Chapter Thirteen

Jake's POV

"Look, everything will be fine for a couple of days without you two being here" Bailey laughed as she handed me one of the bags. "There are plenty of people who can help out with CC"

"I know, but I feel so bad" I sighed. "What if he remembers something and I'm not there, or if something bad happens to him."

"Jake, everything is going to be fine" Ashley said. "We're going to be here. All you need to worry about is giving Scout a romantic trip. Now go before you miss your flight." Well, it didn't take a genius to work out that I wasn't wanted.

"I'll see you guys later" I sighed as I took Scout's hand and made my way to the taxi outside to take us to the airport.

"Have a safe trip" Bailey shouted out the door as she gave us both a big wave and the taxi set off. God, I had been looking forward to this for months and we were finally getting to do it. I was going to be taking my girlfriend to England for a romantic getaway. Who would've thought?

…

The only thing that managed to keep me sane when we were at the airport was listening to all the plans that Scout had made for us. She had written down a list of places that she wanted us to go to and what she wanted us to do when we were there. She had museums, farms and themes parks scrawled down on a white piece of paper.

"Christ, that's a lot of things you want to do while we're there" I laughed. Well, it didn't look like I was going to be able to spend my break just watching television like I had hoped.

"Yeah, I just can't wait to see what it's like out there" She sighed before a huge grin was plastered on her face. "Come on, we're boarding" She led me to a gate and showed the woman with the tight suit on her passport and boarding pass before shoving people out of her way, so she could get to the plane first. I followed straight after her as we made our way to the coach that took you to the plane. I could feel myself growing more and more excited at the fact that England was merely hours away from me. I had always wanted to visit there.

Once the coach pulled up to the steps leading to the plane, Scout pushed forward again, knocking everyone and everything out of our way. She hammered up the steps, repeatedly smacking me in the face with her carry-on luggage. God, I didn't know it was possible for her to get so excited over anything.

As soon as we stepped onto the plane, I got that familiar cramped feeling that I always got. It was impossible for anyone to walk up the aisle of a plane without stumbling into every seat on the way up.

"What are our seats?" I asked as I squinted at my boarding pass.

"B7 and B8" She answered as she led me a little further up the plane and pointed at our seats. I shuffled into mine after putting our carry-on luggage into the overhead compartments. As soon as we thumped down into our seats, we twitched with excitement.

"I can't wait till we set off" I sighed as I watched Scout pull a book out of her handbag. How could she read when she was about to go to England? God, I was struggling to stay in my own bloody seat.

"Me neither" She agreed.

…

It didn't take long for us to be in the air and it didn't take long for the flight attendant to announce that we would be there in half an hour. Where did all the time go? I had been so absorbed with looking out the window that the time just seeped away from me.

Scout's POV

I couldn't stop thinking about what England was going to be like. Yes, it was going to be cold and wet, but it was going to be freaking England! Who couldn't be excited about that!? I was so excited to get onto the caravan site that Jake was taking me to even though it was only a caravan site. I used to love going on these kinds of vacations when I was with my dad and it felt great to relive my youth.

When the light snapped on to signal that we had to put our seatbelts on, I closed my book and leaned against Jake. "I love you for this" His gaze left the window for the first time during the flight and he wrapped his arm around me and squeezed.

"I love you too" He mumbled, pressing a kiss to my head. I just couldn't wait to get there, so I could begin this vacation with Jake.

The plane began to descend and everyone began to take on the facial expressions of excited. It didn't take long for the plane to bounce onto the ground and come to a stop as everyone juddered around. God, I loved plane rides. As soon as the plane came to a full halt, the light faded and movement began as people pulled off their seatbelts and made a move to leave. I moved away from my seat, got the hand luggage and stood in the aisle as I waited for the plane door to open, so we could leave. This was always the most awkward moment of the journey. It was so uncomfortable and cramped.

"Oh, dear god!" A girl in front of me squealed when she caught sight of me. "It's Scout Taylor-Compton" Well, that came as a surprise. It had always been Jake that everyone recognised when we were out. I was still waiting to make my big break. I was nothing special…well, this girl thought I was.

