The air in the airport was thick. It was nearly 5 in the morning. It doesn't take that long to get to Atlanta from LA, But Simon wanted us to get there early. Stupid Simon. I was seated in one of the uncomfortable chairs that were scattered throughout the airport. Macy sat to my right, while Edwin was on my left. Ever since last night at the pool, Edwin and I have been talking nonstop. He was like a brother to me.
"Lily, I want to sit next to you on the flight." Edwin said, sighing heavily after he spoke. His head was laying on my shoulder and I think he was trying to go to back to sleep. I didn't say anything back due to the fact that I wasn't fully awake nor did I care. I would much rather have Edwin sit next to me me than Brandon.
Ever since our incident at the pool, he's been avoiding me. I'm not a bad kisser and and neither is he. I felt something in that kiss and I know he did too. I could tell by the way he pulled away afterwards and said, 'Damn, Mara', and went back in for more.
"Flight 237 to Atlanta is now boarding." I nudge Edwin slightly and he rose from his seat and I did so after him. He looped his arm around mine as we walked to the gate of our flight.
Brandon was in front of me boarding the plane. As he handed his ticket over to the woman, his eyes found mine and he looked away quickly before making his way on the plane. I heaved out a sigh and handed the woman my ticket, placing my luggage into the cart and making my way into the plane. I found my seat and thankfully, it was a window seat. Edwin was behind me, taking a seat beside me. Brandon was in the row in front of us, directly in front of Edwin.
"What's wrong?" Edwin asked, buckling his seatbelt then looking back up at me.
"Nothing." I said, knowing that Brandon was listening. I turned my phone off and buckled my seat belt. At least I did it by myself this time. As the plane took off, Edwin had already fallen asleep on my shoulder so I laid my head on top of his and copied his actions.

"Awwwwweee," a voice said, making me open my eyes slowly. Macy stood in the aisle of our seats with a smile on her face. I looked around and noticed that Edwin was still asleep and that the plane had landed. I have a problem with falling asleep on airplanes apparently.
I nudged Edwin and he slowly awoken from his peaceful nap. "We're here," I told him, walking into the aisle. He rose from his seat and followed behind me out of the plane.
We were going to be staying at a hotel for a few days while the boys attended a few events and performed at a few gigs. Simon had already paid for everything, since, well, it was his job.
"Liliana, me and you are sharing a room!" Macy said, slinging her arm around my shoulder as we walked to the elevator together.
"This should be fun," I said, earning a smile from Macy. The elevator doors opened and we all stepped in.
"I swear, we're going to break an elevator one day." I chuckled, referring to how cramped it was. Everyone laughed and there was only one laugh that stood out to me. His.
His brown eyes burned holes through me. I felt as if he were listening to my thoughts like a mind reader. That would just be insane, and pretty cool to be completely honest. I took my attention away from him and stared at the silver elevator doors, wishing they soon would open soon. As if one cue, a ding sounded and they slid open. Thank God I was in the front. I walked out quickly and turned to find Macy.
"What room are we in?" I asked, making her pull out the credit card sized hotel key.
"145." She said, walking down the hallway. I followed behind her and and seen that we were right next door to Brandon. she slid the card through the lock and it opened with a loud buzzing noise.
"Lily," a voice said as Macy walked into the room. "Lily, can we please talk?" I took a deep breath and walked into the room, shutting the door behind me.
I know it was pretty rude, but you're not just about to make out with me in a pool and then ignore me for over 24 hours, no sir. I was gonna fight fire with fire. It's not the right thing to do, but whoever said I choose the right things to do? Exactly, No one.
Macy had placed her bag on the nearest bed to the window so I just placed mine on the only once left. As I was halfway finished unpacking my bag, Macy spoke up. "So what's up with you and Brandon?" She asked, making me look up.
I groaned and fell onto my bed after placing the last item of clothing into a drawer. I really didn't want to explain anything because I honestly didn't know where me and Brandon Stood. I mean, I had only known the boy for 2 months.
I huffed out a sigh and rolled over so I was facing her. "I honestly and truly do not know." I said, pushing a piece of hair behind my ear to get it out of my face. "If I tell you something, you have to promise that it stays between us." I told her, sitting up and letting my legs dangle off the bed.
