a night in London

chapter one, sky POV

April 17th

glimmer brook airport

Out of all days to be traveling today was the day, one of my friends and well... Boss Ren had managed to get me VIP tickets for my favorite band because my ex fiancée dumped me and he wanted to cheer me up with a vacation with, of course, Ren, his boyfriend amontillado, and me. I mean I'm happy that i got tickets but at the end of the day the woman i was planning to marry dumped me a month before the wedding.

"Hi sky!" ren exclaimed while getting out of the bright yellow cab while Amontillado carried the bags. Ren runs over while Amontillado carries the bags and has to walk slowly because he has two suitcases and a big backpack. "Four fucking pairs of shoes for just a weekend" amontillado sighs "and you told me you hated one of the pairs because they were hard to style". "So? I like having choices and plus what if my shoes get wet or if we go to the beach or- "Ren says to amontillado just to get interrupted by him. "Then you pack two!" amontillado says "just because I'm rich ren doesn't mean you need to over pack so much". Ren shrugs and then walks away while amontillado struggles to carry the bags. "Fucking asshole" amontillado murmurs a little too loud "don't tell him that i said that".

"I'll try not to," i say with a smirk, its always quite funny when ren is mad at amontillado about stupid shit. "I will pay you to keep your mouth shut", "how much are we talking?"; "I don't know? Ten bucks?". "Hey ren!", "100! One hundred dollars". "Never mind!". Ren looks at us confused then keeps walking to the bag check line.

I open my bag and I grab my light gray headphones, the case painted with teal and black holographic nail polish, the lid missing due to the wear and tear. Once i left my earbuds at my then girlfriend's house and got them back with the case painted but now the paint is chipped showing the original light gray. If only I could undo time and apologize and maybe kiss her? But i cant, she flew back to California after dumping me and i haven't talked to her since. I mean i should try to move on from her because this is the "forget that snooty bitch she smelled like dirty nickels anyways trip" as amontillado said but he's also gay so i wouldn't take his opinion on women regardless, but they also filled our trip with things i am interested in and strip clubs and even got me my own hotel room incase i wanted a one night stand.

And to be honest this would be a young single man's dream vacation but not for me, fuck id rather go see the fucking concert then get on the first flight home but the guys put a lot of care in this trip so i might as well try to enjoy it.

Getting on the plane was nothing remarkable, bag checks, sitting there for about an hour, then getting on our plane to our seats. Luckily amontillado got nice business class seats, the row in front of me having ren and amontillado and I'm right behind ren at the window seat.

Then a young woman sits next to me, medium length black hair, dark blue eyes that could be compared to purple, and a type O negative hoodie with black sweats and beat up pink converse that's seen better days. "Hello" she tells me, her voice is warm and welcoming. I wave hi awkwardly because i don't want to be rude to the person I'm going to be sitting next to for the next few hours.

And then she begins to rant about how she flew to glimmer brook for a work trip and now she's going home to her three cats and how she can't wait to get home.

I try to not get irritated because I genuinely don't want to talk to random plane lady. So I respond with mhm and subtle nods but she doesn't take it as a 'please stop talking to me'. I am not the kind of guy to get easily irritated but she's tickling my taint to try and get a reaction. I sit there annoyed until Ren says something, "wanna trade seats? Amontillado is being an asshole" and I nod a little too enthusiastically and we trade seats.

Then the woman continues to talk Ren's ear off and there's a pregnant pause between me and amontillado. "I don't have the cash on me right now but ill get it to you soon" amontillado explains "i try to take little cards and cash on vacations so i only have mine and Rens debt card and my ID", i nod because i get it. Amontillado is a wealthy man who's a quite known author and pianist and he likes to under pack compared to Ren who over packs for every single situation.

I turn to look at Ren and I see him talking to the lady about dead rock stars like peter Steele or Dimeback Darrel and enthusing about their music. And then I turn back to amontillado... this is gonna be a long flight...
