Upside Down

Connections

Saturday morning came as slow as it could for Madison. She awkwardly had to ride the bus with Garret and pass by him in the halls. She had also gotten lost and been late to most of her classes. She never thought about what life without Garret would be like. The worst part was, he seemed happy. Its like Madison didn't matter to him at all.

Madison Collected her Vera Bradley Duffel Bag and Backpack. As she slowly staggered down the stairs excitement filled her bones. I can't wait to see Parker! She thought to herself. He will be so surprised! By this time she was at the front door. It was four A.M and she didn't want to wake anyone up. So, she wrote a note. I left early this morning. I'll be back by Sunday night! Love ya! She stuck it on the front door as she walked out. It was pretty warm for a Saturday in March. She took off her Chanel jacket as she walked to her car. She got in and was on her way to the airport.

When she arrived at the airport, she walked to the check in desk. "How can I help you?", the receptionist said. "Hi. I'm Madison Elliot and I am checking in for flight 513 A leaving at 9:13 am Ok.", the lady replied. "Your gate is B. Just walk straight and go left. " "Thanks!" , Madison said and began to walk. She walked a few feet, turned left and sat down.

In 30 minutes or so, the booth attendant called out, "FLIGHT 513 A IS NOW BOARDING!" So, she got up and gave the attendant her ticket. "Go right ahead Miss", the lady said. Madison began to walk thru the connector tunnel and on to the plane.

She struggled to find a seat where she  could sit alone. After 10 minutes of desperate searching, she finally choose to sit beside of a woman dressed in a Chanel pantsuit. "Hi, I'm Madison," she said to the woman. "That Pantsuit is styling on you!" "Oh, thank you sweetie.", she replied. "I'm Alisha." "Nice to meet you." The two began to talk about how Chanel should only be available to rich people only. "I know right.", Madison told her. "Regular people wearing it is shameful to the name." They continued on this topic for a few minutes at the least. "So", Alisha asked her. "Why are you going to New York?" Madison figured she could trust her. Mostly because she was smart enough to wear Chanel. "I'm visiting my boyfriend." "Wow," Alisha replied. "I was supposed to have a business trip in California along with my Husband Alex who had another conference in the same hotel. But, my conference was canceled and his was still going on. So, I decided to come home. My daughter is at home by herself and I don't know if I can trust her." Madison was just about to keep talking to her when the pilots intercom came on. "Excuse me passengers, we will be landing in a matter of five short minutes." In less than five minutes the plane is on the ground and people are exiting. "Well, I guess this is goodbye", Madison says to her. "I enjoyed your Chanel options Madelyn."Um... Its Madison", she says. "But Thanks and I enjoyed yours to."

Madison walks off the plane and into JFK airport. The airport is quiet and uncrowded. She walks toward the rental car desk. 

She breathes in the rental car smell as she turns the ignition. The company gave her a free upgrade to a Pink Cadillac Escalade because her father owns the whole company. She pulls up Parker's address on her cell phone. As she puts her foot on the gas and starts to drive out, a silver Range Rover pulls right out in front of her. She slams her foot on the gas and blows the horn. As soon as they both pull onto the interstate, Madison decides to pass them. She turns to wheel and slowly starts to go around them. She looks in the mirror and realizes that it's Alisha. As she decides if she should wave or not, Alisha goes around Madison again. She shrugs it off and pays attention as she merges off the interstate and on to Parker's street. As she pulls onto the smooth street she realizes Alisha is still in front of her. Alisha pulls into the driveway of the house in front of Parker's. As Madison pulls into Parker's driveway, she sees a bunch of cars and people. She glances over at Alisha and realizes that she is storming over to Parker's house like a tornado destroying everything in its path.
Madison decides to stay in the car to see whats going to happen.

Parker watches from his window as Angela's mom, Alisha storms up onto Parker's porch. She starts to scream at Angela; "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!."Well Um...". Angela stutters.
