Uncle Sebastian

"Come on Pluto" I sniffle Then I wonder how we can bring him. "Seb? How can we bring Pluto?"

"He has a passport and I booked him a ticket" he explains hanging an arm over my shoulder. "You'll be okay"

But the words don't make me feels better. He looks at me. "Come on let's find our seat" then it begins again. Finding the seat, the horrible protocol and setting off.

"It's okay Lil" Seb rubs my hand as we ascend. "It's okay almost there" he whispers.

"Is Pluto okay?" I pant. I hear Seb chuckle. "He's fine"

"We're okay now. You can unclench your eyeballs" he chuckles.

I let out a deep sigh. "I'm okay." I look at Pluto. "He's so cute. Thank you" I look at Seb then lay my head on his shoulder. "Just 2 hours" I sigh.

"Yup. And my mum will be waiting for when we get back. Then we can get your room sorted." He states pulling out my book from my backpack and putting it on my table.

"God I miss Grandma Georgie. How is she?" I state then ask. He looks at me. "Georgeta Orlovschi. One of the greatest womens to live. She's fine. She misses you. You're another. She last saw you when you were 12 so she'll be shocked to see you've grown."

I smile pleased. "I can't wait to see her again. Tot romanesc? (Still Romanian?)" I giggle. "Fara rahat! (No shit!)" he chuckles.

"Te iubesc. (I love you)" I state opening my book. He sighs that opens his book. "Și eu te iubesc. (I love you too)" I smile to myself then look over at Pluto who's fast asleep.

This is my favourite book. I've read it like 1000 times and I probably know it word for word. It's called The Fault in the Stars.

"You going to cry about the ending again?" Seb whispers to me. I hum as a yes. "Always" I state. "Okay" he chuckles. "Maybe okay will be our always" I quote. "I'll be your shoulder to cry on" he chuckles.

I smile at him. Then I feel a sudden nausea. "Move. Let me get out. I need to-" I gag. "I need-"

"Yup!" He states quickly moving so I can get to the bathroom. It stings my throat and burns it slightly as I release into the toilet. "Fuck" I whisper. "What's up with me?" I ask myself.

There's a knock at the door. "Ma'am? Are you okay?" Someone states. "Yup. Just- just give me a sec!" I put my finger up at the door even though they can't see it. I groan and wipe my mouth then flush the toilet, pulling myself up and straightening myself up.

Unlocking the door, I exit giving an awkward smile to the flight attendant. "Do you need water ma'am?" She asks. I nod. "What's your seat number?"

"F16" I groan, placing my hand on my head. "Take a seat ma'am" she gestured for me to go back to my seat. I smile and walk back.

"I'll book your doctors appointment as soon as we get back" Seb states standing up and allowing me to sit down. I just nod.

"How you feeling?" He asks placing down his book and looking at me. "I don't know Seb, I just threw up I'm fine" the flight attendant comes with a bottle of water and a menu. "Pick anything off here, you may need to eat something" she states.

"Thank you" I smile. She walks away so she doesn't put pressure on me.

How nice.

It makes me feel better.

"That looks nice"

"God! Cake!"

"What about that?" I ask looking at Seb, he's laughing at me.

"Get what you want sweetie" He smiles.

I click the light for the flight attendant and ask for a small chocolate cake because it's amazing.

About 5 minutes later she comes back with my cake. "Enjoy ma'am" she smiles walking away.

I smile back and Seb looks at my cake drooling. "Can I-" he goes to take a small crumb, so I smack his hand. "Uh Uh Uh. No. Is mine!" I state sitting comfortably in my seat.

Pluto whimpers beside me. I look at him. "Uh, doggies can't have chocolate mister" I pet him then look back at my cake.

Taking a small bite, it doesn't taste right. "You can have it because I don't wanna be sick again" I crumple my face up in disgust. He looks at me confused. "It's chocolate cake?" He states the obvious.

"It's shit cake" I wipe my mouth and pass him the cake.

"I'm just going to...just going to sleep. I'm so tired" I sigh, lifting the arm of the chair up so I can lay with Pluto. "Mhm." He's scoffing down the cake. "God this is good" he smiles, looking at me. But I just look at him with disgust. "Wow. You really eat what you speak. Shit" I roll my eyes and get my blanket. Just...need to...close my eyes...

"Darling." It's that pleasing voice. "Hello my darling" and his smile. I look at my father with happy tears. "Oh PAPA! It's been a while" I whisper as I hug him.

"My sweetie. It's only been a few days. You've been keeping away from him..." a gentle hand strokes the back of my head, threading his fingers through my hair.

"Papa...I can't stop the nightmares. Not of the day it happened...not of everything he's done..." I sob into his chest. "I'm sorry sweetie." He states. He pushes me away from him slightly so he can look at me. His hands pressed to my cheeks.

"You know...everything goes so slow here. When you wake up 2 hours will have gone by. I only have little time left. 20 seconds darling" he explains, we both sit looking over the gorgeous ocean view.

"This just reminds me off your eyes" he whispers planting a kiss to my temple. I lay my head on his shoulder and he lays his head on top of mine.

"My eyes have darkened Papa. They've turned darker like when you see the deeper parts" I sigh. "I know" he whispers.

"Papa...why did you have to leave?" I ask, but I fall. I see the dust. "Papa..." I whisper to myself, a tear rolls down my cheek.

"Hey, wake up...Lily?" I groan. "Lilian, you're going to land" I open my eyes at Sebs voice.

"Come on sweetie. Wake up." Sebastian lifts me up gently. "I'm up" I whine, contorting my face. He chuckles.

I put my seat belt on and get ready to land.
