One Hundred Days • h.s

Chapter Three - How?

Jane's POV

So today is the time I'll go on my first ever vacation with Bella without guardians. I'm getting really giddy and I can't hide my excitement. This morning I held my passport and ticket so tight and stared at it for minutes before taking a bath. I feel like a homeless girl that was given treasures for being this excited. I hope everything will be fine.

I am currently double checking my things in case I forgot something. Almost half of my closet is in here. My mom even laughed at me last night while packing. She said I was too excited that she can see it in my actions.

"Jane! Let's go, you're gonna be late!" I hear my mom yell from downstairs.

"Coming!" I replied. I stood up from my bed and straightened my outfit. Picking up the suitcase from the bed, I bent a bit to reach for my handbag. When I was all set, I proceeded downstairs to see my mom waiting in the car. I load my luggage inside the trunk and went inside the car.

"Ready?" She smiled. I nodded, smiling at her too. She started the engine and sped off. I played with my fingers the whole ride. It was silent too, I was a bit surprised my mother didn't talk that much. I found it okay because I want silence, I won't be getting it for hundred days.

I was a bit worried about Bella's brother. What if he doesn't want my company or we won't get along well? That will be so awkward and very uneasy for me. I wasn't exactly a fan of living with a boy, the lack of father and brother figure explains why. My dad basically lived his whole life in London and I don't even have a brother. So that explains why I don't do living with boys. I did have a boyfriend but he never pressured me into things.

My phone buzzed and I received a message from Bella saying they are near the airport. I let my mom know and she just nodded. Why do I feel like we'll go there after them? Oh right, my mom drives like a man but never gets there a bit early from the usual time.

Taking a sharp turn and almost running into red lights, my mother managed to arrive in the airport safe and sound. I sighed in relief by the time we got there and she laughed at my reaction. She helped me unload my suitcase and hugged me like there's no tomorrow.

We spotted Anne with Bella pushing a two trollies -if that what they call it- towards us. I smiled at her and she smiled so big. She handed me the other trolly and I placed my suitcase on it. We bid our parents goodbye.

"I'm gonna miss you, Jane." Mom whispered while hugging me.

"I'm gonna miss you too, mom. Don't try to miss me too much, eh?" I broke the hug and chuckled lightly.

"Yeah right. Call me when you get there?"

"Of course. Bye mom. Love you." I kissed her cheek and waved goodbye as I follow Bella enter the airport.

"Hey Bells." I called out.

"Yeah?" She turned her head to me.

"I was wondering about college." I sighed.

"Our parents got it covered, Jane. Nothing to worry about." She smiled and pulled out a magazine in front of her and started reading gossips. I laid my head back and tried to sleep but I couldn't. The excitement still fills me and it won't back off.

This plane ride will just be for another two hours if I'm not mistaken. By lunch time we'll get there. I decided to just close my eyes but not fall asleep. I played some music through the earphones.

Suddenly, I felt someone tapping my shoulder lightly. "Hey, you hungry or something? Because I am." Bella asked.

"When are you not?" I teased and she rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'll get a sandwich and some Coke."
