When Samantha woke up that morning she could tell that it was one of those days, a hard day, a day when everything was going to remind her of Tom. She stared at her alarm clock, just listening to the annoying beeping sound for what seemed like forever in her head. When she finally decided to turn it off, she reached out and pressed down on the silence button and noticed that she was shaking a bit. She made her way out of her bed and opened a drawer pulling out a small bag which held her weakness. She hated this habit of hers and she knew it was bad, but for reasons unknown to her, she could not stop herself from doing it. She made her way to her bathroom and let it out on the counter and just stared at it for the longest moment before leaning down and taking it all in. She wiped her nose before getting ready to leave to meet everyone at the air port. She needed this high, though it only lasted for a short time, it made her feel like she owned the world. She looked in the mirror and could see that her pupils had taken it hard, twice the size they were before the fact.

After making her hair look presentable, she grabbed her suitcase that she had already packed a few nights before and headed out the door and to her car. The morning was cold on this day, the wind blew her hair around her face wildly until she got into her car. She shook her head a bit so her hair went back to a semi-normal state. She had an hour to get on the plane with her three friends. Even though she had only been legal for a few months she already lived on her own, so she had no worries about telling parents goodbye. But, what she was worried about was living with her friends, none of them knew of her little addiction or that she had even tried the stuff, and on top of that...the last time she saw them all was at Tom's funeral, it was the first time they had seen her cry.

She shook her head again and took off for the airport, as she arrived she noticed she was the first one there out of the group of her friends. She pulled her suitcase out of her car and walked up to the front of the air port and waited for them to arrive. She put on her smile and stood up against the wall of the building.

Johnny woke up feeling good, This is gonna be a great day, i can just tell he thought to himself.
After showering, brushing his teeth and hair and hastily packing what was left of his clothes phone charger laptop and other things stepped out the front door.While driving to the airport he listened to all his favorite songs, right up until the only song that had ever reminded him of Tom came on the radio. He pulled into the parking lot of the airport next to a car that seemed oddly familiar.

Johnny got out grabbed his stuff and went to wait up front of the air port when he saw Samantha about 20 feet away.
"SAM!" He yelled running up to her and hugging her with one arm,"How ya been?".

Sam smiled at him and hugged him, "Hey Johnny, i've been okay. Are you excited for this?" she kinda pushed her bangs in front of her eyes in hopes that they would not notice her enlarged pupils. She looked up at him, "i wonder what the first hotel is going to be like, right?" Even though she felt sad on this day, her emotion mask she put on was hiding this fact quite well and the drugs were helping to. "They better get here soon, we only have 45 minutes to get on that plane." She pulled out her tickets, "which one of us are you sitting by?" The plane they were getting on this time around was the ones with two seats in rows on each side of the plane and she had no clue which one of her friends she was going to be sitting by.

Johnny pulled out his tickets and said "Umm, Im not sure, i already talked to Noah and im not next to him... What seat number is yours?". Johnny pulled out his Droid and texted Noah Where are you man, We got 45 min to be in the seats,be careful though no time to get hurt.

She looked her tickets over again, "i'm sitting in seat B4, so i wonder which of them has B3." She watched him as he texted Noah, "i'm sure they'll be here soon, they wouldn't ditch us." She smiled and looked at her LG Dlite {phone} to check and see if she had any texts, but she didn't, all she saw was her background picture. It made her smile falter a bit, it was a picture of her and Tom on graduation, taken only a few hours before....she sighed and shut her phone putting it away in her pocket.

"Wow, how could i have not remembered that... I'm in B3, Hahaa"Johnny said shaking his head at himself.
"Yeah i know i am just really excited to be back with all of you guys, I missed you." He said with a big smile.
Johnny pushed her hair out of her eyes and said "Whoa Sam, What'd you do to your eyes?".

((Sorry its so short, I got writers block xP))

"Wow, how could i have not remembered that... I'm in B3, Hahaa"Johnny said shaking his head at himself.
"Yeah i know i am just really excited to be back with all of you guys, I missed you." He said with a big smile.
Johnny pushed her hair out of her eyes and said "Whoa Sam, What'd you do to your eyes?".

((Sorry its so short, I got writers block xP))

Sam laughed a bit, "yeah, yeah, Mr. Forgetful. I missed you guys too." She smiled until he pushed her hair out of her eyes and she looked away a bit, "oh, what do you mean? Is something wrong with my eyes?" She decided it would be best to make eye contact with him so he didn't think anything was up, so she looked up at him making direct eye contact and put on a worried little pout to make it seem even more like she didn't know what was wrong with her eyes.

((lol, it's all good.))

Johnny looked at her for a second "Nah, the're fine,Anyways where are we going first, i forget Hahaa."
As he pulled out his ipod he said " Im gonna listen to some music, Wanna listen?".
He put the right headphone in his ear and left the other one hanging out, and put on his favorite song
Money To Blow

"Well this schedule is quite weird, we skip around a lot in random orders. But our first stop is Italy, we're there for three days." She smiled, she had always wanted to go to Italy and was very glad to be doing so and the fact that it was the first stop made it even better. She took the head phone that was dangling and listened to the music with him.

