"annie! hurry! the plane for hawaii leaves in 3 hours and we need to meet the summeralls at the airport!" my mom yells, and i rush down the stairs.
i'm wearing all of hayden's clothes, which are extremely baggy. i haven't gotten much bigger since i turned 15. i'm a pretty petite girl.
hayden is like 6'2 or something, which is why i always feel short.
i'm running down the stairs with my phone in one hand, and water bottle in another. i have my carry backpack on my back, way too heavy for me to carry.
my mom hands me a bagel, with cream cheese of course, and we run out the door. my sister, hayley, couldn't come on this trip. she's spending it with my dad and working on her own shows with some company.
as we're driving there, my mom brings up a topic that makes me feel weird. "so i noticed you're wearing every single piece of hayden's clothes. what's going on between you two?" she asks, suspiciously. "mom. we're just friends. plus, i can't date him. hayden will get hate for using me." i sigh, trying to hide the fact that i was blushing.
5 months ago, me and asher angel had a huge public breakup. he did something horrible, which scarred me for life. and then he started talking shit about me publicly. i brought up the fact we broke up. everyone hated on him, which isn't what i wanted at the time. i thought even though he did these things, he was still good. i disagree now. no one can lift their hand to high five without me flinching.

"annie! look it's hawaii!" hayden gently taps me awake. i lift my head from his shoulder and look out the window. i pull out my phone and take a quick snap of it and captioned it "childhood memories🥺". you could see a little of hayden and i's reflection since we decided to leave at night for the less of a chance of paparazzi.
i look through instagram for the rest of the flight. it doesn't take long to get there, just felt like it. my tags were full of my snapchat and edits. i reposted some, we were in first class and had wifi, then posted on my insta story. (at top!) i showed hayden and he laughed. we talked for half an hour until the plane landed.
i got my carry on down, by me i mean hayden. he hands it to me and says, "my lady." i giggle and say, "thank you my kind gentleman." we laughed and got off the plane.
