"Hello everyone. This is your captian speaking. There are storm clouds up ahead so we may experience some turbulence, but we should be fine."
You tense up. Mark holds your hand. "(Y/n) everything will be alri-"
"Passengers! Lightening has struck the left engine! We're going down!"
You started to cry really hard and held on to Mark as tight as you could.
'No. This is can't be happening!'
"NO!!!" You quickly sit up, heart racing and breathing heavy.
"(Y/n). (Y/n) are you ok?" Mark hugs you as you start to cry your heart out.
"Mom?" Alice opens the door and runs to your other side. Hugging you as well.
"I- I'm sorry guys." You finish wiping away the tears that didn't land on Mark shirt. "I just had a bad dream that's all. I'm fine."
"Are you sure mom?" You turn to her rub her cheek.
"Of course dear. Go back to sleep."
"Ok." She gets up and leaves the room.
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah. I guess."
"What happened?"
"I had a nightmare. Almost like I had that time you went to visit Thomas. We were in a plane, heading towards storm clouds. Lightning struck one of the engines. It caught fire and then plane went down. I held on to you so tight. I thought about how I would never see Alice or PB again and that would be the end for us." You started to cry again.
Mark hugs you tighter. "It's ok." He starts to rub your back. "We just won't go then."
"No." You pull out of the hug. "I'll be fine. It was only just a dream."
"Ok. Are you sure?"
"Yes love." You kiss him. Beep beep "I'm sure."
Just then Mark's alarm goes off. "Well time to get ready."
~~~~~~~
"Ok Alice before we go I just wanted to make sure to give you this."
"A phone?"
"We will try to keep in touch with you as much as we can. Both of our numbers are already in there." You hug her as though you'll never see here again. "I love you," you whisper in her ear.
"I love you too mom." She let's go and hugs her dad. "I love you too dad. See you in a week."
You got in the car and waved by to PB and Alice. You sigh. "This is going to be a long week."
"Everything will be fine. You'll have so much to do that the week will just fly by."
'I hope.'
~~~~~~~~~~
You were crossing the border over to Arizona. You watched the water of the Colorado river flow as you drove over the bridge.
"Be ready for nothing but desert and mountains for the next couple of hours."
You nod and stare out into the wide open area.
"A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again, oh no...
Once again"
You felt a hand being placed in yours. You turn and look at Mark.
"She'll be ok. She's with her bestfriend. She'll be fine."
"I know. I just haven't been this far from her since she became ours." You lean your head on his shoulder.
"Maybe try singing a better song."
"Ok let me think.
Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh yeah
Don't know why
But I love, I do
'Cause I like the way you love me
Oh, boy, oh, oh
Every time your kissin' me
Thrills me from my head to feet
And I tell myself that deep down inside
There will be no one else for me
Cause I like the way you love me
Love me, love me
Oh, boy, oh, oh
And I like the way you thrill me, oh, boy
Well, you thrill me to my soul
And I like, I like it all so
And I tell myself that deep down inside
I could never let you go
'Cause I like the way you love me
Love me, thrill me, chill me, love me, oh, baby
Oh, boy, oh, oh
And I like the way you love me, oh, boy, oh, oh
I love, your my love
You are mine."
"And you are mine."
You chuckle as you look out the window, still leaning against his shoulder. You slowly drift off to sleep.
