keep from being recognized, he's not in the mood to deal with fans right now. One guy goes crazy and now I'm stranded in Florida, Jack pinches the bridge of his nose, Just great. At this rate, I'll be due back home by the time the planes are allowed to leave again.

"You know you're still recognizable, right?"

Jack looks up, frowning at the man before him, "I'm not in the mood to---- Wait, you sound familiar."

He chuckles and sits beside Jack, "Do I? What on earth gives you that idea?"

"Say 'and so it continues.'" Jack states.

The man smirks and Jack grins, "I knew it! You're Cry, what are the odds of running into you here?"

Cry chuckles, "Well, I do live around here. Big question is what is the great JackSepticEye doing in our humble state?"

"Plane got delayed," Jack sighs, "Now the entire airport is delayed."

Cry frowns, "Really? Was there a bomb threat or something?"

Jack shakes his head, "Some guy got sick and freaked out. He broke someone's arm. At least that's what happened on the plane I was on. We landed here and were told the flight to LA would continue once the injured people were taken to a hospital, and now the entire airport is being delayed."

Cry crosses his arms, "Weird. Doesn't seem like something to delay the entire airport for. One plane maybe, but the whole airport? Hmm.. Well, that sucks. I'm supposed to be on a plane to the UK right now."

"Really? Why?" Jack asks.

Cry shrugs, "I'm taking a vacation. Going to hang out with some friends I haven't seen in awhile. What are you going to LA for?"

"Supposed to be celebrating Mark's birthday. I was supposed to be in LA yesterday. I hope the delay doesn't last too long, Mark's birthday's in three days." Jack sighs.

"Totally forgot Ohm and Mark share a birthday," Cry chuckles.

Jack tilts his head, "They do, don't they?"

Cry nods, "He's meeting me in the UK, we're supposed to get on the same plane at a closer stop, since we're going to the same place."

"That's neat," Jack smiles, "Who are you guys going over there to see?"

Cry winks, "Just some friends."

Jack chuckles, "Right. Well, I hope you guys have fun."

"I'm sure we will, if the delay ever ends. I guess we could just go to a different airport." Cry stands, "I can drive you if you want. The nearest airport to this one is only a few hours away."

"What if that one's delayed, too?" Jack frowns.

"Why would it be?" Cry asks.

Jack sighs, "I guess you got a point."

He then smiles, "It couldn't hurt to check it out."

Cry smiles, "Great, let's go."

Jack nods and gathers his luggage before following Cry from the airport.

...

"Okay, that's fine. Just let me know when you get here and we'll come pick you up." Minx talks into her cellphone, pacing her living room, "Yeah, yeah, he talked to me before he got on the plane. He'll actually be here before you, he decided to skip the Florida stop. Says he doesn't like flying as it is, and doesn't want to make the travel time longer. I know, lucky him."

Krism throws popcorn at her wife, giggling. Minx rolls her eyes, ignoring her, "Sucks you had to go all that way just to get to a working airport. Why was Florida shut down anyway?"

"Come on, I want to finish this movie some time tonight." Krism throws more popcorn.

Minx holds up a hand towards her wife, continuing her phone conversation, "Really? There must be more to it than that. Well, I got to go, my wife's being impatient. Let me know as soon as you land."

Krism laughs, sticking her tongue out. Minx ends the call and sits back down on the couch, putting an arm around Krism, "Okay, movie time!"

"Finally!" Krism laughs, resuming the movie they had been watching when Minx's phone rang. The next morning Minx is woken by the ring of her phone. She groans, grabbing it off the nightstand. She sits up, putting the phone to her ear, "Hello?"

"Hey, girl," Ohm's voice replies.

Minx yawns, "Did your plane land yet?"

"Nope, we got delayed a few hours ago, some girl got sick or something. We just got back in the air, so the plane should be landing near you in a few hours." Ohm replies, "Just letting you know what's up."

"Okay, call me when you land. I'm going back to sleep." Minx chuckles, "Hm, you might land the same time Cry does."

Having both Cry and Ohm over, knowing both men share the same name, they all agreed to go by their YouTube names while the friends enjoy their vacation. Ohm laughs, "Awesome, I'll see you girls soon."

"See ya," Minx hangs up and lies back down. A few hours later, Minx's phone rings again. Minx leans over and retrieves the phone, not bothering to get out of bed yet, "Hello?"

"I'm here!" Ohm screams into the phone, laughing.

Minx sits up, "Great, I'll come get you. Do you know if Cry's plane has landed yet?"

"He just texted me, he said his plane should land in a few minutes." Ohm replies.

"Awesome, we'll meet you guys up there." Minx hangs up and turns over, shaking Krism, "Babe, wake up, we gotta go get the boys."

Krism rolls away from her, muttering, "Sleep."

Minx rolls her eyes and pushes Krism out of the bed. Krism yelps and Minx laughs. Krism sits up, glaring. Minx grins, "Are you awake yet?"

The two women laugh and quickly get ready to head to the airport.

"Don't forget the sign," Minx says as she grabs the car keys off the kitchen counter.

"Got it." Krism calls back, waving a large poster board with the words "RYANS' LESBIANS OVER HERE!" on it. They laugh and leave the house. Once in the car, Minx drives towards the airport her friends are waiting for her at.
