NEIGHBORS • Why Don't We

Chapter: 20

Chapter song: First flight home by jake miller

two weeks later:

I zip up my small suitcase and make sure I have everything I need in my carry on backpack. The doorbell rings and I check the monitor then press the button to unlock the door. Jack and Daniel walk up the stairs and enter my room.

 "Hey Ar" Daniel says. "Hey Dani." I reply with a smile. "Ready to go babe?" Jack asks. I nod and grab my suitcase and slip on my backpack. We walk downstairs and I say goodbye to Max then walk over to the boys house to load everything up.

 Once we get everything into the van we pile in and drive to the airport. We say goodbye to the boys as our flights are called. Once our flight are called we walk toward our terminal and board the plane. Jack looks over at me. 

"My mom and sisters are really excited to meet you." He smiles. I blush lightly and smile. "Really?" I ask shyly. He nods. He wraps his arm around me and I lay my head on his shoulder as the plane takes off. After awhile I my eyes start to get heavy and I end up drifting off to sleep.

5 hours later

Im awoken by someone shaking me. "Ari, wake up were here." Jack says gently. My eyes flutter open and I yawn. I grab my backpack and we exit the plane and go to baggage claim to get our other bags. I grab my suitcase and Jack grabs his then his phone starts ringing. 

He answers it. "Hello?" He says. "Yeah we just picked up our bags and we're walking towards the exit." He says and nods his head to follow him. He leads me out the doors and I hear someone yell Jack's name. We both look over to see a woman walking towards us, enveloping Jack in a big hug. 

"I missed you so much." She says. "I missed you too mom." He replies, hugging her tightly. They part and she grins at me. "Mom this is my girlfriend Aria. Aria this is my mom Kristin." He says smiling. "Nice to meet you." I smile. She hugs me and smiles. 

"My goodness your gorgeous." He grins. I blush and thank her. We put our bags in the car and pile in, making conversation while we drive back to their house. Once we get there a little girl runs out and leaps into Jacks arms.

 "Jack!" She squeals and hugs him, "Oh my gosh you get bigger every time I see you Isla!" He grins. The sight of this makes me grin. Its so adorable. She jumps down from his arms and looks up at me. She gasps. 

"Is this the girl you said looks like a princess?" She asks, looking up at Jack. I look at him and his cheeks go red. "That was supposed to be our secret Isla." He says playfully. She giggles and runs inside. I smile and we walk in after her.

 I meet the rest of Jack's sisters and we set our bags in his room. He gives me a tour of the house then we go out for an early dinner. Its cool seeing some of his town, where he grew up. Dinner was amazing.

 After we get back a few of his friends come over and I get to meet them and watch them play basketball. Jack is really good at basketball, and I learned that he played before he joined WDW. Soon it gets dark out and we go inside and I play with Isla for a while before she has to go to bed.

 After she goes to bed Jack and I watch a movie with Ava. It feels great to spend time with them. I've always wanted siblings, sisters to be precise. After the movie ends its pretty late. Jack and I walk back to his room and get clothes out to sleep in as well as our toothbrushes and contacts stuff. 

I go to the bathroom and change while Jack changes in his room. I open the door once I'm done and Jack comes in to brush his teeth. I take my contacts out and slip my glasses on then I go into Jack's room and put my clothes away.

 He comes in and grabs a pillow and blanket then heads for the door. "Where are you going?" I ask. "Im gonna sleep on the couch, you take my bed." He replies. I furrow my eyebrows. "Jack don't be silly its your room, you only get to sleep in your bed when you come to visit.

 Let me take the couch." I say. He shakes his head and sets the pillow and blanket down. He comes over and wraps his arms around my waist. "Babe, you are not sleeping on the couch. Sleep in my bed I really don't mind." He says, looking into my eyes. 

I sigh and give in. He grins, knowing he's won. He pecks my lips and leaves the room, shutting the door behind him. I plug my phone in and lay down. These past two weeks have been a little crazy but its been pretty easy to manage. 

I finished the project with Matt and D-Trix and I finished my song. Im recording for the bed stock festival once we get back. If all goes well I'm going to record it as a single, maybe even a music video. I guess it depends what people want to see. Jeff started to manage me too. Dance is ending soon unfortunately.

 I didn't get a lot of class time but it was nice to be a part of one of my dream schools, even if it was just for a short amount of time. I yawn and shut the light off, getting comfortable in bed. I nuzzle my head into the pillow and close my eyes, falling into a nice deep sleep.
