Arabella Blossom ❥ Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes

Chapter 6

"You gotta be fucking kidding me....." Alex says holding his head in his hands.

I wasn't really close to Arielle but I could see that she was holding plane tickets.

"Stay right here boys, i'll be back." 

I walked past her and read her ticket. She was going to San Francisco, just like us. Same fucking plane... 4 rows behind us?!?!?!?!??!!??! I ran back to the boys, telling them what happened.

"Are you fucking serious?!?!?!?!" Nick says, almost shouting. Just then, Jamie and Katie get back.

"What's going on?" They ask.

"Arielle is here. Same fucking plane. Same fucking destination."

"Are you kidding me! That's bullshit!" Katie exclaims. We hear a booming voice through the speakers, and we start to get up.

"All passengers boarding plane MA213 Gate 19 at 12:30pm please go to your gate, thank you."

We push onto the plane, shoving our suitcases in the overhead compartment and keeping little bags for the trip. Alex and I are next to eachother along with an empty seat next to Alex. God I hope it's not her. I sat next to the window, gazing out at the runway and the airport. I half stood up and peeped if there was any sight of Arielle, I saw her. And she was coming in the direction of our seats. Just then, Matt swiftly sat down next to Alex and put a blanket over the two boys, Arielle walked straight past.

"Fuckin' well done mate!" I say, high 5'ing Matt.

"Please fasten your seatbelts as we will be taking off very shortly. This is a 14 hour flight so please watch the safety video, thank you for flying with American Airlines."

"You ready babe?" Alex says

"Let's do this." I say, making my best badass face while the boys laugh. 

Let me explain my relationship with Alex a bit more. We went to the same middle school but weren't really friends because he thought girls were gross. I hung out with my own friends and said hello to Matt every now and then. We went to the same high school too, and we became better friends there, he was studying music as well as me. We would go to eachothers houses every now and then to study. It all changed when he did a gig and moved away, I was going to miss my best friend. Matt and I reunited when I met him 3 years ago, and for Alex, I only saw him once in the past 8 years. So we were like familiar strangers. When I saw him after so long, we didn't talk a lot because I guess he was busy and had famous stuff to do, so I drifted away from him and I guess he did too. I cried myself to sleep for a whole week because I missed our fun times. 

I jolted up as there was turbulence. I hated it. We had some as we took off also. I decided to text my mum, I was so excited to see her, my dad and my little sister. Her name is Isabelle, she's only 6 but I love her so much, I didn't have siblings before her.

Mum: Hey honey! Where r u?

Arabella: Just left Sheffield, be there in about 14 hours, stay awake for us!

Mum: I will honey, Isabelle is going to be asleep by then, dinner will be ready for everyone! 

Arabella: Thank you so much mum, do you mind if Alex, Matt, Nick and I stay in the spare bedrooms? Katie and Jamie already have a hotel.

Mum: Sure love! I'll get your beds ready so you can sleep right after dinner if you're really tired. I'm excited to see Alex! Dad and Isabelle miss you so much!
