Party 'til you pass out / When the party's over

1.3

'Yeah, I decided to hop along for a few weeks. I won't be there for the entire tour, though.' I grinned, knowing I was going to have a lot of fun with him in the next few weeks.

'Great,' I said, hugging him shortly. 'Now let's make sure we're sitting next to each other for the next nine hours.'

Oliver

Of course I was stuck sitting next to her. She was at the window seat, and rolled her eyes when I took the seat next to her.

'Great,' she muttered, staring after Tom who walked by, shot her a sad look, shrugged and took his seat a few rows back.

'Guess you're stuck with me,' I said, pulling my phone and headphone out of my backpack before throwing it in the overhead lockers and taking my seat.

'Guess so...' She stared out of the window and stayed silent for a long while, her nails digging into the armrest and her eyes closed while the plane took off twenty minutes later. I noticed she was inhaling very shallow, and couldn't help but think she was scared of flying. My eyes trailed over her face while I was observing her, trying to ignore Nicholls, who was sitting next to me at the aisle and whining about the small leg space he had. I am taller than you, you prick. Imagine being me on this flight...

Alison's face was frowned, her eyes still closed behind her glasses.

'Eh... Alison, are you okay?,' I softly asked her.

'Don't talk to me,' she sneered, not even bothering to look at me while pulling a bottle of pills out of her pocket en taking one.

'Right. Whatever.' I agreed to myself that this would be the last time I'd try and be nice to her, since all she gave me was an attitude. To distract myself from Attitude Alison and Nagging Nicholls, I put my headphones on, pulled my hood back over my eyes and turned on some music, blocking everything out to fall asleep. Hopefully I'd sleep until we would reach the other side of the pond, and I'd feel a lot better than I did now.

I woke up from a poking at my arm, and turned to see Alison looking at me. She was saying something, but I didn't hear her over my music. I shook my head to wake up a little more and took off my head phones, looking back at her.

'What?'

'I need to go to the lavatory...,' she mumbled, looking away because of my annoyed answer. I sighed and looked at Nicholls, who was vast asleep, then checked the time on my phone. We had been flying for over three hours already.

'Eh... Well, I guess you have to climb over us,' I said. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

'Don't be such a prick. Wake up Nicholls, so you two can get up and let me through.' I let out a humourless laugh.

'You wanna wake up Nicholls? Good luck. Rather you than me,' I answered, putting my headphones back on.

'Oliver!'

'What?!' I looked up at her, annoyed. 'Just climb over us,' I said, turning my music on again. Alison stared at me for a moment, then leant over me in an attempt to get out of her seat. She put her hands next to my head and threw her leg over mine; I couldn't help but smirk when her boobs were right at my eye level. She noticed, though. Shit.

'You're a fucking asshole, you know that, Sykes?,' she whisper-shouted angrily at me. I nodded, closing my eyes and biting my lip to keep myself from laughing. Her hand smacked my head on purpose and I looked back at her while she climbed over Nicholls, who didn't wake up in the slightest. Then she flipped me off and walked to the back of the plane, and I stared after her.
