- Charlie -
"Charlie! Wake up! We're gonna miss the plane if you don't move right now!"
Hmm... I open one eye and i check the clock next to my bed. 5am... It's a saturday and i need to wake up at that time! My parents are crazy! I put my pillow on my head and i try to block the noise.
"Charlie, i won't say it another time! Wake up or we're leaving without you!"
My mom enters in my bedroom and opens the lights. I look at her and i give her a nod.
"Don't worry, i'll be ready in 5 minutes anyway." I tell her.
She closes the door and i stand up. I put my sweatpants and a hoodie. I'm taking the airplane, i don't need to look that pretty. I just put some make-up and i make a ponytail with my hair. I look at my room, everything seems in place. I put my headphones on, plug them in my iphone and grab my suitcase. I close my bedroom's door and i head downstair. I make a quick stop in the kitchen to take a muffin before continuing my way to the front door. My dad is already putting the luggages in the back of the car and my sister is already sitting in the car looking half asleep. I put my suitcase in the back, my dad gives me a smile.
"Everyone is ready to go?" He says.
I sit next to my sister and my mother enters in the car.
"This is gonna be a beautiful trip! I cannot wait to be on the beach with a good book to read!" She tells us happily.
Yes, a great trip... I think to myself. It's not that i don't want to go but i wish i could go on a trip with my friends instead. I'm nineteen now and i want to travel alone. Don't get me wrong, i'm happy to go on vacation with my family. I love them a lot but i wish they could understand that i need more liberty.
The car stops and i look outside by the window. We are at the airport, i see many families, couples, people walking with all their luggages trying to find their way to the right gate. We take our bags and i look at my boarding pass, Gate 1, aisle D. We're going to Florida for 2 weeks. We pass the customs. That's why i always wear sweatpants and a t-shirt when i go to the airport. First, it's comfortable for the plane and second, i don't get problems when i pass the customs. Our plane is leaving in an hour. We found the gate and my dad tells us to go walk in the airport during that time he's gonna watch our bags. I decide that i'm gonna go buy a sandwich. I don't know why but i really cannot eat the food in the airplane. I don't like it, it makes me sick. I just have the time to go back to the gate an we hear our flight being called.
"All the passengers for the flight TS1322 for Florida, please present yourself at the gate number 1. We're gonna start the boarding in 5 minutes."
We enter in the airplane and i feel the anxiety coming. I don't like the take-off. It's stressed me and i hate the feeling. It's like if my heart stays on the ground but my body keeps moving. It's weird. I find my seat, F2 i'm near the aisle. My sister has the seat beside me and she's near the window. I know she likes to watch outside during the take-off. She can see all the small houses, the streets and all the lights in the city.
"Please buckle your seatbelt, we're gonna take-off in 5 minutes."
I watch the cabin crew giving the instructions in case of emergency.
I need to distract myself during the take-off. I look around me. Three seats in front of me in the middle row of the airplane, there's a guy sitting next to a little girl. She probably is no more than 5 years old. I look at the woman next to them while she begins to speak to him.
"Liam, can you please help Emily to put her seatbelt?"
I watch the guy who must be Liam smiles at her sister and buckles her seatbelt. He brushes her hair with his hand and makes a funny face. She bursts into laughter and gives him a hug.
I feel the airplane moving. Great, I know we're gonna take off soon. I need to calm myself so I close my eyes waiting for this moment to pass.
