~flashback two years ago~

"Amanda  come here sweetly!" My mom called from the kitchen. I was lying on my bed watching YouTube, so I paused the video and went downstairs in the kitchen. "Yea mom?" I asked as I got downstairs. "Honey we need to talk to you about something." I could tell by her face and the way she said that that this would be bad news. "What is it?" I asked getting a little worried. "Your father and I's company got moved to... Virginia." "So. We're gonna have to move?" I ask holding back tears. My moms eyes filled with tears and slowly shook her head. I look over to my dad in disbelief, but he gave me an 'it's true' look. I started bawling in my moms arms. I was so upset. I had lived my whole life in Wisconsin and now we have to move. Away from my friends, my family, my school, my house... everything. "When do we leave?" I asked my mom trying my best not to cry as I was asking the question. "Next week" she responded. I immediately ran upstairs to my room and called all my friends. We were gonna make the best out of our last week together.

~ one week later ~

"Hurry up Amanda or were gonna miss our plane!" My mom yelled at me. "Ok" I yelled back and brought my last bag down. "So you're really gonna leave me here huh?" My best friend Emily asked me. I just nodded my head. I couldn't say anything. No words would come out, only tears. I gave her one final hug and walked out the door. Her mom was gonna drive us to the airport. I begged if Emily could come but there was no room left in the car. "I wish I was in college like Jonathan" I mumbled under my breath. "Why is that sweetly?" My mom asked. I guess she heard me. "Because Jonathan doesn't have to drop everything and move to stupid Virginia!" I fired at my mom. I could tell she got angry and tried to shoot something back at me, but my dad calmed her down. I didn't talk the rest of the car ride...

~ at the air port

We didn't have to wait long because literally 5 minutes after we got there they called our flight so yea. We find our seats and sit down. About an half an hour after we leave the ground I notice that all the flight attendants are acting really wierd. They're pacing back and forth, sweating, and constantly on their radio. I start to freak out because I've heard people talk about this in YouTube videos and it never ends well. A blonde flight attendant with an orange skirt and a blue blouse goes up to the intercom and says; "Um excuse me but we have been notified that someone snook multiple weapons onto this plane so we will have to land in Ohio." As if this day couldn't get any worse. What's next our new house is a barn?! I look around and everyone has a worried look on their face. After about 2 minutes of me stalking everyone on the plane a lady shouts; "WHOEVER SNOOK THE DAMN WEAPONS ON THE PLANE CAN YOU PLEASE TURN THEM IN BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO LAND IN TO DAMN OHIO!!!" She wasn't even scared about the weapons, she just wanted to go to Virginia. I wish I was her right now. After that pretty much everyone on the plane started agreeing with her. A man probably in his fourtys stood up and said, "if you want the weapons so bad just take em " he then pulled out a gun and started making threats. He shot down the pilot and made it so the the plane would crash wherever we landed where her it was in a river or a valley. Then he stole a parachute and jumped out the plane. By now everyone was freaking out and screaming and running. We had no idea what to do. I knew it was a bad idea to move to Virginia I thought to myself . Then all of a sudden BOOM!! The plane crashed upside down. I managed to escape but I think I was the only one who did until...
"Amanda...Amanda...Amanda" Someone is calling my name! The voice sounds so familiar. Who's voice is it? "Amanda...Amanda wake up sweetly" "huh" "wake up" suddenly I wake up. "The plane landed honey. Come on let's go find our luggage "
