Chapter 18
Billie’s P.O.V
as we were boarding the plane I turned to look at Grace, she looked sort of nervous and had grabbed Tre’s hand, I understand I mean she’s never been on anything like this before, I just hope she doesn’t have an anxiety attack, I hate seeing her when she goes through it.
‘It’s okay Grace, it’s just going to be us on it’ I looked over to see Tre trying to reassure her, she just nodded as we entered, as we did I heard Grace gasp,
‘WOW!’ she began walking round and examining everything
‘It’s huge!’ she sounded more relaxed and actually quite excited, I giggled and sat down near a window, Tre and Mike sat across on the other side, and Grace came and sat opposite me, she 'had the biggest smile I had ever seen
‘Excited?’ I asked still giggling
‘Yeah! When do you perform again?’ I was happy she had settled down and wasn’t nervous anymore
‘In 3 days, we can do some sightseeing and that’ her smile grew, which I didn’t think was possible
‘I CANT WAIT!!!’ she almost burst with excitement which caused me to laugh even more
‘Good’ was all I managed to say, with that that captain came on over the speaker and told us about our flight would be, and began to take off, but as soon as the plane started moving Grace’s face dropped instantly,
‘Grace it’s okay I promise’ I smiled at her but she didn’t seem to change her expression, she began fidgeting and clenching her hands, I could see by her face she was beginning to panic but didn’t want me to see
Shit, what should I do? I don’t want to make a big fuss about it, because I really don’t think she wants that, but I don’t want her to suffer panicking to herself
‘Do you have the time to listen to me whine, about nothing and everything all at once’ I began singing, she looked up and starred confused for a minute, Tre and Mike looked over too
‘I am one of those melodramatic fools…’ I carried on singing, this time the guys joined in
Grace’s panic seemed to fade and now she looked a lot more relaxed
‘Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it’ she whispered finishing the line, I smiled at her, and a small smile flickered across he lips, the plane was still moving towards the run way
‘Sometimes I give myself the creeps, sometimes my mind plays tricks on me’ we were all singing together, Grace was singing as well and looked to be enjoying herself again, I looked out the window to see that in a minute we would be accelerating to take off, and I knew that that’s when she would really panic
‘Okay now let’s go fucking crazy!’ I yelled, the guys cheered and Grace was giggling
‘IT ALL KEEPS ADDING UP, I THINK I’M CRACKING UP, AM I JUST PARANOID OR AM I JUST STONED?!’ we all shouted as loud as we could, including Grace and when I looked out, the plane was in the air, I smiled a little victory smile to myself, but looked up to see Grace looking at me confused
‘What do you think?’ I asked smiling and signalling her to look out the window,
‘Oh my god! It’s amazing!’ she looked out wide eyed, I smiled to myself
‘Hey Grace Wanna watch a movie?’ Tre ran up smiling
‘Sure!’ she agreed and ran back with Tre to the screen
Mike came over and sat with me
‘How’s Grace doing?’ he asked
‘She seems to be fine, might have to sing again on the landing’ I laughed, mike laughed too
