Emily Pov

"Emily! Wake up, we are going to miss the flight!" I hear my dad scream making me jump out of bed. I run around my room trying to get all of my stuff together. I throw on a tee shirt and some jean shorts. I throw my hair in a messy bun, and stuff my phone charger and hair brush in my carry on bag. I throw it over my shoulder and pull my other bag down the stairs and by the door. "What took you so long?" My dad asks coming from the kitchen.

"I'm a girl, I always take long." I tell him and press the elevator button multiple times. It finally opens and I throw my bags and myself in. "See you down there!" I say and ride the elevator down. It opens once again and I pull everything out to his car. I put them in the car and get in. I sigh as I sit down and pull out my phone. 6:00. How does he wake up so early with ease? I mean I can if I try, but that's the thing. Why would I want to wake up early? I am a teenager so I like my sleep, but whatever. McKenzie comes down and puts her stuff in the back. She sits in the middle and stares at me. "What?"

"I don't know." She turns and looks out the windshield. "You have everything?"

"Yup." I say.

"Everything? Ear buds? Laptop?" I groan and run back inside. I go back up and grab my things. I run back to the elevator only to meet my dad there with his bags.

"You always forget something." he tells me.

"Yeah, I realized." We head downstairs together and run to the car. I hop in as he throws everything in the back. He drives to the airport and I shove my laptop and earphones into my carry on and throw it over my shoulder. I pull my suitcase out, and I have to drag it through the airport because it is so heavy. What did Kelsey put in here? We get through check in and security and we sit down at out gate. "How much time do we have until boarding?" I ask. My dad looks at his watch.

"About a half an hour." He tells me and I stand up.

"I'm going to find some food. Anyone want anything?"

"I'll have a chocolate chip muffin and chocolate milk." McKenzie tells me. My dad hands me $10 to get everything and he tells me to get whatever I'm getting for him. I walk away and go to Dunkin Donuts. I order Mackenzie's and then I get 2 blueberry muffins and 2 iced coffees. I pay and get my food and when I turn around I see 'Elizabeth' and Ryder. "Hey Elizabeth. Funny seeing you here." I say walking up to her.

"Oh, hey, Emily. It is funny seeing you here, actually. Where are you headed?"

"Chicago, what about you?"

"Same."

"Well, I owe you a coffee still." I tell her.

"Oh no, please its fine!"

"Well, I owe you something." She thinks for a second.

"How about you babysit Ryder one day." She says with a smile.

"I'd love to!" I crouch down by Ryder. "Hey, buddy." I ruffle his hair and he giggles. "Well, maybe I'll see you in Chicago, bye." I walk off not waiting for a response. That is really creepy talking to your mom and pretending that its someone else because she is supposed to be dead. I go back to my dad and McKenzie and give them there food and drinks. "So, guess who I saw in line." I say looking at my dad.

"Who?"

"Elizabeth and Ryder. They are going to Chicago also." I say and sip from my coffee. My dad just stares at me in disbelief. "Yup, and I'm babysitting Ryder one day." He tries finding what to say, but can't. instead he just looks ahead and eats his muffin.  After a couple minutes I'm fine with my muffin and waiting for our section to be called to board.
