Camila POV
It was the day of the big move. My boxes had already been sent and now it was my turn to do the dreaded journey. I hate flying, but moving to London would be worth it. I'm not sure if I'm more excited about becoming a student there or being able to eat Nando's whenever I want.

As I say goodbye to my parents and Sofi at the airport, my heart absolutely breaks. Being so far away from my little sister is going to be the hardest part. She is truly my best friend. After so many hugs, kisses and "good luck's", I made my way into the departures terminal, tears still flowing down my face. I check in and rush through security, so not to change my mind. Once I'm through, I look for my gate on the board. It hits me like a ton of bricks that there is no turning back. I take a seat and wait patiently at the gate, silently sobbing and shivering from the far too cold air conditioning, or maybe it was just because I was sad.

"You look like you could use this."

I stare at what is being presented to me. A steaming hot cup of tea in a polystyrene cup and a chocolate chip cookie.

"I mean, I saw you over here looking cold and upset and I was waiting in line for tea anyway..sorry if that's weird."

I look up to put a face to the voice. There in front of me is the most angelic, beautiful girl I have ever seen.

I realise I'm just staring at her, basically catching flies with my mouth wide open.

"Oh...uh...th-thank you?"

She is not one bit fazed by me stumbling all over my words. She is so confident when she speaks.

"No problem sweets, so are you off to London too?"

She takes a seat next to me. I literally freak out. I'm not good at making friends, let alone keep a conversation going with an actual Goddess.

"Your eyes...Uh." is all I manage to squeek out before gathering my things and dashing to the bathroom to cure myself of embarrassment.

Lauren POV
I board the plane, still baffled as to what made the shy girl run away from me. Well I kinda did buy her a drink and basically tell her I had been watching her. I may as well have got down on one knee there and then, or ask her to carry my babies. She clearly didn't want to be bothered and I Invaded her personal space.

Way to go Lauren, even when you're trying to be nice to people, you still manage to push them away.

I decided that if I see the girl again, I'm not going to bother her.

I take my seat and try to ignore the mayhem around me of people pushing past up and down the aisle, knocking into me with their hand luggage. It's going to be a long flight so I decide to put in my headphones and drift into my own little world.

I wake up and realise we're already thousands of feet up in the air. I didn't even realise I had fallen asleep. It's been 3 hours and Lana's album has been on repeat. I take out my headphones. The lights are dimmed and the plane is near enough silent with people around me sleeping. All I hear is the faint noise of the engines and soft sniffles followed by the sound of vomiting. I look across to the aisle seat across from me. Just a silhouette of a body in a baggy hoodie, leaning into a sick bag.

"Hey, are you okay? Would you like some water or I can ask the cabin crew for an anti sickness tablet for you?"

She looks over at me, her face only visible from the dimly lit strip lights along the luggage holders. Her wavy hair is messy in her face and I can see that she's been crying. Even then, she still looks adorable. But I instantly regret opening my mouth when I realise its the girl who I scared off earlier.

To my surprise she smiles at me. Not one of those half hearted smiles but a real toothy smile.
"I hate flying." She responds accompanied by a soft giggle.
