The big trip

///Alfred///

I woke up at 3 in the morning. I went to go finish packing my bags. I got my CDs, wallet, tickets, shirts, pants, swim truncks, just in case, phone charger, camera, and anything else I could think we might need. I ate something while I had time. Running around the house takes your energy, specially when it's around 4 in the moring now.

Man, why did I stay up late last night playing kindom hearts on my dsi? It's a good game but, man I'm beat only after an hour of getting ready and I have to go in 30 more minutes. I got my phone and message Iggy.

hey u up? We gtg in like 30 min.

I continued to eat as I waited for a message back. Not even 5 minutes later Arthur messaged me back.

Yes I'm up, and I also know you  stayed up playing games like usual.

Hehheh. Yep that's my Iggy, he knows me so well. We message each other for about a minute more, then I was on my way to pick him up. I drove up to his house, getting out of my truck, I knocked on the door. Arthur opens the door.

I look inside to see everyone's awake, well Peter is still half asleep. "Alright come in while I get my stuff." Arthur open the door more and I came inside. Everybody was drinking tea or coffee and Peter almost dozed off on the couch.

Arthur comes back out with his suitcase, that is a medium size. I take his bag and he hugs his brothers. "Have fun, don't forget to let us know when you guys land." Oliver says. Arthur nods. Peter wakes up snd hugs Arthur as well.

Then we are off to the airport. Arthur stayed quiet and read something from his phone. When we get to the airport we go threw everything and drop off our suitcaes. We head to our gate. Hardly anybody is there. There is a family of 3, 2 guys that look like they fell asleep not long ago, and a couple who look like they slept all day and have so much energy right now.

Me and Iggy sit down and he leans agaist me, almost falling asleep. I wrap my arm around his shoulders and let him sleep. About 20 people at the most sit near the gate, most of them look tired. After about 10 maybe 15 minutes they call for boarding.

I pat Arthur to wake him up. I must have scared him because he jumped. "Come on they're boarding our row." I said. "Ok..." He stood up and stretched. "This is going to be a long ride." He finished. We step on the plane with the others. We find our seats and plop down in them.

Arthur still looks sleepy. I wrap my arm around him and have him lean against me. His head on my shoulder, he starts to doze in and out before we take off. He looks cute, but I don't want to get hit or yelled at so I'll keep it to myself.

By the time we take off Arthur is asleep and I'm getting ready to doze off. I manage to stay awake for about 30 minutes, then I am out like a light. I slept throw most of the ride. We landed at 3 in the afternoon. He was right it's a long ride.

He woke up right before we landed. "Wow I slept through the plane ride." He said as we got off the plane. "Yea." I replied. We both got our suitcases. "Do you want anything to eat, because I'm starveing!" I asked him. "Yea I feel peckish and you're hungry all the time." He said.

That's true I am hunry all the time. But I am still growing so it doesn't matter. "What type of restraunts are here?" I asked. He has to know of at least one, right? He thought for a minute. He mentioned some restraunt that is about 20 minutes away.

I called us a cab or taxi or whatever they call them. I pay for the ride when we get there. Surprisedly a hotel was right next to it, but I still think of the place I rented out for a month. We enter the restraunt and its's just like Applebee's, but more British.

We are seated at a booth by a waitress. "Ok I'll be right back, you can looked over the drinking items while I am gone." She walked away. I look over the list. There is a lot of tea oppions. "Are you excited ?" I asked him trying to started a convasation.

"Yes I'm excited, I haven't been here for over two years." He said. I smiled at his reply. "So do you mind telling me some stories?" I really want to know what it's like. He nodded and thought about which story to tell. "Well one time I was walking to the city from the out-skirts, I saw a little odd light." He began.

"But you probley want to hear a different story."

"just tell me any story,  like how this place is, or who is from here, or even why you love it so much." I said. He went on about London and how he grew use to the cold wiinters and warm summers. How he loved the way the fields looked in the spring, and how he loves the way the leafs fall in the fall.

Even little things make him happy here. The waitress came back. "Thank you for waiting, I am Kayla your waitress for the day, What drink is to your pleasing?" She had a nice voice. Arthur asked for black tea, whatever that is, and I asked for a coke.

She went off with our orders and we talked more. "Oh I almost forgot to message my brother." He said pulling out his phone. "Oh yea do that before we eat." I said. Kayla came back with our drinks and left again to let us read the menu.

They had a hamburger and fries special so I wanted that. "Why do you love hamburgers so much?" He asked. "They are just that good." he rolled his eyes. "So how does it feel?" I asked him. He gave back a confused face. "What do you mean?"

"I mean to finally be out of high school." I said with a smile. He chuckled a little. "You know high school really never ends." What? What does he mean by that? "Everyone is still obessed about looks and fashion, who is the coolest, who is the most known, and we always learn something new, so really it never ends."

"Oh, well at least we can feel a little bit free." I said. We can do a little bit more now then we could in high school. The waitress came back and left with our orders. "It's not that different, Al." He looked away. "It is to me because.." I scooted closer to him and whispered in his ear. "Now you won't get in much trouble if you stay the night."

A blush wented across his face. "The bloody hell!" I couldn't help but laugh. He looked too cute. He hit my head gently. "You bloody git, what goes through that head of yours?" I kissed the top of his head. "Oh just to find ways to make you happy." I said with a big smile. The waitress came back and set our plates down, off she went.

We ate and joked around alittle. I payed for most of the bill and Arthur just had to pay too. We went to the house I rented out. Arthur seemed to like it. It's some what old, out near a field with lots of flowers.

"It's just like my house before I moved to America." He said with a small smile. I put our suitcases in the only bedroom."We have to go and get some food." I said as I walked back in the living room. He nodded while looking around.

He was acting like a little kid going somewhere new.  It looks adorable. I wrap my arms around his waist from behide him, leaning down to rest my head on his shoulder. He smile with his eye. "Come on lets go the store so we can make breakfast tomorrow." I say.

I let go of him. "I suppose you are right." He sighed. We head out the door going to the store that's a good walk away.