((fufufu, now imma have that song stuck in my head! xD))

"Oh my goddd! I get to go to the place pizza was invented?!?!?"Johnny said enthusiastically.
He leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes, waiting for Noah to come.
As he daydreamed thoughts of the trip floated aimlessly through his head
When he looked over and saw some guy checking Sam out he flicked him off as a sign to leave.
((Lol "Im Captain hook and my new car is Rufio"))

Sam laughed, "yes, we'll get to eat real pizza. The only down side is humidity there is about 90 percent this time of year, which means wearing clothes will be hell," she laughed because it's not like she meant anything by it, she was just stating warning facts about the weather. She was silent for a long moment and just let the wind beat at her hair, giving it quite a messy look. She snapped out of her little calmness when Johnny flipped off a guy that was near by that shehadn't even noticed. "What are you doing that for," she asked him a bit confused.

The alarm hadn't woken Noah Lawson up...but the annoying jingle of ACDC's "Back in Black" on his mobile certainly did. The only part of Noah which bothered to move was his arm. It grabbed the petulant device off his locker, and opening his weary eyes Noah opened his text.

Oh. Dear. God.


Noah let out of bed and quickly jumped into a clean pair of pants. He picked a t shirt up off the floor and found some jeans out on the landing, hopping down the stairs as he tried to put them on whilst navigating himself down the stairs. He failed in spectacular fashion, now sprawled on the floor of his house.

'Remember, the more haste the less speed' he thought to himself, calmly picking both himself and his suitcase up and heading out the front door... Tom had learnt that the hard way.

Noel had spent the morning rushing to get out of the house. But a dozen complications had sprung up in her way. First she couldn't find her camera. Then her suitcase exploded on her half-way down the stairs. Then she couldn't get her suitcase out of her door, in all her rush, and ended up tearing her skirt, which forced her to go find another one, and her sewing kit, so she could fix it on the plane.
And then her Mom called, begging her not to go, certain that she would get hurt.
Certain that she was going to miss the plain, Noel finally managed to bolt from the house, fleeing for the streets.

Johnny said " Wait does that mean its gonna be hot, or cold? And Nothing just some weird guy checking you out.Hahaa i never paid attention in Geography, no matter how many times Tom went over it with me..." Near the ending he got a glassy look in his eyes,

"That means it's going to be hot," she looked back at the guy that Johnny had flipped off and she rolled her eyes, "thanks." When she heard Johnny make his comment about Tom helping him with his Geography work she looked up up at him and noticed the glassy look in his eyes and sighed and looked down a bit, falling silent.

Noel dashed through the waiting area, staring around. Where were they...?
She spotted them, and started running again. Freed from the weight of her suitcase, she ran much faster on her long, dancer's legs.
"Johnny!" She shouted, waving energetically as she ran towards them, "Sam! Sorry I'm late!" She came to a skidding halt in front of them, doubling over and gasping for breath.

Sam saw Noel and smiled again, "it's fine, Noah still isn't here so you're not the latest arrival." She reached out and hugged her and looked at the time, "If Noah doesn't get here soon we are in trouble."

Hey, Noel! You ok?" Johnny said about her being doubled over.
"I think your sitting next to Noah, Thats ok right?"He asked her when she stood up.
Damn, Where the hell is Noah? He thought to himself.

"Y-yeah," Noel gasped, straightening up and pushing a strand of her overlong blonde hair behind her ear, "That's fine." She glanced around, scanning the airport, "Where do you think he could be? I mean... he doesn't live that much further away from the airport than I do, does he?"

At that moment Noah calmly walked up to the three of them acting quite nonchalant, pretending that he hadn't ran all the way from the entrance to the terminal. He had even forgot to pay the taxi driver. Fortunately the angry driver that had been pursuing him had lost Noah in the me-lee of the airport.

"Hi! looks like we all made it." looking over his shoulder apprehensively for his would be pursuer. We had better hurry up and board or we will be late!" and without awaiting reply from his friends hurried straight over to the Stewardess and handed over his ticket,and disappeared out of sight.

Sam laughed, "finally you're here. We gotta go." She practically runs in making her way through security and handing over her luggage and what not before finally getting to where their plane was boarding and she looked at them. "Sweet, we didn't miss it!"

Noel laughed cheerfully, shaking out her hair and staring around.
"Where do we sit?" She asked brightly. She hadn't gotten the chance to actually look at her boarding pass, between running like mad and gasping for air.

As they board the plane Sam looks back at Noel, well the tickets say you're sitting with Noah and i'm sitting with Johnny right...." She walked back to the B row of the plane where the four seats were at, two seats on each side, "here!" She looked at them.
