I went through security, taking my shoes and jacket off. I always hated doing that, especially now with these machines that make you hold this certain potion for three seconds. I lurk around the food court, finding my way to Starbucks, getting a coffee and croissant. I sit at my gate, charging my phone as I and the different families wait. At this one window there was this little boy pointing at the planes backing up. Then, this little girl caught my attention. She was running around, with pigtails in her hair. Her dad chasing after her. It triggered something inside me, and I began to look through my phone. I saw all my Twitter updates about people from my old school who worried about me. I went to the settings of my account, and deleted it. I didn't want anything to do with the past. The plane arrived at our gate, I checked in online the day before, so I was in boarding group A. As I handed the gate agent my ticket, he looked at me funny. It bothered me the whole time I was in the jet way. I forgot about it when the flight attendants started to baby me. My ticket was for the window seat in the second to last row. I got in my seat, pulling out a blanket, headphones and book. Before we took off, I dozed off.

It was dark, too dark.
"Please! Stop!" I hear Coll scream.
"Coll!" I scream, running through the dark.
"You have to stop hurting Shai" Who was she talking to?
"Coll, I'm coming!"
Then I see my father's figure standing with his right fist in the air, looking over his left shoulder, staring into my soul, as if I had one. Before I can do anything else, I wake up. It was all a dream. 
"Ma'am? What would you like to drink" The flight attendant asked me.
"Umm, what type of tea do you have?"
"Green, and English breakfast"
"I'll take the green tea please"
"Anything to eat?"
I was totally oblivious to the fact I had a menu on my little tray, I looked down and immediately noticed the eggs benedict. 
"Oh, the eggs benedict, please."
"Ok miss, I'll be back with your tea soon"
"Thank you"
I looked out the window, and played my playlist titled freedom. It had songs such as Is There Somewhere by Halsey, Grand Piano by Nicki Minaj, and Skinny Love, a cover by Birdy. I felt a light tap on my shoulder, and turned to see it was the passenger next to me passing on the tea from the flight attendant. I continue to read my book, as I wait for my eggs, I can feel the passenger staring. It's very unsettling so I snap at him,
"Has your mother ever told you it's not polite to stare?!" he looked away quickly. I don't know what came over me, I felt awful, so I just kept to myself. When the food came, I ate it quickly and tried to fall asleep, without nightmares this time. I woke to the flight attendant poking at my shoulder,
"Wake up miss, you're in Sydney"
