italics: your thoughts
your pov.
i woke up, feeling nervous but nonetheless really excited. i quickly hopped out of bed and went to go get ready. i already picked out my outfit i was gonna wear to the airport the night before due to all the excitement. oh my god i can't believe today's the day!!
we've been preparing for this trip for months and now that it's finally happening it
feels unreal. i took a quick shower and changed into my clothes. i wanted to stay comfy for the long flight to london so i picked out an oversized graphic tee and my classic sweatpants. i was debating wether or not to wear a bucket hat and decided to wear it in the end.
as i was looking at myself in the mirror i heard my phone start to ring so i answered it,
"hey!! me, julie and maxine are on our way there! u ready?" noah asked through facetime,
"yep! i'm gonna wait for u guys outside." i answered,
"mkay, see ya!" julie said, ending the facetime. we planned to catch breakfast at
mcdonald's before heading to the airport since there was one 5 minutes away
from our house. maxine was another friend of ours, who lived farther away so we weren't able to hang out as much, but she agreed to bring us to the airport.
i went downstairs and i was greeted by my mom sitting on the sofa, reading a book.
"hey mom! i'm so excited. i'm gonna miss u guys so much." i said,
"i'll miss u too, stay safe, okay sweetie?" i nodded, giving her a warm hug.
"what about me, young lady?" dad asked, coming down the stairs. i laughed,
running over and hugging him.
"i'll miss you guys." i said, pulling away from our hug.
"you stay safe okay? you have your pepper spray? your-" dad continued, obviously way too concerned.
"dad! i'm gonna be fine. i know jujutsu." i interrupted jokingly, giving my parents a small wink. they laughed softly, my parents started to tear up, i assured them i was gonna be fine and we all talked, mostly them being overprotective of me, im surprised they even let me on this trip, i had to convince them for 2 months straight.
"i'm gonna say goodbye to ryan and ella." i told them, heading back upstairs.
i first wanted to say goodbye to ella, who was still sound asleep. i slowly entered her room and turned on the lights. she groaned, rolling around in bed.
"hey el, i'm leaving for london today." i whispered gently. she opened her eyes and looked at me.
"im gunna miss u" ella cooed.
"i'll miss u more bub, i love u okay? ill be back before u know it." i said softly, placing a kiss on her cheek.
"i hope u dont get bored out of ur mind here with ryan." i giggled.
ella smiled at me,
"bye!" i waved, turning off the lights.
"bye bye!" i heard her shout, as i closed the door. i walked back to ryan's room and turned on the lights,
"ryan i'm leaving for london today." i said, standing at the doorway.
"good, i'll be in peace now." he groaned, obviously still tired. i sighed,
"whatever. bye!" i said,
"wait! um, seriously, stay safe okay? i'll miss u" he continued, in a more serious and concerned voice.
"mhm, love u dumbass" i laughed. i could practically hear him roll his eyes, i turned off the lights and waved goodbye.
i rushed downstairs,
"your friends are here, honey." mom said, i said one final goodbye to my parents as i headed outside, carrying my luggage and putting it in the car trunk.
"ahhhh i'm so excited!!" i sqeauled, getting in the back with noah and julie. we all had fun talking in the car, and soon we arrived at the airport.
(back to third pov)
"thanks by the way," you said to maxine.
"course, have fun u guys!" she said, dropping you off. you all said your goodbye and went in the airport. julie was definitely the mom friend so she led you all to the right spots. noah was the adult though, he turned eighteen last month and he was your "legal guardian" even though you all knew julie was way more responsible. you all boarded the plane, noah on the left, closest to the aisle, julie in the middle, and you at the window seat. you all watched a movie on your laptop, and you spent 4 hours sleeping, occasionally waking up to eat, and the last 2 hours playing among us with julie and noah.
the flight ended and you, julie and noah took an uber to the hotel room you all booked.
you slumped on the bed,
"god was that tiring.."
