It's Only You // t.h.

9 - REAL LIFE

~ Y/N ~ 

Well. 

You took a deep breath as you texted your friend, letting her know that you would call her if you needed anything. You looked around the airport, and saw that it was mostly empty. A few people walked around, but it was eerily quiet. 

"This is just great," you muttered to yourself. You looked at your bag, wondering the best way to make it a semi-comfortable pillow, when a deep voice startled you from behind. 

"Weren't you at the Brother's Trust event?" You jumped slightly and turned around to a guy that you didn't recognize. 

"Uh, yeah, I was," you replied. The man nodded and held out his hand. 

"I'm Josh," he said as you shook his hand. "I worked at the event, getting everything all set up," he added. You nodded as you remembered him being the one who helped you find your way at the event. "I thought I recognized you." He pointed at your shirt. "I really liked your shirt." 

"Oh." You smiled and looked down at your favorite shirt. "Thanks." 

"So, I'm guessing that your flight was delayed too?" 

"Yeah. Something with the weather." Josh nodded. 

"There's supposed to be a really bad storm," he said. "I heard that all flights for the next couple of days are canceled." Your eyes widened. 

"Next couple of days?" you repeated. Josh nodded. 

"Yup." You slumped in your seat. 

"Crap." Josh chuckled. 

"I'm guessing that you don't have a place to stay?" You shook your head. 

"Nope." 

"Well, lucky for you, the Brother's Trust has you covered." You looked up at him, your eyebrow raised. 

"What do you mean?" 

"We've been watching the weather," he explained. "There are a couple of others like you who are stuck here with no hotels, because they're all full. They've got a place set up just for you guys, free of charge, until the storm blows over and the flights start back up again." You practically jumped out of your seat. 

"You're not joking, are you?" you asked. Josh laughed. 

"No, I'm not." You breathed a sigh of relief. "Come on, I'll take you there." You stood up and grabbed your bag, following Josh through the airport and out the exit. He led you to a large van with the Brother's Trust logo and opened the back, where you saw several other large bags. 

"Did you find her?" a feminine voice asked. 

"Yep," Josh replied. You looked in the van and saw the silhouette of four other people sitting down. After putting your bag in the back, you joined them in the front of the van. 

"I'm Victoria," a girl with fiery red hair said as you sat beside her. She smiled brightly at you. "I'm the one that basically passed out when I met Tom." You laughed, remembering the whole thing. 

"Yeah, I remember." She beamed at you. 

"Isn't this exciting? I'm pretty sure we're going to meet Tom again." You raised your eyebrow. 

"Really?" She nodded excitedly. 

"You will," Josh said from the front seat. "He feels really bad that the weather is causing you all this trouble, especially because you were coming out to his event." 

"He can't control the weather," a deep voice said from behind you. You turned around to see who spoke. "I'm Jason," he said. 

"Y/N," you answered. 

"That's true," Josh said. "But that's just the type of guy Tom is. He doesn't want you to be forced to sleep at the airport because the planes are grounded," he added, nodding in your direction. "Besides, it's not like he can get home right now. He's stuck, too." 

"So. . . he's going to be with us the whole time?" Victoria asked. You looked to Josh expectantly, waiting for his answer. 

"Yes."
