Against All Odds

Chapter 26

~Jess's POV~

"Jess sit by me!" Cam says patting the seat.

"Jess get over here." Nash says, looking at the empty seat between him and Taylor.

I give him an apologetic look and sit next to Cameron, who's seated next to Matt.

I'm not tryna fight with Taylor on a plane.

"You didn't wanna sit next to your lover?" Matt asks, smirking.

"Actually maybe I will go sit next to Nash." I grin.

His smile fades and Cam laughs.

"I'm kidding Matt." I reach over and pat his arm. "Or am I."

He rolls his eyes, sticking out his tongue.

"How longs the trip?" Cam asks looking down at me.

"Oh I thought you'd know everything about air travel. Considering you read a book called 'the fault in our clouds'. " I joke with him.

He playfully hits my arm, and I can hear Johnson laughing behind us. Finally. He hasn't laughed in a while.

"Oh and to answer your question it'll be a little over an hour. Quick one."

He nods his head, leaning back.

I look over at Matt and see he's scrolling through his phone. Trying to get a glimpse I lean my chair back. I know I'm nosy . Shut up.

He's looking through his photos, most of all the boys. A lot of Gilinsky. I can see him getting emotional and I start having a heavy feeling in my chest.

He died in a plane crash.

Holy shit.

I'm on a plane.

Holy shit.

I'm on a plane.

HOLY MOTTHER JAKAAUW.

I grab Cams wrist really tight and close my eyes.

He jolts up putting his other hand on my arm.

By this time, Nash, Matt, an Shawn are staring at me, knowing exactly what's happening.

"Jess.. I'm right here.. You'll be okay." Cam nuzzles my head into his shoulder.

The plane begins to take off and I freeze, not being able to move.

God Gilinksy please help me.

I can't do this.

Then I hear it...

I don't know how..

I don't know where..

But I hear his voice.

That deep, raspy voice.

"You can do it babe." Gilinskys voice fills my ears, "You'll make it out okay. Your sexy best friend will make sure of that."

I let a tear fall and I release from Cams grip.

I slowly sit back in my seat, shutting my eyes.

"I miss you " I whisper, hoping to hear him respond.

But of course he didn't.

It's all in my head.

**

"It is way too fucking hot here." I moan, tossing my suitcase onto the bed.

Nash laughs placing his on the other bed.
