"Are you sure you don't want to come with us? You can meet Henry!" Ryan explained pulling me into a hug. Ryan and I basically act like a couple but we really haven't made it "official" yet.
I smiled and looked up at him. "Yes I'm sure. I would love to spend more time with you but I want to go see my family." I explained.
He frowned. "Fine.." He gave me a quick kiss before pulling back. Rachel, Andrew, and I walked toward the exit to the plane.
After a couple of steps Ryan pulled me back into yet another hug and gave me a longer kiss. Behind me I could hear Myah fan-girl screaming. After he let me go we continued walking away again.
The three of us waved to all of them before boarding the plane. We took our seats and Andrew loaded our luggage into the over-head storage thing. I took the window seat and Rachel sat in the middle leaving the aisle seat for Andrew.
"So I was wondering." Rachel said, turning to Andrew. "Who all lives in that house?"
"Miles, Dylan, Logan, Ryan and I." He told her.
She nodded in understanding. "Do you guys fight a lot? Cause Autie and I do."
He smiled at her and shrugged. "Eh. Sometimes. Logan and I are brothers so we have sibling rivalry. But other than that everyone seems to get along."
Rachel was about to say something the flight attendant's voice rang throughout the plane. "Good morning ladies and gentleman. The plane will be taking off shortly so if you could turn off all electronic devices that would be great." Everyone in the plane proceeded to turn off laptops, phones, tablets, ect. And buckling their seat belts.
"I can't get the damn clasp." Rachel growled.
Andrew and I chuckled. "Here." He said taking the buckle from her hands and clipping her in easily.
She smiled slightly, looking down and blushing. "Thanks." She mumbled.

We still had half an hour to go and by now I was extremely bored of playing games on my phone.
I directed my gaze over to were Rachel and Andrew were sleeping. Andrew was sitting upright while Rachel was sprawled out across all three seats. Here legs were curled up on Andrew's lap and her head was placed on my lap.
I wish I could go to sleep on this crummy plane. I'm just not comfortable enough. We all had to wake up at six in the morning in order to pack everything up and make it to our flight on time. Everyone here was tired to no extent.
I was just about to try and go to sleep again when I got a text from Ryan.
Ryan😱: Hey Boo! Just wanted to tell you to have fun and text me when you get there!! Wuv u! <3
I rolled my eyes and laughed while replying. Lol okay wuv u 2 <3
I put my phone in my pocket before leaning back and finally falling asleep. I was awaken when the flight assistance sounded.
"Good evening passengers. The plane will land at the gate in about five minutes. Once again I would like to ask you to please shut off all electronic devices. Thank you for flying with us today."
I shook Andrew and Rachel, who was still laying on us. They both sleepily rubbed their eyes and sat up.
"What's the big idea?" Rachel grumbled.
"We're landing turn off your phones." I smiled at her but she just glared.
They both turned off all their electronics before buckling up again. "Excuse me passengers, but we are experiencing some minor turbulence while landing. Nothing to worry about but it will take a little longer to land." The flight attendant said with a smile before literally running into the back room.
"Way to make us feel safe." Andrew muttered.
The plane started to shake. Now, Rachel hates heights. So she did much better than I thought she was going to do. She grabbed one of my hands and grabbed on to one of Andrews hand. Pulling her knees up to her chest a few tears streamed from her eyes.
Andrew stared at their hands for a few seconds before looking at me. I winked at him and watched him blush.
He leaned in and whispered something into her ear. She seemed to calm down a bit. Rachel nodded to him before releasing my hand (although still holding onto Andrew's hand). I smirked slightly before leaning back in my seat and squeezing my eyes shut.
~*~
(Andrew's P.O.V.)
Rachel looked like she was about to puke within seconds of the first shake. I felt bad for her. I've been on planes a billion of times before so I'm used to it by now, but she seemed the opposite.
When she gripped my hand I felt like my whole face turned red. Her soft skin was actually touching my hand. Screw it, even if she looks at me I fall apart.
