Sink Your Teeth Into Forever

Ivy's POV
All throughout dinner I kept looking up at Andy from across the room. Sometimes when I looked up he would be looking back at me, other times he would be paying no attention. Every time our eyes met, I would look away before I could see if he was going to glare at me or not. That boy was confusing. One second he was calling me his little sister and the next second he was looking at me like I was nothing but a minor annoyance that he had to deal with. Then other times, like right then, it was like I was the bane of his existence and he wanted me to jump out of the plane without a parachute so that he didn't have to deal with me. He was really stressing me out. part of me wanted to apologize, but the other part was saying that if I tried to befriend him again he would just cause me more pain later. At last dinner ended and I didn't have to keep looking over. It was late and John suggested that we got some sleep. So everyone made their way into the bunk room and started to get ready for bed. That included sharing two bathrooms among nine people. Which in the end made me have to get closer to Andy then I wanted to at the moment. That included the awkward moments in which one of us was standing in line for the bathroom and the other had to sidle through to get past. Leaving me at one point pressed between Andy and a wall. Not fun. Once again he left me wishing that Ashley was there.
Another thing that made wish that Ashley was there. The amount of bunks that were on the plane where just enough for all of the couples to be able to snuggle. So everyone got a cuddle buddy except for me. If Ashley was here then, whether he wanted it or not, the only place for him to sleep would be in the bunk with me. In that case I at the very least wouldn't be alone. Ella made sure to let me know that I was the only one who would be alone tonight. I'm sure she didn't mean it to hurt my feelings, but in fact it broke my heart. I was sitting on the edge of my bunk when the comment came.
"Awww, Ivy is the only one who doesn't have a cuddle buddy," Ella said with sarcastic sympathy. CC awwwed and stuck out his lower lip in a mock pout.
"Well I guess if Ash was here she'd have someone," Sammie said with a wink as she closed the curtain of he bunk. I know that they didn't mean it, but it hurt, so much that I had to lay down in my bunk and close the curtain before they could see that I was crying. Unfortunately, before I could get the curtain closed I made eye contact with the one person who I did not want to make eye contact with, you guessed it, Andy. The look on his face was not one that I expected. I was expecting a glare or a sneer at my pain, but instead he looked at me like he wanted to say something. Not like a snide remark, it looked like he wanted to comfort me. I saw sympathy. I knew that he could read emotions, CC had told me about all of their powers some time ago. I wasn't sure how I felt about Andy's powers. That meant that the entire time I'd been with them he'd been checking up on me. He probably new about the way that my heart fluttered whenever someone mentioned that we'd be seeing Ash soon. He knew that just now my heart broke at the thought of being the only one alone. He knew that right then I was lying in my bunk crying my eyes out silently so that I wouldn't disturb anyone else. I was praying that he wouldn't come over here and try to talk to me. I had no explanation for what I was feeling. I knew that was what he would ask for, the reason that I was feeling the way that I was feeling. The only explanation that I could give was that I was uselessly in love with Ash. A massive crush that stemmed from only meeting him once or twice. He probably wouldn't even remember that I existed. I imagined that he would glance right over me when I saw him, not give me a second thought. That made my heart break even more. Luckily my prayers where answered and Andy left me to wallow in pain by myself. Eventually I fell asleep, imagining that the weight of the blankets on me was actually Ashley's arms.

Notes

Hey guys, I know this one is a bit short but I'm asleep at the wheel right now. I haven't gotten any comments lately so I have no idea what you guys are thinking. Also sorry about last week, an amazing amount of homework came up as well as my last marching band trip of the year. In other news I hope to soon be putting together a Youtube channel for everything from vlogs to vocal covers, and the starts of a band that I've put together. Leave me a comment if you guys want me to link from here to my channel, also let me know what you think of the chapter. See you next week.
