(i altered the time difference between britain and bahrain for the story🙏)

IT WAS A COLD, rainy evening in britain, not like it was a surprise. it had almost been two months since linnea had seen ollie. the childhood friends still facetimed whenever they could, but ollie had been getting more busy as the season was starting this weekend.

the evermoore family was eating dinner at their kitchen island, in silence. when belle told richard about their daughters breakdown, he had told her about the plans him and david had made in return. she was happy that her daughter would see her boy again, hoping it would help cheer her up.

linnea had been getting gloomier and gloomier as the days passed, and everyone knew why. it had made richard and belle feel bad about not telling her about going to bahrain, but they wanted to keep it a surprise.

"girls, me and your mother have a surprise." linnea's father smiled, lisa groaned. "please, don't tell me we're going to that boring ass museum again." the youngest spoke.

belle and richard laughed, "no, sweetheart, we're going on a surprise vacation." the girls' mother said, grinning. this seemed to lighten up lisa, the girl starting to cheer. linnea smiled at her parents, "where are we going?" she asked.

"that's for us to know and for you to find out innnnn two days." their father smiled, this made lisa groan again. "just please tell me it's sunny, i can't take the british weather anymore." she pleaded.

"it's warm there, yes." belle confirmed, smiling at her daughters. lisa put her hands together, pointing her fingers up to the sky, "i wanna thank my mum, my dad, my dog. thank god!" she sighed dramatically.

"what about me?!" linnea called out, offended. "you did nothing." lisa deadpanned. "koda is literally a dog?" the older sister said.

"i thank koda everyday, for simply living and breathing." lisa said, matter-of-factly. "that's fair." linnea shrugged, shoving another fork of pasta in her mouth.

"we're flying on the night of the 27th to the 28th, we should get there at about 11am in the morning. it's an international flight so be sure to pack your passport." belle told her daughters, lisa again, groaning.

"oh, the jet lag is gonna SUCK!" she raised her voice, linnea smiling sarcastically at her little sister, "you'll live."

*.•🌷•.*

linnea's parents had called everyone in sick for work or school, declaring the next day as, quote, 'packing day'. linnea had stuffed her suitcase with all sorts of clothes, as she didn't exactly know where they were going and what the weather would be like. she packed her make up, skin care and shower stuff.

she had been facetiming ollie while packing and was now just laying in her bed, talking with him on the phone. "bahrain is so hot, i'm for real having a heatstroke." ollie complained to linnea, the girl smiling in response.

he was shirtless, laying in his hotel bed. it was early in the morning for him and it was about 3pm for linnea. ollie only had to train today and he could do that whenever he wanted.

"you'll survive, oliver. you're a big boy." the girl smiled, teasing the boy. "big boys can be hot." he stated, frowning. he realized what he said and smirked, "in more ways then one." he jokingly winked at the girl on the facetime call.

she cursed at herself in her head as she actually blushed at the dumb joke, "you're so not funny." she said, unable to contain her smile. "and yet you smile." ollie grinned, victorious.

"that's just my normal reaction to seeing your ugly face." she straight up lies, trying to deny the fact that she had found him attractive as soon as she saw him again at christmas.

"now you're just lying to lie, nea. you think i'm handsome." he smiled teasingly, linnea looked at him disgusted, "i don't lie, oliver, i never lie." she said innocently.

"oh really? what about that one time when we were young, you said john lennon was your grandpa? and that one time when you swore you saw a ghost in my room just because you wanted to scare me?" the boy reminded her of her being a menace when they were still kids.

"okay but the last one was funny." linnea grinned, ollie immediately shaking his head, "no, absolutely not." he stated. "i didn't sleep that night and cried to mum the day after."

linnea cackled at her younger self, praising her for doing that. "yeah, that was great." she grinned, ollie's serious face dropped and turned into an admiring smile.

it was around 4pm when linnea's mother came into her room, calling her for early dinner. the family had decided they wanted to eat early and get some hours of sleep before their flight.

linnea had kissed her front camera, saying bye to ollie. the boy had grinned like a child on christmas.

the evermoore family ate their dinner and all went off to their rooms to try and get some sleep. linnea fell asleep within 20 minutes of her head hitting the pillow.

linnea's mother had shook her awake around 1am, telling her to get her stuff to the taxi and change into her airport outfit. the girl already had the outfit neatly folded, laying on her desk chair.

she quickly put it on and started hauling her heavy suitcase down the stairs. she gave off her suitcase to the taxi driver, who seemed to pick it up and put it in the trunk with ease.

linnea had opted for her headphones instead of her airpods for the flight, deeming them more comfortable to sleep on. she had her handbag with her passport and essentials with her as well.

the family thanked the taxi driver and payed him as they arrived. the taxi driver also helped them take out their suitcases and wished them a nice vacation.

the evermoore's checked in and got their boarding passes. they had waited in the lobby for their gate to be called.

