16: texting on a plane

i'm packing up. i'm going back home for 3 weeks because mum misses us, and she's not feeling very well. i told ashton and he's going to tell the guys after i'm done packing so they don't try and make me stay.

15 minutes later...

*zips up luggage*

"okay, i'm done, ash."

"okay, bring that downstairs."

ashton helps me with it and we go downstairs where michael is sitting on the couch, eating. luke is watching tv, and calum is on his phone. really.

the first one to notice the luggage was luke.

"um. ashton. why do you have luggage?"

"because..."

calum and michael quickly turned around.

"what?!"

"guys, sydney is leaving."

"what?! why?! right when things are getting good! fuck!"

"why are you leaving?!"

"because mum is sick, so i'm leaving for a year."

"an entire year?!"

"kidding. just 3 weeks. i'll be back before you know it."

"...i can go with you, you know."

"HAHA, no. it's okay calum. either way, don't you guys have shows coming up?"

"yeah, but i can-"

"no you can't. enjoy your shows. i'm leaving now."

"what?! now?!"

"yes, now."

"but-but, i thought you weren't leaving until later."

"nope. her flight leaves in an hour. i'm going to stay with her until it's time for her to leave. so i'll be gone for an hour. don't destroy the place."

"don't worry."

i walked over to calum and gave him a hug. he kissed my head and tilted my chin up so i can kiss him properly. but michael just cleared his throat.

"ahem."

calum mugged him and i quickly pecked him on the lips.

i walked over to luke. i hugged him, he hugged me. yeah.

"see you soon, bestfriend."

"back in a flash. *wink*"

i waved bye to michael and he waved back with a sad smile.

"c'mon let's go before your plane leaves."

"okay. bye guys."

"bye, sydney."

i waved at all of them and ashton walked us out.

we put the luggage away and got into the car. ashton quickly drove us to the airport.

we sat and waited inside until it was 5 minutes before i boarded the plane.

"okay. i guess i better go now."

"yeah. make sure mom feels better."

"i will. call, text, facetime me whenever."

"i will, don't worry. i'm a little worried about calum though."

"why?"

"he likes you too much. and you guys recently got together, now you're leaving for 3 weeks."

"make sure he knows i'll be back, haha."

"don't worry. i'll keep you updated."

"okay. i gotta go. bye, i love you," i said while hugging him.

"i love you too. tell mum i said hi."

"i will. see ya."

"see ya."

i walked over to the boarding area. i got onto the plane and quietly sighed to myself. it was relieving to be away from michael and all that drama, but i'll miss calum and ashton and luke.

"hello passengers, in a few minutes we will be on our way to sydney, australia. if you are not going to sydney, please exit. we are about to start flying so sit back, relax, maybe take a nap, it'll all be okay," said the flight attendant.

i layed back a bit, and pulled on my earphones. i listened to some nirvana, calms me down sometimes. then ding! went my phone. then ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! ding! ding!

now that that's settled. my brain is into mush.

when i landed, my mum wasn't looking too good, but she still talked to me.

"how's every thing over there? ashton told me you're dating calum?"

"y-yeah haha. everything's fine, mum."

"sydney?"

"yeah mum?"

"don't let them change you, okay?"

"i know, mum."

"hope you and calum grow up to get married, so i can become a grandmother!"

"d-does it have to be calum?"

"no, of course not. it can be luke, or michael."

"o-oh."

"no pressure though, haha!"

"y-yeah, no pressure."

great. mum wants grandkids, and i'm only 18. dang.
