Finding Love Again

Chapter 3

We sat in the airplane. We sat in the four seats in the middle of the plane.
I sat next to Peter and Lee, and Amy sat next to Lee, hugging his arm tight.
I found myself in deep thoughts, thinking about my past. I did that a lot when I was alone, or when I had no one to talk to. After a while I saw Amy had fallen asleep. And I noticed Lee was watching me.
'What?' I asked, and I noticed it sounded quite rude. 'Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.' I sighed. But he didn't really seem to care about my rude reaction.

'I just noticed you were looking sad' he said. 'and I was wondering why.'

I sighed looking at my hands. I wasn't sure if he wanted to tell him, I only knew him for an hour. I looked at Peter, who had fallen asleep too, with his laptop on his lap.

'I lost my parents when I was twelve years old, her grasping your arm like that reminded me of my first flight, I acted the same as she did.' I admitted.

'That's terrible, what happened?' He asked, looking at me with such kindness I melted inside. Normally no one really cared about me, except for my teammates, but this was different, we only just met. But I never talked about it, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to.
'Only if you want to tell me of course'
It seemed as if he had read my mind.
I took a deep breath.
'We were riding through a forest during a storm, we knew it wasn't a really smart thing to do, but we had to go home. Then suddenly we saw a tree falling and my dad couldn't brake in time'.
I bit on my lip. He put a hand on my shoulder. I smiled a little.
'The car was crushed by the tree, my mum was killed instantly. My father died even before we got in the ambulance. When I woke up in the hospital the only thing I had was a broken arm and a concussion.
My little brother died a week later, because of bleedings during a surgery, I was left all alone and brought to an orphanage.' I sighed as I finished. He had an understanding look on his face. 'I am sorry, and thank you for telling me.'
I smiled a little.

I suddenly woke up by someone shaking my shoulder. I must have fallen asleep. I sat up and discovered I had been sleeping on Lee's shoulder.
'I am so sorry!' I said, blushing.
But Lee smiled 'It's okay, no worries. We are about to land'
I smiled. I actually felt much lighter after telling someone my story. He was the only one ever that had been so understanding. 'Thanks for listening to me' I said quietly, so only he could hear.
'I am the one to thank you, it must have been difficult to tell me.' he said.
'It has been a long time, I shouldn't be such a baby.'
'You're not' he said suprised 'I would be quite depressed if I had lost everything. Even after such a long time'
That made me smile a little.
I saw Amy woke up too. I smiled at her. She smiled back, clearly still nervous.
As soon as we got our luggage we left the airport with a cap. I stared out of the window, admiring the landscape. Amy was doing the same. Peter was busy with his laptop and Lee was the one asleep now. I smiled. I really liked him.
The rest of the ride I spent my time talking with Amy. And she appeared to be as stubborn as me.
When we arrived on set Peter told us where to find our trailer and I had a the trailer opposite to Lee's and Amy had one next to him.
I threw my suitcase on my bed and quickly took a shower.
When I was finished I quickly dried and brushed my hair.
I decided to wear black skinny jeans and a dark green shirt. Very simple and comfy, I wasn't the 'barbi-girl' type.
I heard a knock on my door. It was Lee.
'Hi'

'Hi, Peter told me to come to dinner'
I yawned.
'Oh yeah, I really lost track of time with all those flights. It's afternoon now.'

'I can tell them you were to tired to come.' he offered.

'No I'll be fine.' I smiled, as I jumped outside.
