Your POV

''Wake up y/n before I get a bucket of water to pour on your head!'' Mom says. 

I roll off my bed and fall on the ground. I instantly get up and stare at mom. 

''This is the second day in a row mom. What could be so important? Oh, is there another circus downstairs?'' I ask.

''No, but even better!'' Mom responds.

''And what can possibly be better than a circus?'' 

''We're moving to Los Angeles!'' Mom yells.

I instantly freeze. Why do I keep doing this? It's like I have a problem with freezing. We are moving to THE Los Angeles? This day can't get any better but it can get a lot more worse. I'm happy to leave behind all the bullies and bad grades. I'm going to start a new life in Los Angeles! This is a dream come true. 

''What about Skye? Is she coming too?'' I ask while not being aware of mom's feelings.

''Don't talk about Skye anymore. She can go live her perfect life with her boyfriend. It's not like I cared about it anyways.'' Says mom as a tear rolls down her face. ''Anyways, you better start packing. We are moving later today.'' 

''Wait what? I ask in surprise. ''We are leaving today? Mom that's literally impossible.''

''Well then make it possible. Go ahead and pack. I'll be in my room'' Mom says as she walks out my bedroom.

I turn on my phone. Great. 14 missed calls from Asher and 23 new texts. Who cares? He is a gold digger and I don't have to worry about him. I turn off my phone and start packing.

Asher's POV

I sit on my bed and go through y/n's Instagram feed. I just met her but I really do miss her. Maybe if I didn't act like such a jerk last night then we could've been friends. She's not even answering any of my text messages. I messed up yesterday. If I could take back everything I did in that day, I would. Suddenly, mom walks in the room.

''Asher. Get off your phone! You will be heading to the airport with Peyton, Sofia, and Joshua later today'' Mom says.

''Ok mom. Is London and Avi done packing?" I ask.

''They've been done with packing. I see a few stray clothes on the floor. Be sure to pick those up and come downstairs by 1 so we can go meet up with your friends.'' Mom says.

''Ok..'' I say as I get out my bed and start packing my clothes. When mom leaves the room, I go straight back on my phone. Y/n has been active on Instagram 2 minutes ago. She defiantly saw my texts. The thing i'm most worried about is leaving her behind in New York. Hopefully, i'll get to see her again.

Your POV

My room is full of packed suitcases. Me and mom will be leaving to go to the airport at 1 pm. I check my watch and it reads "12:50''. I take all my suitcases into the van and I go to the backseat to wait for mom. After what seems like 3 hours, she arrives. Mom hops in the front seat and starts the car.

"You ready y/n?" Mom asks.

''Yep.'' I respond. I can't wait to start my new life. I can already imagine the outfits i'm going to wear and the places i'm going to visit. 

The car starts driving off and I look out the window. I didn't notice this before but beside my house there was a large sign that said ''For Sale''. I suddenly remember my childhood. This is the place I grew up. This is the place where I saw my dad for the first time. It's where my parents argued and decided to get divorced. I remember the last day seeing my dad's face. Before I know it, we pull up at an airport. I jump out the car and start taking our suitcases inside the airport. 

Asher's POV

Me, Peyton, Joshua, and Sofia arrive at the airport. After a few minutes of talking, me and Sofia decide to go get some Starbucks for all of us.

''So what's going on with you and Peyton?'' Sofia asks. 

''Who told you something is going on between us?'' I respond.

''Peyton told me that you broke up with her.'' She says.

''Me and Peyton were never even together.'' I say hoping she will catch on. ''I kissed her last night and my f-friend saw us.'' I add.

''Which friend?" Sofia asks.

''Her name is Y/n. I met her a couple of days ago.'' I respond.

"And do you like y/n?'' Sofia asks while smiling.

''Maybe.'' I say as my face turns bright red.

''Sofia, Asher, Peyton and Joshua!'' The announcer calls.

''That's our order. Let's go bring the drinks to Peyton and Joshua.'' Sofia says. I nod my head and we carry the drinks over to them. 

Your POV

''What's our flight number mom?" I ask her.

"It's 607. I hope these planes come in fast'' Mom responds.

"Number 586..587'' Says the announcer. 

"Nope.'' I say to mom. "The planes are going to take a while to come in.''

In the corner of my eye, I see Asher looking at me. I turn around and I see him standing next to Peyton and 2 other people. Of course. He doesn't even like me. If he did he would've came over by now. Asher suddenly starts walking towards me. I start blushing as he comes closer. Asher touches my hair and a girl pulls him back.

"Asher. That's not how you win a girl back. You play it cool. Pretend you don't see her.'' says the girl. However, Asher pushes her away gently and continues to walk toward me.

''Y/n I-'' says Asher being cut off by the intercom.

"Number 607" Says the announcer.

''Let's go'' says Mom. I help her gather our purses and bags that weren't already placed in the airplane. We pile them in the plane. I notice Asher and his mom doing the same. Well, he's going to ride the same plane as me. I just hope we don't get seats by each other. That would be weird. 

Asher's POV

I missed my chance. Y/n probably thinks i'm a fool now. It's bad enough we have to ride the same plane. I wish she could just forgive me and we can go back to normal. Joshua walks pass me and pulls me into the seat across from him.

"Do you see that hot girl over there?'' Joshua says as he points to y/n. 

"Yes. I've been noticing her'' I say.

''Here's my chance! There's only one seat available. And it's right next to you! Want to switch seats?'' Joshua asks.

''Well this is my assigned seat.'' I respond.

I look up at y/n and I see her searching for an empty seat. The pilot gets out of their seat and directs her to the seat right next to me. Y/n looks into my eyes and I instantly break down. I can't let her see me like this. I wipe my tears and turn the other direction.

Your POV

Why does the only seat left in this plane have to be next to Asher? That's the one seat I don't want to sit in. That's the exact thing I wished not to have. But here I am next to Asher. I wonder why my mom put my assigned seat next to him. Also how she knows we are ''friends''. The intercom goes on about the airplane safety rules. 

"We will be lifting off in 5...4...3...2...1" Says the intercom.

Finally. My dream is coming true. There's enough drama already. I can't wait until this plane finally stops in Los Angeles. I can't wait until I step on set. I'm ready for my new life. All this drama is crazy. I'm ready to be a new person. The only problem is...Asher.
