adelaides point of view

my phone randomly started ringing at 1:21 am. 

"hello?" i groggily answered, not checking the ID.

"adelaide! she's coming! are you able to fly out?" elena asked me. i jumped out of bed as fast as i could, waking ethan up while doing so.

"oh my gosh! i'll be there in 6 hours tops." i said. i talked to her for a few minutes before we hung up.

i told ethan what was going on and he helped me pack.

in the past week, my schedule has been very hectic so i got a personal assistant. she doesn't live with me or anything but she texts me in the morning and tells me if i have any meetings, shoots, plans, etc for each day. she helps me with scheduling.

i texted madison and told her to cancel the shoot that i knew i had today and to reschedule the meeting i was supposed to have.

ethan called his parents and asked if we could use the jet. they obviously agreed.

ethan had driven back home to get some stuff before we left.

"ad?" colby asked knocking on my door.

"yeah, you can come in." i answered softly

"what're you packing for?" he asked me as he sat on my bed. our bed.

"elena is going into labor. i have to fly out in about half an hour." i said

"oh wow. i wish i could be there for her." he said. elena and colby were pretty close considering she was just my little sister.

"i'm sure she'd love if you were there. why don't you fly out with us?" i asked him

"are you sure ethan would be okay with that? i would love to but i don't want to make him uncomfortable." colby said, sweetly.

man this boy is really nice

"well you'd be going for elena, not for me. if he has a problem with it then he can suck it up." i said laughing.

colby agreed and went to start packing.

soon, ethan was back and colby and i were ready to go.

ethan was driving with me in the passenger seat and colby in the back.

the ride to the airport wasn't bad at all since we had the music blasting.

however the ride to new york was pain staking. it was so awkward.

ethan and i sat on the one couch with colby on the other. i responded to emails and did some school work on the very awkward plane ride.

colby was focused on his phone the whole time and ethan was watching a movie on his laptop. the whole ride was very very silent.

after 5 hours, we landed in new york. we got an uber to the hospital and i was instructed to the room whereas colby and ethan were told to go to the waiting room. oh great.

as soon as i went in, i have elena the biggest hug ever. she'd now been in labor for 7 hours. my poor baby sister.

i took a look around. bryce was in here as well as my mom and some guy i didn't know.

"oh ad, this is archie. archie, this is my sister, adelaide." there was something oddly familiar about him. but i couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"hi." i smiled to him, him returning the gesture. 

"adelaide, hey." bryce said.

"hi." i said, not looking at him.
