Way To Live [Josh Raven] (English Version)

Chapter 4

To be honest Josh is a very nice person and he's making my flight much better. Even thought we aren't talking all the time, I guess he's not trying to stress me, he's touching my arm every once in a while to let me know he's there, either smiling or checking if I'm okay.

It's been three days since we've know each other and he's shown me how nice he is, taking care of me. He has also let me know he's always there.

–Are you okay? – He takes one of earphones out.

–Well I guess, yeah. – He nods and puts his earphone back.

I hate that he's looking after me all the time asking me if I'm okay or not, I don't have a chance if I don't want to die, but I'm really grateful.

Josh takes the armrest up so there's nothing between us, but now that we're landing we have to put it back in place. I hate landings. I hate planes. I put my hand on the armrest. We're landing now. Josh puts his hand on top of mine, maybe he didn't notice my hand was there because he backs away very soon. I can't help but smile with that.

Twenty minutes later the plane lands. Twenty horrible minutes. Josh didn't stop looking at me, just letting me know he was there right beside me.

After ten minutes they let us out, everyone starts going out. People that get up when the plane lands stressed me out, they make me stay on my seat for fifteen minutes until I can get out.

Josh seems to notice I'm getting stressed and that I want to get off this plane so he get's up and stops people from walking so we can get out.

Finally I get off the plane, with Josh. We wait till the rest of the crew is out.

–Are you okay? – I nod. Now I am.

Five minutes later everyone's out, we get through some security checks, passport control and there's a bug queue that we spent twenty minutes on.

We get through the controls and we take out stuff. We get out of the airport, nobody is speaking. We rent a van, the one we'll be using while we're here.

Now that I think of it, we didn't wait for the Sleeping With Sirens boys.

–Hey, Josh. – He turns around. – Where's the rest of the crew?

– Who? – He looks to our crew to check if everyone's here.

– Sleeping With Sirens.

– They'll be here soon, their luggage is taking a little longer. – I nod. It's weird we didn't wait for them. – We'll go to the hotel. We're staying in the same place so we will reunite there.

We load the van with all of our stuff and we get on. Stevie is the one driving now. I sit on the back seats, Josh next to me.

– Are you better now?

– More or less. – I smile.

– Was it that bad?

– It could be worse.

– If we knew you were so afraid of planes we wouldn't have offered the job.

– It's okay. I'm happy I can start working.

– Yeah, but you could be working in Dublin. You wouldn't have to take so many planes...

– It's okay. – I interrupt him. – Just let it go. – I smile again.

– Okay, I'm sorry.

I put my earphones. I don't know how long we were on the van, I'm tired, so I close my eyes to rest.

I open my eyes when the van stops. The way back to the hotel was short, that's when I realize that I'm resting on Josh's shoulder.

– Finally you wake up, Sleeping Beauty. – I look at him with my resting bitch face and he laughs. – What? You've been sleeping all the time.
