A/N: 1.2k reads!? I'm giving you guys awesomeness awards! Enjoy! XD
Hazel's POV
I sat down on the designated seat on the plane. I felt tired and weary considering the fact that I barely got a wink of sleep last night.
All thanks to a certain someone.
I'm one messed up girl.
I exhaled deeply before laying my head back on the chair.
I decided to get us first class seats. I needed the rest. Celeste sat down across from me before giving me a knowing smile.
Sometimes it's annoying to have best friends you can't keep secrets from.
But if you're not going to tell them your secrets , I guess they can't be called a best friend.
Agh, life is weird.
Harley and Sophia sat om the aisle across from us and Harley wasted no time in calling the attention of the stewardess.
After trying to get some sleep ( key word here folks: trying. Sleeping on a plane is harder than it looks!) I gave up and decided to listen to my voicemail.
I put my headphones on and listened to the first one. It was from Tommy.
"Heya sis! Now just because you're some big shot in New York doesn't mean you get to forget about your younger brother over here in California! Just kidding. But seriously , come visit soon. I miss arguing. Peace and quiet ain't as amazing as it seems. bye!"
I smiled widely as I listened to his message. It was short and sweet, and it was adorable. Tommy wasn't actually such a bad guy.
I listened to the second voicemail. Again, it was from Tommy.
"Oh yeah, by the way, remember that spelling trophy you won in first grade? Well yeah I accidentally broke it. Some of the guys were over here the other night. In my defense I did absolutely nothing wrong except let them in your room. Y'know you might wanna postpone that visit for a while. Just until you forgive me. Bye!"
I take back about what I said earlier. He is a vicious , vile, horrible human being. My trophy? Come on! How many of you can say you won a spelling contest in first grade?
The third voicemail made my heart do a little back flip.
I momentarily forgot about my broken spelling trophy. I momentarily forgot about everything. All I could do was stare at the name on the screen.
With trembling hands, I clicked on it.
"Seriously? You ignore me for weeks , and the next thing I know your off in Paris. Real smooth Armada. I guess it's my fault now huh? For being so stupid. Not like you'd know. Bet you don't even know my favorite color, do you? Some friend you are. I guess I'll see ya when I see ya. Or maybe I won't. Whatever."
My throat felt dry. I removed my earphones and felt a tear fall down my cheek.
"Love is weird."
I turned my head and my eyes met Celeste's brown ones.
"What'd you mean?"
I shouldn't have spoken. My voice sounded weird. Like I'd been crying or something.
"Judging from your facial expression whatever you just listened to had something to do with Danny."
"I don't love him."
"Keep telling yourself that."
"I'm serious."
"So am I"
"Love is stupid."
"Love is amazing."
"Love is dangerous."
"No, love is risky."
"Love makes us weak."
"No" Celeste said softly.
"Love makes us vulnerable."
I swallowed hard. I had nothing to say to that.
"I don't want to get hurt."
"Neither does he. But you've already hurt him. "
"I didn't mean to."
"I'm sure you didn't."
"But I -"
"Sshh. You'll get it right. If you really love him."
"What if he doesn't love me back?"
"That's why it's called risky."
"I think dangerous is a better adjective for that."
"Shut up. And get some sleep you look like a frickin racoon."
"I do not look like a-"
Celeste shoved a mirror in my face.
"Good night!" I told her.
The next thing I knew I had fallen asleep.
****
"Hey you, get up!"
"I think she's dead."
"No she's not dead! She's in hibernation!"
"Shut up, she'll hear you."
"That's the point! We want her to wake up! The plane's landing already idiot."
"Right, Hazel wake up."
"Could you be any quieter?"
"Is that even a word?"
"Oh my God you guys need lessons on how to wake someone up. HAZEL! OPEN YOUR EYES!"
My head snapped forward and a sharp pain raced throughout my neck.
"Shit!" I cried out while running my poor injured neck.
"Now look what you've done! You gave her whiplash!"
"At least she's awake!"
"Shut up please." I said , giving my friends pleading looks.
Sophia stifled a laugh and handed me my suitcase.
I yawned and tried to comb my hair with my fingers. I probably looked like a wreck.
"Come on let's go. Almost all the passengers are out!"
I looked at all the rows of empty seats.
"What'd mean almost? Everyone's gone!" I shrieked in surprise.
"But were still here and were passengers now aren't we?"
Harley said sarcastically.
"Move your butt!" Celeste screamed at me. I got up and the four of us fled before we accidentally got shipped back to Paris.
Why is it called shipped anyways? Shouldn't it be called planed?
Philosophical thoughts later. Escape big fat plane now.
And we did.
Author's Note:
And chapter 37 is up. Ta-da. I'm planning to have Danny appear in the next chapter. It's been a while since we've seen him, don't you think?
Anyhoo,
