It was finally here, the day we'd been waiting for since 'progress'. But would Rob come. Mark wasn't sure, since Robbie can change his mind at the last minute. ''I don't think he'll come.'' Mark sighs while fixing his bed hair into the perfect quiff. ''Have a bit of patience, he's probably just late.'' I reply while staring out the window. ''He's no-'' *Knock, knock* '' 'Ey what did I tell ya''. I grin while walking to the door.
'' Gaz!''. Robbie smiles while pulling me into a tight hug. ''Rob, we thought you weren't coming'.. .'' I laugh nervously and rub the back of my neck. 'Of course I was coming ... Just traffic...''. Robbie walks past me and I feel weird, I've known Robbie since we were young, and I've never felt like this around him before...
''So why have we been brought to markie's, why not mine?'' Robbie questions with a slight grin on his face. '' 'Coz mark can take things seriously rob, if we go to your place, we'd probably just end up playing some video games or something.'' Jason replies sternly. '' Excuse me, I can be serious.'' Robbie frowns and leans forward in his chair. ''Lads, were here to discuss the new album remember?'' I say. Robbie leans back into his chair when Georgina, Mark's girlfriend, walks in with some snacks. ''Thanks babe.'' Mark smiles and plants a soft kiss on her cheek and wraps his arms around her waist. ''So Howard, have you got any songs for the album yet?'' . I look over at Howard who is sitting quietly next to Jason playing candy crush on his phone. Howard looks up from his phone. ''Err...No...Not yet.'' He replies and looks down at his phone.
It goes awkward for a while. '' Maybe we should start tomorrow...'' Robbie suggests, and we all agree. Robbie gets up and smiles ''Right, I've organized something for us lads, let's go.'' Robbie walks out of the door as we all look at each other confusingly. ''What's he up to now.'' I hear Howard mumble to himself. Mark grabs Georgina's hand and led her out the door, all I can hear is Mark's laugh fading into the distance.
We arrive in the middle of an airport with only one aeroplane there. ''What are we doing 'ere Rob? ''. '' well, were getting on this plane and then were going to jump off when were all the way up there.'' I look at the plane and then to Robbie '' Oh no, were not going parachuting are we! ''. Robbie nods and laughs. '' come on gaz, it'll be fun.'' I shake my head and take a step back. ''No, no, no, no. you know what I'm like with heights I can't do that!''. ''You have to get over this fear.'' Jason says while tapping my back. ''Yeah, imagine how good it'll feel!''. Mark smiles as he squeezes Georgina's hand in excitement. Without any warning, Howard pushes me onto the plane and the instructor puts the necessary equipment on me.
'' You ready?!'' Mark shouts over the engine of the plane. ''NO''. I scream and close my eyes tightly. I feel my legs dangling over the edge of the opening of the plane and my heart starts to race even more. ''NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. I CAN'T BLOODY DO THIS.'' I grip onto the edge of the door with both hands and refuse to let go, my eyes shut quickly when I see the drop below me. ''Just go!''. Robbie, Jason and Howard say in unison. Mark looks at Georgina ''this is a bit cruel I don't like seeing Gary scared…'' Mark frowns. Georgina smiles ''Oh you big softie, He needs to learn how to have a bit of fun and get over this fear, like you said earlier it will feel amazing, he'll thank us when he experiences it.'' Mark smiles ''Okay, but it's your fault if he hates us after this okay?'' Mark jokes and laughs. Georgina laughs and kisses Mark on the cheek.
''Okay, on the count of three I want you to let go and we'll go.'' The man strapped behind me shouts. ''one.''. ''two, three!''. Robbie shouts and pushes us out of the door.
I feel adrenaline fill my body, and butterflies in my stomach. ''Wooooooo!'' I scream at the top of my lungs, the feel of the fresh air hitting my face and running through my hair felt amazing! , thank God for Robbie, that's all I'm gonna say. I look to my side and spot Mark,I can't hear him, but I know he's laughing. He looks at me and nods and laughs again. I nod back as the parachute expands above me.
I feel like an excited school boy as we reach the ground ''WOW, THAT WAS BLOODY AMAZING''. I laugh and jump on the spot, still feeling the buzz of the experience. Moments later Mark lands and so does the others. ''WOW!'' Mark stands there un doing his belt from the parachute, Grinning from ear to ear. ''That was brilliant!''. Robbie shouts and grabs my shoulders with both hands and shaking me slightly. We both laugh when all of a sudden we stop and just stare deeply into each other's eyes I never realized how beautiful Robbie's eyes are, the dark and light shades of green blends so well together.. Wait. Get a grip of yourself Barlow, your straight, and you both have FEMALE partners, what are you on about?! . Why do I feel like this, I've been having these feelings all day...
Robbie looks away and swallows deeply. I snap out of the phase and think nothing of it for the rest of the day.
