A Lost Hope

Chapter 3

Everyone one is scrambling to get everything together for our move to Hawaii. My dad is calling a friend of his about moving furniture to the new house. I'm helping get all of Nathan and Sophia's clothes, toys, etc together. Most of my stuff is already packed. A little while later I head downstairs to sit down for a minute. I was starting to feel a little sick. I tried to call for my mom but when I opened my mouth I nearly threw up. So I ran to the hall bathroom and started heaving. Next thing I knew I had thrown up. Seconds later my mom walks in and pulls my hair back giving me a cold wash cloth. She helps me up and walks me back to the couch. She sits at the other end as I lay down. She places my legs in her lap.

"You okay?" She asks. I just nod. My dad comes downstairs. "So Adrian said he could fly a jet following us and carry some of the furniture, but honestly Lilah I think we should just by all new furniture when we get there." My dad says. "I know but I worry about her. She's gonna have to have a bed as soon as we get there." My mom says. My dad nods thinking. He furrows his eyebrows. "Hold on a sec. You said that steph's mom Kate helped you get the house we moving into right?" My mom nods, "Yes." She says. "I bet it's furnished then. Or she furnished it for us." My dad says. My mom's smiles and laughs a little. "She probably did. I'll call and ask her." She says. My dad smiles and nods. He begins to walk off but stops and turns back around looking at me. "Are you okay?" He asks me. I chuckle. "Yeah I'm okay." I say. "She threw up." My mom says. My dad sighs, and walks over to me kissing me forehead. "Well I'll make sure everything is packed and ready to go. We'll be leaving soon." He says. Walking out of the living room.

3 hours and 28 minutes later

We all bored out plane to head to Hawaii. My dad and Tristan were seated together, In the back row of the economy class. Jake, Sophia and Nathan were seated in the third row. And my mom and I were seated in the first row.

"Now the take off is gonna be mad Serena. Are you sure your okay to do this?" My mom asks. "Mom I'm fine really. I can do this." My dad checks on everyone and then comes go me.

"You're gonna be okay?" He asks. "Yes y'all I'm gonna be fine." I say again. He throws his hands up exaggerating a little. "Alright miss. Give me a kiss." I kiss him and he kisses my mom and heads back to his seat.

Not even a quarter way through the flight I had to pee. I turn and look at my mom. She looks at me and her faces falls. "Oh my god. Are you okay?" She says so worried. I giggle a little. "Yes I'm fine. I just need go pee." I say. She sighs a sigh of relief. "Okay." She calls and flight attendant over there to tell her I have to use the restroom. The lady helps me to the restroom. And on my way my dad stops me concerned and I just told him I had to be and he was okay.

When I get in the restroom I'm surprised a little. It's not as clean as I thought it was gonna be, buts it not as dirty as I thought it would be either. But I handle business and step out. When I step out the attendant asked me if I knew how to get myself back and I just nodded telling her a thank you and made my way back. Making my way to my sit the plane bounces a little and I lose my balance. I feel a hand grab my upper arm pulling me back up straight. I turn my attention to this person. When I look into his eyes I feel butterflies in my stomach... No, forget butterflies, I feel a whole damn zoo in my stomach. He is like the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.

"Thank you." I say softly. Still overwhelmed with what I am looking at.

"You're welcome. Are you okay?" He asks me.

I nod. "Yeah, that jolt just got me a little of balance. But I'm fine thank you."

He smiles and nods before walking off. I turn around to walk off too but something popped into my head. I didn't get his name...
