Zuri's POV
I've never been on a plane before. Never in my entire life. Which is honestly really weird, because mum and dad were rich.
Emma's officially going crazy. She's starving herself, and I've seen cuts up her arms. Bunches.
Luke has been really good though. He is always playing with me and Ravi, which is pretty unusual for him.
Tony and Jessie are always trying to distract us, but to be honest I don't think I need it. Mum and dad were never here anyway, it just seems as if their on another business trip.
We're on the plane now, it's getting ready to go leave America. I'm glad actually. Saying earlier I've never been anyway else before, and Somerset - where we're going, is right on the beach too, instead of in the middle of motorways.
I'm in between Emma and Jessie, and Jessie has Bailey on her lap. Tony, Luke and Ravi are In front of us. I sit cross legged with Millie lurking between my legs. I fish around in my backpack, for Mr. Panda.
I watch as Emma stares out the window, she only has a shoulder top on, and her shoulder blades stick out. She looks at me for a minute, no emotion shown; she's as blank as a white piece of paper. She turns flipping her hair around with her.
She pushes her legs against Luke's chair. I watch as she kicks it. She's just causing trouble for attention.
"Emma stop please." Luke says quietly turning around in his seat. She glares at him and says nothing.
"Please prepare for take off, prepare for take off." comes a voice.
"Where's it coming from, it's those voices! What's happening." shouts Ravi looking round panicking. I hold my face in my hands, hasn't Ravi ever heard of air hostess? And I'm pretty sure he has been on a plane before.
"Calm down little man, it only the air hostess. Don't worry!" says Tony kindly, placing his hand on Ravi's shoulder. Luke holds him in a hug.
I hear Emma swear under her breath. It pushes me to the limit. She's been a real pain since mum and dad died. Of course it upset us all, but she's the oldest out of us kids. She should be the most mature about this.
"Emma, Ravi is only 10. He's only been on a plane once when he was a baby, and he's acting way more mature than you! You shouldn't be cutting yourself or starving yourself, because guess what, you're 14! I know it sad that mum and dad have died, it upsets us all, but you could act a little bit more maturely." I whisper loud enough for only her to hear.
"They were my real parents, blood related. I cared about them more than anything unlike you!" she says rudely.
"They loved us all the same Emma. Grow up!" I say harshly back, because she's pushing the limit.
We're 2 hours into our 9 hour journey. Luke's asleep, Ravi is on his Game Boy, I'm playing with Bailey and Jessie, and Emma stares blankly out of the window. She has been ignoring us all, and haven't moved at all since take off.
I watch as Emma finally moves, only enough to accidentally kick Luke's chair. Enough to wake him.
"EMMA I ASKED YOU TO STOP! I WAS ASLEEP THEN!" he shouts. Everyone is looking at us now. Embarrassing! I burrow into my seat.
"I DIDN'T MEAN TO!" she screams back.
"OH SURE!" Luke shouts back, this time in a sarcastic tone.
Bailey starts crying and Jessie tries to quiet her but she wails louder than ever. A air hostess comes towards us.
"Please can you keep it down? You're disturbing other passengers." she says sternly.
"Hey, hey kids calm down!" says Tony trying to calm them.
"Shut up, you idiot!" says Emma, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Emma stop it. And Luke earlier she did it on purpose, just now she didn't." I say, trying to break the tension and getting them to shut up and stop dragging attention to us all.
"Sorry Emma." Luke says apologetically. I watch as Emma turns away and goes back to staring out the window. It doesn't stop Bailey crying though.
"Can you guys keep it down?! I'm trying to sleep!" says a women pinging off her eye mask.
"I'm sorry, she'll be fine in a minute." says Tony rocking Bailey.
"She better be." Snarls the women pinging back her eye mask. The woman tries to go back to sleep, as I could hear her heavy breathing.
"Tony honey, pass her to me." says Jessie.
"Sure." says Tony passing Bailey, who is still screaming her little head off. Seriously, how can a baby that small create that much noise? She makes more noise than Millie the Mermaid when she's yelling for help! Jessie finds a way to quiet her down in minutes, luckily.
The rest of the flight goes by quickly, and we land half an hour before expected.
It's around 3am in the morning. As we get of the plane, the cold air whips me. I rummage through my bag and pull out my thick jumper. I've never had to wear it in America, so it will come in handy here. I remember Jessie telling us to pack one and Emma laughed in her face and said she wouldn't wear such a ugly thing.
I can see Emma shaking and Luke offers his jacket. She takes it reluctantly and smiles.
"Sorry about earlier."
"S' Kay" says Luke shrugging it off.
(A/N do you want any Lemma? (Luke and Emma) please pm me about it)
We collect our 6 suitcases and exit the airport. We pile into our temporary car and drive to our future home.
I drift off to sleep after everyone else. I dream that it's back to when I was four years old, my birth parents had just died in a car crash and I was adopted into the Ross family. We always used to do more stuff then as a family, we hardly ever used to do anything after Ravi came and they created Galapaous. I dream about before mum and dad died, before Emma dieting, cutting herself, being mean and edgy the opposite of what she used to be. Before Tony and Jessie were my parents before everything.
I feel someone shaking me whispering my name.
"Mummy?" I murmur, waking up sleepily.
"It's Jessie, we're here!" Jessie whispers, picking me up. I cling to her like a monkey. She sets me down, and all of us look at the huge house that awaits us.
It looks amazing, as it's on the edge of the cliff. I can hear the gently waves leaping up and down against the cliff edge. It's a white house, decorated with ivy and roses on the outside. To the left is a pond and an old block of stables. Maybe I can finally have a pony!
"It looks vintage." Emma states, looking throughout the house and the garden that accompanied it. Everyone nods.
"Come on you guys, let's go in!" Luke says. Luke, Ravi and I run in while Emma, Jessie and Tony slowly trail behind.
Basically the house was huge! It was 4 stories and had 12 rooms. Hmm, maybe I can get Millie the Mermaid a separate room...
