Emma's PoV

To say I spent the whole plane ride biting my nails, tapping my chair and drinking so much water that saying I'd made the loo my home would be an understatement.

"Hey Emma, don't overthink and don't worry alright" I hear the calming words of my cousin next to me.

Violet has the same golden brown hair as me and her eyes are green like mine. Only her eyes are bright and soft all at once like the green of spring. Whereas my eyes have golden specks that has its own identity in the sea of green.
And to top it all we are both the same age.

I know, it's like looking a mirror. Our mothers are sisters and we have taken that relationship up a notch. Violet and I were inseparable. Don't get me wrong we used to fight like crazy. UFC had nothing on us when we would go at it but we would always end up in hugs.

"Yeah, I can do this. Oh god, I wish Ronnie was here" I say sighing. Veronica is Violet's older sister. I always wanted a sister and Violet and Ronnie made sure that I was never left out. She was my older sister in every sense of the word too. A real mama bear when it came to Violet and I.

"Me too" Violet says and looks sideways. I know just who she's looking at.

"At least he's here" I wink at her and she blushes. Accompanying Violet to her trip to America was her boyfriend all the way from great old Britain, Bradley James. Since first class pairs only two seats together. Poor Brad was on the next seat alone. But his eyes were only glued to Violet.

Their story was something out of a movie. Brad was a singer and Violet used to work for some government secret agency. She hasn't told me about it for obvious reasons but I do know she was a kickass spy..Intern, I think.

So of course all Violet wanted was a quiet life and dating an international superstar was beyond difficult. The ups and downs of their relationship were never ending. And yet they found their happy ending. I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"He can't take his eyes of you" Violet looks back at Brad and they both look at each other like they're the only two people there. I wondered if it would ever be like that for me again.

"Go on sit with him, I can share you" I nudge her and she looks at me for a minute before quickly jumping up and sitting down next to him. I close my eyes and sleep off with the hushed bickering of Ellie and Jordan on the seats behind me.

It was easier done than said for me. I wasn't drowning in depression and I wasn't being haunted by his picture everywhere. Maybe it was because a part of me still thought it wasn't over between us or maybe a part of me still hoped to run into him.

We're here for four days and today was day three. Violet, Jordan and I were finishing getting ready for the fashion show while I'm pretty sure Ellie was either A- flirting with Brad or B- flirting with Brad.

Jordan was a huge fan of Brad's music so she hadn't stopped asking Violet about him. I just laughed watching it all from the sidelines.

I glanced down at my attire. The knee high black socks with a short skirt and a heavy cream sweater with pearls on it complimented me greatly. I was definitely satisfied with my look and so was Jordan who did my makeup.
