{"Think big and don’t listen to people who tell you it can’t be done. Life’s too short to think small.” }
-Tim Ferriss
Samantha can hear laughter emanating from the boys who are staying on the neighboring room. She knows they have still not finished packing up from the way they are still focused on cracking jokes and, by the thudding sounds they are making, playfully wrestling one another. To the right of her bed, her brother is still passed out, his bare leg dangling outside of the hotel bed. They've had a concert the night before and had gone out partying it up to an ungodly hour. Clearly, it was a bad idea, but they didn't seem to care the previous night that they had a flight to catch the next day and how they had still not finished packing.
Not wanting to waste as much as another second, Sam quickly moves to finish packing up. After the boy's laughter ceases she too knows they are also getting ready. She is doing last minute preparations when she tickles her brother to wake up. Knowing how much of a heavy sleeper he was, she had no other choice but to wake him by constantly tickling him where she knew it worked best.
"Bloody hell, Vox!" Samuel yelled, calling Sam by her least favorite name of them all.
Samuel grunts and laughs as Sam continues to poke his ribcage. He finally pushes his sister off and throws a pillow in attempting to get her away. "I am up, for fuck's sakes!" Samuel says before he quickly stands up and moves to take on a quick shower. In the meantime, Sam continues to pack up. She can't hide her wide grin as she grabs some of her clothes and finally zips her baggage shut. This was the first time they had ever gone to Summer Jam which had been enough to get the dark haired more than excited for the whole month. Her backpack is not very heavy as she plans on buying a lot of clothes on the calls in Cali but she has still managed to get the suitcase full. Just as she is about to pull her suitcase to place it on the Van's backside, Kevin immediately hops in to help.
"Here. I'll get that for you, Sams." He says as he quickly takes her baggage.
Sam lets out a smile, knowing refuting would be all in vain as Kev would not allow it. He was a gentleman after all. "Thanks, Kev." She says as she gently squeeze his shoulder to show her appreciation. Kev gives her a smile before he places her baggage on the van's boot.
...
Before they know it, they have arrived to the airport. Once inside, Sam can't help but to rejoice in excitement while feeling somewhat nervous. Even though she has taken enough flights to feel at ease, mostly because of her family always going on vacations and visiting distant relatives, she can never get fully used to flying. She is not even close to being as nervous as the passenger sitting not too far from her but she is definitely not being the usual goof ball she is. Instead of cracking jokes with her boys, she limits herself to stare at her brother who is humming their newest song, a song she had composed herself. She shifts her head to the side before she attempts to imitate the beat, making some random noises before she too starts singing along. Samuel smiles and before they know it the two siblings are playfully singing along. Issac, Kevin and Jordan are staring, laughing along and having a good time. As it often occurred, Sam knew it was only a matter of time before they had to be hushed down because of their loudness. However, for the time being the other passengers seemed to rather enjoy the liveliness of Sam and her boys that they simply let it go.
