March 28, 2017- Orlando, Florida 

"Jessica Elizabeth Williams-Becket let's go! If you want to say goodbye to your cousins we need to leave now!" I hear my mother shouting my full name for me from downstairs. "I'm coming mom!" I yell back, grabbing my hoodie and bolting down the stairs.

My family from up north were visiting, they are leaving today, and my mom, sister, and I were driving them to the airport. We lived a few cities over from Orlando so it's a bit of a drive, plus we had to pick them up from their hotel. 

"If they're late for their flight, we'll blame it on Jessie. Tell them she took too long to get ready." My sister Jules says with a chuckle, lightly jabbing me with her elbow. "Shut up Jules, you know that's not true." I bite back, passing her on the way out the door. 

My sister and my mom are my best friends, and the same goes for them. We've always been really close especially when we started homeschooling, which I had to take a break from while our family was here. I don't mind anyway, because even thought I'm doing school at home it still sucks. 

"Jessica text your cousin and tell her we're here, please." My mom tells me from the driver seat. "She said they're coming down now." I say to her. "Ok make room, Jules get in the back seat." My sister gets out of the car just as our family exists the hotel so she has to help them load their luggage. Sucker. 

"Hey Jessie" My favorite cousin Alice chirps, along with her mother Michelle. "Hi guys, I wish you could stay here longer, a week wasn't enough." I say with a slight pout. "I know! Mom we should move down here." Alice says with a laugh and we all chime in after her. "Seriously, you guys need to come and visit us, just tell us when and you can stay at our house!" Michelle tells us kindly "I wish we could, we really want too!" My sister answers for my mom and I.

After about an hour and a million conversations later, we finally reach the airport. "Are you guys coming in with us or are we saying goodbyes here?" Alice asks us, but mostly asking my mom. "I have to go to the bathroom!" I say quickly before my mom can answer. "Jessica!" My mother and my sister groan. "I'm sorry. I can't help it!" I sputter out. "It's fine Jessie, we'll go in, come on." My mother reassures me, while getting out of the car. 

The airport isn't that crowded which makes sense, considering it's a weekday. After saying goodbye to our family I remember I have to pee, very badly. "Mom I need to go right now, are you coming with me?" I ask her, slightly hoping she says yes because I don't want to go by myself. "No honey, you go I don't have to." Damn. She usually always has to pee. "Okay, whatever I'll be back." I say to them as I bolt off to the nearest restroom.

After I wait in a god awful line, I finally get to go and boy am I excited. Once I finish, I wash my hands and race out of the bathroom in search of my family, hopefully it doesn't take me a day and a half to find them. Obviously I'm not paying attention, because I wouldn't be me if was, anyways of course I bump into someone, more like crash. I crashed into someone, just my luck.

"Oh my god! Wow! I'm really sorry. I wasn't paying attention." I spit out really fast, my words slurring together. "Are you ok?" I ask the poor person that I've just rammed into. "Yeah bro, I'm good. It's all good, don't worry. Are you ok?" I hear a deep, smooth voice say. I finally get the courage to look up from the ground, and I'm met with a girl a little taller then me and around age, wearing a killer outfit, baggy but it suits her. "Yeah- yes," I say clearing my throat slightly. "I'm great!" I breath out. 

After a couple of awkward seconds standing there, staring at each other, the girl with the silver hair speaks up again. "I'm really sorry I ran into you." She says kindly. "No, it was my fault. For real, I totally crashed into you." I tell her with a laugh. "I'm Jessica!" I tell her with a bright smile, jutting out my hand for her to shake. "Billie." She answers back, with a slight smile taking my hand to shake. "Billie, it suits you. Very well." I tell her, she blushes a little, turning her head a bit to the left to hide. "You look like like a Jessica." She says laughing.

From the distance I see a red headed boy, a few years older then me approach us. "Hey, Bil, we gotta leave." He tells the blue eyed girl, walking up behind her. "Hi, I'm Finneas." He says to me, looking kind of confused trying to get a gauge on the situation. "Oh, hello. I'm Jessica!" I tell him with a skeptical look on my face. I don't usually talk to random girls I run into, and then some other random guy, plus tell them my name. 

"I should go, my mom is waiting for me. Again I'm really sorry for running into you. By the way, I like your shoes, like a lot." I tell Billie pointing down to her feet, I give her small wave and start to walk away, not waiting for a goodbye. "Who was that?" I hear that Finneas guy say to Billie, but by the time she answers I'm too far away to hear. "Jessica! Hey wait up!" I hear a masculine voice call after me. I turn around and see Finneas chasing after me. 

"Can I help you?" I say to him. "Yeah, do you have Instagram or something!" He asks me with a small smile. "Uh, I'm sorry, why?" I question him, clearly very confused. "Look, I'm Billies brother, and I think you two should be friends." He explains, rolling on the balls of his feet. "Oh ok yeah it's JessWilliams, on Instagram, look I have to go I'm sorry." I tell him, rushing off. "You apologize a lot!" He shouts to me. "Sorry!" I shout back not bothering to turn around, I hear him chuckle quietly to himself. 

"Jessie, where were you? I was getting worried." My mom asks me. "I'm sorry, I ran into someone, had to make sure they were okay." I answer back to her. "Well that was nice, come on, girls, let's go home." My mom tells my sister and I. Once we make it back to the car I get a notification from Instagram, informing me I got two new followers. I smile to myself knowing exactly who they're from.
