Jake's POV

"Bro shut up she may be still awake in there!" Seth argued.
"You should just tell her how you feel." I state.
"But your her brother, aren't you supposed to be over protective or something shit?"
"Bitch I don't know, I have a mindset of a fucking hamster." I noted.
"You make you point actually." Seth replied.
"I'll just ask her out after the trip, she is just going through a lot after what happened and I don't want to put pressure on her." He added.
"You make such a huge point. All I know is, she hasn't fell in love for year's, so I suggest letting her take the time to readjust." I advised.
"How long has it been since she fell love?" Seth asks.
"Since high school started, she figured that she didn't someone in her life." I state sighing.
"You said someone, not a man, she's bisexual?"
"Yea why, that you knew that already?"
"I never knew that, I support all the way though."
"Alright just making sure. Anyways, you have to tell her how you feel. You understand her Seth, just go for it. Here you look, after the trip, you ask her out." I state putting my hand on his shoulder.
"Fine, but you have to help me with this one." He noted.
I nod in response.
I walk into my room and Y/N is sound asleep. I hope she didn't hear any of that.

Seth's POV

I walk back to the living room and think about my feelings for Y/N. Maybe I can ask her out when we go exploring on our own. Maybe to that one abandoned train station back in California. Just me thinking about her makes me go crazy. Maybe I should wait for the perfect time. I don't even know anymore. She's just so perfect. Being around her makes me feel safe, comforted, and warm inside. Everything about her is just so perfect.
I lay down on the couch looking up the ceiling.
What if she hates me? What if she rejects me!? I rush my hands through my hair with slight anger. Then I pause. What if she does like me?
I'm just over thinking this am I? Usually when I have rings for someone, I overthink and they actually despise me. The only I actually trusted and loved someone was back in high school. Weeks later she cheated on me with high school quarterback. I was never the same after that. Something about Y/N though makes me feel warm and welcomed. I should sleep now that I think about it. All these things make me stressed out.
My eyes begin to go heavey. I couldn't hold it much longer and I fell asleep.

~Time Skip to when they have to leave for the flight~

Someon begin to poke at me. My eyes open and it was Sam.
"Wake up, its 5:00 AM, we have to leave for our flight." He states shaking me.
"Alright man cut it off, I'm awake now." I joke.
I got up from the couch and head up to my room and grab my backpack and then headed back downstairs.
I then see Y/N heading down the stairs and they have headphones in.
I walk up to her and tap her shoulder.
"Oh hey Seth."
"I just wanted to ask how you holding up?" I ask.
She pauses.
"To be honest, terrible." She states.
"You wanna talk about it when we head to the airport?" I ask.
"Maybe when we head to California, then yea we can. I just need time to recover." She noted putting her headphones back in and walking away.
I can tell she wants to be alone for awhile. I just wanted to hold her in my arms.

Everyone came downstairs and we headed to airport. It was a small walk after all. It was quite calming too. Y/N was walking behind us on her phone. I would look behind just to check if she's okay or not.

We arrived to the airport and gave our tickets to the attendance and put out stuff on the conveyer belt. Jake and I were filming Tik Toks as everyone else joined in. Y/N joined in and jumped on Jake's back. When got out stuff back, Jake was giving Y/N a piggyback ride. She was still listening to music.

"Just imagine if she falls asleep on his back." Colby jokes.
I laugh.

We walked onto the plane and Jake sat next Nate, and I sat next to Y/N. Colby, Kat, and Sam sat all in the same row.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jane Lynch and I will be your flight attendant today! Have a wonderful flight to California!"

I was feeling tired again and I leaned my head on Y/N's shoulder. She didn't make any notice of it and continued to scroll through Tik Tok. Her FYP was mostly those vent posts. I can relate to that. My FYP was mostly Tik Tok celebrities. Mostly ones I hate though.
The flight took off and my eyes begin to be even more heavey.
"You can sleep on my shoulder you know?" She states fluffing my hair.
I nod in response.
Best sleep ever I say.
