Ch. 30 Almost There

(A/N Meant to post this a bit earlier but got distracted. Sadly no double today like I wanted, but to make it up to you, I made this chapter longer for you guys. ENJOY!!!)

Now outside of the airport, Scott looked at the number of cabs lined up on the street. Taking a deep breath, he picked a random empty one and walked up to it.

"Um, hi. Are you on duty?" He asked, leaning down and looking in the window.

"Does it look like I'm on duty?" The driver countered, glancing up from his magazine.

"Uhhh..."

"Just get in." He grumbled, putting the magazine away.

"Oh, um-"

"Hurry up, kid. I'm gonna have a lot more trips to make pretty soon."

"But it's after rush hour."

"What, you think your flight's the only one landing today? Come on, I probably could've had you halfway to your destination by now."

Scott blinked and mumbled a short sorry, opening the back door. He had just picked up his suitcases when he was stopped again.

"Woah, woah, woah. Luggage goes in the trunk." The driver said, pointing his thumb back.

With a sigh, Scott went to the back of the car and followed his instructions. Being careful, he closed the trunk and sat in the backseat of the cab.

"Close the door already. You're letting out all the A.C." The cab driver complained.

With an eyeroll, Scott grabbed the handle and quickly closed the door. He then flinched at the loud bang it made.

"Geez kid, you don't have to get angry about it." The driver mumbled, then he pulled out of the airport and drove onto the street. "So, where am I taking you?" He asked when they stopped at a red light.

Pulling out his wallet, Scott took out the folded sticky note and handed it to him. The driver glanced over it and put the address in his GPS.

"Alright, it doesn't look like we're too far away. We still have a little ways to go so I suggest you get comfortable." He said as he handed it back and the light turned green.

Scott nodded and sat back in his seat, trying to relax and calm his pounding heart. As they got closer to his destination, Scott got more nervous. He took a deep breath as he pulled out his phone, and started messaging his family again. It didn't calm him down all the way, but talking to everyone definitely helped with his nerves.

Meanwhile, at Kevin's house, the game of truth or dare had eventually disbanded after a few more rounds. Now everyone was doing their own thing. Well, everyone except Kirstie and Mitch who had certain limitations. They didn't seem to mind though. In fact, because they were having so much fun, they constantly teased Avi who had a huge pout on his face.

"What were you saying about this getting more difficult?" Kirstie asked as she balanced on the armrest of one of the couches.

"Probably that it'd be more difficult for him to keep a smile on his face." Mitch guessed with a smirk.

"Shut up." Avi grumbled, but they ignored him and continued having fun.

"Hey, I bet I could make it to the other couch." Kirstie challenged, making Mitch turn to look.

"Didn't you do that earlier?"

"I mean without using the chair."

"Are you sure about that, Kirstin? I'm pretty sure Kevin doesn't want you to go to the hospital."
