Change our Plight (adopted by BVB)

Chapter 4

I fall asleep on the flight for about two hours, but I was up with seven hours left. I sigh and look at the other passengers on the plane. To my left I see Andy, who is squarely asleep. Behind me there is a boy I vaguely recognise. I can't quite place who he his though! In front of me there is CC, next to him is Ashley, they are both a bit tipsy from the mimi bottles of vodka they serve you on long haul flights. Over on the other Isle Jake and Jinxx are sharing headphones, I'm assuming that they're listening to Jinxx's playlist as Jake continually complains about what comes on. Classical. Five seats away from them sits an elderly couple, they look at Jake and Jinxx, shooting them with looks of disapproval.

Andy stirs a little and slowly wakes up. "Hey Ivory."

"Hey Andy. Sleep well?" I smile. "Hey, so uh, you see that boy back there?"

"Yeah? What about him?" He asks, turning around.

"Do you know who he is? Like I recognise him."

"Yeah, that's Chandler Riggs, Carl from the walking dead."

"Oh my god! I love that show!"

"Yeah everyone does dipshit!" I shoot Andy an almost angry glare. "It's no batman though."

"It doesn't have to be!" I laugh. "I wanna go speak to him!"

"Go then!"

"I can't, I'll make a tit out of myself!"

"Well, I met him a few times how about I introduce ya's and it'll be great!"

"Make me seem cool!" I say as he leaves his seat to speak to Chandler.

I watch as they talk from over my seat. Chandler looks over and I cower behind my chair again. Fuck what am I doing with my life!?!?!? This is my one chance to make a first impression on someone that I've wanted to meet since 2010. So many feels. Oh shit. I look back over my chair and Chandler is gone, Andy is walking up towards the bathroom.

"Ivory?" He says from beside me. I turn to see Chandler himself, smiling down at me.

"Hey." I say, instantly star struck.

"Hey, I'm Chandler."

"I'm Ivory." Still star struck.

"Yeah... I know."

"Oh right." I say. Fuck I'm such a tit! "I love the show, it's like my favourite thing ever."

"Thanks that means a lot." He grins. "So how long have you been watching for?"

"Since it first started, never missed an episode!" I sound like a fan girl. It's probably cuz I am... but he can't know that.

"That's cool, mind if I sit with you?"

"Not at all." He sits down next to me.

"What were you listening to?" He asks.

"Uh, 'Hold on 'til may' by PTV."

"Good song. So, how come you came with the BVB boys?"

"Long story short, uh, they're my parents. Well they are now, at least." I sigh. "They adopted me like this morning, I came from an home for girls which accepts boys too."

"That's really stupid."

"I know! Who's marvellous idea was that!?"
