Struggles (Sequel to Adopted by Fifth Harmony)

Home

==Sadie's POV==

"Thank you," I say, hugging Tiffany and Emily. "For everything."

"You're very welcome. And if you ever need help, we're here," Emily says, kissing my forehead. The agency car honks and I grab my backpack and sprint to the door. I stop and wave to my new friends. I smile and open the door quickly, putting on my seatbelt.

"HOMEWARD BOUND!" I yell. The driver laughs and starts up the car.

"We gotta get you to the airport in exactly one hour so you can make your flight to Texas, where your family is," Shannon, the woman escorting me home informs me.

"Great with me," I say, bouncing in my seat. All I want to do is hug my mommy and family and tell them how much I love them and never let go.

"Settle down. You're going to bounce out the window," the driver, Matthew, laughs. I giggle and put in my earbuds. I can't wait. Home.

"Wake up, we're here," Shannon says, shaking me awake. I don't remember falling asleep. I smile and grab my backpack.

"Thanks, Matthew! You rock!" I tell Matt.

"Welcome, kiddo. Go get your family," he says, giving me a fist bump. I laugh and Shannon takes my hand, leading me inside the airport. We move to the bag check in and get through surprisingly fast. Shannon takes me to the flight gate, 24, and we sit down. I look around and see a young girl noticed me. She walks over to me shyly.

"Hi, I'm Michael, and I'm a really big fan of your's," Michael says.

"Hi, Michael! It's nice to meet you!" I say, giving her a hug. "Would you like a picture?" I ask. She nods and holds the phone up for a selfie. I do Dinah's signature duck face and peace sign.

"Hey, um, I'm really sorry you got separated from the girls," Michael says.

"It was really bad, but between you and me, I'm trying to surprise Ally. I'm going back home," I say, smiling.

"No way!" Michael yells, coming completely out of her shell. People stare at us and we laugh. "I'm so happy for you!" She says.

"Thank you so much. You are so amazing and beautiful. Never forget that," I say, giving her one last hug, since her mother was beckoning her to go.

"Thank you," she says, running back to her mom. I smile and sit back down. Shannon comes back with some food and we eat it quickly since the flight will leave in a few minutes.

"Are you glad to go home?" Shannon asks, taking a bite out of her breakfast burrito.

I stop slurping my chocolate milk and say, "I'm more than glad. I'm ecstatic."

"Flight 25 now boarding," the overhead speakers say. We wait until they call third class up and we get our plane tickets checked. We walk through the tunnel and as soon as I step on the plane, my nerves spark up. We make our way to our seats and I immediately pull out Toby and bite my fingernails, a habit I picked up since I was away from the girls. I plug in my earphones and try to get comfy as the rest of the people board onto the plane.

"The plane is now ready for take off. Please buckle your seat belts as the flight attendant comes by," the speakers say. I buckle up and the plane starts to move. I squeeze Toby tight and close my eyes and pray until we are in the sky. I open my eyes and look out the window, viewing the streets and vague movement of the cars as we ascend into the air. I smile as I realize that in only a mere two hours I will see my family again. I lean my head against the plane window and drift off to Fantasy by Alina Baraz.
