Sink Your Teeth Into Forever

Ivy's POV
I was laying in what I guess was at that point my bunk. Yes that airplane had bunks, it was one of the coolest airplanes ever. Not that I had much to compare it too, I'd never flown before. Let alone on a government plane full of people that I barely knew. My stomach was full of butterflies, for a multitude of reasons, but the one that most prevalent in my mind was Ashley. Every time I thought about him I was so nervous and excited that I felt nauseous. I was trying to spend some time alone to sort out my brain. After seeing two of the guys nearly naked I needed some space. I didn't know how long I was laying there, but I figured that soon someone would be around to check on me. I was right. I heard a tapping on the wood frame next to my bed, mimicking someone knocking on the door. I opened the curtain that was separating me from the outside world. I was met with Andy, he was tall enough to look me in the eye even though I was on the second bunk.
"You okay?" He said casually. I nodded.
"You're emotions tell me differently," He said softly, "You almost had a panic attack earlier,". I sat up and shrugged, not really sure what to tell him. He sat on the edge of the bunk next to me. I almost shied away from him, but then I didn't, his presence no longer held much of a threat to me for some reason. He was still looking at me waiting for an answer.
"All of this, it's just a lot for me to handle. I'm really anxious when I start thinking about the exact position that I'm in," I said, trying not to hint about Ashley.
"I supposed I haven't really looked at this from your point of view. I was just assuming that you and I are in about the same boat, but I guess there's a bit more going on for you. I mean with this whole werewolf thing, and you're not exactly around people that you know," He said, as I nodded. We were silent for a few more minutes.
"You want to be home don't you, and I just keep making you uncomfortable" He said shaking his head and then resting it in his hands.
"Andy, I'm not mad at you," I said, putting a hand on his shoulder, " You really are doing your best for me and your pack,"
"You should be mad at me, you could be safe and sound at home, but I had to go and make you come here. Now we're going God knows where, and they could just be trying to kill us," Andy said, I saw his hands tighten into his hair. I got the sense that he was once again on the verge of a breakdown, and a plane would probably be one of the worst places for a werewolf to freak out. I had to find way to comfort him. Finding something to say was very hard.
"Andy I'm more worried about your mental state right now than I am about mine," I said, I decided to take a chance and rub his back. I didn't know how he would react to that, but he seemed to take it alright.
"You know, I've always wanted a little sister," He said so softly that I could barely hear him.
"No I didn't know that," I said. He nodded sitting up and looking at me.
"You've made me realize that even more lately,"
"I've always wanted a big brother," I said, and that was the truth, I'd always wanted someone to be there as a rock and to be my friend when my parents where going crazy like they almost always where.
"Can I call you my friend?" he asked.
"I thought I was your bargaining chip," I said with more venom than I had intended, as soon as it was out of my mouth I regretted it, he looked hurt.
"Andy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that," I said.
"Don't apologize, I get it," He snapped, "Everyone is getting ready for dinner if you're hungry," He slid off the bunk and walked out, his head bowed. I mentally slapped myself. How could I do that to him? He had been trying to be friends and then I just had to go and be mean to him. I followed him out of the bunk room and saw that everyone else was getting plates together and sitting down on couches to eat a lovely buffet that had been spread out for us. I saw Andy getting food, he glanced up for a moment, and caught my eye but his glance quickly turned into a scowl. We broke eye contact and he took his food and sat next to Juliette at a table. I got my food and then looked around for a place to sit. I didn't want to be anywhere near Andy, he did not need any provoking. I felt like I stood there for an eternity looking around at them all. Who would get annoyed because I sat with them? Who would ignore me completely? Who would ask me about why Andy was upset? I felt like the odd one out again. I was about to sit alone at the corner of the plane, like in the cafeteria at school, when I saw CC, we made eye contact and he waved me over to him. He made room for me in the booth where he was eating with Lauren, Jake, and Ella.
"What's up Buttercup?" Jake said as I sat down. I couldn't help but smile at his pet name for me, but I shrugged as an answer to his question. CC put his arm around me, and gave a little squeeze.
"What's the problem hun?" He said. I didn't answer but I glanced up at Andy who was glaring at me from across the plane. Ella turned and followed my gaze to Andy, he saw her looking and his gaze shifted back to his food.
"Is Andy being a brat to you again?" Ella said.
"Not really, I was accidentally really mean to him, and I think I hurt his feelings," I said.
"Honey don't you worry about that, Andy is just really moody, he'll probably be ready to be friends with you again in a few days," Ella said, trying to comfort me. I hoped that she was right.

Notes

Hey guys! Hope you all have had a good weekend and really enjoy this chapter. A bit of drama for your day and I hope that you will leave me a comment on if you think that Ivy and Andy are every going to be able to really be friends. Remember if you think that no one loves you, I do, and I always will. I hope that I will be able to get a chapter up for you guys, but I am at the climax of my busyness nest week and I'm struggling to even get my homework done and get enough sleep. I'll do my best. See you all (hopefully) next week.
