Mallory's pov:
I was off to a good start with sorting my shit and then I got a call from Alyssa, we hadn't talked in a bit and I NEEDED to fill her in on all the drama. Oh yea I also forgot to mention I made the last minute impulse to buy her a ticket to come with us. I have this master plan to set her up with Matt and make him like me again.. or at least tolerate me. We stayed up way to late cause I wanted a haul of absolutely everything she bought. Remember that spark of motivation I had a few hours ago? Absolutely gone. The next two days I spent all my time procrastinating packing. Meaning I laid in bed and watched Gilmore girls while getting fat and happy. Now it's the night before the trip and I'm STRUGGLING,

- 3 hours later-

I wipe the sweat bead off my forehead as I finally get my second big ass suitcase to zip. "Jesus Christ" I say outta breath. I managed to get 2 weeks worth of shit into 2 bags, literally a miracle. All that was left to pack was my carry on bag, (whatever I wanted to keep with me on my flight.) I put my charger, some lip balm, my passport ID and wallet, a sleeping mask, my AirPods, some hair ties, and some mini gummy worms (to calm down a jet lagged Nick a few hours into our 11 hour flight) all in the little backpack.

I look down at my phone to check the time
-2 am-

Perfect... I have to be up in 2 hours.. our flight is at 6 meaning we have to leave the house at 4 (an hour ride there and an hour to get through security and all that bs) so do I honestly even have 2 hours? I need to LEAVE at 4, not wake up... I guess I could just stay up and sleep on the plane, either way I'll probably sleep on the plans so might as well make it more desirable.

I decided to clean up my room and shit so that I don't have to do it when I get back. Nothing better then coming home to a clean house. Yawns escape my lips as I try to waste time. See when I'm with Chris 6 hours feel like 30 minutes and now that it's just me and my thoughts the hour and a half left to go feels like a decade.

Speak of the devil! New snap from Chris.

He doesn't immediately respond.. I'm
Bored again. I guess I could take a bath..

I run some warm bath water and get in, the waters so warm swear I can feel myself falling asleep. But yk I'm too hyped for this trip so we'll save drowning for another day. I sat and tried to read my book but all I can think about is the two weeks ahead of me.

I hear my phone ding and dry my hands off on the shower curtain to see who it is.

Chris: hiii, your awake!

: yea, I never went to sleep.

Chris: me either.. imy

: gross 🙄
: jp, Imym!

Chris: 1 more hour and we outttt

: literally geeked
What's Nick doing?

Chris: same as me, we couldn't sleep.

:Matt?

Chris: he's been dead since like 6pm

:shoulda known.

Chris: you could always just come over early 👀

:I'm actually in the bath rn, wasting time.

Chris: proof?

:Chris... you did not.

Chris: never saying that again.

:thank god.
I'll get dressed and head over tho

Chris: amazing. See you soon.

I'm not getting dressed rn. All the good shits packed away anyways.  I'll steal chriss clothes. I get in the car and head to there house.

"I'm hooomeeee" I yell walking through the front door. Nick and Chris are sitting on the coach invested in a conversation "Mallory please back me up and tell Chris that just because something says free, doesn't mean you have to take it" Nick says. "Nick it's literally free! What's the harm in taking it. It's. Free." Chris shoots back. "Because you don't NEED it Chris!" "Hm... elaborate" I say sitting down on the edge of the coach "this kid will see the most random junk on the side of the road and swear he needs it. Like a plastic tuba-ware container and all the sudden he's an American picker dying for a random ass plastic box with cigarette hols burned through the bottom" I laugh a little considering this is definitely not the conversation I expected to walk into. "I think your both sleep deprived and should be thankful Mathew is the one driving" I say still laughing.

Matt walks down stairs "we'll good morning sunshine" Nick says passive aggressively "I'll cut you." He says rubbing his tied eyes open "someone's crabby" Chris says jokingly. "Alright everyone load your shit in the car, make sure you have everything cause we're NOT turning around once we leave" Matt says heading into the laundry room.

Me and Chris go upstairs into his room so I can charge my phone a little more before we leave. He changes into his air port clothes of choice. He puts on his black and orange drew hoodie with black cargo pants. He walks over to me crossing his arms looking me up and down. He sees my crop too and shorts.. I just wore this until I could raid his closet.. "Hm.." he then goes back into his closet and and pulls out some cloths. He slides some clothes over my head and then stands back to admire his art work. "Perfect" he spins me around to look into the mirror.

"Chris..." "what?" "Are you serious?" "Dead ass" he smirks "I'll wear the hoodie but not this eskimo jacket" "suit yourself" he shrugs. He tries his best to not be over protective but i don't mind.

We load all of our things into the van and get inside. We all wave bye to the house like an old white suburban family and head to the airport. Me and Nick watched Baylen levin on his phone the whole time while Chris and matt talked about the tier difference in waffles and pancakes.

The ride wasn't long before we pulled up to the airport. We got our things and headed inside, Alyssa met up with us at security. We went through the whole security process until finally making it to the food court, (my favorite). Chris wanted Burger King so that's what we got!

@mall_peirce : too early for this.

It didn't take long for 6am to roll around and it was time to board. Alyssa sat in the window seat, me in the middle and, chris on my right with Matt and Nick sat in the seats right across from us with Matt closets to the isle. "I'm so tired I can't even hold my eyes open" I whisper to chris "then don't" he slides his arm behind my back and pushes my head to lean on his shoulder. "I'll wake you up when the plan catches on fire and we're all jumping off. Can't guarantee I can save you a parachute tho, your on your own with that one" I playfully hit his leg "don't say that!" Alyssa yawns and lays her head on my shoulder too "I'm with you girl, I didn't get any sleep. " she pulls her hoodie over her face and puts her AirPod in. It doesn't take her more then 2 minutes to fall asleep "No but actually, go to sleep babe, you look exhausted" "gee thanks" I say rolling my eyes. "In a cute way of course!" He kisses the top of my head as i drift off.

-6 hours later-

I open my eyes to find everyone else dead asleep, except for Matt. I look over and he's just sitting with his head phones on and his head leaned back, eyes still wide open. I figured he's not tired since he actually went to sleep. "Bernard" I whisper trying to get his attention. He looks over a little annoyed . I grab some of the gummy worms from my bag and hold them up. He reaches his hand out and I reach across Chris to give him some. He gives me a soft smile and puts his headphones back on. Progress. I ate a couple and saved the rest for when Nick wakes up. I lay my head back on Chris and try to get some more sleep.

-5 hours later-

A man comes over the Intercom "this is your captain speaking and I'm happy to inform you we have arrived in Hawaii! Thank you for traveling zip airlines." The biggest smile creeps up on everyone's faces at the news. This is going to be the best 2 weeks of my life.
