The car ride to the airport was basically hell. The tears didn't stop, the aching feeling in my heart got worse, and all I could think about were my friends that I left behind.

I felt a hand tap my shoulder, so I took my earphones out and stared directly towards my dad, waiting for him to talk.

"Listen, darling, don't be angry with me, it's hardly my fault." He sighed, eyes concentrated on the road in front of us as we pulled into the airport.

"It's not your fault? Oh hang on, wait, I must've gotten it all wrong; did you not take everything away from me by making me move halfway across the world without my opinion on the whole situation?!" I said, the volume in my voice raising more and more with each word I spoke.

"Didn't think you'd have an answer." I said bitterly since my dad didn't reply, he just stared down at his lap. I got out of the car and plugged my headphones back in, grabbing my bag and slamming the car door shut; just so he kew exactly how angry I was.

I knew I couldn't ignore him forever, but I was waiting for an apology before I started speaking to him again. I'd always been a stubborn girl, just like my mother used to be. I completely understood the fact that this promotion would be the best thing for him, I knew I'd have to move one way or another, but I just wished he'd sat down and spoken to me properly about the whole thing, asked how I felt. That's all I asked for; and he couldn't even do that. It was literally just 'Bells we're moving, better start packing everything up'. My opinion wasn't even asked for; not once.

"Do you want anything to eat before we board honey?" My dad questioned as we walked through the busy airport. I shook my head no, and simply carried on walking towards our gate by his side.

We finally arrived at our gate, and soon enough we were boarding onto the plane, heading to a destination witch i'd soon have to call home.
Airplanes had never bothered me, I even enjoyed them back when I was a little kid, so it didn't take me that long to settle down into my seat, witch was awfully uncomfortable. I plugged my headphones in as the plane took off, and soon enough I was fast asleep, hoping the long hours would pass by quickly.

I woke up to the feeling of someone shaking my shoulder lightly, and the only person who could possibly be doing that was my father. I opened my eyes a tiny bit, coming face to face with my father.

I opened them fully, removing my headphones from my ears, staring directly at my dad. He must've woken me up for a reason, this flight definitely wasn't over yet.

"What do you want dad?" I asked groggily, stretching in my seat the best I could manage, witch wasn't at all that easy since I was on a plane, sat in an awfully uncomfortable seat.

"Are you hungry? Do you want anything to eat or drink before we land?" My dad questioned, staring at me for some kind of answer.

"No thanks, I'm good. How long until we land?" I questioned, reconnecting my headphones once again.

"We land in twenty minutes; you've been asleep for ages." My dad chuckled, taking a sip of the small paper cup in front of him witch I guessed was coffee because of the strong smell.

"Good to know." I yawned, plugging my headphones in for the last twenty minutes of the flight, before we finally landed in Australia. I never thought I would've slept for that long on a flight; heck I didn't even think I'd sleep at all, but oh well; at least it passed by quickly enough.

'Another successful flight, ladies an gentlemen. You may now pick up your belongings and exit the airplane, seems to be a lovely day here in Sydney; have a good trip!'
