Chapter 16

We hand the man at the gate our tickets and make our way through to the plane. I’m really excited to be going to Australia. We sit down in our seats.

“21 hours, 39 minutes to go.” Zayn mutters plopping down.

“I love Australia, yeah yeah, they have kangaroos!” Louis sings. I just give him an odd look and pull out my IPod. This time I successfully plug the headphones in and put them into my ears. I click the shuffle button and a What Makes You Beautiful starts to play. I’m about to hit the shuffle button again when the Ipod is whipped from my hands. I look up to find Louis clutching it to his chest. “Never Skip A One Direction Song AGAIN.” He roars. I laugh and grab the gadget from his hands.  After only about three hours I’m sick and tired of listening to Zayn snore, Liam and Louis fight, Danielle and Eleanor talk about what kind of candy is the best, and Harry’s lap on which I am resting on is getting very uncomfortable.

“I’m sooo bored!” I exclaim. “How do you people stand this?”

“I sleep.” Grumbles Zayn.

“I annoy Liam!” Louis chants.

“I ignore Louis!” Liam pipes up.

“I play Angry Birds.” Adds  Niall. “Why are these little birds so oddly misshapen?” We all ignore his question and I look to Harry.

“I really don’t know what I usually do.” He tells me.

“He rants on and on and ON about how pretty the girls on the plane are!” Says Louis.

“Well there’s only one pretty girl on the plane today.” Harry says, playing with my ponytail. Danielle and Eleanor look at him insulted. He shoots them a look. I snuggle into his chest. He smells good. Kind of London-ey. It’s kind of hard to explain.

“I’m going to the bathroom.” I declare. When I get there, the line is short. Only about four people long. Ahead of me is a guy that looks to be around 20 years old. As I walk into the line, the person sitting in the seat in front of me shifts. All of a sudden I’m thrown into the man in front of me. I am SO sorry.” I say, picking up my fallen Ipod.

“It’s okay.” A voice says from above me. It’s deep and masculine. It would be quite attractive if I wasn’t struck with a feeling that overcame my body all at once. I freeze. I know that voice. It belongs to the one and only Jarrod Kinkaid. There’s nothing wrong with Jarrod. He’s one of the sweetest guys in the world. He went to my high school. I actually used to have a rather large crush on him. I would still if his dad hadn’t started dating my mom. “Callie?” He asks.

“Hi Jarrod.” I answer.

“What are you doing here? Your mom has been worried sick about you!”

“She knows where I am!” I say. “I’m not a baby Jarrod.”

“Does she know you are on a flight to AUSTRALIA?” He yells. People look our way.

“well, no.” I answer.

“I’m calling her.”

“No you are not.”

“Yes I AM.”

“NO YOU ARE NOT!” I yell. He whips out his cell phone. He’s just about to dial when I feel the hands on my waist. I’m scared for a second, thinking it might be somebody who’s gonna kick me off the plane for yelling, but the hands sink in and I immediately recognize them as Harry’s.

“Who’s this Cal?” Harry asks.

“Well…” I start.

“She’s my sister.” Says Jarrod.

“Almost.” I add.

 “Her mom doesn’t know where she is.” He says.

“She doesn’t need to know.” I say. It’s true Jarrod has come to be a brother figure while our parents where dating, but he doesn’t need to be my babysitter!

“Who is this anyway?” Jarrod asks. Harry looks offended              .

“I’m Harry Styles!” He exclaims.

“I don’t know who ‘Harry Styles’ is!” Jarrod argues.

“Liam!” Harry calls. “Come here and bring the magazine!” People are starting to look annoyed at us. I ignore them. Liam saunters up the aisle with a magazine in his hand. He hands it to Jarrod who looks at the cover.

“That’s me.” Harry says pointing to his picture.

“I see. One Direction.” Jarrod says.

“Yup.” Says Harry.

“So you’re like, famous?”

“YES!” Harry answers, getting slightly annoyed.

“Callie, why are you with them?” Jarrod turns his attention to me.

“I like to spend time with my boyfriend.”

“You’re BOYFRIEND!” He roars.

“Let’s go to our seats!” I suggest trying to change the subject.

“No, you are coming to my seat with me. Once we get off of this stupid plane I’m calling dad and we are going home.” Jarrod demands.

“Jarrod, you can’t control me!”

“You are my little sister Callie! I want to protect you!” I grab Harry’s hand and drag him back to our seats. I hear Jarrod following me.

“These our my brothers as much as you are!” I say to him, motioning to the boys.

“You’ve known them for 3 days!” he exclaims. I ignore him and sit down next to Louis. He immediately puts his arm around me.

“You never told me why you are going to Australia.” I say.

“I’m on a special trip.” He says.

“Oh really?” I ask.

“Yup.” He answers.

“What kind of trip?”

“It’s for the wedding.”  The light above me goes off motioning that we have to put our seatbelts on.  Jarrod grabs my hand and drags me to the back of the plane and plops me into a seat. He quickly buckles me in and sits down next to me. I start to unbuckle myself.

“Excuse me mam but you have to stay seated now.” Says a flight attendant.

“No you don’t understand! This isn’t my seat!”

“You’ll just have to wait until after the turbulence.” She says smiling. Shoot. I have to spend the next who knows how long sitting next to This.
