It was tails. I stay. I'm okay with that. Right?
I dream about him that night.
He's lying in a hospital bed, frail and weak. He doesn't speak out loud, but I hear his voice in my mind. He's asking, no, begging me, to come to him. To save him. That I'm his only chance.
"Would you really be able to live with yourself if I die here? And you didn't even try?"
I wake up sweaty and shaky, and my cheeks feel wet from tears. I roll over and look at my alarm clock.
3:15 AM. Exactly twelve hours before my flight would leave.
What am I supposed to do??
I sit up. I have to go.
Two hours later, I'm packed. I lay back down in bed, but all attempts to fall back asleep fail me.
12:58
Time to leave.
I put my suitcase in the trunk of my car, check my purse to make sure I have everything,
Wallet, keys, boarding pass... I think I got it.
do I really want to do this? Do I really have a choice?
I shake my head and put the key in the ignition. No going back now.
3:04
Time to board. I wipe my palms on my jeans, trying to get all the sweat off. I can't.
Now boarding all B passengers.
I walk up to the man taking boarding passes. This is it. I take a deep breath, and then I'm on the plane. I take a seat by the window, and a young couple, obviously on their honeymoon, takes the two seats next to me. Good. They'll be too wrapped up in each other to notice me.
Two hours into the flight, I'm really panicking. I have no idea who this kid is, he's dying, and I have no parents to come save me if something goes wrong.
Why the hell did I think this was going to be a good idea?
At 6:04, we land, and I realize that I have absolutely no idea where the heck I'm supposed to go... I guess I'll just have to take it one step at a time, the first step being to get my luggage.
I find my suitcase quickly, it's the only bright green one there. I grab it and turn around slowly...
What the heck am I supposed to do?
I am so so so so so so sorry it took me so long to update!!! I got tired of writing it, so I just quit.... I'm finishing it today or tomorrow however, and I should have the whole story updated by the end of this week....
I love you all
