May 18, 2017 - part two *
Halsey's POV
Trembling and quietly sobbing. The girl, who I learned is Catherine, hasn't stopped crying. The flight we were scheduled on left an hour ago, but I wasn't concerned. My manager approached and let me know that there would be a flight leaving in an hour, but it had a layover along the way, so that is what we'll take. After my manager moves away to secure our seats, and look into getting our luggage held in Vegas since it left with the plane an hour ago, Catherine lifts her head and makes eye contact with me. "I'm so sorry." she softly says. I gave her a questioning gaze, and she continued "I'm causing you so many problems. We missed our flight because of me, and now you're going to be late! I'm such a bother. I can head home, and not cause any more trouble..."
I give a soft smile and tell her that she is no trouble. I assure her that I am not late, and only looking forward to getting to know her better. I take her hand and pull her with me to a coffee shop where we order some snacks. When we have our stuff and are back in the lounge, I take a chance and ask her the questions on my mind. "What happened Catherine? Why are you here alone? And why were you crying?" She looks down and says "I'm just bad luck. Everything always goes wrong, and I feel like I am not meant to have good things." I'm confused, but don't press just yet. We have hours to go before we will be in Las Vegas so I'll take some time to get to know what is going on.
Catherine's POV
I can't believe we missed our plane... because of me... I am such a complete loser. And how pathetic am I to just break down in front of Halsey!?!?! Please let the earth open up and swallow me!!! She is so sweet, and not at all what I was expecting. I guess I figured that this contest was something that her label came up with, and she was forced to do. So why would she want to deal with the mess that I am? But, she held me in her arms and let me cry. She spoke soothing words to me, and even hummed some songs to me while I was sobbing. When B finds out about this, she is going to smack me... She gets upset with me when I hold everything in, and then end up having these breakdowns. I just don't want to bother anyone. Everyone has their own stuff, why should they have to deal with mine also?
2 hours later
The girls were settled in their first class seats, and had been talking for the past hour. They found that they have a lot in common, and Halsey even told Cath to call her Ashley. Catherine had started to open up about the things that had happened to her, and Ashley felt nothing but sympathy for this beautiful girl. She had been dealt a crappy hand in life, and Ashley was hoping that she could find a way to help her find her smile while they were together. Of course, she knew that there was going to be a lot of time spent alone for Catherine while in Vegas, and she hoped that she wouldn't sink further into her negative thoughts. They arrived in the city where the plane was laid over, and they both got out to stretch their legs. Catherine suddenly said she wanted to have a cigarette. Ashley was quite stunned, and Catherine laughed sheepishly saying "I do it when I am overwhelmed and anxious. It's an awful habit I know, but it really calms me down." Ashley was no one to judge as she had smoked her share of many things, so she approached her manager and asked him to find a place where Catherine could have a smoke.
After the cigarette break, the girls made their way back to the first class lounge. They had 2 more hours to go before the flight would take off again, and both women decided to lay down in the lounges provided and try to nap. They were both wrapped in blankets provided by the airline and eventually they drifted off. Halsey's manager woke them up a few minutes before the plane was to board, and they both stretched, and got their stuff together. Catherine was feeling much better about things now, but she was also nervous about what was going to happen once they got to Vegas. She would have to entertain herself while Halsey was in rehearsals and interviews. But she didn't let it get her too upset, and tried to live in the moment. She couldn't wait to get to the hotel and call Bridget. After that she planned to take a looooong bath and then maybe sleep for a day.
???'s POV
Aaaahh.... Why am I so nervous about this? It's not like it is the first time. But this time is different. It's an American awards show, and my English is not very good. I am trying, but I always get something wrong. And I really don't like to sound stupid. What if someone asks me a question? What if one of my favorite celebrities talks to me? At concerts, we practice our speeches beforehand, and don't deviate from it, so it always seems we know more than we do. I'm not confident enough to say anything I haven't practiced. Also, every time we are in America, or another foreign country, understanding people that are talking is difficult because it's so fast... Most of the other members will speak in Korean and let hyung translate for them. This bothers me because I hate to burden him more than he is. And I feel like it's disrespectful to not at least TRY to speak the language. I've been working on studying my English the whole flight, and we only have 2 more hours. I feel like I've gotten worse the closer we get... How is that possible?!? Maybe I should just rest my brain for the rest of the flight and close my eyes. The other members are sleeping as if they have no worries, but I just haven't been able to. I feel like something is about to happen, and I am nervous like I never have been before.
