Reruns (Elizabeth Olsen Fanfic)

Chapter 74

Shannon's P.O.V.
"I really appreciate you and the team doing this for us Jake. This is just genius. Thank you."

"Well don't mention it boss, besides your safety is really our top priority and this is the only way to do that." My flight to Dallas got a bit early and Elizabeth doesn't know about it. I was suppose to fly next week but I had my doctor's permission to fly earlier to maybe surprise my girlfriend. I miss her that bad, plus, I'm thinking about proposing to her soon enough.

Jake got in talks with airport security and figured the best time to fly with no paparazzi around the area and that is at early dawn. The team led us safely into the airport with no hindrances and distraction and that is just incredible work. 

"What time will you be in Dallas?" He asks as he settles down beside me while we wait for our flight to be called. Dad is currently on his phone right now browsing through the news app he's been obsessing with while Mom is on the phone with Casey, who is surprisingly awake at this hour of the day.

"Maybe 6am or so" I smiled fiddling with my phone on my lap.

"and then?"

"And then, Dad will drive me to Seguin to surprise Elizabeth. All she knows is I'm spending the night at Zoë's because her mom is in the city and my mom is in the city so its perfect timing to have that excuse now." I let out a chuckle finally having some excuse to sneak out and by the way, in case Elizabeth calls Zoë, I already told her what to say and that I'm busy talking to her mom. She wouldn't suspect something from that. That's the thing about Elizabeth, she's strict but democratic in some way. Just as long as she knows where I am and who I'm with she's okay with that and won't even bother me unless I text her or call her. Its nice to have that.

"And you? Elizabeth told me you're on twin duties." He smiles and nods. Its still a bit awkward talking about the twins or even Trent, even though he hasn't stop going to the house visiting me or volunteering to take me to the hospital for my therapy. I know its been a month, but the wound is still fresh and maybe I'm just really ignoring the fact that they are trying to make up for something out of guilt. I'm not sure and maybe it doesn't matter at the moment.

"Yea, they have some kind of gathering.A small party, I think, and they need the team and I had an order from Lizzie to go so, yea. Flight's tomorrow."

"That's nice. Make sure they are guarded okay?"

"Roger that." He chuckles and I joined in. We continue to talk for a few moments with him asking how I was. To be honest, I really don't know. Maybe I'm still stuck in time where everything happened. No one can tell me what really happened to me on the day they found me on the beach because according to my Dad, Trent and my girlfriend, they found me all alone in that beach. I was the only one who was there, but I kept dreaming about the sea, hearing strong waves and a sky full of stars the moon illuminating the water below sending diamonds to float, it was peaceful but at the same time it was strange because I dream of it every single night. It wasn't even a nightmare, I was in a complete, peaceful state and I love it.

Anyway, I lied to Jake and say I was doing good even better since I'm on crutches already, but somehow I'm still using the wheelchair for easier transport around the house or just for me to rest after a long day of walking with them and believe it or not, he bought it. Maybe I was getting good at lying and I don't think if that's a good thing.

After quite sometime our flight was called and that we needed to board the plane immediately. Mom cautiously pushes my wheelchair while Jake helped Dad with the luggages. We got in safely and secure in the plane and settled down pretty good. I wasn't comfortable with flying let alone in wheelchair so I'm guessing this flight is going to torture me for three hours. I just hope it'll all be worth it. I know it will

We're on our way to Seguin since they're shooting the rollercoaster scene today. Lesli still sends me our schedule even though I'm currently on leave right now which is a huge advantage for me, thanks to her. To say that I'm tired would be an understatement because I'm really exhausted from the flight since I still haven't got that much sleep and my head is fucking throbbing right now, right underneath the huge scar on my forehead, but that's okay. Its still worth it because after a flight of 3 hours and a drive for another 3 hours, in less than half an hour, i'll be able to see my girlfriend in the flesh, after a whole fucking month.
