I woke up extra early the morning after. Even though he dropped me off pretty late, I had to because of our early flight. It was around 4 am. I stepped out of my bed and slipped into my clogs. I went into my bathroom to freshen up and that's when I saw lily on the floor, curled up and crying. The sight scared away my drowsiness. For a minute I was stunned and then I got out of it and went near her. I tried to comfort her and that's when it hit me Lily and Jacob broke up. I brushed off the hair from her face and swept off the tears. Her face was as pale as white and her eyes were all red. She looked straight into my eyes and asked me to leave. I could hear how dry her throat was while she talked. Even though I wanted to stay and comfort her, giving her some space would be the best thing to do.
I left the room and sat down at the work space. The sun was just coming up, the same sun that made my life better a few hours ago. My mind got filled by all the things that happened in the last days, lily and Jacob's break up, things between Charlie and me getting better and our trip to Ireland.
After half an hour I saw lily getting out of the bathroom in new clothes and a fresh face. She nodded her head at me as if nothing had happened. she grabbed some of her stuff and left the room. I went inside and took a quick little shower. I then put on some decent clothes and went outside to pack some essentials.
I grabbed my charger and headphones and went out to find lily. But she wasn't there. I looked around and all of her stuff was still there. Where could she have gone at 5 in the morning. I took my phone to call her, she picked up after 2 rings.
"Where are you?"
"Chill, I was hungry. I just went out to find any restaurant that's open"
"Ohh okay, get me something too"
"Yeh okay. Don't forget to pack your charger and headphones"
"Alright alright !! just be back soon, Charlie is going to be here by 6"
"okay" she hung up the phone.
I noticed a few missed calls from Jacob. I didn't bother calling back. I searched the whole apartment to find all the things that still needed to be packed. I found some of lily's clothes that she thought didn't match her vibe anymore and some of them were pretty cool. I packed them with my stash and after a while lily came back with tacos, not the best food to eat before a flight but it's all that we could get.
After a few minutes I heard Charlie at the door. Lily opened the door for him. I saw them having a small conversation, it was probably about her break up. Then he came up to me and before I could say hi, he grabbed me by the waist and kissed me. It felt really refreshing. Lily gave us a puzzled look, probably because I didn't tell her much about last night. He took our luggage to his car which was a white Chevrolet traverse. On our way there he told lily about last night. Even though she was hurting inside, she seemed happy for us.
We were almost at the airport and that's when I got a call from Mrs. Rosewood. my heart literally came out of my chest when I heard what she said. Apparently, the Ireland show can't happen because of the weather there at the moment, so they changed the destination to Norway.
She said, they got us tickets for Norway and the show destination was emailed to everyone. She said all this and hung up.
I was more frustrated about telling this news to lily than about the actual news. She already had her fair share of bad news in the last 24 hours.
"What is it, what did she say" lily eagerly asked.
I told her and her reaction was unexpected. She was happy and excited. I just couldn't get why.
We reached the airport in about 15 minutes. Peyton and the rest of the crew was already there and luckily there was no sight of Jakob. Everyone seemed on edge, probably because of the sudden reroute. Charlie and Lily went up to Peyton while I opened my phone to check the email. There wasn't much, just that well be staying at some hotel near a historical site and the show would be done around some well in Avaldsnes. Seems like we had a lot of work to do.
