Feelings

01

I sighed while running my check list through my head, making sure I packed everything. I think I remembered it all but it always stresses me out trying to pack for trips. The more I've thought about staying with 5 Seconds Of Summer, the more I've liked it. Not many people get to say they're staying with a famous band because their step-dad helps them write music and sings with them on occasion because he's in a band himself, yeah I think my situation is a unique one. My mom came up to tell me goodbye, even though I'm not leaving for an hour, she had to go teach a yoga class.

"I hope you have a great time, make sure to text me constantly and call me every once in awhile...keep me updated on any boys you see."

My mom was smiling because she knew it bugged me when she talked about guys like that. I groaned jokingly and smiled back,

"I'll make sure to contact you...but as for boys, I'm not sure I'll be paying them any attention."

I told my mom this knowing it was a lie, I mean, I'll be with the 5 Seconds Of Summer and it's going to be hard not falling for one of them. I always hopelessly fall in love and it ends in heartbreak. I'll try my hardest not to catch feelings for one of the Australian boys, but I will make sure I look my best at all times, just in case. My mom looked like she was going to cry, I don't get out much, let alone leave my family for a long period of time.

"I'll miss you Caitlyn, don't grow up too much and don't forget to keep in contact!"

She was acting like I was going off to college or something, which she won't have to worry about for a couple years since I'm 16.

"Mom I won't be gone for too long, I won't forget about you, I love you okay? You're going to be late to yoga class."

Her eyes widened,

"Oh my! Yes! I forgot, I was already running behind, but it's alright they can't do anything without a teacher."

My mom smiled and I chuckled while hugging her one last time and kissing her cheek,

"Alright mom I'll be back before you know it, love you, enjoy some time to yourself, and maybe get Tyler to come stay with you for a bit."

She nodded thinking about what I had just said, Tyler is my older brother, he's 20 and lives around 30 minutes away. He attends a local college and can take days off if he wishes.

"Alright honey, I'll definitely get Tyler to visit, be good, have fun, love you!"

My mom rushed down the stairs grabbing her yoga mat, a banana, and a water bottle, walking out the door and driving off. John walked into my room and smiled seeing as I was ready to go early,

"Are you excited?"

"Yeah this will be fun, it's a new opportunity."

I smiled and he nodded walking back to his room probably doing what I've done 20 times already, making sure nothing was forgotten. I decided to play some music on my iHome, putting a random playlist on shuffle. I laid back in my moon seat closing my eyes for a brief moment.

"Caitlyn! Did you not hear me calling from downstairs?"

I jumped hearing John loudly in my room, he realized I was asleep,

"Sorry Cait, the car is here to take us to the airport."

"It's fine, I guess I dozed off."

I looked around for my bag and John noticed,

"I took your things down already."

I nodded walking into my bathroom looking at my appearance in the mirror, I was wearing knee length denim shorts, a pink tank top, a white short sleeved sweater cover top, and grey vans. I'm a bit insecure, so I don't show much of my body ever. My chocolate brown hair was down around my shoulders and I wasn't wearing make up considering we were flying to Australia. I live in San Diego, California so I dressed comfortably in hopes to sleep on the plane ride. I walked out of my bathroom grabbing my phone on the way out of my room and down the stairs to where John was standing by the door,
