Love is Louder (Sequel to Addiction) A Jemi fanfic

Chapter 2: Arrival

Demi's POV

I glance out the airplane' s window seeing the sun set reflecting an orange glow, I don't know what city we are flying over right now, but it sure is breathtaking. I turn up my headphones liking the song that's playing, the flight is everlasting and exhausting. I've already slept for a while, but can't find myself closing my eyes again. The flight has about one hour left until we land, the stale air coming though the vents makes me sick hitting my face even though it should make me feel the opposite. I already want to go home very badly, every feeling of depression engulfs me as the flight goes on.

The lady next to me looks at me briefly every once and a while making me uncomfortable, then she goes back to her cross word puzzle when she sees that I saw her staring. She's been doing it the whole plane ride, I wish she would just stop. She looks middle-aged and has a ring on her finger indicating shes married, she looks like a nice lady, but why the staring? Her eyes travel to me once again making me a little angry, I tug one of my ear-buds out then ask " Is there something you need?"

She stares at me with a guilty look her eyes, then says " Sorry if i've been staring...its just, are you alright? You've been crying most of the plane ride. "

I hurry and wipe away the tears, I didn't even realize I was still crying. I hope it wasn't too noticeable. I just nod my head to her question feeling embarrassed.

" Boy problems? " she asks raising her eyebrows, I just look over at her and decide if I really want to talk to her or not.

" Sort of. " I say wondering why she even wanted to talk to me, was she just bored or was she really concerned? But why would she, we don't know each other.

" I'm sorry, boys can be cruel sometimes. " she says sighing, I wonder what had happened to her by a boy.

" No, he's not even close to cruel...it's just that I'm staying in Florida for a while, and I won't be able to see him until I go back. " I state correcting her mistake, I couldn't even think of Joe as a cruel person. That's just another impossibility for me.

" Oh I get it. " she says nodding her head slightly, I look away not really wanting to talk anymore. As I pray she won't continue, my fingers meet with my necklace Joe had given me for Christmas. I haven't taken it off since and I'm not planning on it anytime soon either. Touching it gives me a taste of his presence, his memory. The plane's pilot announces that we are landing and my hands start to shake. I am supposed to meet a women named Kate when I'm off the plane, I'm a little stressed about meeting her since shes gonna be a caretaker of mine. I'm gonna be around her a lot, so I need to get to like her or its gonna really suck for me.

When we land, the touchdown of the plane scares the hell out of me. I haven't been on a plane since I was little, so I've kind of been freaked the whole ride. It seems to take forever before we can officially get off the plane, the lady that had talked to me before told me good luck and then got off quick. I unfortunately got stuck behind a family who appeared to be dropping things every few steps, my attitude goes from depressed to annoyed. I feel bad for feeling that way, but I can't help it. When I finally get on the Jetway, I walk and hope that Kate is cool when we meet.

When I enter the airport fully, I take a deep breath when I see all the people. I could run right now and just go back home. That probably wouldn't be a great idea though, because if i'm lucky enough not to get killed in the meantime, Joe will send me right back. I look down at the piece of paper that had information on Kate that i've had in my pocket all day so I wouldn't lose it. It just says her name and has a brief description, then says to meet her in a bookstore called " Flordia's Airport Bookshop" that's beyond the security.

I walk down past the security glad that I don't have to do that again, I then see the bookstore and walk in. I only see an old couple when I go in, so I assume shes not here yet. I look around at the books and magazines trying to pass time, I grab a book that looks interesting and read the back. In the middle of the summary, it says how the main character finds herself falling in love with a boy named John. When I see that, I hurry and put the book back on it's shelf. I don't want to buy it anymore, John sounds too similar to Joe. It would just make me even more depressed.
