Chapter 9

She hung up the phone and sighed. "Are you okay?" I asked

She looked down at the floor and nodded. "I'll be fine."

Tears started rolling down her checks. "Hey, don't cry. Everything's gonna be fine." I lifted her hand in to mine. "I'll make sure no one hurts you."

She looked up at me. Tears still falling from her eyes. "I know that your going to protect me," she wiped her face with her sleeve. "Lest head to our plane."

We both stood up and started walking towards the gate.

We were sitting in our seats for about an hour until a flight attendant walked over to us two glasses if Champaign. "Would you two like a drink?" She asked gesturing to her tray.

Austin was about to say no but I butted in. "Yes please. And could I bother you for a candy bar."

"Of course." She gave us each a glass and put the tray under her arm. "What kind of sweets would you like?"

"Two twix bars please." I said taking a sip of my champaign.

"I'll be right back." She walked away.

"What was that?" Austin asked

"Champaign helps you sleep. I'm not a big fan of flying, so I do everything I can to sleep through the entire flight."

He looked at me and smiled. "Candy doesn't help you sleep."

"Yes it dose."

"Alright. Whatever."

The flight attendant came back with my candy and laid it in my hand. "I hope you enjoy your flight." She smiled and walked away.

I took a big sip of champaign and started opening up the twix wrapper. "Are you gonna drink your champaign?" I asked Austin.

"I'm only gonna have half, you can have the rest." He took a sip and set down his glass." Slow down. Your going to get sick."

"No I'm not!" I took a bite out of my twix. "I never get sick from drinking. I drank half a bottle of wine once and didn't even get the slightest bit drunk." I kept eating my twit bar. "Besides I don't really drink. Only once in a while ill have a glass of wine with my grandma."

"She sounds cool." He shifted in his seat.

"I guess." After that the speaker came on.

"Attention all passengers, we will begin our flight in a few minuets. Please buckle your seat belts and keep your tray tables up until we hit cursing altitude. Enjoy your flight." He repeated the same thing in Italian. A few minuets later we were on our way.

I had finished my twist and was half way through my champaign. My eyes were heavy and I started leaning over to Austin. It was only a matter of seconds before I fell asleep.

[Austin]

We were only a few minuets in to the flight when I felt Nina lean on my arm. Even though she had her entire first class pod, she just had to make me uncomfortable. But I can't get up and mover her just yet.

I shifted slightly and moved her head onto her chair. A small moan escaped he mouth and she turned on her side.
