Day Of Flight...

Holy Fuck I am going to die. The plane is going to crash. I will die a fiery death while it explodes. My body will be unrecognizable to my parents and brother, I'll just be another ghost,they won't be able to find my body . I thought to myself. The anxious feeling rolling over me. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest, the room was starting to get smaller and start spinning. I always freaked out about this kind of stuff. I always thought of the worst possible outcome. Usually resulting in my death; well a horrific way I guess.

I hated the fact I was traveling without Cooper. He was my scape goat. My crutch. My anti anxiety medicine. I don't know why but lately I have been getting feelings for him. He seems to be feeling the same, or there was something going on with him. I've known him for over 10 years but this was different.  He was different, I was different. I think Alex was a big part to do with this. I think, no, I know Cooper is jealous of him, but he won't admit it. Cooper was stubborn, but so was I.

Cooper even spent the night, again. To make sure I was alright due to my nervousness and anxiety about the flight. I told him he didn't need to but he insisted. 

I heard a pair of footsteps come towards me that cut my thoughts off. The footsteps placed their arms around me and the familiar scent of him; peppermint and a light scent of cologne. Which was my favorite on him.  His familiarity took away a bit of my insecurities. I felt his mouth on the corner of my face where his lips touched my cheek. Leaving a wet kiss on it. He swung me around to face him and looked into my eyes. His eyes kind and caring that made my heart skip a beat.

"Everything is alright, you will do fine on this flight. Even though we are apart I am still with you" he said and touched my chest where my heart was.

"I feel like I'm stuck in a hurricane and can't get out...you are the only person that stops that hurricane..." I said to Cooper as he smiled and his face turned slightly red.

He cleared his throat in defense to his reddened face.

"I know it does sweetie but you have Alex and he all make it better, plus remember you get to tell off Mike" He relayed and smiled widely.

"Yeah...you're right. I shouldn't be so nervous" I replied.

Cooper took his phone out of his pocket and checked the time.

"We need to get you to the airport Soph" He told me as he grabbed my bag from behind and started to drag it behind him.

I grabbed my keys and followed him out the door, locking it behind me as we made our way to his car. He put my bag in his car in the trunk. I got in the passenger side and buckled in. The impending doom repeating over and over in my head.

Airplane

Australia

Mike Clifford

Away from Cooper.

I nervously started to pick my nails as Cooper got in the car and began to drive. He put our favorite band over the car radio: Good Charlotte.

Coopers words kept repeating in my head. Like a mantra.

You'll be okay. You can do this.

"Alex is meeting us right?" Cooper asked me as I had to think for a bit before I answered. Shit was he supposed to meet us or were we supposed to pick him up.

I looked at him terrified and answered "uhhh..."

He saw how scared I was.

"If you don't want to go, I can go in your place instead?" Hd offered with a puppy dog face.

I sighed then glared  at him.

"You don't like flying Soph, you're flying what, over 21 hours, it's insane" He said to me.

I knew that. I wanted to push myself. His concern for me always overweighed his judgment.

"I need to meet him" I told him in all honestly.

"Can't you just let it go"

"No. I can't, I need to know more. More about him.  You don't understand" I tell him and a single tear escapes. I wipe it away before he sees.

He grabs my hand and rubs it gently with his finger tips to calm me down.

"I know you do" He said and kissed my hand, then placed my hand on his thigh while he drove the rest of the way to the airport. We sang to each song, it took my mind off the flight for now. I was more than nervous. What did I get myself into.
