Dare To Choose Dare

《1》

🌃Layla's POV🌃
Right now, I'm sitting on the plane, waiting. At the moment, no one is sitting next to me. Maybe I will sit here alone.

The stewardes informs us that the gates will close in a few minutes. Suddenly, I hear someone yelling 'Wait! Do not shut the gates!'.

A girl entered the plane. She has medium-long ,dark brown hair and light green eyes. She's wearing a black All Time Low band T-shirt and light blue jeans. She had a red bandana tied on her head.

She makes her way to the seat next to me and sits down.

"When will the plane leave?" The girl next to me asks and I look at her.

The stewardes tells us that the plane will leave in a minute.

She nods in approval.

"Next time try to be in time on the plane." I tell her and she looks at me with confusion.

"Thanks mom." She says with hatred in her voice.

I know that I was mean but this is not my fault. I didn't really talk in the last few years, since my parents died. I don't really know how to act or talk with a stranger. I should apologize.

But the truth is, she was mean too. I know that I started it but even if I did..... Okay, I should stop blaming the others. I have to take responsability for what I did or how I talked.

It wasn't her fault and I know that.

I turn around and open my mouh to say something but I don't know what.

God, when was the last time I talked with a stranger? I think, the last time I really talked with a stranger and not just a few words, it was at my parent's funeral.

"I'm sorry." Are the only words that escape from my mouth.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'm used to arguing with everyone." She says and that makes me think. She is by my age, I think and she's already used to arguing with everyone?

I remember the time when my mom was alive and we were arguing about nonsense things. Now, I regret every thing I did to hurt them. If I could, I would change what I did and what happened but I can't.

"Where are your parents? Are you going to Los Angeles alone?" I ask her and she quickly turns arund to face me.

"Isn't this plane going to New Orleans?!" She asks me confused.

"No. This plane is going to L.A. " I tell her.

"No no no... This can't be real. You must be kidding me." She says starting to look out on the window with sadness in her eyes.
"Why would you go to New Orleans alone?" I ask her and she looks at me.

"Why do you care?" She asks loking at the other passegers next to us. "It doesn't mater anyway." She says and that makes me a little sad.

She is young and thinks that what she does it doesn't matter. This doesn't make sense.

Says the girl who didn't say a word to her friends before she left. Yeah, that is right. I didn't tell my friends what I'm going to do. I just packed my things and left. Okay, I told my grandmother that i'm going to leave but that is all. None of my friends know that I left.

"Okay then." I say and with that, she takes out her headphones and sarts to listen to music.

I take out my book, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and I continue to read.

After 65 pages of Thirteen Reasons Why, the stewardes makes her way to us and asks if we want something to eat or drink.

"Hey, do you want something to order?" I ask the girl who is sitting next to me and she looks at me confused and after that realises that the stewardes is here.

"No, thanks." She says and I look at the stewardes.

"Then, I want some Doritos with cheese and Mountain Dew." I say and the girl turns around to face the stewardes.

"Wait! Do you serve this in here?!" She asks surprised and the stewardes looks at her with a big smile.

"Yes. Do you want some?" She asks the girl.

"Fucking yes!" She says and I start to laugh.

The stewardes takes the order and leaves.

She looks at me and than at the book I was reading.

"Is that 'Thirteen reasons why'?! I've heared about that book. Always wanted to buy it, but never had the chance to." We have something in common? Okay, this surprised me.

"Yeah." I say. "This is the 100th time I read it. I love it. Is interesting and mysterious." I continue and she complatly turns around to be face-to-face.

"Tell me what it is about."she says and I start to tell her what it is about.

We start to talk about other books like Lux and The Mortal Instruments and realise that we have more in common than I thought.

It becomes late and I get tired. I think of going to sleep but the girl breaks the silence with a sentence I've been waiting for.

"By the way, my name is Kaecy." She says with a slight smile.

"I'm Layla. Nice to meet you." I say returning the smile.

"Nice to meet you too." She responds.

"I think I'm gonna get some rest now." I said as I yawned from the lack of sleep.

"Sure. Go ahead, good night." She says sweetly.

"Good night, Kaecy." I say as I close my eyes and fall asleep.
