Long Way Home

sixteen

With the help of Cal we pack up all my stuff we were now checking my stuff into LAX, as we walked through the airport I wondered off by myself as some fans recognised Cal, I silently prayed that no one would've noticed me from crystals post of the articles online. I didn't want the attention, i wasn't ready for it. 

Moving across the world was probably the dumbest impulse decisions that i've made.

But why did I overthink everything to the point of making myself sick? 

We walked hand in hand onto the plane, i was nervous, sitting down in my seat I shoved my carry on under my seat, I looked to cal as he handed me a jumper i smiled as he pressed a kissed my temple. "This feels so surreal" I mumbled, throwing his hoodie over my smaller body.

"It is happening, its exciting! plus ill help you look for a job, i promise it'll all be okay, baby"  Cal whispered, kissing my cheek. I smiled with a nod, sending a quick message to my dad telling him I was on the plane.

Saying goodbye to him was probably one of the hardest things to do, seeing as i wouldn't be able to see him as much, i wouldn't be able to be there in sydney if something bad was to happen, that was probably one of the main reasons as I why i didn't wanna leave. 

Cal and I made small talk for a little while before he fell asleep, i smiled and moved the armchair so he could rest his head on my shoulder as i played with his hair. I grabbed my phone, thanking that there was wifi on the plane. Scrolling through instagram i got bored before seeing that someone tagged me on twitter, clicking on the notification i sighed as it took me to another few articles.

@latimes; Calum and secret girlfriend spotted holding hands at Sydney airport, are they dating? find out for yourself here; *link attached*

I sighed and locked my phone, not even wanting to bother with it, i ignored the comments before locking my phone. Why didn't people just let others be happy, no matter who they were with.  I sighed deeply and continued to play with his hair. After a few hours I grew bored silently praying he'd wake up so i grabbed my earphones and looked through youtube, coming across 5SOS old interviews i laughed to myself at how small they were. 

After a long 17 hour sleepless flight we finally landed in La, Luke and Sierra were waiting for us in their car so no fans would see them. I yawned and leaned my head against Cals shoulder as i waited for my bags. "we'll be home soon, don't fall asleep on me now" i felt calum's shoulders move as he laughed.

Pulling my bags out of the airport we managed to not get stopped by anyone and if we did- i had no care in me at this point. As soon as we spotted the car i put my bags into the boot before sliding in, saying a quick hello to both i put my seatbelt off and almost immediately fell asleep.

Calum.

Getting into the car I smiled at both Sierra and Luke, looking at Carter i smiled to myself and pressed a kiss to her hair. Grabbing the packet of cigarettes from my bag i placed one between my lips lighting it. 

"How was sydney?" Sierra asked, grabbing Luke's hand. 

"it was okay, I met Carters mom and brother, i didn't know she had a dead brother so it was news to me, and when i did arrive, she was high and drunk- that surprised me the most " I mumbled, looking over at her sleeping body. 

"She told us a while ago that her brother had died, it was before she left for sydney again. we spoke about a lot but i know she'll tell you when she's ready" I hummed and let out a breath of smoke, it was almost like i knew her but she still remained a secret.
