Emily and I talked for about an hour. She eventually got tired and fell asleep. Just after she went to sleep Mark called me downstairs. I ran downstairs and sat in the living room with Mark. He looked pretty happy. He had this big goofy grin on his face. I just sat across from him, confused. He sat there scrolling through his phone, not noticing my presence. "um Mark." I said softly. He looked up from his phone and smiled. "Hey Eden I have a surprise for you." mark said setting his phone down on the coffee table. "what? What surprise?" I said curiously. "we're going to a convention!" he said raising his arms on the air. A convention, like comic con? I had only learned about cons recently but I really wanted to go to one! "wait, really?" I said excitedly. "yeah! We're going to PAX Prime in Seattle!" Mark said. Would we have to fly? Like in a plane? I-i can't go in a plane ever again. "would we take a plane there?" I said trying to hide my fear. "yeah. About a 2 hour flight from here to Seattle." "okay, cool. When are we leaving?" I said shoving away fear. "Tomorrow around 12:00. You're going to have to skip school tomorrow and Friday." Mark said picking his phone back up. "do you want me to pack?" I asked trying to cheer up. "yeah, we are going to be there for 4 days." he said as she started scrolling through his phone again. I ran upstairs to my room. I grabbed my backpack and started dumping all my school work out of it, and I started filling it with the things I needed. Clothes, my toothbrush, hairbrush, and phone and laptop chargers. A plane, I haven't gone on a plane since the 'accident' I know it's been 3 years but I'm still not ready. I can't tell Mark though. I don't want to ruin this trip. I changed into some pjs and climbed into bed. I'm just so stressed about tomorrow. I have to miss 2 days of school work and I have to go on a plane. I slowly started drifting off to sleep.

I woke up, sitting. I felt a little lightheaded. My vision was a bit blurry. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. My vision was finally clear I looked around. I was in a seat not just any seat, an airplane seat. I looked to my right and Mark sat there looking through his phone. I looked to my left, out the window, yeah we were flying. I started to hyperventilate. No no no I don't even remember getting on the plane. I just needed to calm down. I tapped Marks shoulder. "M-mark can I go the bathroom." I said worried. "yeah. He unbuckled his seatbelt and moved out of the way. I speed walked to the bathroom and quickly locked the door. Checking in the mirror I saw that is was me. Like 13 year old me. So I must have be on the plane to PAX. I sat on the toilet and cleared my thoughts. The whole plane started shaking, just like when I was 10. I realized I was reliving my tragic fate all over again, when I heard a man on the intercom "all passengers please stay calm. We are only hitting a wind current." I tried opening the bathroom door, jammed. I screamed and tried to bust the door down with my shoulder. I just fell down holding my shoulder in pain. I heard people screaming. "I love you Mark." I whispered. Shadows clouded my eyes and I felt a gust of air.

"MARKKKKK!" I screamed jolting out of bed. Mark came rushing into my room and wrapped his arms around me. I started sobbing onto his shoulder. "Eden, it's okay,you're safe." he said holding me tight and rubbing my back. "I-I had the same nightmare. But it was a little diffrent." I said sniffling. "maybe if you tell me what happened I can help." he said pulling away and smiling. "Well I was on a plane when I was 10 and my family was there, my mom, dad, and brother." I started to tear up more. "A-and I left to the bathroom and the door got jammed. Then the plane started to go down and I curled up in a ball. And then I woke up in the hospital. I looked at the news and it said Plane Crash: 56 dead, 1 badly I injured." cried even harder into marks shoulder. "it's okay Eden that was just a nightmare." he said reassuringly. "It wasn't a nightmare. ITS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED!" I blurted rolling up my shirt to show the scars along my sides." Tears rolled down my face. "Eden,i'm so sorry." Mark said pulling me in for a hug. "and in this nightmare. It was me and you, on the plane. Going to PAX." I said sobbing loudly. "Eden, I promise. Nothing will happen. I swear... "

I'm so sorry for being lazy I updated this last minute. I'm trying to get better I swear; -;
