staying?â Bart asked.
âHowever long yâall want us to,â they said.
âForever!â Nash and I said in unison. The girls looked at each other and blushed.
âOkay, letâs go get our bags and go to the hospital. I want to see Autumn!â Shaelyn said. We all said okay and walked over to the baggage claim. I put my arm around Bailey and pulled her into my side. I missed my girl!
Bailey
Iâm finally here after six grueling hours of the stupid plane and airport. But Iâm okay now because Iâm with my best friends.
Flashback to Six Hours Before
For some god-awful reason Shae wanted to get there twenty minutes early and wait, so when we got there, we wasted our two-hour delay in Security because Shaelyn didnât know she had a penny in her pocket and then we had to literally run to the gate.
Then, on the plane, there was a screaming baby, a child who wouldnât stop kicking the back of my seat, and a fat man who wouldnât get his head off my shoulder when he slept. Oh, and when he wasnât sleeping, he ate Twinkies and did not share! Waterbugs!
But at the end of the flight, it was pretty great. There was Alyssa, a cute eleven-year-old girl who noticed Shae and me. It was funny because she started screaming and was like âOMG, ITâS BAILEY JOHNSON AND SHAELYN KOWASKI! AM I DREAMING? SOMEONE PINCH ME!â So Shaelyn and I pinched her, and then she had another fangirl moment while Shae and I were laughing and smiling.
âDo you want a picture or something?â I asked her.
âYes, OMG, it would mean the world! AHHH!â She got out her white iPhone 5s and handed it to a lady nearby.
We did one smiling picture, a waterbugs one, and one where Shaelyn and I had Alyssa in a cradle kind of pose and did silly faces.
âWhatâre your Instagram and Twitter?â Shaelyn asked her.
âMy Instagram is Alyssa_Skye, and my Twitter is 26_Lover_101.â She blushed.
âThose are cute. Do you wanna know what Shaeâs Twitter was before she met the boys?â I asked her, smirking at Shae.
âWhat was it?â Alyssa asked excitedly.
âNo, letâs notââ Shae said uneasily.
âIt was Thirsty_for_Nash!â I said, laughing with Alyssa while Shaelyn blushed.
I noticed the lady who had taken the picture had gone somewhere. Hmmm. âHey, Alyssa, was that lady who took the picture your mom? And where did she go?â I asked, panicky. I didnât want her to be alone.
âOh, um, no. Sheâs my caretaker at the new foster home Iâm going to live in, and she went to get the car,â Aly said, looking down. I gave her a huge hug and asked her where it was.
âItâs in Mooresvilleâor something like that.â
âReally? Thatâs where Nash and Hayes live! We will totally visit sometime. Here, let me see your phone, and Iâll put our numbers in!â I told her.
She looked at me in shock as she held out her phone. âAm I really getting numbers for the Bailey Johnson and the Shaelyn Kowaski? I must be dreaming!â she said in disbelief.
âDonât think of us like that. Think of us as your new big sisters!â Shaelyn said.
âThanks so much! If it werenât for you and the guys, I wouldnât be here today. You saved my life,â she said seriously. I started to tear up and gave her a giant hug. Shaelyn joined the hug, and we just stayed like that for a good few minutes.
âSince youâre our new little sister, youâre bound to meet our best friends sometime, so how about once you get situated, you text me or Shae, and weâll come to pick you up at your foster home. Weâll take you out for the day to meet the guys and Autumn. Itâll be great! How does that sound?â I asked her.
âOh my fudge nuts, that sounds awesome! I love you guys so much! Yâall are the best big sisters ever! And I canât wait to meet