I looked over at Autie for help. I knew Autie could tell I was into her. I just hope she hasn't said anything to Rachel. If she did, Rachel hasn't said anything. Autie winked at me wear a little smirk.
I sighed quietly and leaned back in my seat. I decided to try and make Rachel feel better. I leaned over to her ear and whispered to her. "Hey, trust me everything is going to be alright. This happens all the time and there's really nothing to worry about. If something was wrong I would tell you. So let go of Auties hand cause I think your crushing it." She stared at me with wide eyes before I continued. "You can still hold onto my hand if you want. Are you okay with that?" She nodded and let go of Auties hand.
I smiled as she put up the arm rest in between us and leaned on me. I slung my arm around her shoulders. "You okay?" I whispered.
"I'm fine thank you." She whispered laying her head on my shoulder.
Every time the plane shook Rachel would tense up. But each time she got better. Finally we landed at the gates.
When we got off the plane she hugged me. "I literally thought I was gonna die!" She laughed leaning against Autie slightly.
Autie patted her on the back. "Maybe next time Rachel." Rachel playfully glared at her and punched Autie in the arm.
"So what now?" I asked Autie. She had it all planned out with her parents but she wouldn't tell me on the plane cause she was "to busy" listening to her music.
"My mom should be around here somewhere." She muttered looking around.
All the sudden we heard Autie's name be called from behind us. "Autie! Rachel!" We turned around and I saw a young looking woman hug Rachel and Autie.
"Hi mom!" Autie greeted tightly hugging her back.
"Rachel! How are you? Have you gotten a steady man yet or are you still doing flings?" Autie's mom smiled, placing a hand on Rachel's shoulder.
Rachel laughed. "Nice to see you mom. But no more flings for now. I kind of want a serious relationship for once." All the girls laughed while I just stood behind them awkwardly.
"Oh! Mom!" Autie Jumped. "This is Andrew. He's Rachel and i's friend." She smiled and winked at me and Rachel.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Parker." I held out a hand for her to shake.
instead of shaking my hand, she pulled me into a tight hug. I looked at Autie and Rachel who were holding in their laughter. "In this family, we hug. And call me Susan honey!" Susan insisted. Now I know where Autie got her personality from.
but honestly they looked nothing alike. Autie had blonde hair and Susan had brown hair. Autie had pale blue eyes while her mom had dark green. And Susan was naturally pale, while her daughter had a more tan complexion .
"Threesome?" Susan joked, whispering to the girls..
"Mom!" Rachel yelled! "No he's just our friend!" Now they were all laughing so hard people were staring. Meanwhile my whole face was red of embarrassment.
"Okay so I was thinking that before we go home all four of us could go maybe grab a bite to eat? its almost noon." Susan suggested, motioning toward a limo. Standing in front of the limo was a driver with a sign that said "Parker". I never knew Autie was rich..
the girl shrugged. "Sure I could eat." they all started to walk away and I slowly followed. Rachel hung back after a couple of steps to walk by me.
"Isn't Susan great?" Rachel asked me excitedly.
I smiled at her. Every time I looked at her I smiled. She was just so... Perfect. "Yeah. At least now I know where Autie gets her energy."
she laughed. "No kidding. I grew up around Susan so she's basically my mom."
In the distance we could hear Susan yelling at the limo driver. "I requested the black limo to pick us up! not the white one! We're going to a restaurant, not a prom! go get the black one from home please!"
I paused for a few seconds, thinking. "Someday will I ever get to meet your parents." I asked her.
I saw her stiffen. "Uh, no. My dad ran away when I was little and my mom was arrested for attempting murder, so I don't even go around my parents anymore." she had a smile on her face that showed smallest bit of sadness.
I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into an awkward sort of side hug. "I'm sorry Rachel. I really shouldn't have asked."
she shrugged. "No its okay I'm just glad you didn't make fun of me like all the others." she laid a head on my shoulder and made sure that my hand didn't move from her waist. I tried not to blush. But Its about time I get some Physical affection from this girl.
