His Explorer (TFIL)

PART 18

I woke up wrapped in brandons arms still. I roll over and run my fingers through his hair trying to  wake him up.

he stirred a little and groaned. he pulled me closer and layed in my chest.

I look over at elton "hey" I whisper a few times to wake him up. "mmm?" he groans "what time is our flight?" I whisper. "10am" he says. "what time is it?" I ask. he groans and reaches for his phone. "8" he says.  he sets his phone back down and covers back up. I trace my finger on brandons arm writing letters I lay there for a little while longer

I didnt want to get up, I like being in brandons arms it makes me feel safe...warm and happy...something I haven't been in a while.

I wiggle out of brandons grip carefully.

I get out of the bed and walk over to my duffle bag. I get out a pair of leggings and a sports bra. i get out my hair brush and stuff I need to get ready.

I pack everything else up that I dont need to get ready.

I take my things to the bathroom and lock the door. I turn on the shower and undress, getting in. I take a long hot refreshing shower

I get out and dry off.

I put on my clothes and brush my hair I French braid it in 2 braids

I brush my teeth and then grab my dirty clothes and tooth brush and hairbrush.

I walk out of the bathroom to see all the boys packing.

I put my clothes in my bag and my toothbrush in my bag aswell. I zip it closed and grabbed a hoodie that was laying there and put it on. Brandon looked at me still half asleep and smiled. "what?" I laugh. "looks better on you than me" he says.

he walks over and hugs me from behind as I pack my backpack. he dugs his head into my neck.

"can y'all quit flirting and pack" elton says 

Brandon lets go and walks over to his bag and grabs clothes and goes to the bathroom. I pack my last few things in my backpack  and sit on the bed.

I looked through the bed for my phone because I didnt know where I put it.

elton walks over and hands me my phone "what?" I ask as he was giving me a funny look.

"your phone rang" he says. "ok and?" I ask. Corey looks over at me. "whats wrong?"  "I answered it and it was mark."  he says. I take my phone out of Eltons hand "I blocked him. he must've git a new number" I say.

"who's mark?" Corbin ask.
"No one" I say. Corey gives me a funny look. "Stop looking at me like that!" I laugh.

Brandon comes out the bathroom with wet hair.

He put it in his little bun and packs his stuff in his bag. I grab my phone and put it in my pocket.
I put my backpack on my shoulders and grabbed my duffle bag. We double checked we weren't leaving anything and we headed out the hotel room to the elevator.

We all got in and headed down to the lobby to return our room keys. We then exited the building and headed for our rental car.

We put everything in the trunk and got in.

We headed to the airport rushing
We get there and get out and basically run to security "flight 827 to Los Angeles. This is the last call" the speakers boomed. We all looked at eachother and booked it to the gate just in time.
We have the lady our tickets "just on time guys" she laughs. We get on the plane and get ready for a long ass plane ride home

I was seated beside Corey.
I had my headphones in listening to music
Corey tapped my shoulder. I Pull a earbud out "yes?" I ask
"Can I talk to you?" He ask

"yea whats up?" I take the other earbud out

"whats going on with mark?"

"absolutely nothing" "why'd he call?" "Corey he texted me and I never responded so I guess he called." I look out the window "don't talk to him y/n, he's not good for you. don't you remember" he says. I look at him "of course I remember Corey. I remember everything" I say. "he litterly was so controlling and abusive. mentally and physically. he made you move in with him then he wouldn't let you leave. hes bad news. you got away y/n I'm begging you please don't good back. you are doing good right now, y/n you have me and Corbin. you have Elton again. you have Brandon" when he said that I smiled a little. a tear fell down my cheek "promise me you wont answer his text or calls." "why would I?" "you wouldn't but I don't want to see you in that shape again." he says. "I promise" I say and lay my head on coreys shoulder. "thank you" I whisper. "huh?" "thank you for being there for the past few years, you've always been one of my best friends and I dont know what id do without you corey." he smiles "your my Best friend to so...." I sit up and look at him

"what?' I laugh "tell me whats going on between you and Brandon" he whispers.

I look over the seat behind me "hey Corbin you want to trade seats with me? Corey talks to much" I laugh. Brandon and Corbin were sitting together. Brandon looks up from his phone and then looks back down

"No I'm good" Corbin laughs. I look at Corey and he laughs. "I don't talk to much and your avoiding the question." He says.

"There's nothing going on." I whispers "so y'all are just best friends that kiss?" He ask. "I
Don't know if he wants a relationship or wants to he with me." I whispers 
"Have you not seen the way he looks at you?" Corey ask. I laugh a little "the answer is I don't know what's going on to be honest" I say.

We exited the airport and walked to our car and threw all of our luggage in the trunk

we all piled into the car and headed to Eltons house.

-

we pulled into the driveway and I rushed to get out. I opened the trunk and I grabbed my duffle bag and backpack. elton unlocked the front door and I walked in and went to my room. I keyed my bags down and flopped down on my bed. "it feels so good to be home" I say

I get up and walk back out of my room to see everyone standing in the kitchen talking "im going to head home" Corbin says. "ok ill see you tomorrow?" elton ask and he says yea. "yea I probably should head home to" Corey says. I look at corey then at Brandon hoping he doesn't say hes gonna leave.

the front door opens and I jump. a girl walks in elton walks over and hugs her and kisses her. "y/n this is my girlfriend ginger" he introduces me to her. "hi, its nice to meet you" I smile and hug her. she returns the hug.

corbin and Corey walk out of the house after telling everyone bye.

elton takes his bags to his room with ginger following close behind. "I guess Im gonna head home to" he says. he wraps his arms around my waist and I wrap my arms around his neck as he hugs me.

"ill see you tomorrow?" he ask. I nod my head letting go of Brandon.

he heads for the door and I follow behind him. I stop him before he leaves and I grab his face and kiss him softly. I pull away and look him in the eyes. "bye Brandon. be careful." I smile with my face turning red. "bye y/n" he smiles and walks out the door

I shut the door behind him and go back to my room. I unpack my things and start getting situated.

after I finish I open my laptop and start editing instagram pictures.

there was a knock on the door.

"come in" I said. the door opened...
