"Braden!" I hear Allison call from the kitchen. "What?" I yell back already getting up from my cozy bed and walking out of my bedroom. "Are you ready?" She asks as I make my way down the hallway and into the kitchen. "Ready for what?" I ask, confused as I take a seat at the table.

"I mean, are you ready for our meeting with the relator today?" She says setting a bagel, some cream cheese and grapes in front of me. This was also known as my favorite and only breakfast I've ever eaten.

I groan in frustration banging my head down on the table. "I dont wanna move." I whine like a child, my head still in the table. "So you want to stay in this little old apartment forever?" She asks taking a seat herself with some eggs and bacon.

"No. That's not what I meant. I'm just tired of living in this little bitty town. I've been here all my life and haven't ever gone as far as Oklahoma. I just want to leave Collinsville nothing exciting ever happens here." I say afterwards taking a bite of my bagel with cream cheese.

"Well then what do you suggest?" She crosses her arms obviously not expected an actual answer but I think of one quickly.

I look at her with a sly smile and before the words can even leave my lips she's already shaking her head. "No, Braden."

"Oh come on Allison, we've always talked about it." I beg. "Yeah but I never thought you were serious.

"Well I was."

"Sorry Braden but, no if you want to move to L.A then you can go by yourself im staying here." She says defiantly

"Allison you know as well as I do that you want to go to L.A to your just scared." I say taking another bite of my bagel. Her mouth drops open at my words she's looks shocked.

"I am not scared!" She says crossing her arms. Even though she's scared of a lot of things she tries to play it off as if she doesn't. "Good, so we'll book the next possible flight to L.A." I state with a smirk getting up and leaving for my room.

*The next morning*

"Braden what of we miss our flight then what will we do!?" I ignore her trying to focus on getting to the right place.

We already went through security and all of that stuff we are now trying to find the right thingy where we board the plane.

Allison caused us to be running late this morning because she didn't wake me up early enough. Which is her job every day that we have something important.

"Braden if we miss our flight-"

I stop walking and turn around causing her to bump into me and fall to the ground. "Allison. If you do not shut. Up. Then we will miss our flight," I say looking down at her. "So please keep your mouth shut. And let me concentrate. Please!" I know I was rude but sometimes all her worrying and trying to be a perfectionist drives me insane.

I help her up then turn around to start again finding the little thing that lets you enter.

We find it only a few minutes later and hand the lady our tickets then we board the plane. I take a seat by the window and Allison sits next to me. This is Allison's first time on an airplane so she's like freaking out while I'm just sitting here. I've been on a plane many times to go visit my dad since him and my mom separated when I was 7 he has move all over the country he now lives in Arkansas so in my recent visits I just drove myself.

The flight soon takes off and Allison clings to me for dear life but, after a little while she lets go and I am able to plugin my ear buds to take a nap.
