1 week later…
I hugged Liz and Bex goodbye.
"Be careful!"
"I will. I love you guys!"
Bex was staying behind to spend sometime with her parents since she wouldn't be seeing them for a while. They would be leaving for Australia in 2 weeks and she wouldn't see them over spring break. I think she was spending that spring break on the farm with me.
Liz had to go back to her family. They still thought she was visiting an old friend even though she was in Europe…
The only thing my mom had ever told me about my dads parents were that they didn't like her very much and they lived in DC or they did the last time I heard.
I think my mom's exact words when I was little were " They live in DC and I'm not there favorite person. Maybe you will meet them when you are older."
Just because they don't like my mother doesn't mean they won't like their cute nice little granddaughter…right?
Okay I was nervous. Its stupid, I know. I slipped my fingers into Zach's and leaned my head on his shoulder.
His kissed my hair and gave me his peanut packet. Best boyfriend ever.
"Thanks" I mumbled
"What's wrong? Do your ribs hurt?" he started to pull away. I caught his arm and pulled him back towards my armrest. I took a deep whiff of his cologne and sighed.
"I've never met my grandparents before. What if they don't want me there?"
"They will love you! I'll be right there the whole time. Calm down okay? Eat some peanuts."
"Thanks for coming by the way. You didn't have to."
He kissed me softly on the lips. My head felt light and a shiver went down my back. I leaned in and put my hand on his hard chest and leaned in. He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Ummm, Excuse me mama. Refreshments?"
Zach jerked his head up and hit it on the wall of the airplane. I pulled my arms away hit one of my hands on the armrest.
"Crap. Yah umm 2 cokes." We sat quietly and watched as the lady handed us 2 little plastic cups. She smiled and told us to please fasten our seatbelts.
"You bit my tongue, Cam!"
"I'm sorry! That lady scared the crap out of me."
"Yes she looked very threatening in her stewardess cap."

"Cammie! Wake up. We have to go."
I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. The plane was dark and all the other passengers were sleeping. The TV with a map of our location said that we were just passing over Maryland.
"Okay, meet me in the first class bathroom in 2 minutes." I picked up my oversized backpack and slipped out of my seat, careful not to wake the very fat man snoring next to us in the First Class section.
I got to the bathroom, but there was a long line. Great. I only have 5 minutes. I reached into my pockets to see if I brought a stink bomb, but instead my hand ran into the 5 empty peanut packets. Ive got it!
I hunched over and held my stomach.
" ow! I think the lamb meatballs aren't agreeing with me." People started to slowly back away from the bathroom. Alright line cleared. I waited for the little girl to exit the bathroom. I half locked the door so Zach could enter when he arrived. I put my goggles and gloves on. I zipped up my wind breaker and put on grip lock shoes. I pressed the faucet head down 4 times to reveal a hole with a glass top just big enough for a teenager.
I heard a click and saw Zach slip into the small cabin.
"Ready for this, Morgan?"
"Born ready, Goode."
"Welcome back Gallagher Girl." Next thing I new I was free falling.
