Melanie POV:
'Hey Seth.'
'Hey Mel.'
'Are your parents going on the business holiday?'
'Yeah, are yours?'
'Yea.'
Seth and I have been dating for a while now. We met through school, but we got to know each other more because of our parents working together.
'I don't want them going.'
'What,why?'
'Because there's been so many plane crashes laterly. I'm just scared that, that's going to happen to them.'
'Hey, don't think like that. They'll be fine.'
'How do you know that'
'I promise you that won't happen.'
'Okay, If you say so.'
***
'Bye mum, bye dad, bye Mr and Mrs McKay'
'Goodbye you two.'
'Don't go doing anything stupid'
'We won't. It's okay you can trust us'
'Yeah and that's a good thing'
'Yeah it is'
'Alright you too we have to board our plane now'
'Alright, have fun, stay safe and call me as soon as your plane lands. Okay'
'Jesus Melanie, you sound like my mum'
'Well sorry for being concerned for your safety and well-being
***
We stayed at the airport until Our parents boarded their flight.
During the car ride home I couldn't help but worry that something bad was going to happen.
'Vi, relax. There're going to be fine'
'I know, I know it just that...'
'What is it Vi?
'Its just that everyone I get this feeling something bad happens. Always'
'Well maybe this times different'
'I don't know Riley'
'They'll be fine'
'I know but I still have my doubts'
The rest of the car ride was silent except for the small volume of music coming from the radio.
To keep me from worrying about our parents I rest my head against the cold window and fall into a restless sleep.
