Chapter 4: Arrival

(Set after Luke leaves. Soz no RM happenin in this chapter….I'll, put some later on…but they areback together)

Tom was waiting at the airport. Anna was finally coming home. He wasn't the only one at the airport but, beside him stood Seth, Ryan, Summer and Marissa. Summer wasn't as joyful as Seth but she had something to take her mind off that. Tom. They traveled in the same car to the airport, Tom's BMW Z4. Seth had been the one who insisted that they take Tom's car because it looked, and was, so cool. Seth's 4WD was forgotten quickly.

Seth sat in the back, enjoying the TV on the back of the headrests that Tom's dad had installed back in Australia. Summer sat up the front because there was no room in the back next to Seth. The back could barely fit Seth. Tom's surfboard, bass guitar and acoustic guitar covered most of the back seat but Seth insisted that he was quite fine sitting there with things about to fall on him. Summer couldn't fit so she got to sit up front with Tom. On the way they struck up a conversation about creepy movies.

They were all standing at the airport. None of them were talking, instead they all studied the corridor that Anna was about to come out of. Tom because he'd never seen her in the flesh before, Seth because he really missed her, Ryan because that was the only place he could look without glancing at Marissa, Marissa because it was exactly opposite Ryan and Summer because Tom was standing in front of it. Then Anna walked through and was met with Seth running to hug her and the rest of the group followed between a run and a walk.

Tom got to her next and gave her a big hug.

"You look more beautiful than in the photos." Tom said and grinned at her.

"Thanks, you look better than in the photos too. No wait, you don't." Anna replied with a laugh and a grin. Summer and Marissa then gave her a hug lasting a second. Ryan and Anna then stood there uncomfortably until Ryan opened his arms and they hugged too.

"So how long are you staying?" Seth asked. Anna looked at him and replied,

"Hopefully for a long time. Longer than last time at least." They held eye contact and they both seemed to want that. She then moved her gaze to the general direction of the group and put her hand on Tom's shoulder,

"Hope Tom hasn't caused too many waves around here." Everyone shook their heads and laughed. Anna lightly punched Tom's arm and he gave her a look.

"You've been waiting to do that for a while now haven't you?" Anna scrunched up her nose and nodded. Tom smiled and messed her hair up. Anna ducked and Tom started to chase her when she fell on top of Seth. Tom couldn't help glancing at Summer and, for once, she wasn't looking back at him. Instead Summer's eyes were fixed squarely on Seth so Tom returned his eyes to the two on the airport floor too.

Everyone was uncomfortable then and they all looked at Seth and Anna to see their reactions, so that they knew how to react themselves.

Down below, lying on the ground, Seth and Anna looked at each other. Their faces were millimeters apart and they seemed to be frozen.

"I should probably get up," Anna said.

"Probably," Seth replied.

"We should probably get up now," Anna continued.

"Probably." Seth replied again, not able to say anything else. Anna looked away and then said,

"Probably." She then pushed herself up from the ground on either side of Seth. Tom looked at the both of them and then asked,

"Are you two okay?" Ryan then dragged Seth away so that he couldn't see the amount of hurt on Summer's face. Anna gazed after Seth and then replied,

"Probably."

(Short chapter, sorry about that. Promise to do more next chapter. A kiss is going to happen. Or two. Not sure yet but something is gonna happen. But it might just be platonic.)
