Chapter 34: Silent Night

Y/Ns POV

We made our way through the terminals, walking in and out of stores for no reason but to kill time. Corbyn seemed to be having the time of his life in the cologne area of the stores, walking around with 6 pieces of paper and spraying as many scents onto each as he could. Myself and the rest of the guys just watched from afar, observing his every move. He poked his head over the displays every once in a while. Sometimes when Corbyn looked at Jack, they would jump and tap their feet together mid-air, pretty impressive if you ask me.

Jack didn't want his hoodie back after I used it to sleep in, I tried to give him it back because he looked cold but he refused. Whilst in the shopping area of the airport, we went to go get food before our flight. After a long time of debating, we decided to go to Subway, Zach and Jack's choice of course. We sat in a semi-circle booth in a food court area and had a bit of catch-up time after we had finished eating.

"So Y/N, how did you find performing?" Jonah asked as he put his phone upside down on the table.
"It was good, would've been ever better if I knew what song I was singing but yeah, it was good" I said sarcastically. I couldn't go a day without being sarcastic or sassy, the boys were used to it though, they laughed it off.
"We will have a song ready for you next time you perform" Daniel reassured me.

I spent some time in between conversations to look at my Instagram and twitter feed to keep updated with the world, feels like a lifetime since I last went on my accounts. My instagram was flooded with tags, they consisted of edits/drawings of myself and the boys or reposts of my pictures. It was fun liking their pictures and commenting on a few because it is interesting to see their reactions as they freak out to their friends. I held up my snapchat and put it to Corbyn's face whilst he wasn't looking so that I could get a funny picture of him, he found it a moment later and made it his twitter profile picture, typical.

We sat around the booth for longer than we thought. Our flight was said to be departing in 1 hour, meaning we had to be there 30 minutes ago. "Guys.." I said faintly.
"GUYS!" I said afterwards, raising my voice so that they would pay attention to me.
"WHAT! What! What is it Y/N?" Corbyn replied, clearly startled as I suddenly stood up.
"You know that we needed to be at our gate 30 minutes ago right?" I said with my hands on the table and half stood up. The boys looked at me in disbelief.
"Grab the bags" Jonah said as he began to stand up and make his way out of the booth.
It was now a race against the clock to get to our gate which was on the other side of the airport. We sprinted past shops and we sprinted past passengers in the terminals, looking at us in shock as we travelled swiftly with looks of determination on our faces. Since I was the fastest runner, I grabbed my boarding pass from Jonah and sprinted forward to the gate. I was far away from the boys now but I had to stop this gate for them otherwise we wouldn't make it to Chicago.

I was gasping for air when I finally reached the gate.
"Boarding pass please" the woman at the gate said with a smile plastered across her face
"Here.. um my friends are just back there, can we wait until they arrive? I sprinted ahead to be here"
"Of course" she replied kindly.
"Thank you.. thank you so much" I heaved.
I saw the boys in the distance and the came running fast towards me.
"Here, here" Jonah said as he handed over their boarding passes.
"Alright, just head on through to the plane, you were lucky as we don't normally let people into the plane this late" she said with an annoyed tone. I looked at her with my head tilted and my eyebrows furrowed in disbelief that she said that.

We discovered our seats, we had claimed the whole middle row of second class. The chairs had much more space and a shield that could be raised to separate you from the person that sits next to you.
I collapsed into my chair and sighed.
"I swear, why does this only happen to us?" I said with a slight laugh as I looked left and right at the guys who were all sat in a row on both of my sides.

I felt a sudden jolt and a tug at both of my arms. "Y/N! Y/N please!" Corbyn started to tear up. I sat up quickly and turned around frantically to see everyone around me in the brace position. We were falling out of the sky.
"Corbyn what's happening?!" I cried.
"Keep your head down Y/N, you'll be okay I promise"
And so I did, I put my head down to my knees and prayed for the best.
