Life is the Long Game

Chapter 34

Riley's POV:

Dream:

After a short nap Lucas and I start to discuss our wedding.
"So what date should we set it for?" Lucas asks me.
"Um, I don't know, I want us to be in college if not finished college, because, and please don't take this the wrong way, just because we had Amelie young it doesn't mean we have to do everything early and young."
"No I totally agree, so, in 2024?"
"Yes, I want a winter wedding too, but not on Valentine's Day, it's too cliché."
"How about February 5th?"
"Yes, it is always really good winter weather then too."
"Do you still want the ceremony in Central Park?"
"You remembered! Yes, it's always been my dream. But what about you?"
"I think it sounds very romantic." He gives me a romantic kiss.
"I need to stretch my legs, I'll be back in a moment." I announce to Lucas.
"Please stay, don't leave me."
"I'm only going to the bathroom silly!"
"Okay. Okay."
I get up and go to the bathroom.
As I am coming out, the plane jolts slightly, I grip the door tightly to keep my balance. The Captain announces that the seatbelt sign is coming on and that everyone should return to their seats, so that's what I begin to do, but I am on the opposite side of the plane to my seat so it's a long walk. The plane shakes, then jolts and turns suddenly. Screams fill the plane and in amongst it all, I hear Lucas arguing with a flight attendant, telling her that he needs to get me and she is telling him to stay seated. I continue to hurry to my seat. Then the plane shakes even more, things begin to fall from luggage holdalls above the seats. I hear Lucas yell for me, I cry for him and continue to try to get to my seat. I'm almost there when alarms begin to sound. There is another jolt, bringing me off my feet, I get up again only to fall down again as the plane appears to just drop from the sky. Luggage is falling on me, everyone is crying and screaming. I can still hear Lucas. I am still crying for him. There is a thud, then it all went black, followed by silence.

Dream over.

After sobbing and crying and Lucas comforting me, we both fall asleep. When I wake up again, my hand flutters down to my stomach, and tears stream down my face. Lucas can never know. It wouldn't be fair on him to know.
How can I be so upset over loosing something I didn't even know I had?

So that's what happened in the plane crash. Sorry it's short. The storyline will get better soon. Promise!
