So...
Short chapter - I guess this is more of a prologue, since C2 shall be set one month later.
Yes, the title is the name of an All Time Low song.

“Stella, you’re perfectly sure you have everything?” Lucian said as I fumbled for my passport.
“Yes, remember, you forced me to make a list, double check my suitcase, count my money, and double check my hand luggage, now go and ask Marcie that question” I replied, still searching through my hand luggage for the passport, my hands grasped it and brought it out of the bag.
Lucian had actually decided to leave me be and go and repeatedly ask Marcie the same questions.
“Have you had something to eat?”
“Have you had something to drink?”
“Have you got something to read?”
“So, you’re sure you have everything?”
I rolled my eyes over hearing Marcie giving even snappier answers than I had, Lucian walked back over to me, obviously after being sent away by his other best friend.
“Stella, are you sure about this?” He asked, looking me deep in the eyes, I stared back and smiled slightly.
“Luce, relax...It’s New York, of course I’m sure, I have somewhere to stay, I have the money, I have plans, and I have...Marcie” I said her name quietly, we both simutainsly sighed and looked over to her, ever since Marcie had suggested going to New York for a few months she had started to change, at first I thought she was doing it for me, I’ve wanted to go since I was little, before I had even met her, and even though both our families had the money for it, we had decided to go after college, just the two of us.
But she was starting to change, I always thought she was like me, I thought she wanted to go see the landmarks, work in a cafe, and go shopping once in a while, but it seemed like she didn’t anymore, she didn’t even have a plan.
Lucian pulled me into a hug; I was going to miss him, my super stereotypical gay best friend.
“Please don’t let me see her on an episode of Jersey Shore” He said pulling away, I laughed and replied with –
“New York Lucian, not New Jersey” I shook his head, still smiling but close to tears, I realised I was the same.
I pulled him into another hug, and we stood there for a few minutes totally silent in each other’s arms, crying thinking about how much we was going to miss each other.
“Oh, and Stella” He whispered, I could barely hear him with all the people fussing round us.
“Yeah?” I whispered back.
“Try and find someone” He said simply, I rolled my eyes and pulled away.
“I can’t promise anything” I replied smiling, he frowned.
“Please, I wanna double date” He said sadly, I burst out laughing and it made me remember, that Julian, his boyfriend was stood behind him texting somebody.
“Oi, Julie” I yelled, he barely had time to look up before I jumped onto him and hugged him, and he hugged back after recovering from the surprise.
“I’m going to miss you Stella” He said, I smiled, still slightly crying.
“Imma miss you to baby” I cried, ruffling his brown hair.
“Stelz, hurry up!” Marcie shouted from Lucian’s side, I took a deep break and walked towards her.
“You ready?” She asked, I nodded, and took one last look at Lucian, and then at Julian who had joined Lucian at his side.
We turned to walk into the airport; I looked back to the couple and waved.
“Flight 565 now boarding!” Said the speaker, Marcie and I stood up suddenly and flung our bag packs over our shoulders and started to run.
“I told you we should have just gone to the terminal!” I said as we ran to the other side of the airport, Marcie was slightly behind me and we was getting strange looks from everyone.
“I didn’t think it boarded for another half an hour!” She replied as we finally reached the terminal I stopped for breath and then walked along side Marcie to the queue of people boarding the same plane to John F Kennedy airport.
The guy took our tickets and did whatever he had to do to them to make them valid and handed them back to us, Marcie and I walked forward and onto the plane.
Twenty minutes later we were sat down, and I had my earphones in while Marcie was reading a book beside me, when all of a sudden there was a jerk, I looked out of the window and smiled as I saw we were finally moving.
“We did it Stella” Marcie said happily.
Goodbye England, hello New York I thought to myself, feeling as if I was in some kind of movie.
