Hello there feeble mortal earthlings, this is my first rewritten chapter, so I hope you like it. The next 3 or 4 or so are also going to get a revamp.

And another quick reminder, that I had this idea in a car. We were on the motorway :) ! At night :) ! And I think I was eating gummy bears :) ! I wasn't...

*~NINA~*

I figeted in my seat at gate 15. His flight was an hour late- it had been announced on the tanoid speaker thingy- so he was due home in about 10 minutes. How far away would they be just now? I wondered. The speakers positioned around the waiting area suddenly sprung into vibration, the bing bing bing bong going right through us all.

"Attention, attention! Flight 2361 from Liverpool John Lennon Airport is now landing. Now landing, flight 2361 from Liverpool. Thankyou."

Finally.

Just a little advice, when you're sitting in an area where it's so silent the people around you can hear you breathe and those people tend to be 40+ and looking at you like you're an alien from outer space. You can see it on their faces, What is this 16 year old girl doing all alone here? like I can't do anything for myself. I can drive for God's sake.

Just then, people started spilling out the gate and, tucking my phone into my pocket, I shot up out of my seat excitedly. God, I'd missed Ed.

A blonde head stood out amoungst the croud, and I knew I'd found him. When he caught sight of me, he gave me a huge white grin almost up to his ears.

He placed his suitcase down, shoving the handle in and I threw myself at him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, I haven't been gone that long!" he laughed.

"You've been gone for ages, how was it?"

"Nothing like the Harry Potter scene you're imagining, but it's so cool. It was like this really old building with turrets and everything. Beautiful. But the house kinda creeped me out, not to mention the creepy old guy that's our Head of House. And seriously, the drama in that place...but yeah, I found this girl I liked from like the moment I saw her, then I accidently kissed her twin and ...oh God, but we're dating now, so that's cool." He grinned. "I share with this guy, he's a nerd. But he's awsome, considering he likes space and stuff."

"Well, is that a way to sum up a term of boarding school or what?"

"Yeah, it was pretty awsome," he said, not so modestly. "My explaination, of corse, not the actual school. Because, of corse, my deal is that I-"

"Skip 20% of your classes. I know."

He grinned as we headed out to the carpark, where the shared green jeep was waiting loyally for us. "Sorry about the long wait, Tiz, Eddie's flight got slightly delayed."

"You named the car?" Eddie raised an eyebrow.

"It's been screaming for one..." I said as we hopped in either side. I was being kind and letting Eddie drive.

He shook his head instead of thinking of an answer.

*~EDDIE~*

We sang all along the motorway, hardly being able to as our breath was being stolen by random uncontrolable laughter. The song we were singing died away- as did our joyful half singing, half laughing- into the adverts. There was silence in the jeep, except for some lady wittering on about loft insilation.

"Nina, I don't suppose I forgot to mention that my room mate's coming over next week?"

"Doesn't he want to spend the holidays with his family?" I asked. If I had been away at boarding school without being able to come home to my parents at night (or Eddie, in the case of the last six months) I would be itching to see them again.

"Him and his parents don't really get on. And his brother's away serving in Iraq. So I told him he could just catch a plane over and we'd take him in. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, that was nice of you, Ed."

"He's been wanting to meet you. I think you two would really get on."

*~NINA~*

Back at our apartment, I refused to let Eddie have the TV remote untill he told me more about his room mate. "What's his name, even?"

"You want his full name or just, like, his first and second name or just his first? Or what about what his best friend called him before he transfered to that Australian school?" He asked, then said in an Australian accent, "G'day, mate." He had a surpsingly good accent which led me to suspect that him and this guy had been joking about it for a while.

"Eddie," I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, okay, his name's Fabian."

"Faaaabian. Can't say how many Fabians I know. A bit snobby too, really."

"He's not like that," he yawned. "Gimme the remote anyways."

I handed it back and went through to my room. I hated all the TV Eddie watched, and I wasn't going to sit and watch it with him, no matter how much I'd missed his sorry butt.

When we had first moved in, we had painted my room a deep purple shade. It was lovely at the time, but now I wished we'd painted it something a little bit cheerier. It depressed me. I flopped down on my double metal bed with deep purple sheets to match, ready to mope around, bored, when the phone rang. The ringing echoed through the apartment, one in Eddie's room making the same noise and bouncing off the walls. Eddie picked up the one in the living room and I picked up the one beside me.

"Hello?" I heard him say through the phone and muffled through the wall at the same time.

"Hey, Ed," an English voice said.

"Fabian, man, how are you?"

"Good, good. Yeah, the airport's closed at certain hours next week, and one of those hours is when my flight is, so they've moved it forward...to Friday. But, timezones will mean sometime Thursday night. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's cool. See you Thursday, time traveller."

And they both hung up. Today was Wednesday. Tomorrow. Gah, I just wanted the place to ourselves just for a little while longer. Selfish, but it's not much to ask, right?

I couldn't stay up any longer without seriously talking to Eddie, so I got ready for bed and went through to see him before I did.

"Fabian's coming early," he informed me.

"Cool."

"Night goergous," he winked. I rolled my eyes and stalked back to my room. He was honestly going to get a slap.

*~EDDIE~*

I set my alarm for around seven the next morning, but I didn't actually wake me untill half past and Nina slept on, undisturbed by the faint beeping. I crept along the hall to her room and without warning slammed the door open, making it hit the wall behind with a huge crash!

Nina woke up with such a start she almost fell out of bed. "Eddie!"

I could only laugh at her, but she wasn't finding it amusing at all and scowled at me.

"C'mon, up up up!" I encouraged. "We've got to go fix up the guest room for Fabian!"

"Eddie, it's half past seven! Please tell me you did not just wake me at this time to fix up a room!" she protested after checking the time on her phone.

"Well I hate to lie..."

She groaned. "I'll add 'Kill Eddie Miller' to my bucket list right now."

"Oh, stop, you're too sweet!"

So anyway, after we'd fixed up the painfully simple spare room which could really use with a coat of some colourful paint, it was only just after eight (both of us were useless at making beds and it took forever).

Over breakfast, I decided to spill the beans. "Fabian may be staying a bit longer than I maybe...hinted."

"How long?" she sighed, and I could see how hard she was trying not to roll her eyes.

"Anywhere up to two weeks."

Nina started to rant at me- we all know she loves a good rant- but I cut her off with more.

"I also got a job."

"Well, I guess two years of me moaning at you to get off that ass and get a job worked, huh?" she grinned. "What're you doing."

"Limo driving," I said, trying not to let my pride in myself shine through. "I need lessons though..."

"And the first one's tomorrow, I'll be left with Fabian and you think that's gonna be great best friend and other guy best friend bonding time don't you, leading to something esle, don't you? Not gonna happen sunshine."

"I don't know about that..." I smiled.

I've kept a lot of the dialogue, I know and I suppose the only real difference is I keep switching POVs, sorry. It was just boring with JUST Nina's...yeah anyways, please tell me what you think and sorry I haven't updated in so long, I'm very lazy I know.

I've just been busy writing poetry on fictionpress and stuff...but yeah, I'm climbing out of that hole and I'm back to writing this.

Also, thanks for 9,000 views guys! :)
