I threw my Rasta Striped baja hoodie (A/N: Look at the link below) over my tank top and leggings. I also put on my ugg and red hoodie that had a pom-pom on it. 

“We are being picked up.” Beau told me knocking on my door. Our flight was  way to early in the morning for anyone to wake up, and Beau did not want to pay for parking. 

“Beau, Dillion.” Gina whispered from her bedroom.

“Mom we are heading out.” Beau said, she looked as if she had woken up for us.

“Be careful. Don’t do anything stupid. And don’t get arrested in America.” Gina said hugging and kissing Beau’s cheek. 

“I won’t.” She smiled.

“Good Luck, and keep me posted.” She said hugging me and kissing my forehead. I held myself from crying. Ever since we had gotten back from Sydney I had been a mess. I kept in touch with Rita, she was going to come visit me, when I got back from California. She wanted to see Luke. ;)

“Ready?” Beau said dragging my suitcase along with his. “The car is here.” He hugged Gina again before leaving out the front door.

“DId you really think you were going to leave without saying goodbye to your favorite twin?” Jai said coming out of his room in his pajamas. His hair was a curly mess.

“Excuse me, i think i’m her favorite.” Luke said. I helped and pulled them both in for a group hug.

“Aw.” Gina said I could see the flash go off. 

“We’re going to miss you Dill. Be safe and watch Beau.” LUke said.

“And if you see any Californian babes, you’re allowed to bring them home.” Jai said and I laughed.

“If I see Ariana Grande I will let her know.” I laughed and Jai turned red.

“Good Luck. We love you.” Luke said hugging me again.

“I love you guys too.” I said pulling away from them and waved as I shut the door behind me. Beau was talking to the car driver.

“Ready?”He asked. I nodded and he opened the door for me. I plugged my headphones into my phone and started playing music. I wasn’t ready. I couldn’t see my mom hooked up to a machine in a hospital. Beau grabbed my hand and gave me a sympathetic smile. I smiled back. I felt my phone vibrate. IT was twitter.

@luke_brooks: I’m going to miss @Dillion95 and @BrooksBeau. Good Luck in California guys! <3

@JaiBrooks1: I love you @Dillion95. Have fun with Beau in Cali and say hi to your mum for me.

@Janoskiansmngmt: @luke_brooks @JaiBrooks1 and @Dillion95 Hugging it out before Dill left. We’re going to miss her and Beau. :)

I smiled at my phone. And retweeted them all. I also read a few of the replies. People begging for follows, asking why i was going to California, and saying how cute me, Jai and Luke were.  

@Dillion95: Thank You @BeauBrooks for coming on this Journey with me. #bestbigbro

I could see Beau smile when he saw my tweet. He began typing away at his phone.

@BeauBrooks: @Dillion95 no problem. love you girl. #bestsister

I smiled and could see Luke and Jai arguing about who the better brother was. They made different arguements and I couldn’t help but laugh, until we arrived at the airport. Then my nerves hit me. A 22 hour flight, and then I would see my mother and father. 

After the Flight:

“I need to get up and walk.” Beau said standing up even though we just landed. His hair was a mess because he slept a majority of the flight. I, on the other hand, got about 5 hours worth of periodical sleeps. I kept waking up and then falling back to sleep. It was annoying.

“You can’t stand sir. The plane is still in motion.” Said the flight attendant. Beau mumbled curse words under his breath.  It was bright sunny and hot in California, typical summer weather. I looked at Beau who was sweating. 

“Did you bring a change of clothes like I told you to?” I asked. We were going straight to my old house. My father was waiting for us because he was bring us to the hospital.

“Yes, they are in my backpack.” He said holing up his bag.

“Good after we get our luggages we can change. I have to get out of this.” I said holding my hoodie. I tore off my hat and threw it in my bag.

I walked out of the bathroom in a striped shirt, black shorts and sandals.

“You packed that?” Beau asked looking at me. He was wearing shorts and a tanktop.

“Yeah? What’s wrong with it?” I asked taking my sunglasses out of my bag.

“Nothing you just look nice.” 

“I like getting dressed up. It’s a way of expression.” I said throwing my backpack on and dragged my suitcase behind me.

“How are we getting to your...um.”
 “My house. I have no idea.” I said.

“What about your um...” I could tell Beau was uncomfortable with this whole situation.

“My father. He is meeting us at the house. I don’t live to far away. We could walk?” 

“On a main rode. Are you kidding me?” Beau looked at me.

“Wait here.” I said. I left beau with my bags as I walked back into the airport. 

“What happened?” Beau asked me as I walked back out.

“I got us a rental car.” I said holding up keys.

“Can you do that?” 

“I can. I called my father. He was worrying a bit about us. So he said get a rental car. It’s only for the day.”

“I can’t drive. You guys drive on the wrong side of the rode here.” Beau said. I laughed.

“I’ll drive.” I said smiling taking the car keys. I missed California.

“Are you even legally allowed?”

“Yeah. I have my driving license. I got it when I was 16.”

“You can drive and you let me drive you around?”

“You drive on the wrong side of the road in Melbourne. It’s too confusing.” I laughed and Beau just shook his head.
