The Only Reason || Calum Hood

Chapter 16

"Hurry up Stella!" We all practically scream at her.

"We'll be late!" Beth screams louder, laughing.

"I'm coming!" She screams back, cursing at us. We just laugh and grab all of our bags.

"I can't believe we're going around Australia and New Zealand!" Beth says, getting excited.

"Yea, it'll be so nice. I have family in New Zealand. And I-" Rachel trails of, blushing.

"You what?" Beth asks, giving Rachel the look.

"I was thinking aloud." She quickly says and we both roll our eyes.

"That's all it was, aye." I wink and she glares at me.

"You guys are annoying."

"But you love us for it."

"Yea." She giggles and we all laugh.

"Let's go to the airport!" Beth yells, walking out of the house.

"Someone's excited." Anny, Stella's mum, mutters behind us. We all laugh again, for the hundredth time that day and walk to the car.

"Dibs front." Stella says, quickly getting in.

The rest of us put our heavy bags in the boot and pile into the car.

"I'm squished." I whine and Beth and Rachel look at me.

"You're not in the middle!" Beth whines back and Rachel laughs.

"You guys are such kids."

"Bum." I say and she laughs.

"Shut up." She mutters and takes out her phone.

"Are the boys meeting us there?" Stella asks and I nod.

"Yea, Cal texted me this morning."

"They're already there. They're at Starbucks." Rachel says, putting her phone away.

"And they call us typical teenage girls." Stella mutters, making the car fill up in laughter, again.

The drive was quick and we where all thankful for that, Anny started to lecture us about how dangerous this is and that we have to be super careful.

Especially around the boys.

We piled out of the car, again and grabbed all of our stuff. We waved goodbye to a crying Anny and made our way to Starbucks.

"Where are they?" I wonder out loud and Beth pokes me, pointing to a blonde quiff poking out from one of the booths.

I swear, Luke is the easiest person to find.

We walk up to them and scare them.

Ashton screams like a girl, making everyone laugh, and everyone else glares at us.

"Oh, hey babe." He says and hugs her.

I walk over to Calum and hug him.

"Hey Calum!" I say and he rests his chin on top of my head.

"Hey, how are you?" He asks and we sit down with the others.

"Excited!" I say, jumping up and down like a five year old.

"It's going to be so much fun."

"It is, especially with you." He says and kisses me. A loud cough then interrupts us.

"Are the two love birds ready?" Michael asks and I glare at him.

"Ass." I mutter and get up, holding on Cal's hand.

"I make a great ass thank you very much." Michael sasses back and I roll my eyes and he smirks. "You know it."

"You're a loser Mike." I say and slaps his ass and walks to collect our coffees.

We all finish our drinks and start looking around, waiting for our flight to be called.

"We are we going first?" Beth asks.

"Auckland. We have about a day till the show, which is tomorrow." Luke explains and we nod.

"I'm so excited!" I say and jump up and down, acting like a 5 year old.

"Could all passengers flying to Auckland and ten o'clock please start boarding at gate 8." The intercom lady says and we all rush to the gate, racing each other to be first on.

**

The flight wasn't too long, which was good because Calum ended up snoring on my shoulder.

It was cute but annoying.

We all get of off the plane and collect our luggage and gather around.

"One!" Ashton shouts.

"Two!" I shout.

"Three!" Luke shouts and we all put our hands in the middle and scream out different things.

"Potatoes!"

"Penis!"

"Weeeww!"

"I like socks!" We all end up laughing and stop to get our breath back.

"Ok, who's ready to partay?" Ashton shouts, earning us more glares and stares.

We all cheer and walk out of the airport.

With me thinking that we're gonna have to get used to Ashton saying partay.

But life can always be a party.
