Banessa followed Ashton onto the plane, myself right behind her, us all searching for our seats.

We were all already tired, it was about to be midnight and we would be flying for twenty hours and then thrown into Australia Thursday morning, which was actually Wednesday night for us.

We all got situated in our seats, buckling the seatbelts after putting our bags up.

Within thirty minutes we were taking off and in the air, on our way to meet our families.

Vanessa.

Sleeping was absolutely impossible.

My body could never get comfortable and it was miserable.

Also, there were men everywhere around me and you'd think I'd be okay with that due
to being in the middle of Luke and Ash, but every time they walk down the isle and I make eye contact with them, I get that normal nervous feeling.

I looked to Luke, seeing that he was sleeping, making me throw my head back, wanting to groan, but I held back.

I soon saw Calum stand from in front of us, smiling as we made eye contact.

He came to us, rolling his eyes at Luke and Ashton's sleeping bodies.
"Come sit with us, we have an extra seat."

He helped me get out without waking Luke, before I let him lead me to their seats, where I sat in the middle of a wide awake Michael and Calum.

We played I Spy, we listened to music, and we sat there completely bored at points.

"We're going to be so fucking tired when we get to Australia."
I watched Calum dig through his bag for a second before pulling out a bottle of pills.

"I knew they'd come in handy" he shook the bottle with a smile.

"What is it?" I asked as he set one in my hand.

"Sleeping medicine" he answered with a wink.

At the sound of that, we all took the pill, waiting on results.

I leaned my head against Calum's shoulder- feeling his head hit my own.

And I don't even remember falling asleep

Luke.

I woke up- seeing a missing Vanessa
Before I panicked I got up, going to the guys seats, seeing her sleeping against Calum.

I focused to her- seeing her flushed cheeks, making me immediately touch her cheek- her body waking up immediately with a jump.

"You're okay" I immediately spoke as her hand went to her chest, telling me it was a nightmare.

"Come with me" I whispered- not wanting to wake cal or mike.

I walked her to the bathroom- giving her a hug, where she immediately held me back.

"You okay?" I asked her, pushing her hair out of her face.

"Yeah- just a bad dream"

After making sure she was calm, I walked her back to our seats, sitting with her, where she held my arm to her chest.

I noticed her visibly fighting sleep, which raised some barriers for me- "did cal give you something to sleep?" I questioned, seeing her give me an immediate nod.

I exhaled, thankful that, that was the problem.

"Sleep it off baby, you're safe- I'll stay awake" I spoke, kissing her head gently.

I felt her head hit my shoulder, her arms hugging my own arm tighter.

"I love you" She spoke- and I almost jumped to my feet, nothing but excitement.

"You told me-" she smiled as she looked to my face, making me almost break down into tears in the middle of all these people

"I love you so much baby"