"international flight to bahrain airport, boarding now."

"that's us." richard smiled, waiting for linnea's reaction. the girls head shot up, "are you for real?!" she almost yelled. belle nodded at her daughter, who's eyes widened as she grinned.

"thank you! thank you! thank you!" she repeated as she hugged her parents. lisa had smiled brightly also, as the whole bearman family was currently in bahrain, which meant she got to see charlotte again.

"well! come on then, do you wanna see ollie or not?" her dad said, letting go of the hug. "YES. i mean yes." she sputtered, her parents laughing at her antics.

as soon as she sat down on the plane, she was out like a light. she didn't even think about texting ollie about where they were heading.

*.•🌷•.*

linnea awoke to her mother shaking her again, much like a few hours earlier. "we landed, lin." belle smiled, linnea groaning and slowly getting up.

they picked up their luggage, checked out and left the airport. terri had come to pick them up, smiling as she saw the family approach her.

linnea was the one who reached her first, terri pulling her into a sweet hug. "hi terri!" she said, excitedly. "hi, lin." the older woman smiled happily at the teen girl.

once everyone had greeted terri, they all crammed into the black suv. the drive to the hotel was not that long, linnea was getting more excited by the minute.

"does ollie know about this?" linnea asked the adults, who all shook their heads. "nope, we wanted to surprise you both. he's in room 605, sixth floor, fifth room." terri answered, making eyecontact with linnea through the mirror.

they all arrived at the hotel around 12pm, linnea immediately waving her parents and sister goodbye, only terri following her into the elevator. linnea wanted her to film ollie's reaction for funzies.

the teen girls' heart raced as she knocked on the hotel room door. she heard some shuffling and finally the door opened, and she felt as if she could barely breathe.

terri had filmed the shocked face of her son, before the boy pulled the smaller brunette into his arms. linnea's ecstatic laugh could be heard throughout the halls of the hotel, as she hugged him back.

"i missed you." ollie whispered into her hair, his eyes closed. "i missed you more, bear." she smiled into his chest.

bear. it had been the first time linnea had called him that since they found each other again. she used to call him that in special moments or when she was really sincere or excited.

the tall boy had squeezed her tighter for a few seconds after she had called him that, letting her know he liked the nickname being back.

as they finally pulled away from the hug, they could see terri's smile. "i'll leave you kids alone." she told them quickly, walking back to the elevator, which was thankfully still on their floor.

ollie ushered linnea into his hotel room, telling her to make herself comfortable. "how are you here? not that i mind! just how?" ollie asked- or rather, sputtered.

"mum and dad said they had a surprise vacation for us but didn't tell us where to. when they called the bahrain gate and dad told us that was ours, i think i cried a little." linnea smiled at the boy, who still seemed a little in shock.

it was silent for a few seconds before the boy launched himself into her on the bed, starting to tickle her. linnea had squealed and giggled wildly, trying to wiggle her way out of his grip.

"stop! stop! STOP!" she kept pleading, while still laughing. finally, ollie listened and stopped to let the girl breathe. "i know i was laughing but tickling might just be the worst form of torture, ever." linnea stated, panting.

after a few seconds of silence, there was a knock on the door, "yo, ollie, you good man?" a male voice could be heard from the other side of the door.

ollie seemed to recognize the voice, standing up from the bed and opening the door again. "hey paulito. yeah, i'm good." he chuckled, glancing back at linnea, who stuck his tongue out at him.

"who's in there with you?" paul chuckled while asking. "oh, linnea is here. y'know, the girl i told you about." ollie answered, smiling. the girl took this as her cue to also get up and walk to the door.

she was met with a boy, shorter then ollie but still taller then her. he had blonde curls, blue eyes and a sweet smile. "hi! i'm linnea, call me lin though." she stuck out her hand, which the blonde boy took. "i'm paul, nice to put a face to the name." he said.

ollie quickly changed the subject, "do you guys mind if i bring nea tonight?" he asked paul, who shrugged. "i don't mind, you seem cool." he turned his gaze to linnea as he said the last part. "thank you paulito, you seem cool too." she'd smiled back at the blonde.

"i'll just text the other guys." ollie replied, paul nodding. they dabbed each other up and paul waved bye to linnea as he retreated into his own hotel room.

ollie and linnea also went back inside the hotel room, "what are we doing tonight?" she asked immediately as the door closed. "oh, nothing fancy. we were gonna have a guys night, playing sim and stuff. if you don't wanna join that's fine too. i forgot i didn't ask you." the boy replied.

"oh no, it's okay. sounds fun, i'll come with you, if they'll have me." linnea said, honestly. she would love to meet ollie's friends as he did hers, with new years.

the boy nodded, smiling. he grabbed his phone and immediately went to text the group chat.
