"Mum!!!" I yelled so loud that the whole neighbourhood could hear.
"Where is all my makeup?" I asked while packing.

We were going to go to LA to see my older brother Nick after two whole years. I really miss him and I am very nervous to see him because he might think I've changed.

I packed all my makeup and my clothes and I was ready to go. I helped my mum finish packing and made sure my sister, Andrea, was ready too.

We were going to visit because I really wanted to move to Los Angles and continue my
modelling career as it has a lot more opportunity. Nick suggested that we stayed with him because we haven't seen him in a while and it would be a better option.

I couldn't wait to meet the rest of the band as I heard that they are super chill. I would be great friends with some of them. I've actually talked to his friend Zion a few times and he is great!

We all finished packing, my dad called an Uber, we all waited outside after locking the house and I called my best friend, Emily to say goodbye because I won't be seeing her for a month.

30 minutes later

The Uber finally decided to come so we put our bags in the back and was ready to go to the airport. I was super nervous and my hands were shaking.

1 hour later

The drive the the airport took an hour as usual because we live so far away but we were used to it. We went inside and got checked in and waited for the plane to arrive.

2 hours later....

After waiting for two hours we went inside the plane.

"Off to LA!" I said excitedly to my sister who was probably as nervous as I was. Andrea was about 4 years older than me and she missed Nick like crazy even though she is closer to my eldest brother Christian, who is totally different to me. Christian wasn't coming with us to LA because he is happily married with his wife Sunny.

When they Arrived

We arrived around 6 hours later and I never felt so nervous and excited. I was planning this whole reunion for months now so I wanted it to be perfect.

"Welcome to LAX international airport" the pilot said through the speaker when we landed.

I've never felt so alive and energetic. I jumped and skipped around the whole place like a little kid.

If it all goes well, I'll be living here, in the place where they all call "La La Land".

I love life.
