April's P.O.V
"No, Dad" I sigh " Of course, I will not forget"
"You had better not" he says and hangs up.
I move the phone from my ear, look at the screen and sigh.
I pocket my phone before pulling my boxes.
I had a rolling suitcase and a Weekender, and I have on a brown belt bag on my waist.
I sit at the waiting room, my luggage beside me, and I text Naomi the time my flight would arrive. Then when I hear them announce my flight, I get up, grab my things and make my way to the plane.
I hate flying.
It's nerve-wrecking and I don't want to end up like Violetta.
She was screaming that she doesn't want to die and she's never had a boyfriend before, loudly on the plane.
Only, I'd be shouting, 'I don't wanna die, I've never fallen in love before'.
Honestly, it would be very embarrassing when people yell at me to shut my mouse-hole.
I reach my seat in the plane.
I asked for a window seat instead of one by the isle.
Like... If I'm doing this, I've gotta do it right.
I sit back and throw my headphones on. I close my eyes and wait for everything to thing to start.
I notice a presence beside me, but I don't open my eyes.
I'm actually really tired, so I'm gonna sleep through this whole flight.
4 Hours.
"Oh my God! I missed you so much" Naomi gushes for the umpteenth time today as we drive home.
I laugh at her bubbly self.
"I know... You've said that many times already" I laugh
"I know I know, I just can't believe you're here" She squeals.
Well, this was definitely an example of a child trapped in a woman's body.
She pulls into the driveway and we get out and get my luggage from the trunk.
I turn to look at the house I have lived in for so many years. It still looked good as new. I turn and smile at Naomi struggling with my box.
Once we get in, Dad gets up from the couch in the living room and walks to me while Naomi takes my suitcase upstairs.
"Jellybean" he grins and I laugh
"Daddy" I grin and he laughs and pulls me into a hug. "I missed you"
"I missed you too, darling" He says pulling away and looking at my face.
"C'mon, go up and freshen up" Naomi says as she returns downstairs "Then come down for dinner" She then turns and kisses Dad on the lips.
"Eww!!" I yell and we all laugh.
I'm used to it though. I'm used to them.
She makes Dad happy, so I like her. I mean, since Mu-
"AP!!" I turn to see my 14 year old brother in shorts and a T-shirt
"Xan!!" I run over to him, as does he, and I hug him so tight.
"Air" He breathes and I let go of him
"Sorry" I laugh
"I know you miss me but if you kill me then what's the gain?"
"Pfft. Like you don't miss me more" I roll my eyes
"Yeah right" He rolls his eyes too and I laugh. He joins in.
"C'mon, let's go upstairs" He urges and takes my Weekender with him.
