CURRENTLY UNDER RE-WRITE Stupid For You [E. 'Hawk' Moskowitz]

ONE.

  Although Dylan was excited about moving in with her Aunt and cousin, she couldn't help but feel nervous about the fact she was moving away from her whole life in less than four hours. She got into the front seat of her dad's car, waving goodbye to her friends as they drove past their apartment complex. She sighed and pulled out her phone, looking to see who texted her.

Demetri:

Hey, can't wait for you to get here, see you soon.

She smiled at her cousin's text before typing a response of her own.

Dylan:

See you soon Demi!

She smiled. She knew Demetri had always hated that nickname, which is why she called him that. She sighed as she put her phone away and she closed her eyes. She sat with her dad in complete silence as the sun rose behind them.

"So, you excited to be living with Stacy and Demetri?" Her dad turned to her and asked. She nodded in excitement.

"Yeah, I haven't seen him in a couple years, so it'll be nice to see my little cousin again." She said. She knew she was already going to pester him about that, to which he would reply with the same snarky comment he always does.

"Well, you know Stacy works long hours so there won't be a lot of parents around, so just promise me you won't do anything too stupid alright?" Her dad said as he turned and looked at her in her eyes. She sighed.

"Yes dad, I won't do anything stupid." She said rolling her eyes at him. Her dad was not too keen on the idea of his daughter staying with his baby sister for at least a year, knowing she won't be there to keep an eye on her because of work schedules. Her dad distracted himself by turning on the radio. He let Dylan have the AUX cord, in which she played one of his favorite songs, Come Sail Away by Styx. They both sat in silence as they drove down the highway. The airport wasn't a bad drive away from where they lived, so when they got there her dad parked and got her stuff out of the trunk. She tried to pack almost all her belongings with her, and ended up taking two giant suitcases, and one small carry on backpack. Her dad sighed and placed the suitcases on the ground and she grabbed one and he took the other. They walked in and stood in line to get her ticket. When they got her ticket, they both walked to security, where they would be saying their goodbyes.

"Please be careful alright? Once I get stationed somewhere, we can try to talk on the phone." Her dad said and she nodded. She and her father weren't always the closest with him being in the army, but ever since her mom left them a few months ago and him finishing a mission overseas, they became closer once he came home. She stood on her tiptoes and hugged him, hiding her teary eyes in his shoulder. He pulled her back, examining her face as her tears were getting harder to hold.

"I promise dad, I love you." She said and he bent down to kiss her forehead. She sighed before going into security. She looked at her dad one last time when she was finished, and grabbed her carry-on and walked away. Once they were ready to board, she got up and walked into the plane. She found her seat, thankfully getting one by the window, and putting her backpack on the floor and pulling out her headphones. She played a song but didn't even care to listen to the lyrics,  being drowned out in her head by all her nerves. She closed her eyes, letting the plane start to go up.
