Justin stared at the screen then back at the stranger. He pointed to himself then to the other boy then to the screen and locked his fingers. Raegan looked confused, attempting to figure out what his boyfriend was trying to say. Suddenly, it hit him.
Raegan: Yeah. We are- were together before the accident. Do you remember that?
As quick as he was to show up, Justin shut down. He started to remember the crash. First the plane began to go down slowly as if it was landing. Justin was making something on his phone. There was music and he was making signs with his hands. The plane then started to shake and he unbuckled along with several other passengers. A little girl was next to him so he sat back down and tried to soothe her as she cried. Suddenly, the back part of the plane ripped away, taking all those standing with it. Justin threw out his hand and managed to grab a boy his age who was flying towards the opening. He tried to pull the boy in by himself in the chair but the air current was too strong. The boy was screaming as he was sucked out of the airplanes hole and disappeared. Justin never even knew the boy's name. Everyone struggled to stay where they were in attempts to keep themselves hidden from the air flow. Some succeeded, some didn't. The plane began to spiral downwards in a blank nosedive. The little girl shrieked as she reached for someone flying past.
Little Girl: MOMMY!
Justin tried to grab her before she was swept up but they hit the water as he wrapped her in his arms. The hit jostled him out of the plane and the little girl sank below the waves. He dove for her but couldn't find her. Suddenly, prices of the plane stared to break apart and smash the water and anyone below them. Justin dodged several prices and tried to make his way to the surface, grabbing people and pushing them out of the way and towards the surface of the water, but at the last second was crushed by the cockpit of the plane as it broke off and fell on top of him. That was the last thing he remembered. The plane crash. The last thing. He was shaken back to reality by the doctor, who had rushed in. Raegan stood in the corner with tears in his eyes and both hands in his hair. Justin looked around and the doctor pushed the stranger out of the room quickly. He didn't understand what the doctor said only that the boy started to tear up again. All Justin wanted to do was stand and hug the boy and tell him everything was alright. But he couldn't. He didn't know how.
