Rare; Fionn Whitehead

twenty-eight

As Alice steps off the aeroplane, into the world, she feels alone. Even though she is in one of the most crowded places on earth, an airport, she feels alone. Her mind isn't helping either, every minute reminding her of Fionn.

As she walks off to the baggage claiming area she scoffs to herself, laughing at her own thoughts. She feels crazy, she's only been with this boy for a month and she's crazy about him, crazy in love. But i guess, that's what you call true love. Maybe just maybe, he's her soulmate.

Her eyes scan every passing suitcase, looking for her pastel yellow suitcase. Yes, she's got a yellow suitcase, i mean yellow is her favourite colour after all. Finally after almost freaking out that maybe her suitcase hadn't made it to LA, she spots her pastel yellow suitcase coming towards her. She struggles to get through the crowd as she reaches for her suitcase. Just as she pulls her suitcase off the band she accidentally swings around, knocking a guy off his feet.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!!" she exclaims as she sticks out her hand for the guy to grab.

The guy laughs as he grabs hold off her hand, Alice pulling him up while doing so. He straightens his clothes and picks up the remainder of his stuff before turning back to Alice.

"Don't be sorry, accidents happen" the guy says with a warming smile.

Alice returns a smile, then awkwardly standing in front of him, not knowing what to do or say.

"I'm Liam" the boy says, sticking out his hand.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Liam, I'm Alice" she replies with a warm smile while shaking his hand.

"I'd love to stay and chat but unfortunately i need to go" Liam says, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, me too" Alice replies and with a slight chuckle.

She bends down to pick up her bags before grabbing hold off her suitcase. Just as she was wheeling out her suitcase, she gets stopped by a hand wrapping around her wrist. She turns around in shock, to see the boy she just met, Liam, holding her wrist.

"The thing is, I'd love to get to know you better Alice. But if you leave right now and walk out of those doors to god knows where, I'll never get to speak to you or see you ever again. And i just can't let that happen. So what I'm proposing is, let's exchange numbers" Liam says with a warm smile while letting go of her wrist.

Alice returns the warm smile while handing Liam her phone as she takes his. She punches in her number before giving Liam the phone back.

"Well Liam, i guess I'll see you around" Alice says with a smile.

"I guess you will" Liam replies with a warm smile.

Her hands wrap around the handle off her suitcase as she wheels it outside to the taxi awaiting for her. The taxi driver opens the trunk to put in her suitcases as she gets into the passenger seat of the car. She tells the driver the directions to her apartment, before resting her head back onto the head rest and staring out of the car window, trying to shut out all sorts of emotions she is feeling right now.

Her keys make a loud 'ching' as she throws them on the kitchen counter. She drags herself all the way to her bedroom, throwing her stuff on the ground before getting onto her bed and kicking her shoes off. She rests her head onto her pillow, while staring up at the bare ceiling above her. A tear slowly drips down her cheek as she thinks off Fionn.

Buzz.

Alice switches off her phone before getting up to walk to her bathroom. She slides off her clothes before turning on the hot water tap in her shower and carefully stepping in.

After her shower, Alice walks back to her room to put on some more comfortable clothes. As she reaches down to her bed to get her phone she sees that Fionn has sent her a message.

fionn: hey love, how was your flight? x

ali: it was okay i guess

fionn: just okay?

ali: plane rides aren't really amazing when you're leaving your love behind

fionn: aw ali, i wish i could come over and hug you right now

fionn: do you want to face time right now?

fionn: that makes sense gorgeous, well I'll let you sleep and if i have time I'll call you when you wake up

fionn: goodnight love x

ali: goodnight babe x

Alice switches off her phone and plugs the charger into her phone before getting up and turning off her ceiling light. She walks back to her bed and cuddles up into her warm blankets before reaching over to her right side to turn off the light on her night stand. She rolls back over on her back, staring up at the barely visible ceiling before slowly falling asleep.
