Chapter Seventy One - Flights

"I need to go!" I said running into the living room of my apartment. "I need to pack and go!"

"Wait what? Go where?" Ashley looked back up at me, eyes wide.

"God where did I put my suitcase for fucks sake!" I search relentlessly for my suitcase.

"Thea calm down and tell me where you're going" Ashley asked as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

Wiping the tears I didn't even realise had fallen and handed her the letter.

She quickly scanned through it and said "I'll try and get you a flight asap!"

This is why I loved this girl so much.

After dumping my essentials in a suitcase rather messily, I quickly closed the case up and made my way up to Ashley who was still on the phone.

"Yes that's great! Perfect! Thank you so much! Bye." She put the phone down and turned to me.

"Girl get your suitcase I'm driving you to the airport!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door.

The drive to the airport was silent, I could hardly stop fidgeting.

"See, I told you something was wrong! I can't believe Camila was THAT crazy to do something like that though." Ashley broke the silence.

"I know, and seeing how my twitter mentions are blowing up right now, I'm guessing someone leaked the screenshots" I said looking down at my phone.

The first notification on my photo was one from Celeb Gossip titled "Camila Rhodes roofied Ashton Irwin?! Thashton lives?"

I chucked at that one. Celeb Gossip were so extra but at least I was on there good side right?

"I should probably call one of the boys to warn them" I unlocked my phone and dialled Luke's number.

"Hello?" I heard his familiar deep voice say into the phone.

"Hey Luke, it's Alithea. Just a little heads up, I'm on my way!"

"On your way here? To Australia? Oh my god you got the letter? What time do you arrive? Do I need to pick you up from the airport? Oh my god thank god! I'm so done with miserable Ashton!" he shouted excitedly.

"Yes and yes, tomorrow 7pm australian time and no it's alright I already booked a ride. Plus you have a show too so I'll meet you there."

"Perfect! I'll see you then Alithea! And don't worry I won't say anything to Ashton."

"Thank you Blondie. I'll see you tomorrow!" I said before putting the phone down.

Shortly after, we pulled up at JFK. Thankfully, Ashley lent me one of her wigs as a disguise, that I topped off with a pair of sunglasses. I checked my reflection in the mirror and I was greeted with an unfamiliar girl with a short blonde bob with a fringe slightly covering my eyes. I smiled knowing that no one would recognise me like this.

After grabbing my things and saying my goodbyes to Ashley, I made my way inside the airport and got ready for one hell of an adventure.
