one week later. thank you adri for the picture

This is it, our break is finally here. I've practically been packed for years. At least, thats what it felt like. Our trip was to Miami, which I thought was really cool. We were at the airport now, getting our tickets.

I was seated with Taylor.

Calum was in front of us.

Fletch, Ash and Jack were sitting across the aisle.

Finally, Kaylee, Blaise and Luke were seated behind Taylor and I.

"Are you excited?" Calum whispered to me, his hand on the small of my back.

I smiled warmly, nodding. "Are you?"

"Very. I can't wait to see you, at the beach in Miami, maybe in a bikini.." He was half joking, and I slapped his arm, giggling.

Plane 625 to Miami is now boarding.

"That's our flight guys, let's go!" Ashton said, earning excited cheers from all of us.

I could hardly wait to get to the sunny Miami Beach.

I threw my bag into the storage overhead, letting Taylor take the window seat and then sitting down next to her. The third seat was one of the empty, unbooked seats on the plane. I looked past Tay, out the window and at everything going on outside. Logan Airport was flooded with college students going home or coming back.

My attention was grabbed by a groan from Calum in front of us, and I couldn't help but laugh as I saw that he was seated with an elderly couple.

"Tay, switch seats with me!' He pleaded, causing Taylor to wrap her arm around my shoulders, "no, Noelle is mine!" We both erupted into giggles, and I stuck my tongue out at him.

He turned around, cursing to himself.

"So, have you guys had sex yet?" Taylor asked suddenly, like it was no big deal.

"What? No! Taylor!"

"What? I'm curious!"

"thats not something you just ask!" I scolded her, pouting.

"Okay okay, I'm sorry."

"Its okay!"

"When do we take off?"

"Uhh.." I looked around, then back at her. "I dunno. Soon I hope."

Attention passengers, this is your captain speaking. the boarding gates have just closed. Take off is in 20 minutes. Thank you for choosing American Airlines, I hope you enjoy the flight.

"Well that answers that question," I shrugged, resting my head on Taylors shoulder.

"I can't wait to be in Miami with my best friends and my brother. This is going to be so exciting."

"I wonder if we could have plane sex.." My eyes widened at what Taylor said.

"Shit, did I say that out loud?"

We took off a half hour ago. It wasn't supposed to be a long flight, I know that. I could barely sit still, but looking out the window helped. The ride so far was mostly smooth, much to my pleasure, and everybody else's.

I had my headphones on the whole time though, listening to Halsey and Lana Del Rey. I was drifting off to sleep, but was sadly interrupted by the flight attendants disappear to the front and back of the plane, and there is a PA message telling them to take their seats, followed by one telling the passengers to take their seats and fasten their seatbelts.

Taylor looked at me worriedly. Our worries increased when the captain came on. Attention passengers, the left engine has stopped unexpectedly. We are going to try an emergency landing. Please stay in your seats with seatbelts on no matter what, and have faith. Thank you.

"If anything happens Noelle, tell everybody that I love them." She said quickly.

"That makes it sound like we're gonna die.. We're gonna be fine, right?" I asked, and she bit her lip. "Right?!"

Taylor didn't answer me.

The plane was going down.

Quickly.

The emergency landing idea I guess didn't work out, because it felt like we were doing a nose dive down the air to the ground, probably in Virginia or somewhere near there. Everybody around me was freaking out, but I couldn't seem to react. I heard a couple windows smash, probably loose items breaking them. I looked to the window side, and all I saw was red. I heard somebody scream Taylor's name, but I didn't know who. All of my senses seemed to fail me, because I couldn't tell anything. I think I shut down.

I don't think we're going to Miami this year.

~•~

There were bright lights everywhere, and I unbuckled my seat belt. The plane stopped, so I figured it was safe. I fell against the seat in front of me, where Calum was sitting. Except, he wasn't there. Where was he? Where is everybody? Why is it so hard for me to breathe? I had blood all over my hands, but I didn't feel any pain. I got out of my seat, nearly falling five times as I climbed out of the plane. Luckily, we crashed in a field, but the nose of the plane was crushed completely. Most of the windows were cracked, and there were ambulances everywhere. By looking at the plane, you could tell it flipped a few times before it finally settled. I hoped nobody was too hurt. Every move I made made it that much harder to get breath in and out of my lungs. Thats probably not good. I gasped for breath at this point. My vision seemed to get blurrier and blurrier as I walked, so I stopped. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I didn't know who, because my vision was too out of focus. All I remember after that is being taken to a hospital.

"Get her into surgery, now!"

BY THE WAY YOU GUYS THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR 1K OH MY GOSH IM SO CRYING EMOJI!!!
