Elia pov
It's the day I'm supposed to leave but I really don't want to. Zach is driving me to the airport and we're sitting listening to my 80s playlist. When we get there he helps me with my luggage and he walks me to security (idk how airports work lol) we stand there hugging for like 5372826336 hours before I have to get going.

"Zach I have to go." I say choking back tears

"I know I know. Be safe okay? I love you" he says

It takes me a minute to realize what he just said and I smile. " I love you too."

"Bye" he waves to me as I crutch through security

I wave and blow him a kiss. My flight is called soon after and I spend the entire thing cry my eyes out onto the shoulder of a girl next to me. She looked to be about 20. "Im sorry man I'm just gonna miss him so much." I sob

"Its ok. What's your name?" She asks

"Im elia. What's yours?" I say as I try to stop crying

"Im Christina. I'm on a layover flight to New York." She says

"That's funny, my boyfriend's Bandmate has a girlfriend named Christina. I don't know her but I stole some of her tampons" I say wiping tears away

"My boyfriend's Bandmate who's name is Zach has a girlfriend named Elia. How interesting. Is this band called Why Don't We?" She aksd (haha get it cuz that's how Christina says asked) (I am funny fight me)

"Yeah. Are you mad I stole your tampons? Don't worry I didn't mess with your dildo." I laugh

"What dildo?" She asked genuinly confused

"Oh shit. That's a talk you and Corbyn should have" I say

"Oh yes, we will" she said laughing.

For the rest of the flight we were talking about our lives and familys and dogs.

"So how long have you known Zach?" She asks

"My friends have actually liked the band for a long time and I had no clue who they were. About a month ago I texted him thinking it was my brother for some toilet paper. Pretty interesting story" I say

"That's fun. I wish I had a better story for how I met Corbyn. We just liked eachother online then we started dating." She says

"How do you do it? Long distance. I've been away from zach for like 2 hours and I'm already dead inside." I start to cry again.

"I think it's easier for us because we started dating online and long distance so it's not as hard as if we started dating in real life then I just had to up and leave back to New York." She explains

"I wish I could just live in LA. My dumb YouTube brother does but my mom won't let me. It sucks in Chicago." I say

"It'll get better. What grade are you in?" She asks

"11th. I want to drop out but I know I can't. I want to be a model but my mom doesn't think it's good for me. She still can barely accept David's vlogs." I rant

"David dobrik?" She asks surprised

I nod.

"Wow. How iconic I'm talking to David Dobriks little sister" she says

I laugh and say "try being her"

With that the plane lands. Me and Christina say our goodbyes and go our separate ways.

I get an uber and go home. I walk in the door and go immediately to my room. I just sit and cry before I fall asleep.