"Um, hi" I greeted. I wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to react to this. I'd never been in this kind of situation before. That didn't mean that I didn't like it, though.

"I've seen all of the movies that you've been in" She rambled as her face gleamed with excitement. Wow, I had no idea that I could have that kind of effect on someone. "You're like my idol. I've started going to an arts school because I saw you act and it made me want to do it."

The girl spoke for ages about how much she loved my skills. She only stopped when we got in separate taxis and even that was after the longest hug I had ever experienced in my life. Even so, it felt nice to be appreciated like that.

As soon as the girl had vanished into her taxi, Jake turned to me with a huge grin on his face. "Congratulations on that" he laughed. He had known how worked up I often got when everyone ran to him. "That'll be the first of many" Even though that was probably a long shot, I found myself grinning at the idea. I would give anything to have people adore me like they did the band…as vain as that may sound.

"Well, we can only hope" I laughed as the taxi driver pulled away. "It must be something to do with England" I fixed my gaze on the window of the car as I thought about the girl and England. God, this day was surely going to be the best one of my life.

We passed fields full of sheep and cows before we reached the caravan site we were going to be staying on. It looked as though it was slap bang in the middle of nowhere, but our driver told us that it was only a small walk until you got to the sea and a café. It looked as though there would be enough on the site to keep us entertained for the duration of our stay. There was a pool hall, a bingo hall, a swimming pool, an arcade, a children's entertainment bar, an adult bar and even a park. What more could I ask for?

"Do you like it?" Jake asked as we walked into the reception area to collect our keys for the caravan. When we received them, it was one key with a big 'F1' carved in it. We walked over to where our caravan was.

"Yeah, it's great" I answered as I looked around at what was surrounding us. The scent here was different, the air felt different. It was just like how I would have expected it, though. "Let's unpack" Jake slotted the key in the door and pulled it open.

It wasn't much special, but it was all I could dream of. Simplicity was the key to a happy life. A small television stood in the corner of the room and a couch spread across the edge of the caravan. The kitchen was smaller than my bathroom at home and the bathroom here wasn't big enough for me to stretch my arms out at all.

"Hmm, we should make good use of the bedroom" Jake laughed as he followed me with his arms resting firmly on my hips. I could feel his breath on my neck as he pressed gentle kisses to the back of my head. My heart clenched as my heart raced. Even though he always came out with things like this, it still made me so excited. I still felt like a giddy school girl with a crush on the teacher.

"You're never very subtle, are you?" I laughed. It was the only thing that stopped me from losing my mind under his touch. "I thought you had more tact than that." His kisses never stopped trailing my neck as he laughed.

"Oh honey, you know I never have any tact" he reminded. Oh god, he amused me so much sometimes. "You're my girlfriend; I don't need to be subtle with you." I turned in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck. He leaned forward, pressing a small kiss to my lips. Well, at least he was being gentle with me today.

"You should always be subtle" I chastised, pulling away from him before he got a chance to kiss me properly. Gosh, he smelled so good. He always used to tell me he only ever put some aftershave on…the rest was his natural odour. Yeah right!

"Whatever you say, Scouty" He laughed. My stomach clenched at his familiar nickname he used for me that held so much intimacy. I stepped out of his arms and threw his jacket over at him as I shrugged my own on. "Where are you going?" He questioned. His face told me only too well that he really didn't want to go out when he could have had me here.

"Come on, I'll buy you a pint if you're really lucky" I laughed as I pulled the door open and allowed the bitter wind to slap me right in the face. At least it felt refreshing.

"You are insufferable" He whined before he shrugged his jacket on and followed me out, dropping a quick kiss on my cheek. This was going to be a lovely stay.

So sorry for not updating in ages! I got into a new hobby that took a lot out of me and I just couldn't find the time to actually sit down and just write. Hope you enjoy it, anyway. Oh, and I'll try to update a little quicker this time XD
