I was so excited to fly alone with Lauren. I knew it’d be so much fun. It was Saturday, and we were leaving Sunday night. My mom and I went shopping a few days ago for some new clothes to take. I had a giant suitcase that was completely full. I packed an outfit for every day, lots of swimsuits, pajamas, sweatpants and comfy clothes, light jackets and a lot more. I had a separate bag for all of my shoes. My parents and I went out to dinner Saturday evening since I wouldn’t see them for a week. Our flight left at 9am, so we had to the airport at like 7. I was beyond excited, I hadn’t seen Cameron in 3 weeks, and Nash in more than a month! On Sunday morning, I woke up at 6am and got ready. I put on khaki shorts and a nice blouse. I finished packing all of my stuff and my parents and I were out of my house with all of my bags by 6:40. The airport was only 15 minutes away. Lauren’s parents were driving her and we were meeting there. We got to the airport and my parents helped me carry all of my stuff inside. Shortly after, Lauren got there. We said goodbye to our parents, and headed towards security. The second we walked away from our parents, we started freaking out. “Lauren! We’re flying to California!” I said. I’ve always wanted to go. “I know! I’m finally seeing Nash again!” She said. Then she asked “Do you think… anything is gonna happen? Like I don’t think between Nash and I but what about you and Cameron?” I paused and then burst out laughing. “No, I don’t think so,” I finally said after laughing. Security went well and now we just waited at our gate. The only bag I had for carry on was a drawstring Vera Bradley bag with my book, and headphones and stuff like that. We found our gate, and decided to go find something to eat at a starbucks. By then it was 8:30 and they started seating us. We got on the plane, and Nash and Cameron had gotten us first class tickets. I really wondered where they got all of the money. We were sitting next to each other. I had the window seat and there was someone else next to Lauren who was in the middle. I texted Cameron right before we took off saying that we were about to leave. He answered “Fly safely. I can’t wait to see you!” By then we were about to take off. Lauren and I talked most of the time about how excited we were. Since it was 3 hours behind in California, we would be landing there at 12pm. The flight passed by quickly. The views of Los Angeles from the plane were beautiful. We got off the plane and were waiting at baggage claim when someone ran up behind me and wrapped their arms around me. I screamed and jumped at first but as I heard the laugh coming from behind me into my ear, I knew it was Cameron. I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck as we hugged tightly. When we pulled apart I saw Nash and my face lit up. “Nash!” I said as he smiled and laughed. Him and Lauren were walking together in front of Cameron and I. I rolled my suitcase and Cameron carried my other bag. When we stepped outside I was hit by the amazing California weather. There were palm trees everywhere. I could finally ride in Cameron’s actual car, because whenever he’d been in New York he’d had a rental. His car was actually pretty nice. We shoved Lauren and I’s bags in the trunk and climbed in and drove to their apartment.
When we got there, it was actually really nice. There was a living room and then behind it was a kitchen. Upstairs there were 3 bedrooms. Nash, Cameron’s and a guest room, where Lauren and I would be sleeping. We dropped all of our stuff off in there and went back downstairs to check out the balcony. The view was amazing; you could see so much of la. Since it was only like 1:30, we unpacked all of our stuff and chilled. We were sitting in their living room when Nash said “We should go to downtown Los Angeles today!” I smiled and said “that sounds fun!” We decided to go at like 4. Walking around seemed peaceful, like people that lived there were used to famous people living there so it wasn’t as big of a deal. We got stopped a few times but I didn’t mind. I loved meeting the fans and connecting with them. We ate dinner at some cool little restaurant and went into high-end fancy stores. We went back to their apartment and decided to watch tv and chill at like 8, but in my head it was still 11 back at home so I was really tired. Lauren went up to bed already because she said she didn’t feel good. Cameron and I sat on the couch, I was leaning against him and Nash sat in the chair. We were watching some comedy show but I fell asleep within like 10 minutes.
I woke back up when Cameron was carrying me up the stairs in his arms. “What time is it?” I asked, very confused. “It’s like 9,” He said. “Where are you taking me?” I said, half asleep. Cameron laughed and said “to bed silly!” I was more awake then so I stood up and Cameron hugged me and kissed my forehead. “Goodnight beautiful.” He said before leaving my room.
