  "He's here." I say, reading Justin's text.

Sammy got up and stretched, making a loud and dragged out sound. I giggled after I did the same thing. We've all been sitting on a bench for like 3 hours, with little breaks to stand up and charge our phones.

"Wait, I don't understand, like, where is he?" Jack J asked.

I shrugged. "I guess I'll call him." I pulled out my phone and dialed Justin's number.

"Hey!" He answered.

"Hi!" I laughed at his enthusiasm. "Where you at?"

"I'm in like the very back. You know where all those black taxi vans are?"

"Yeah." I said.

"I'm pretty much directly behind them. I'm not in the front though, I'm in the back. I can just see them from where I am right now."

"Okay, then we're on the way!"

"Sweet. See ya."

"See ya." I hungup.

"So where is he?" Jack asked.

"He's in the back. Follow me." I pulled the handles out of my suitcases and began walking, strolling them along with me. The guys did the same. Maybe it's just me, but I hate the sound of strolling suitcases. It reminds me of early mornings, arriving at hotels.. Or being exhausted and strolling them through the hotel halls. I guess I'm almost to the point where I'll be use to it because I do it so much- which is a good thing.

We got to the very back of the airport a couple minutes later. A security guard let us through so we could go to the plane runway.

Out of all things, strolling suitcases on concrete was the worst. It made my hand tingle from rolling over the little bumps so fast.

We got down to the private portion of the airport, and that's when I spotted Justin. He was talking to someone and standing right in front of his black jet. His own gorgeous black jet. Damn.

We finally got over to him.

"Heh-hey!" He ran up and gave me a hug.

"Hi!" I smiled. "This is gorgeous." I said, admiring the subtle features that were blind to me just a few seconds ago. The dark paint sparkled as if it were melted and mixed with diamonds and gold.

"Thanks." He grinned. While he was greeting the rest of the guys, I ran my hand over the cold metal, wishing this thing was mine. Soo much better than a public plane.

"Come inside!" Justin walked up the stairs and opened the door. It seemed to be pretty heavy duty, so he held it for me.

"Thanks." I smiled and walked inside. We all left our luggage outside for his guard to put in the back.

No. Way. I can't believe my eyes. This thing is like a flying mansion! The tan seats looked fresh and new. The carpet was absolutely perfect, It looked like I probably could sleep on it.

"Should I take my shoes off?" I said, hesitant to take another step.

"Nah. Well I mean you can, because the carpet feels good." He shrugged.

I slipped my black flats off and set them in a cubby space under the couch.

I walked around, nervous to pick my seat.

"Literally sit anywhere, treat this place like it's your own." He told us.

"Bro. This is so sick." Sammy admired the silver speaker system that was hanging above the couch.

"Thanks. I had that put in there. I can't imagine plane rides without music."

"Well damn, I just use headphones." Jack J said. We all laughed.

"Can I ask how much this was?" Jack said.

"The jet itself?" Justin asked.

Jack nodded.

"About 60 mil." Justin shrugged.

Jesus Christ. I almost choked on my own spit.

"I feel like I'm in a giant diamond or something." I furrowed my eyebrows, still thoroughly shocked at the price.

He laughed. "It's nice, I will say."

I nodded, almost aggressively. "Definitely is."

Jack widened his eyes at me when Justin wasn't watching as if he heard the price was 3 billion or something.

I widened them back in agreement.

"So, LA is our landing spot?" He asked.

"Yeah!" I said.

"Thank you man, for real, you saved us." Jack said.

"Ah, no problem."

A half an hour later, we were up in the air. Jack was talking to Jack, Sammy and Nate were talking to Justin, and I was sitting here literally still in shock that he can afford a 60 MILLION dollar plane just for his own enjoyment.

The lights were dimmed and it looked even more impressive in here. I was dozing off quite a bit considering none of the guys were talking to me.

I thought about the call I got from Ava's phone before her funeral. Who could that have been? I really should've asked Madame Rotalli. Oh! That reminds me! She told me that Ava asked me to tell her mom to look under her mattress. I don't think Amanda has moved anything in Ava's room yet, so I should probably tell her. I'll have to remember when I have service on my phone. But, what could it even be? A letter? An object?..

"Paige." Jack said.

I broke from my thoughts and looked over at him. "Huh?"

"You look pretty focused."

I smiled, a little embarrassed. "Just thinking." I shrugged.

I was probably half asleep as well.

"Hey, I have a bed in the back if you're tired." Justin said. I think he caught me yawning.

"Oh, I'm good." I yawned again.

"You sure?" He laughed.

"Actually, yeah, can I take a quick nap?" I smiled.

"Go ahead." He grinned.

I patted Jack on the head before walking to the back. I climbed on top of the bed and plopped down on the overly comfy red blanket. It smelt exactly like Justin, and I loved it. It was a matter of seconds before I fell asleep.

For what felt like several moments later, I was woken up. We were going over some big wind bumps or something. I climbed out and walked into where the guys were.

"What's happening?!" I asked, rubbing my eye and squinting. Now it felt as if I'd been in hibernation for a year. I was wobbling all over, and eventually had to sit down so I wouldn't fall because of how much the plane was jerking.

"We don't know, Justin said there might be something wrong." Jack J said. I noticed that Justin wasn't in the room. I guess he was talking to the pilot.

The plane violently jerked to the left, and it felt like we were going down.

"Oh shit shit SHIT!!!" Sammy grabbed on to the edge of his seat.

"Fuck." Jack ran over to me and held me.

Justin ran out of the pilots space, falling all over.

"WE'RE CRASHING."
