The Boy with the Vans

Chapter 17

All I could dream about was Florida.

I slowly open my eyes and smell the sweet aroma of pancakes.

I stretch whilst yawning and roll out of bed, strolling downstairs.

(Keep in mind they're at Taylor's place for the past few days)

I peek around the corner to see Aaron flipping pancakes, humming to himself.

I smile to myself before walking over quietly and putting my arms around his waist.

He tightens for a second before realizing its me.

"How did you sleep beautiful?"

"Soundly, I guess."

I let the sizzling of the pancakes fill the gap between our communication.

"I can't believe the guys are gone," Aaron says shutting off the stove.

"I can't believe Patrick is gone."

"Just think, at dinner tonight you'll see your dad and you will make him feel 20x better than he is right now."

"Yeah, I guess."

I sigh being cut off as Taylor and Dillon walk in grabbing plates.

***

After breakfast I roll my suitcase and Aaron's down the stairs as the guys wait for me by the door.

"So this is it," Taylor sighed.

"I believe so, I'll see you guys soon anyways," I smile to him while reaching over and giving him a long hug.

"Twitter is always a good way to keep in touch," Aaron grinned.

"Keep us up to date, okay?" Taylor smiled.

"Will do." Aaron and I grab our suitcases and started heading to the taxi.

"Iris, one more thing," Taylor ran after us and threw me his newest shirt from his merch.

"Aw, Tay," I smiled reaching for it and carrying it with me to the trunk.

***

The car ride to the airport consisted of me humming Fall Out Boy.

And some red lights.

Finally we were at LAX and we grabbed our luggage, checked our flight time, grabbed some snacks, and sat down.

I watched as Aaron set down 3 bottles of chocolate milk.

"Guessing you're not lactose intolerant," I tease him as he rips off the wrapper.

"Very funny."

I tore open a pack of gummies and sighed.

***

Before we knew it we were on the plane to home.

Florida, I have such great memories as kids.

( THROWBACK )

Patrick : Smell it!

Me: Ewwwwww, why?

Patrick : because I said so fartface!

Me : I'm gonna tell mom!

Patrick : you're such a tattle tale.

( present day )

Have you ever had that feeling?

Where you can't let someone go?

I have too.

Aaron snaps me out of my mind when I notice we're taking off.

Listening to the heavy jet of the plane reminds me of traveling to all the different cities with the guys.

Memories can't last too long.

Sigh.

Dad, here I come.

A/N:

Sorry guys this was sort of a filler and I've been so busy lately!

Finally finished volleyball today but I start basketball next week ugh.

If I don't update pray 4 me Bc I'm probably breathing heavily on the sidelines as my teammates run by 😂

Anyways, AARIS IS LOVE AARIS IS LIFE.
