Today I'd be boarding my plane to America for a great opportunity for me in the music industry. I'd possibly be assisting a rising pop-punk band in organizing their tour for an album they'll be soon to release. But in order to see if I can get the job, I need to travel to Los Angeles in California. I'm excited, to say the least.
The last time I was on a plane was when I was about twelve years old, my family and I were traveling from Melbourne to Sydney. I can vaguely remember it though, it's been time since.
I grabbed my iPod charger and placed it inside my carry on bag as my finishing touch to packing my luggage. After doing so, I turned of my bedroom lights.
"Mom, I'm ready," I said walking out of my room with my suitcase, carry on, and purse. "Lovely, let's go sweetie," she said and helped with my suitcase,"grab the keys for me please."
Twenty minutes later, I had a less than half full cup of coffee in my hand and we had arrived at the airport. "I got it mum, you can just open the doors for me if you'd like." I said when my mum tried to help with my suitcase.
After getting a pass from airport check-in my mum was able to accompany me all the way to my gate. It wasn't long until I'd be boarding my plane, but having my mum's company was always-well some times- fun.

I hugged my mum one last time, and agreed to call or text her as soon as I could when I'd arrive. No matter the timezone differences. "Take care Mel."
"I will, love you mum."
I stood in line for a minute or so until my turn to give my ticket to the lady by the gate. "Enjoy your flight ma'am." she politely said. I thanked her and waved goodbye one last time when I looked back.
I'd actually never been so far away from my mother. This separation might seem like nothing to others, but it seems so big to us. Our bond is great.
Goodbye's suck.
I wasn't aware I'd be facing so many of them after this trip. I was no where near prepared, but then again, no one ever really is.

FanfictionTears dropped down to my thigh as I sat down on the airplane seat next to the window. His touch still vaguely felt on my lips, and cheeks.
