Well that’s all of them. Now there’s just him left.
And just as I looked up, he stepped onto the plane. His eyes were looking down as he walked on, not bothering to look at anyone.
I held my breath as he walked past me and held my breath in anticipation as he stopped in front of me for a second too long.
Staring straight ahead, he shook his head, before walking off to find his seat. I guessed that Landon, Max and Tyler had told him that I wasn’t on the plane.
I let out a huge sigh and was just about to walk off, before realizing I still had to greet like a hundred more passengers. Oh joy…
Did you see that guy ? Oh my gosh he was smokin’ ! Jen said to Stacey, referring to Nathan.
I clenched my hands into fists, anger suddenly filling me. Wait, hold on there. Have I become an overly-attached girlfriend ? Oh no…
I know right ! I’d definitely tap that. Stacey agreed, staring down the aisle at him longingly.
Aren’t you two a bit too old to be saying that about a nineteen year old ? I couldn’t help but let out bitterly at the two girls that were becoming two tempting punching bags real fast.
I relaxed slightly as they looked down in shame, realizing I was right. After all, they were like eight years older than him. And he was mine. He was being an ignorant idiot, but he was still mine…
It felt like years once the last person finally stepped onto the plane, causing me to fight back the urge to do a happy dance. I probably would’ve if Dustin were here…
Just as I turned to face Jen and Stacey to see what to do next, they were already walking down the aisles, helping people with their luggage and fixing seats. I noticed Johnny doing this too.
Deciding not to stand around and attract unneeded attention to myself, I walked down an aisle and started doing the same.
After about ten minutes of this, a voice overhead spoke out.
Attention all passengers, we will be taking off in about seven minutes. Please take a seat and fasten your seat-belts. Thank you for choosing Coast to Coast.
I followed Johnny, Stacey and Jen to a little area for the flight attendants and watched as they each pulled out a seat from the wall and strapped themselves in. I quickly followed suite.
Another day, another flight. Jen said in an unenthusiastic tone.
Oh cheer up would ya ? Johnny teased.
I grinned at the two, before leaning back against the wall and closing my eyes. Time to catch up on that sleep that Nathan had interrupted. And of course as his name came into my mind, my thoughts drifted to that son of a gun boy that had managed to kidnap my heart.

TYLER’S POV
How much longer till we get there ? Landon whined for the billionth time from my left.
Dude, it’s only been like fifteen minutes. Max replied back from my right.
I had been stuck sitting between these two idiots unfortunately. We were in the middle aisle, while Nathan and Ryland were to the right of us, sitting where there were only two seats.
And how long is the flight ? Landon proceeded his question.
Like three hours. Max shrugged.
Landon let out a groan, leaning back in his seat.
Yo have you played Flying Bieber yet ? Max asked Landon now, leaning forward so he could see him.
No, but I’ve played Flying Cyrus. Landon shrugged.
Dude ! You are totally missing out. Max shook his head, before pulling out his phone.
What’s so great about it ? Landon asked back.
See for yourself. Max said as he handed his phone to Landon, reaching over me.
Have you played- Max started asking me but I cut him off.
No. And no I don’t want to play it. I answered with a scowl.
Such a Debbie-downer. It’s not good for you bro, you need to live. Max shook his head at me.
I’m sorry that I don’t find it entertaining to tap a phone to make some ridiculous celebrity hop through objects. I rolled my eyes at him.
Max just glared back, not having a come back. Psh. Was all he settled for, shaking his head.
Dude, this does not even look like him. Landon said as he continued playing.
Uh, yes it does. Turn up the volume. Max ordered.
Why ? Landon asked as he did so.
I rolled my eyes as the game went ‘swag’ each time Biebs’ head went through the microphone and pole.
Awe man ! That’s sick ! I’m downloading this for sure. Landon exclaimed with a grin as he continued playing.
Try to beat my high score. Max challenged him.
Before I could hear Landon’s reply, I pulled on my headphone’s and blasted some nice dubstep, muting out the whole world.
******** NATHAN’S POV ********
I stared out the window, letting out a sigh. I had been trying so hard to get her out of my head, but it wasn’t really working. I knew I had to be focused one hundred percent for the plan to work out, but I couldn’t ignore the pain in my chest right now. I had been disappointed when I saw Tyler, Landon and Max come along on board, but they had insisted to fight alongside me. A small flicker of hope in me had died down when they’d told me that Skylar was already on her way home. But it was for the best, so I refused to be a selfish jerk and wish that she’d be on this plane. She had her own life to live and I couldn’t keep her away from it. But on the other hand, having Tyler, Landon, and my brother with me still didn’t erase the guilt and fear of having one of them hurt as it would fall on my hands. I knew I could protect them all though, and they were pretty capable themselves.
I looked up abruptly as a flight attendant walked by quickly. I narrowed my eyes as a sense of familiarity took over me.
Could it be…
No. I was obviously missing her too much, there was no way she could have knocked out a flight attendant on her own.
I relaxed back into my seat, looking out the window. My eyes uncontrollably swept back to her and I watched as she walked on ahead and froze as she stumbled slightly in her heels. Something suddenly snapped as I watched closely. That little stumble had triggered something.
I had been right.
~~~~ SKYLAR’S POV ~~~~
Taking in a deep breath to calm my nerves, I started walking in what I hoped was a human pace. Johnny had told me to go down to the front of the plane to get a basket of headsets. I had been chosen to hand them out unfortunately.
