The Girl Who Wanted Nothing

Chapter 6: Falling Asleep on My Shoulder.

Sam pulled Justin out onto the street curb. She rose her hand up in the air and hailed down a yellow taxi. She opened the door of the car and motioned for Justin to follow.

"Where ya goin'?" The scruffy man's gruff voice asked.

"JFK, please," Sam said up to the man.

"You got it," The man said, as he drove the car forward.

Justin bit his lip and looked over to the girl.

"Are you crazy? Where are we going?" He asked with a look of nervousness.

"I told you, don't ask questions. Just trust me, okay? It'll be fine, we're just going on a little..vacation," Sam said with a grin. She looked out her tinted window and continued to smile.

This girl is going to kill me, isn't she? He thought to himself.

Reed walked out of the elevator in to the 72nd floor. Walking over to his office, he gave a brief 'Good morning' to his secretary. He opened up the large oak door and then stepped into the CEO office. He glided over to his desk and sighed as he sat down.

He turned on his computer and then glanced at the three, silver picture frames that rested upon his desk.

The first one showed both of his parents. They stood on the boardwalk, arms wrapped around each other, and smiling bright, white smiles at the camera. He grinned slightly at the picture and then looked at the other two.

The next picture was of Sam and Reed when Cami had been born, only 3 and half years ago. He was seen holding the bundle in his arms and Sam smiling down at the bright red face.

He blinked his eyes and felt a small tear welling up in his eyes, as he looked at the last picture.

He was only 10 years old in this one, holding Sam for the first time.

From what he remembered on that day, Sam was crying, nonstop, when she had first come out of the womb. She wouldn't stop when she was fed, sang to, or even when they changed her diapers. But, when no one was looking, Reed had walked over and picked up the small baby, carefully, and almost instantly, she stopped crying.

And, still to this day, he could hear the words that he had whispered to her:

"I will always look out for you.."

Reed picked up the frame and let a few tears fall down his porcelain cheeks. He sighed and put the picture down, grabbing his office phone. He dialed in a number and waited for an answer, eagerly. He dried off his tears and his call, finally, was answered. The voice on the other line was gruff and somewhat soft,

"Hello, Mr. Hensworth. How may we help you?"

"Bring my baby sister back to me and do it quick," He replied back, strongly.

The taxi cab stopped in front of the JFK airport. Sam and Justin both exited the car, and Sam walked up to the driver's window.

"Here you go," Sam said, as she handed the man a 50 dollar bill.

"Ma'am, it's only $25," He said, as he tried to give her back the money.

"Just keep the change, I know taxi drivers don't get that much anymore. So, you might as well keep it," Sam said with a smile.

"Thanks, miss! Thank you very kindly." He said, as he waved and then drove the car off into the distance.

"Well, that was nice of you," Justin said, as Sam walked over to the front entrance of the airport.

"It's always good to show just a little bit of kindness to people. You never know what it could do to them," Sam said, as she opened up the glass door. Justin followed behind and they walked into the craziness that was JFK International Airport. Sam pushed past people, holding onto her duffel bag as tightly as she could. Justin did the same, and then they finally reached the ticket office.

A woman sat behind a oval desk with her hands folded and her red hair in a bun.

Sam walked over to her with a smile on her face,

"Two tickets to San Fransisco, please."

"Aren't you kids a little young to be traveling by yourselves," The woman, rudely, asked.

"No, we're not. And, I said that I need to two tickets to San Fransisco, please," Sam said, as she placed her hand on her hip.

"I might need to call secur-"

Sam flashed about 5,000 dollars in front of the woman, who instantly stopped her fussing. She grasped onto the money and Sam grinned at her.

"So, can I have those tickets, please?"

"Yes, ma'am. Right away," The woman said, as she rose from her desk. "I'll just be one moment."

Sam grinned at her, once more,

"Okie Dokie, do hurry back."

Justin looked at Sam with a look of surprise.

Sam smirked back at him,

"Hey, I am a New Yorker, I don't let people give me crap."

Justin began to laugh, slightly and then the woman appeared again.

"Here you go, two tickets for the next flight at 7."

"Why thank you," Sam said, as she grabbed the tickets. "You have a good day, now."

The woman nodded and Sam grabbed Justin's hand. She pulled him away from the desk and they walked over to security. Sam set her duffel bag onto the conveyor belt and walked through the metal detector, Justin doing the same next to her. They grabbed their stuff at the end of the belt and then began to walk to their gate.

Sam glanced up at clock: 6:50. They only had ten minutes left, she grabbed Justin's hand, again, and basically started to run to the terminal.

They reached their flight and quickly handed their tickets to the flight stewardess. She smiled at them,

"Welcome aboard. Enjoy your flight."

"Thanks," The couple said in unison. They hurried on board and then found their seats, which were apparently in first class.

Sam pushed her bag up into the carrier above them and then grabbed Justin's and did the same. She sat down with a yawn and then Justin slid down next to her.

"Gosh," Sam said in a yawn. "I am so tired."

She leaned back into her complementary pillow and began to doze off. Justin smiled over at her and then pushed his head back into his own.

Justin awoke to the sun streaming into his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and looked out the small, round window. Clouds and blue sky were all around, as was a body of water below them.

Flight attendants roamed around the plane, checking up on everyone. He looked over to see Sam still fast asleep, with a light blue blanket around herself. She smacked her lips and then did something, that froze Justin in his place. Sam leaned over and her head leaned up against Justin's shoulder. He blushed slightly and then looked over to the girl. She had slight grin on her face and he couldn't help but have one too.

Only about 5 minutes later, Justin's eyes began to grow heavy, again. He fell asleep, quickly and leaned his head on top of Sam's curly head.
