Don't Lose Hope - Tony Stark x Reader

14. Bonding

Somehow, by the grace of God, I made it to the airport quickly. Normally it would be jammed with traffic, but it wasn't for some reason.

I drive over to where the parking is and park the car. I just sit there for a second. All I can think about is Teresa and (BFF/N). Teresa is a fighter but... This is one battle she may not win. But I can't imagine what (BFF/N) is feeling. Teresa's all she has.

I gather myself together, text (BFF/N) the time she should pick me up, and get put of the car. I walk around to the trunk and pop it open. After grabbing my things I make my way over to the security check. It's like Thor himself had put some magical Barbie spell on this airport because everything was moving very quickly. Since I didn't have to wait in line for everything for a long time, I had a good amount of time to just sit and relax.

I walk over to the windows and plop myself down. Looking forward, I'm greeted by the beautiful sky. Obviously I pull put my phone, take a picture, and add it to my Snapchat story.

I start browsing through Instagram to distract my mind and to pass the time. I'm looking through my recommended when I get a notification.

Taylor Swift followed you

OH MY GOD! What have I done to be blessed today?!

I quickly take a screenshot and send it to the group chat. Everyone starts freaking out. I can't tell if Nat or Clint freaks out more... Hmm...

Before I know it, I hear over the intercom that my plane is now boarding. I make my way over to my gate and shuffle in. I find my seat and sit down. Thank the Lord it's a window seat. I hate every other seat.

I put my stuff in the over head compartment besides my purse. I sit down and pull out my phone and wait for the plane to take off.

Out of my peripheral vision, I noticed someone sat down but didn't bother to look up.

"(Y/N)?" I hear my name so I pop my head my to see Taylor Swift sitting next to me. Oh my God...

"Wait.. Did you say my name?" Why did I ask that? Out of all the things I could've said... I said that...

"Yeah! I just followed you on Instagram. This is crazy running into you." Taylor says that so nonchalantly. DO YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW?! I'M TRYING NOT TO EXPLODE FROM GLEE!

"Yeah... Crazy." OMG I sound so stupid. "I'm so sorry. I sound so weird right now. I'm trying not to freak out. Someone I look up to so much followed me on Instagram and now remembers me." Kill me... I sound like a creep.

"Don't worry about it. Remember when I commented of Natasha's post a while ago?" I nod my head while turning my body towards her. "I was super bored so I decided to go stalk you. I like to Instagram stalk my fans and I could tell you were a fan. But you seemed really cool and I wanted to follow you then but I forgot."

...Wow...

"Aww I'm flattered. But since we've never had a formal introduction..." I clear my throat, sit up, and hold out my hand. "I'm (Y/N)." Taylor laughs and extends her hand to shake mine.

"I'm Taylor. Nice to meet you (Y/N)." We both laugh as we settle more into our seats. "So why are you heading out to California?"

Oh boy...

"Well my best friend, (BFF/N), is currently in California because her mom has stage 4 cancer. And her mom is like my second mom since I lost mine when I was 10." I explain before take taking a breath.
