A/N: Watch the video I attached. Wherever it is. Idk I ususally read on mobile which means it will be above. If you're on a computer...then...idek

Guys I literally thought of making the last chapter a dream five minutes before I posted it. I was thinking hmm how can I be painfully cliché and drive my lovely readers insane? I hope you liked that chapter though. It was the first thing I wrote to go with the story. I just didn't like where it drove things now, but I wanted to keep it and obviously had to because it's the prologue lol That and it's my favorite. okay sorry long note...

This chapter is a filler lol oops.

Enjoy!

"RILEY I HOPE YOU'RE PACKED YOUR FLIGHT LEAVES IN FOUR HOURS" my mom's voice rang out.

I sat up in my bed, breathing heavily. What the hell? How could I have a dream like that about him? About him and I almost...doing it. That doesn't mean anything right? I couldn't like have feelings for him. I really couldn't like it's impossible. He already said he doesn't like me like that.

My mom knocked twice on my door before entering. "Riley? You awake?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna get in the shower and make sure I have everything in my bag" i said, slowly rolling out of bed.

"you okay sweetheart?" she asked

I physically shook my head, which was also my way to mentally shake off the dream I just had. There was no point in thinking that way. "yeah" i sighed "I'm just nervous about flying that's all"

After going through security and various panic attacks of mine, we made it onto the plane. Michael helped me through the attacks with ease, softly reminding me to breathe. He had Luke run and grab me water, which I told them I didn't need, but both he and Carly insisted I needed it anyway.

Michael let me have the window seat, Carly and Luke were cuddled behind us. I chose not to look for fear I would see them casually trying to have sex. Calum and Ashton were in front of us. Ashton hasn't said anything to me. He's avoided me completely. I couldn't help but fear I was hurting the band by being around. By being friends with Michael. Cearly Ashton had some feelings he needed to figure out.

Ladies and Gentlemen please make sure you are seated, wearing seatbelts and all electronics are turned off. We are ready for take off. (A/N: I've never been on a plane soooo idk how it works)

My eyes met Michael's and he took my hand in his. The warmth between us comforted me. "You're gonna be fine" he said in a soothing voice.

I nodded and closed my eyes. His thumb rubbed circles on my hand and it momentairly took me back to the dream. The feeling of his hands all over my body. His beautiful lips placing soft kisses up and down my neck. Ugh. Snap out of it Riley. I can't be thinking like this. Especially when he is sat right next to me.

We were finally in the air and flying safely when I let go of his hand. There were marks from where my nails dug in. "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't-"

He smiled. "No worries. The first time I flew I almost tore Daniel apart."

"Daniel?" i asked "Who is that?"

He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small stuffed lion. "This is Daniel. My Mum gave him to me when I was little. I've kept him ever since. He goes everywhere with me."

It was sweet, to see him clutch onto something from his life. To see he really does care about things. Not that he doesn't care. It is just harder to see that he does when he acts like a guy with no feelings half of the time. If I wasn't with him during valunrable moments I would probably think he was heartless.
