you and Ellie woke up to your alarm, and you decided to take a shower before your long flight. Ellie went first, and while she showered, you packed up your last-minute things for your carry-on and she did the same while you were in the shower.

outfit & hair (both in that pic): ⬇️

when you and Ellie are done, it's time to say goodbye to your parents.
mackenzie- i'll miss you guys so much.
you hug your mom first.
mom- i'll miss you too. call if you need anything always.
mackenzie- i will don't worry.
then you hug your dad.
dad- stay safe and don't let any of these boys break your heart.
mackenzie- you've got it dad. (everybody laughs)
then, Ellie hugs your parents and you go to her house to pick up her bags. you say goodbye to her parents (but that's boring so i'll skip that part).

you went to pick up the boys because they wanted to come to the airport.

in the car, you all jam to throwback songs and your squad's favorite songs, Swish by Mike Stud and An Evening I Will Not Forget by Dermot Kennedy.

you arrived at 8:00, and you were really early to the airport since your flight was at 9:00. Ellie wanted to take a pic of you since you're really photogenic and you all thought the pic would be funny. you did this pose:⬇️

it was time to say bye to the boys and you started crying.
mackenzie- i can't live without you guys
alex- mack it'll only be a month, and we'll annoy you by facetiming you like every night.
joe- aww mack dont cryyy we love you

matt was the last one to hug and you started crying the hardest because you are closest with him. matt started tearing up too.

mackenzie- i love you best friend
matt- i love you too (his voice started breaking)
mackenzie- aww don't cryyy
you didn't pull out of the hug, and ellie took a photo and put it on her IG story.

a few minutes later, you and ellie boarded the plane and sat next to eachother (obvi).
•••••
when the plane landed, you and ellie went to grab your bags.
ellie- who's picking us up?
mackenzie- i assumed i would text someone to ask where they're meeting and we could just take an uber there.
ellie- ok sounds good to me. oo! look, our bags!!
mackenzie- oh i see them!!
you grabbed your bags and you went to go get Chick-fil-a in the airport before you called the uber.

you were about to walk out when you hear someone say your names. you flinch but then you see jaden and payton standing a few yards away smiling. you and ellie look at eachother in unison, drop your bags, and run to them. you jump into jadens arms and ellie jumped into payton's arms.
jaden- (he whispered into your neck) finally.
mackenzie- how did you know what time we landed and where we were?
jaden put you down, same with payton and ellie.
payton- we saw on instagram that you boarded at nine because of avani's comment, and she did the math for us.
ellie- i'm so happy we're here
mackenzie- me too
you looked at jaden and you both blushed.
mackenzie- can we go meet everyone now?
jaden- yeah of course, they're all at the Sway House.
ellie- what is that?
jaden- it's where me and the boys live, and avani visits a lot. she plans on moving in after tour since she's dating anthony. (a/n: i know payton isn't in sway house but let's pretend he is)
josh is also talking to a girl named Nessa and she visits there too. she's coming on tour as well.
ellie- well let's go!!
