Rachael's POV
"Calm down" Filip says
"How can I calm down when we are 30,000 feet in the air inside of a flying metal box of death?!" I say
"Rachael, everything is going to be fine. We are totally safe." He says
Just then the pilot tells everyone to fasten their seatbelt because we are about to land. This is terrifying.  I have never been away from home before and now, I'm moving half way across the country?! What did I get myself into?? I have never been on a plane, and I found out that turbulence is one of the most terrifying feelings ever. Filip can sense that I am getting anxious so he starts trying to calm me down.
" Rachael, you have nothing to worry about. Just calm down and take deep breathes." Filip says
But none of that stuff really works for me, people telling me to calm down just makes me even more anxious.
"Filip, how much longer until we get off of this death trap?" I ask. Just as I say it, I feel the turbulence.
"Ugh, not this again." I close my eyes and try to think of something else. When we land, I open my eyes to send my hand gripping Filip's hand. I hadn't even noticed I was doing it. When I let go, you could see the outline of my hand in red on his hand.
"See, I told you it was going to be fine. You worry to much sis you need to lighten up some." Filip says
"Easy for you to say, you've been on planes before. That was my first time, at least mom wasn't here. She would have totally freaked out! Hahah" I chuckle
When we walk into the lobby area of the airport we see that there was a chauffeur there to pick us up and take us to our hotel. I'm only 16 but Filip is 21. Filip has gotten accepted into the NHL and his first team is the Nashville Predators.
