Limitless

Chapter 41

I sat down by the desk in my room and fingered with a pencil. I tried to make something up to write on the blank paper.

I had to understand everything. What was happening? Who was Marcel? Who was Niall? How did my life get so complicated in a couple of months.

Mum was coming home today, I was supposed to meet her at the airport at 7pm and the clock was now 4:31pm.

Me and Niall was like usual again, I didn't tell him I went to the hospital to visit Harry though. I didn't feel like it was necessary to bring it up.

I had tried the whole weekend to find the right moment to tell him but it never came so I guess god forbid me to tell him. Maybe I shouldn't tell him because I still didn't know what he was and what he was capable to do.

I tried to figure out what he was but all I could came up with was that he was some kind of weird alien from another planet which is 100% stupid because that couldn't happen. It only happened in movies, right?

I stopped fingering with my pencil for a moment but started writing and drawing up one big construction of it all.

It ended up in a big mess so I threw the paper away and tried to draw a new one.

I wrote down everything I thought at the moment and when I was done i felt some kind of relief. When i finally put the pencil down and looked at the paper I just didn't know what to say. The clock was now 5:23pm and it took almost an hour to get done.

I couldn't really understand how to read it but it just felt good to write everything down. I put the paper in the first drawer in the bureau beside the desk.

I got downstairs and decided to take something to eat before going to the airport. I ate a plate of cereals and then ordered a taxi.

I got to the airport just in time, about 6:56.

I got inside and waited outside her gate. I sat down on a bench and waited for the people to walk in.

I sat there for 20 minutes before I started wondering what was happening. I decided to just wait, maybe the flight was delayed.

"Hi excuse me?" I heard a strange voice. I opened my eyes quickly and looked around me before looking up at the person standing there.

"Yeah?" I blinked a few times and sat up straightly.

"Are you waiting for flight 304BY2K1?" The woman asked looking a bit worried.

"Let me check" i searched for my phone in my bag and looked at the screen. I saw I had 16 missed calls from Niall, then I looked at the clock. It was nearly 12am.

What.

I swallowed nervously and clicked in messages.

"Can you repeat?" I asked and smiled at the woman.

"Yeah" she nodded. "304BY2K1"

"Oh here!" I read the number on the paper. "304-B-Y2-K-1" I read.

"Yeah" she licked her lower lip and put her hand on my shoulder and helped me up.

"Where are we going?" I asked confusingly but still scared, what had happened to my mum?

"Just come here" she lead me to an office at the top floor at the airport.

"Who's your mum?" A man inside the room asked as I sat down on a chair opposite him.

"Lucy-y" I stammered. "Lucy Walker" I said quickly.

He nodded and looked down at his papers. He searched with his finger and stopped by a name which I assumed was my mum's.

"Yeah.." He nodded whispering.

"What?" I could feel I was shaking.

"She was one of the passengers" he closed his eyes for a second and then looked up at me.

"What?!" I exclaimed. "Tell me what's going on please!" I put my hand onto my forehead nervously. Please tell me the plane hasn't crashed. Please tell me she hasn't got killed by a freak of a person on the plane. Please tell me the plane was delayed until tomorrow.

He said those words I forbid him to say. Those words I didn't want to hear.

"Your mum's plane crashed and only a few of the people on board survived" he said, I could see he strained and tried to not break down.

"Did my mum survive" I whispered trying to wake myself up. Tell me this was a dream. Please.

"I'm sorry." He said and looked me straight into the eyes.

I just stared at him. I felt how the tears were falling down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say. Tell me it's a dream. Please.

"I'm sleeping. I'm sleeping. I'm sleeping" I repeated to myself squeezing my eyes. I pinched myself several times but I just wouldn't wake up.

"I'm so sorry" he repeated and wiped away a tear just by his eye.

"It won't help saying you're sorry!?" I yelled and stood up but lost my strength just in a few seconds. I fell down on the floor and hid my face under my arms leaning to the floor.

"We didn't know who to call so we haven't talked to anyone else" the woman kneeled down beside me.

"I don't have anyone else" I whispered. "I have nothing but an alien boyfriend" i burst out.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could do anything" she stroke my back.

"I don't know where to go" I whispered. "I have nobody else" I couldn't speak clearly. "We live alone, m-me and her" I stammered.

"Where's your dad?" She helped me sit up on the chair again.

"I don't know" I cried.

"What do you mean?"

"I-I can't talk about this-s right n-now" I stood up and walked out of the room. I turned and sat down on the floor leaning against the wall. The people who walked by looked worriedly at me but as soon as the woman came after me they stopped coming to me and asking how I felt.

"How are you?" She asked kindly.

I didn't answer. I didn't fucking know what to answer. I didn't know how I felt, I just knew I wasn't okay. I was just emotionless, or full of emotions. I couldn't really feel the difference at the moment. But I was pretty sure I had emotions because if I hadn't i wouldn't be crying.

My mum was dead.

Gone.

I was alone,

Again.
