Avoiding the 0 negitive

Chapter 10

I wish I could sleep like that. I'll end up staying awake the entire flight and walk of the plane with some serious back pains.

How could she even think of sleeping? Some creeps were following her around, trying to kidnap her. Poor thing. She must be exhausted.

I woke to the rumbling of turbulence of the plane. The violent shaking must have kept every one but me awake. I looked over at Austin to find that he was gripping his chair. He had bags under his eyes and every time the plane moved to the side, he winced.

"Are you okay?" I asked putting my hand on his arm.

"No, the plane almost dropped out of the sky a few minuets ago and the captain said that we might have to make an emergency landing."

"Oh," I didn't get to finish my sentence when the captains voice came over the enter come.

"Attention passengers, we are only 15 minuets away from our destination. We apologize for worrying you about the turbulence we endured a few moments ago. Thank you, enjoy your flight."

"See, we'll be okay." I patted him on the shoulder. "Relax."

Austin's grip on his chair loosened and, slowly, he started to slump down in his seat. "You're right."

"So, this friend of yours, Zander, was it? Will he be picking us up in the air port?"

"Yeah. And since she don't have any luggage beside your purse, we can just skip baggage claim and head out the door."

"What about customs?" I asked looking out the window.

"It's easier then you think. I'm a Spanish citizen and you have a visa right.?"

I nodded in agreement

"Then maybe, we'll be there for 10 minuets."

"Wow," I sighed "I guess that's easy enough."

The plane dropped slightly and Austin instantly gripped the chair. Maybe he's afraid of flying?"It's alright," I said holding his hand "We're about to land, remember?"

"Yeah." He sighed.

I stared at him for a while. The plane dropped again, he winced.

This was starting to worry. He looked as if he would pass out. "Austin," I whispered "you'll be fine." I lay my head on his shoulder and grabbed his hand again.

He looked at me in surprise. I looked up at him and smiled.

I then remembered that he might be some creep, waiting for the right time to kill me.

I took a deep breath and thought of what my mom used to say to me when I was unsure of some one, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."
