On My Way (ON HOLD)

Chapter 8

"Please remain seated until told otherwise. And thank you all for boarding this flight." The stewardess who greeted us was now about to dismiss us. Finally the wait is over! It felt like I was on that damn plane for days. I get a little anxious. I hate being in a place full of people for too long. I didn't realize how many of us were on board until I see people file out row by row. It makes my stomach turn a bit. "Hey, at least I'm finally getting off." I try to call myself down. Eventually I'm successful. I decide to grab the rest of my belongings, which wasn't much, and patiently wait for my row to be escorted out. "You guys were great." The stewardess smiles at me and Keenan, I return it. I walk out and meet up with Keenan. He managed to grab both of our belongings. "Thank you kind sir." And I reach for my stuff. He tips his invisible hat. "You're welcome, my lady." He says it while trying to pull off an accent. I roll my eyes and mutter to myself. "Not your lady though." And I reach for my phone. I check my battery. "Shit, almost dead." I decide to send my babe one last text before it dies. I type out the three words that mean a lot to me. "I LOVE YOU." And then shove the dying device back in my pocket. "Alright. So what now mister?" Keenan walks over to a set of chairs and gets comfortable. "Now we just wait for the two other stooges to arrive." "Hmmm.. Great friend aren't you." He smirks. And ignores me. Two can play at that game. I decide to ignore him as well. But only for a few minutes cause then his friends arrive and I have to be "social." Keenan introduces me to Benjamin and Marcus. I shake their hands. And introduce myself to them. "Nice to finally meet you. Keenan told us about you and we thought we could you a new member to our little posse." Marcus smiles at me. "Yes, thank you for agreeing to join us. By the way just call me Benji." The other one smiles at me as well. I smile back and keep quiet. Damn. Say something. Crap, fucking social anxiety. Keenan seems to read my emotions well and tells them about my awkwardness. Luckily they are just as understanding and don't force me to speak. I face-palm myself. "Smooth Daniela. This is Definitely how you make friends." I shake my head. "Stop talking to yourself freak." I nod. I make myself useful and help the others load out stuff into Benji's car. When were finally done we all get in an are officially on the road. "Welcome to California Daniela and Keenan." The other two begin clapping which makes me laugh. I look out the window and admire the view. And then I start thinking. My love is out there, somewhere. And I'm going to find them. I begin making some small talk with the rest of the guys and then I finally decide how I'm going to find my love. I smile to myself and once again get lost in my thoughts.
