DPOV

I have never seen an airport so crowed before! Everybody scurrying around to catch their flight. Luggage wheels screeched on the floors. I was part of all of these people. Sitting in the waiting room, I waited for my flight to arrive. It was 10:34 in the morning, and I never knew so many people caught a flight this early.

My flight was called to be coming in in about 10 minutes. I never had breakfast this morning, I was too in a rush. And I was really excited to see my two best friends; Jesse and Essence. They were the best girls ever!

In 10 minutes exactly, my flight arrived. I got up from my seat with a huge gulp and a nauseous stomach. I needed to see Justin. I missed him.

Finding my seat on the plane, I settled in and placed my tote on my lap. People were still loading on, so I pulled out my phone to check for messages. I had 1 new text message and 3 missed calls. All from Justin…

'Hey. Danielle, can you please pick up your phone. I need to hear your voice so I know your not avoiding me. I miss you. Have a good, Uhmm, trip?…ha-ha…seeya'

I could tell that he was trying so hard to be supportive. But he wasn't succeeding.

15 minutes later, the pilot told all of us to buckle in and turn off all electronic devices. I turned off my cell phone, and fell back in my seat. Looking over to my left, a had no one sitting beside me. I smiled in satisfaction. But no matter how hard I tried all I wanted was for Justin to be beside me smiling right back at me. My smile faded, and I looked out the window. I looked over to the roads to find a black range rover driving along. My heart skipped a beat thinking it was Justin.

Once we were in the air, the flight attendant told us we could use our electronics now. So I pulled out my iPod, and placed the headphones in my ears. I set it on shuffle and the first song that played was She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5. I got butterflies in my stomach as I thought about the time Justin had played this song for me with his guitar 2 years ago. I closed my eyes shut and leaned my head back on the seat. Humming the song softly, fell into a soft nap.

About an hour and a half later, I was awakened by the vibration of my phone. I slowly opened my eyes, brightened by the suns reflection.

1 New Text Message:Jesse

I smiled as I thought about seeing her and Essence in less than 4 hours.

Danielle! How r u, hun! Me and Essence are stoked to c u. We got chocolate ice-cream and loads of movies! Remember we'll b here 4 u girl!

They were always the type of girl friends you could lean to when your feeling down. I always considered them my best best best friends for a long time. Jesse was always the type to buy the chocolate and Kleenex when something like this happened. She was one of my first best friends; we've been friends for the past 10 years. And Essence? God, I love that girl. She's the type to end a sappy day with a bright, happy ending; like a movie. That's why she is the one that brings all the movies over. Whenever I get hurt or in a fight with someone, she's always there, right behind me, ready for anything to happen. Even though when she meets my friends and is shy around them for awhile, once she gets to know them she acts as if they were friends the whole time. I love both of these girls; I don't know what I would do without them.

For the last four hours, I listened to my iPod Touch and text Jesse about the plans tonight. I was about 5 minutes away from landing. And Jesse told me that both of them were there waiting for me. For the last minutes on the plane, I listened to an extremely old song; Kiss and Tell, by Justin Bieber. He made this song 4 years ago, and it still made me feel like a 15 year old again.

As soon as the plane landed and was told to unload, I peeled out of my seat, and grabbed my bag. I was one of the first ones out of the plane. Once I got off, my dragged my numb legs over to the airport. Looking through the windows, I found two girls sitting on the floor right up against the windows. They were both talking to each other so they didn't notice me yet. Jesse and Essence both looked up, and once they caught my gaze, at the same time, both of them had wide smiles on their faces. "Danielle!" They both said in unison.

Tears welled in my eyes as I ran towards the opening doors. Once I was in the room, I dropped my bags and ran over to them. We crashed into each other, into a big hug. I never knew how much I missed these girls. We all sobbed as we escaped from the hug, and looked at each other. We gave each other separate hugs that lasted a long time.

"I missed you girls so much! I can't believe I'm back home!" I cried as we walked over to my dropped bags. I grabbed my tote, while Essence and Jesse both grabbed one piece of my massive luggage.

"We can't believe it either! It's been soooo long!" Essence cheered. It really has been a while. I moved to Stratford 5 years ago, and came to visit California at least once every 2 years. So I never really have seen them in a while.

We all drove in Jesse's Convertible with the hood down on this warm, sunny, normal California Thursday. Talking about what we missed out on in each others lives, they found out everything that went between me and Justin; from the really good, to what happened yesterday.

As we unpacked at my new apartment, all my furniture was set up exactly where I wanted it, so it gave us more time for our night together. Jesse and Essence were both sleeping over at my house for the night anyway, so we headed over to the closet food store to grab a shit load of junk food, from chips, to ice cream, even to candy jelly beans.

When everything was set up, we were about to watch Horton Hears a Who, just because that used to be our favorite movie when we were younger. When Essence was making the popcorn, and Jesse was getting the movie ready, I was changing into my sweats and the same baggy shirt Justin had given me.

I sprinted down the hallway as fast as I could, to find myself crashing into a box. I tumbled onto the floor, and found myself laughing my ass off. Jesse and Essence doing the same thing.

My ribs hurt so much from laughing hard. I went to sit down on the couch when I felt my phone ringing. Essence turned her head at the sound, and Jesse was already by my side. When I looked at the caller ID, I could feel my knees get wobbly.

"Don't answer that, Dan.." Jesse pleaded. "He only wants to make things worse than they are.."

I looked back at both girls, then back at the name that flashed on the screen. I pushed talk slowly, and raised my hand to press the phone to me ear softly. My voice was getting shaky, at the thought of hearing his beautiful voice.

"D-Danielle?" The voice on the other ended was shaky as well..
