"Guys!" Kyle yells, throwing his hat at Woody and Chrissy kissing in the airport.
"I haven't seen my husband for 10 months! Shut up!" Chrissy tells us. Me and Will laugh as Kyle grumpily grabs his hat from the floor.
"Janna's here." I tell him with a grin. His eyes light up and he runs towards Jannas who's laughing, her arms open for a hug.
"Janna and Chrissy aren't the only ones waiting for us." Will mutters. I look around for Awuoi but Will shakes his head, pointing to the door. Ralph is stood there, looking nervous.
"I don't want to see him." I tell Will.
"Well he's stood in the doorway and you're going to have to leave at some point." I sigh and grab my suitcase.
"Hey Dan, how was it." Janna asks. I smile at her, giving her a thumbs up. She looks over to the doorway and nods understandingly. I come to a stop in front of Ralph, keeping my head held high. "Hello Ralph."
"Dan! Hey! How are you? How was the tour?"
"What're you doing here?"
"Dan I wanted to say sorry." he says. I clench my fists, trying to keep my anger down.
"You've said sorry before. And you promised it was the only time and that it wouldn't happen again. You promised!"
"I know I did! And I broke it and I hate myself for it. But none of us knew this was going to happen." He sounds desperate, pleading for my forgiveness. Before I can control myself my fist swings out, hitting him in the jaw. He stares at me in shock. He hits me in the stomach, anger twisting his features. Everything turns red and I swing again, over and over. I no longer care where I hit him, I just want to hurt him for hurting me. I can feel him hitting me back but I don't care.
"Dan stop it! Come on please." Will grabs my arms, pulling me back.
"No I have to do this." I try to wriggle away from him but Kyle steps in front of me.
"No you don't Dan. You don't have to do this. Come on, lets go." They both manage to get me out and into the taxi, Woody, Chrissy and Janna following with our suitcases.
"You okay now?" Chrissy asks me softly. I take deep breaths and nod uncertainly.
"I just want to go home." I mutter. I watch Ralph walk out of the airport and get into his own car. "We'll take you home, don't worry." Janna tells me, keeping my hair out of my eyes, carefully wiping the blood from my nose.
"We'll get you cleaned up okay?" I nod and smile at her.
"Thanks guys." I mutter, starting to regret what I did.
