It's been 2 years since I saw my bestfriend Calum Hood and my 20 year old self is still afraid to go on a plane to LA on her own. I messaged Cal to tell him that I'm boarding the plane from London now. An 11 hour flight wasn't exactly my cup of tea. I woke up with a big headache and I had barely slept the night before. On the flight, I started to remember how me and Calum became friends. I don't have parents well they died in a car accident 2 days after I was born. Joy, calum's mother was my mom's bestfriend. When I was 5 years old, she came to visit me in the orphanage along with 7 year old Calum and 12 year old Mali. She explained to me everything that had happened but my 5 year old self did not pay that much attention. Calum started playing with my dolls and that day we went out for icecream and he asked me "Do you want to be my friend?". I laughed when the plane was taking off.
Remembering how I was a simple girl without any problems in the world. I'm not like the others I used to say to myself to comfort me. I don't have parents but I met this guy who is my bestfriend and I can say that I am pretty lucky. 4 years later, Calum and Joy came back to visit me in London. Me and him exchanged MySpace usernames and we kept contact for quite some time. I had a limited time for using the internet and therefore me and Calum used to speak for only 30 minutes everyday and on weekends 40 minutes. I used to look forward everyday to the time I spoke to him. He always used to be so happy and he loved to show me new music which he had wrote on his bass. He was a very talented for his age and I always encouraged him to join a band because he deserves to be famous.
Look at where he is now. The bassist of 5 seconds of the summer. One of the most famous pop rock bands in the world. I couldn't be prouder of him and couldn't wait to see him.
The flight landed at 3 in the afternoon. Flying alone was my biggest fear but knowing that I landed in the place where Calum is made me feel safe. I texted him saying that I arrived and he replied back with "Can't wait to see you! I'm with the boys. You will see us when you come out for sure". The boys. Ashton, Michael and Luke. That Hemmings guy is kind of cute but he has been single for 6 months now. I don't know if he's fully moved on from his last relationship.
I stepped out of the plane and it was the fastest time I ever went through customs. It only took about 15 minutes and I grabbed my luggages and exited the door. There he was. I could see him. He shouted at me "YOU'RE HERE. YOU ACTUALLY FINALLY ARE HERE". I was super excited to see him and I ran up to hug him with tears in my eyes as it had been too long since I saw him. "IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU CALUM".
After 5 minutes of hugging and laughing with Calum, I finally hugged the boys and hugging Luke was honestly the best thing ever. But I couldn't get used to it. I wanted to get him off my mind and fast.
