march 2020
"charlie, i swear to god, if you dont hurry up i will leave you here!" i yell impatiently looking at the time.
"JUST GIVE ME TWO MINUTES"
"YOU SAID THAT SIX MINUTES GO" i respond, hearing his frustrated groan echo through the apartment.
we have just moved into a nice little apartment back in our hometown. after the show wrapped we stayed in vancouver for a couple more days before coming back home. we wanted to spend every second we could with our friends.
charlie's family was nice enough to let us stay in their house while we searched for an apartment of our own. after weeks of searching, we found the perfect apartment. the minute we stepped into it we knew it was for us, even if it was only for a temporary amount of time. we finally moved in two weeks ago, which has resulted in us still having loads of boxes around the house.
which now is the reason why charlie cant find anything and we're going to miss our flight out to florida for jeremy's wedding.
"OKAY IM READY" he says tiredly as he grabs my hand and his luggage before pulling me out the door.
"i told you to make sure you had everything YESTERDAY" i scold him as we run towards his car.
he rolls his eyes before opening up the trunk of his orange Subaru and throwing our luggage in there.
"what were you even looking for?" i question him.
"just something i needed" he shrugs giving me his vague answer. i decide to let it go as we try to speed to get to the airport.
"im sure you just broke like 7 laws while driving right now" i laugh as we rush out of the car.
"we're on time now, aren't we?" he smiles trying to justify his horrendous driving. we take our bags out of the trunk and lock the car, rushing towards the entrance.
"you know, this is like our little tradition" he laughs as we make our way to airport security.
"what is?"
"being late and rushing through airports when we need to be somewhere." i shake my head at him trying to bite back a smile.
"YOU'RE the one who always makes us late" i say while putting my things in the plastic container and walking through the metal detector.
"UM no, i dont think that's true" he tries to defend himself, now putting his things in the small container and waiting for his signal to walk through the metal detector. the second he walks through the detector starts screeching loudly.
"sir im going to have to ask you to step aside" the security guard tells him, i hold back a laugh as charlie does what he's told.
"OH WAIT i know why it went off" he says as he's being searched, taking out something from his back pocket
"CHARLIE" i yell, covering my face with my hands. the security guard gives him an annoyed look.
"sir you can not bring a knife on a plane, im sorry im going to have to take that from you" the guard warns him before snatching it out of his hands, his face falling in disappointment.
he's searched once more by the security guard before being let through. he grabs his things quickly before grabbing my hand and taking off running.
"why on earth would you bring a KNIFE to the airport?!" i finally ask as we arrive to our gate, smacking his shoulder in the process.
"HEY have you read about the things that happen in florida?! i just wanted to be prepared!" he answers defensively, pouting as he rubs his shoulder.
"is that why we were late? you were looking for your box cutting knife?"
"yes and im not sorry about it"
i shake my head at his logic, finally feeling the nerves calm down as we board our plane and take our seats.
"olive, are you mad at me?" he asks, placing his hand on mine.
"no i'm not mad, i just can't believe you brought a knife to the airport" i whisper the last part so no one hears, causing him to laugh. he places a kiss on my forehead before wrapping his arm around me.
"safety first baby, safety first"
after an almost 4 hour plane ride, we finally land.
we grab our bags from baggage claim and take an uber towards our hotel. a mixed feeling of exhaustion and excitement running through me. i wasn't able to sleep on the plane because charlie is a nervous flyer and was squeezing the life out of my hand the whole trip.
but i am beyond excited to see our friends again. its only been about a month and it feels like its been a lifetime.
"owen says he's there already, he'll wait for us in the lobby" charlie says, taking my hand in his. i smile over at him, feeling the exhaustion go away knowing im about to see my best friend again.
we eventually arrive at the hotel, charlie and i get out of the car quickly. tired from sitting for so long. we take our luggage out and i practically run into the lobby.
i see two figures stand up from the other side of the room.
owen and kenny.
i leave my bags in the middle of the lobby and run towards a smiling owen, jumping up as i approach him as he catches me into a warm hug.
"i've missed you idiot" i say making him laugh before putting me down
"ive missed you too liv"
i smile and turn towards kenny, admiring his beachy outfit for the day.
"well kenny, arent you looking fabulous" i compliment him as i give him a hug.
"sweet, beautiful olivia, its good to see you again."
"no no, guys its okay, i got it dont worry. i dont need help" charlie says sarcastically as he places all our luggage down, panting as he tries to catch his breath.
i put my hand over my mouth to hold back a laugh, earning a glare from charlie.
"sorry i got excited" i shrug watching a small smile form on his face when i do.
"CHARLIE MY MAN" owen yells wrapping his arms around charlie and moving him side to side.
"owen stop saying that im your man"
"you can try and deny our love all you want but your lips at the wrap party said other wise" owen sasses back, raising his eyebrows at charlie. we all laugh loudly as the image of charlie and owen resurface in our minds.
"well you guys go leave your stuff in your rooms and freshen up, we'll be at the bar by the pool" kenny tells us, pushing owen out the doors that lead to the pool.
charlie and i check in and head towards our room. the minute we enter charlie throws himself on top of the bed like a child.
"mmm what if we stay in bed" charlie mumbles
"you can if you want to but i want to hang out with owen and kenny"
i see him pout as he turns himself over onto his back, extending his arms out.
"come here"
i try to keep a straight face as i walk over to him, feeling the blush rise to my cheeks as he pulls me onto him.
"i want to hang out with owen and kenny too but promise me we'll come back to this later" he says quietly, shivers coursing through my body as his fingers run up and down my spine.
"i promise" i say placing a kiss on his chest and getting off of him "lets get going lover boy"
we change into different clothes and make our way towards the bar were kenny and owen are at. i smile as we walk towards them, owen's eyes panic as they see us. charlie and i look at each other in confusion.
"hey guys" charlie says as we walk up to them. kenny smiles at charlie, placing an arm around him and sitting him down.
i walk over to the other side of owen, his stare glued to his water. i sit down on the other side of him, suspicious as to why he wont look my way.
"owen what did you do"
his eyes slowly drift over to me, uncertainty in his eyes.
"i need to tell you something you probably wont be a fan of"
i furrow my eyebrows in confusion, different possibilities of what he could say running through my head.
"tell me" i encourage, watching him take a deep breath before continuing.
"well savannah and i sort of got into a fight and well she's not coming"
"oh no, are you okay?"
"yeah yeah, im fine. i just well- this is the part im afraid of"
"what?" i ask, confused as to where this was going.
"well someone else offered to come instead of savannah and well-" he says as his eyes move from me to someone behind me.
"hi guys!" the voice says happily.
i dont even turn around, i stare at owen in disbelief.
"hi tori"
