Tasha and Scott got into a car and drove off, the "Just Married" sign was painted on the back windshield and the cans tied to the bottom rattled as the happy couple drove away. Everyone applauded over this and then walked back into the building to clean up the mess.
Tara's mom was cleaning up the last of the chairs with James as everyone else left. The room echoed with the noise the chairs made as they were stacked. That was when James brought up the question that was on his mind: "Why did Tara leave?"
"I leave her alone, she takes care of herself, I don't know." Her mom answered. "You could check in the opening on the side of the road."
"Thank you." James nodded. Once they finished cleaning, James left to the opening where Tara would go constantly. It was actually empty. So he took out his phone and then texted her and waited for an answer. There wasn't one, instead he went to Tara's house and waited there, falling asleep on the couch.

Tara received the text on her phone and then ignored it. Her phone was placed back into her carry-on bag by her feet. She leaned back and closed her eyes, falling asleep.

Tara's mom was watching the news late that night and there was simply nothing. James was only listening when he was falling asleep but that's what made him fall asleep. He couldn't stand listening to boring politics.

Benny and Sebastian joined Lindsey and Kelson as they gathered together for planning celebrations. Unfortunately, none of them had any idea what to do as the whole group had disbanded. They turned on the news and sat on the couch trying to fall asleep. It was the same old junk, politics, and another airplane went down. It didn't apply to any of them.

Tara opened her eyes to a face, feeling the pang of a huge headache. She muttered gibberish and moaned as she tried to sit up but a hand on her shoulder kept her down.
"You shouldn't move," a calm female voice answered.
"Who are you?" Tara asked, her eyes trying to focus and concentrate on staying awake.
"Sh, my name is Mary Stinebaugh, I'm here to help you." The woman said.
"With what?" Tara asked, noticing now that she felt nauseous.
"You were in a plane wreck." The nurse said. Tara was slow at understanding as she had heard it but it hadn't officially processed in her mind, then once the realization hit her, she was consumed with regret and sorrow when she tried to stand up.
"I have to get back to my family," She got onto her feet and before she realized what was happening, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, then completely blacked out, falling down like a crumpled rag doll.
"That was abnormally fast," the nurse whispered to the doctor quickly before getting Tara on a medical bed.
