"Flight 187 now boarding."

The sound of the stewardess calling our flight snapped me out of my daze. We had been at the airport for hours, we had already checked in and went and checked our luggage, and all that was left was getting on the plane. But before now all we had been doing was sitting in silence, which wasn’t exactly a good thing. Just sitting there led me to think too much, and by this point I had a massive splitting headache.

Harry tugged on the sleeve of my jacket to get my attention. “Ready to go?" He asked.

I looked up at all the boys, and Star, staring at me. Their luggage in their hands and impatience written all over their faces. I hadn’t exactly been the easiest to put up with today; I had been doing everything I could to put off this trip. The idea of getting on an airplane almost terrified me more than Micah did.

…Almost.

I looked up at Harry and shook my head. “No." I mumbled.

I heard Edgar huff. “We don’t have time for this Samantha." 

Harry sighed before looking back at the group. “You guys go on, I’ll talk to her." they all nodded before walking over to the plane gates leaving Harry and I back at our seats. I looked down at my carry-on bag and fought back the tears. Harry plopped down next to me. “You’re being ridiculous," He sighed.

"I can’t get on that plane Harry…" I mumbled.

"Why not?" 

"I just…I just can’t…" I got up from my seat and grabbed my bag, starting to walk the opposite direction from the plane. Harry was in front of me within a second.

"So you’d rather die here?" He said annoyed.

I huffed and threw my bag down. “What the hell is the difference? Micah said himself it doesn’t matter! Why are we even wasting our time going to fucking Romania? We’re going all the way across the world to chase smoke Harry!"

"We’re trying to keep you alive!" He hissed. 

"You’re wasting your time…"

"You really don’t care one bit about your safety do you?" He scoffed shaking his head.

I looked up at him and I felt the tears fall down my face. “I didn’t. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished that you just would’ve left me in that restroom…but so much has happened since then…and I don’t wanna die. I don’t. But I can’t get on that plane, it’s either die here, or die in Romania, or die in a fucking plane crash…there’s nothing we can do Harry!"

"Sam, are you saying you’re scared of flying? Is that what this is about?"

"It’s not just that, I just…even if we do find Vlad, what then? You guys are not thinking this shit through and it’s going to get you all killed!" I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest and like the world was spinning. It was all too much and I couldn’t handle it. No normal human being could handle this! My knees felt like jelly but I was snapped back to reality when I felt Harry’s hand holding mine tightly.

He shushed me and pressed my head into his chest. “It’s okay…" He whispered, kissing the top of my head lightly before rubbing his hand up and down my back. When I opened my eyes the airport was no longer spinning…

"I’m just scared…I’m so fucking scared…" I whispered. I looked up at him and shook my head. “I can’t be responsible for you guys too…if anything were to happen to any of you…"
