Solar Blue Returns (Blue Water High Fan Fiction)

Part 19/20: Fight Or Flight

Fly is at the airport, waiting for her flight to Perth. Suddenly, she hears a familiar voice echoing from behind.

Perri: Look who it is.

Fly: (turns around) Perri? What are you doing here?

Perri: Well, my flight back to the Gold Coast got cancelled, so I'm stuck here, as of now.

Fly: Ugh. Tough luck.

Perri: Yeah... By the way, what the hell happened to you last night?

Fly: ... I left.

Perri: Yeah, that I know. But Heath looked completely broken, and said something about you leaving permanently. What's going on?

Fly: I'm just going back to Perth. That's all.

Perri: Why? I thought you wanted to be a coach.

Fly: I do. But I can't stand living in the same house as Heath.

Perri: Oh, come on! You're not gonna throw away the chance of a lifetime, just because of something that happened 20 years ago.

Fly: Look, you don't really know how I felt, alright? He dumped me.

Perri: So? That was in the past. He's a big boy now. I'm sure he's gotten a brain, in the meantime.

Fly: I can't go back there. If we start going out again, he might do the same thing.

Perri: He won't, alright? I talked to Matt last night. He says Heath is completely in love with you.

Fly: And what does Matt know?

Perri: A lot. We stay in touch all the time. He tells me a lot about Heath.

Fly: ... What does he tell you?

Perri: Heath's changed. He might still have that goofy aura, but he's a very different person now, especially when it comes to relationships. All he wants is to settle down with the one. And you're the one, Fly... So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna fight for the love of your life? Or are you gonna chicken out to Perth?

Airport Announcer: Last call for the flight to Perth. I repeat, last call for the flight to Perth.

Perri: What's it gonna be, Fly Watson?

Fly: ... Ah, crap. Fine, I'll go fight for him.

[Fly hugs Perri]

Fly: Thanks.

Perri: Don't mention it. Just go. Go, before you change your mind, and get in that stupid plane. Go!
