Be My Kryptonite.

Leaving It All Behind

Nicole's POV

"I can't believe we're actually doing this" I said to Ava as we were walking through JFK airport. "This is going to be the best time of our lives!!" 

Ava and I have been best friends since we were little kids, we knew everything there was to know about each other. We trusted each other with our lives. We haven't gotten in one fight our whole friendship, we never let anything get in between us.  About two years ago we became even closer when we discovered the band One Direction. People think we are crazy because of how obsessed we are. But in our defense we aren't obsessed, we are dedicated and anyways how could you not fall in love with them! They were perfect! 

We have both always wanted to move to London once we graduated high school and now we are actually doing it. 

"I know,  I can't wait to get there already" Ava was saying as we were going through security. "But to make this dream really come true would to maybe, I don't know, bump into One Direction." I laughed but knew that the chances of that were rare. But that would be amazing, meeting One Direction. Well that and marrying Harry. Since the first time I saw/heard them, Harry was always by favorite. I don't know what it is but I have a feeling I will never get over him. Between his gorgeous green eyes and his amazing personality, I know marrying him was way too good to be true. 

"Just think about, the next time we walk off this plane, we will be in LONDON!!!!" I said but Ava was already running ahead of me trying to find our seats.  "They're right here" Ava was screaming, "Do you care if I take the aisle?" she lowered her voice as I got closer. I shook me head and sat down. 

I liked being able to look out the window, it put me deep in thought. I  just sat there, completely zoned out, just thinking. Thinking about my family and friends and just everything and everyone I was leaving behind. Even though I've always wanted to do this, it's scary to think that at only 18, I'm moving to another country! "Miss, please fasten your seat belt, we are about to take off." The flight attendant was saying, I guess I got so lost in thought I didn't even realize we were already on the runway.

"I hate plane rides so much, I think i'm going to get sick!" Ava was moaning. "You'll be fine, just think that when we get off we will be in London, starting fresh." I tried to be as helpful as I can, knowing how sick she gets on planes but I was still so deep in thought I doubt it helped.

About 15 minutes after takeoff the Captain came on letting us know that we are now allowed to use electronic devices and that snacks and drinks will be brought around shortly. "I'm going to try and sleep for a little, I'm really tired. Did you take anything for motion sickness?" "Yeah, I took it about 20 minutes ago, it's starting to work and I'm going to try to sleep too" Ava replied. I put on my music and drifted away. 

"Everyone please fasten your seat belts, we will be starting to land in aprox. 5 minutes. The local time here is 9:02 a.m and the forecast is 68° and overcast. Thank you for flying American Airlines." The Captain's announcement made me jump up. I looked over and Ava was laughing at me as she was getting her things together. "Did I really sleep through the whole plane ride?" "Yeah, I woke up about an hour ago, the medicine wore off but I feel fine now."

"Oh, well then that's good." I said as I heard the wheels hit the ground.
