Mid Way Through

Chapter Two

"Mynia! You gotta get up hun, you can sleep on the jet," Said a familiar voice. I groaned and rolled over to lay on my back. My headache was gone, and i no longer felt like shit. I picked up my phone to check the time. It's eight o'nine. Below the time was a reminder set on my phone. "PUT FINN'S NUMBER IN YOUR PHONE" I rubbed my eyes to make sure i wasn't hallucinating. But i wasn't. It was real. What happened last night, was real. I quickly sat up and looked at Lionel, "What happened last night!"

"You and Finn ran off some where and did dirty stuff, " said Eric. Lana hit him upside his head, "Shut up"

Lionel laughed, "Finn helped carry your sleepy butt back to the bus. Why didn't you tell us you weren't feeling well?" He carried me back? I put my hands over my face in embarrassment and groaned. "Why couldn't I just stay awake," I said to myself.

Lionel patted me on the back, "He was a big help. You need to take care of yourself Mynia. He was worried and made sure you were safe. Oh!" Lionel reached in his back pocket and took out a piece of notebook paper, "He wanted me to give you this. He said you guys talked about some things."

I took the piece of paper and opened it. "I HAD FUN TALKING TO YOU. WE SHOULD HANG OUT SOMETIME. HMU :)" His number was listed under the message. I smiled a bit at the message. Who is this guy? He really helped me out like that. "Anyways, you need to clean yourself up before we get back on the jet home, okay. You can relax soon, i promise," said Lionel and he stood up to go talk to the driver. I really can't believe he carried me back to the bus. I blushed and covered my face at the thought.

We arrived in Utah at one in the afternoon. I was so tired and i really just wanted to see my family again. After parting ways with the band and Lionel, i drove to my house. When i pulled up, a welcoming sign was hung at the front of the door. It put a huge grin over my face. I felt bad that i couldn't come back home to look more appealing. Instead i was in sweatpants, a dark green Champions hoodie, Birkenstock's, and my hair in a weird looking bun. I looked exhausted too. I took my suitcases out of the trunk of my car and went to go inside the house. When I opened the door, it smelled like fresh sweet potato and pumpkin. It was November so Thanksgiving was close. 

"My baby is home," Screamed my mother from the kitchen. My dog Pluto ran to me, and i ran to him in an equal amount of excitement. He licked, and attacked me with love. "How's my boy, huh! How are you," I said to Pluto. My mother and father scurried to greet me, "We've miss you so much," Said my dad. They both gave me a big hug. I missed this. The smell of home and the warmth, the home-like love that is very rare, and a gift to receive. "I missed you guys too," I responded. 

"You look so tired, are you hungry," asked my mother.

"Yes mama, i'm starving!"

"You'll eat soon, how about you unpack and get comfortable in your room, okay?"

"Okay," I obeyed and took my suitcases upstairs. Pluto followed and jumped on my bed with me. Oh how i missed this bed. After starring at my ceiling, I fell asleep. After rolling over a few times, my feet got cold and i woke up from a much needed, comfortable nap. Pluto snored right next to me. I rolled over on my side and slid my hands into the pockets of my hoodie. I felt the piece of notebook paper from Finn in my hand. Finn! I took it out of my pocket faster than intended, i realized and told myself to calm down. I reread the message he left me and took out my phone. Should I text him or call him? Should I do it now? He might be busy. I wonder what he's doing. My thoughts began to drift. After a while i convinced myself to focus. I decided to text him instead. 

"HEY"

It didn't take him long to reply back. He must be on the plane. "HEY THIS WHO I THINK IT IS"

"IF ITS THE GIRL YOU HAD TO CARRY OUT OF YOUR CONDO LAST NIGHT THEN YES, YES IT IS."

"LOL, I WAS AFRAID YOU WEREN'T GONNA REMEMBER."

"OF COURSE I DID! I FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR GIVING YOU SO MUCH TROUBLE"

"YOU DIDN'T, IT'S FINE. I OFFERED. I ENJOYED IT ANYWAY."

"THNK YOU SO MUCH BTW. YOUR VERY SWEET."

"NAAH IT'S OKAY. IT ALLOWED ME TO MAKE A NEW FRIEND."

":) GOOD TO KNOW IM A FRIEND. SO ARE YOU STILL IN CALI OR..."

"NOPE, I JUST LANDED IN CANADA, HBU?"

"LANDED ABOUT 5 HOURS AGO IN UTAH. FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK HOME." 

"THATS GOOD. I HOPE YOU GOT SOME REST."

"I DID, I FEEL SOOOO MUCH BETTER NOW."

"GOOD! YOU MUST'VE BEEN SO WORN OUT."

"YEAH, BUT IM OKAY NOW."

"SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR THE NEXT MONTH OR SO."

"NOTHING REALLY. JUST WAITING UNTIL I GET CALLED FOR ANOTHER INTERVIEW. YOUR GONNA BE WORKING ON GETTING READY FOR TOUR RIGHT?"

"YEAH. IF WE COME ACROSS TO BE IN THE SAME TOWN, WE SHOULD HANGOUT SOMETIME."

My stomach started to growl and i remembered my mother was cooking. My mouth watered at the thought. 

"FOR SURE. I HAVE TO GO THOUGH. STOMACH WANTS TO BE FED. BUT ILL TALK TO YOU LATER"

"K, SEE YA "

"BAI"
