Chapter 1
"Ring!Ring!" My phone annoyingly rang at 3 a.m. in the morning.
"Who are you to call me at 3 a.m. in the morning?" I growled into my new blue Iphone 5c that i got 2 days before my birthday. Today is my birthday and i didnt plan on waking up this early. I needed sleep so i can pack for my vacation to Florida later on. I am supposed to meet my parents at the airport. They were in California meeting a friend for a buisness meeting. I would miss the first couple of days of school but I am willing to miss it.
"I just wanted to say that i love you Kora." A familiar voice said sweetly into my cellular device. Ian. It has been 5 months that we have been together. He has been watching out for me. We started dating to keep away all of the boys so I wouldn't be taken- My reply cut me off from my thoughts.
"That is very sweet Ian but if you call me again at 3 a.m. i will have to hurt you." I snapped. I think he is actually falling for me. We promised that this was just a 'Fake Relationship' with no hard feelings to protect me.
"Okay." Ian laughed. "Ill talk to you tomorrow." The line ended and i went back to sleep peacefully in my bed.
*****6 hours later*****
The sun shone into my room bright as ever. I slipped my feet off my bed and walked to my closet.
Black Jordons, white short shorts, gray crop top and to top it off curly hair. This is going to be the best birthday ever. This is going to be the only birthday that my parents will actually be with me. For 16 years my parents have never been able to celebrate my birthday with me becasue of stupid buisness trips. We are spending my 17th birthday in Florida for 17 days so each day makes up for my birthdays they have missed. I started to pack for the best vacation of my life.
I took a 15 minute shower, got dressed and curled my hair. My dark brown hair flown perfectly at the bottom of my belly button. I locked up the house and headed to my car. On the way to the airport i couldnt help but wonder how Ian would react that im not at my house. I never told him that i was going on vacation. All well, he will live. The airport was just minutes away. Butterflies appeared in my stomach, a big smile crossed my face and birds sang sweetly in the background. Just perfect to start off my day.
Once i got to the airport, i grabbed my bag out of the trunk and headed inside. My parents sent me money so i can buy my ticket early. It was less packed then i thought it would be.
"Can i get a 5 o'clock flight to Florida please." The lady looked at me wiht a troubled look.
"Why did you come so early then? You can just get a 2 o'clock ticket."
"I am waiting for my parents and they wont get here till 4:30pm." I smiled just so she will give me my ticket and get on with it. I handed her the money and she gave me my ticket. I walked over to the seats and took one next to the huge clear wall, so a huge window basically. I decided to take a nap.
*****3 hours later*****
I woke up and it looked like i was the only one here. I quickly grabbed my phone and looked at the time. It showed 4:15pm. A huge weight let off my shoulders. My parents should be here any minute. I stood up and stretched out my legs.
The intercom came on loud as ever, "Flight 40 is coming in hot! Get everyone off of the flight way! Highjackers are aboard the plane! I repeat highjackers are aboard the plane!" The lady on the intercome went off and i raced to the enormous window and watched as a plane was flying in crazy. It swerved from left to right. I could see the terrified faces of the passengers knowing that they were going to die. Then my eye caught on familiar faces. My parents.
"MOM!!DAD!!NO!!" The plane crashed into the ground with fire surrounding it. Screams came through the glass. People running on fire. My mom and dad running in fire trying to get out. Running for there lives. Lost of hope. Then they fell and screams died down with silence to rest in the screams of pain that once was heard. A lady ran to me and helped me up.
"Sweety, follow me right now please." Her voice was very shaky. My eye caught something weird outside near the plane but I passed what I saw by and followed her. My parents were the only thing to family that i had. Everyone else died of sickness or old age. I was in too much shock to cry right now. Some how the lady knew where i lived. I ran inside, up the stairs, to the left, into my bedroom door and to my bed. I cried into my pillow and before i knew it, i was asleep.
"Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!" My doorbell rang. I had the worst night mare ever. I ran down the stairs and opened the door. Cops stood at my door with there hats off and heads down.
"We are so sorry for you losts." One of the cops said, not looking up. Memorys flew back. My feet took steps back until i hit the wall. My head shook form side to side, trying to make what i saw and what happened to just be an actual night mare.
"No, No, No No, NO!" I screamed in pain. Tears flooded my face. "I have no where else to go."
"Actually m'am, you do. In your mom and dads will they have one name listed." The other cop spoke looking at a piece of paper. "Jacquelin McCallen." That doesn't make sense. Wait are they talking about "Thee" Jacqueline McCallen?!
"She lives in California. We will be taking you to an airport and you will be flown there. Jacquelin will be waiting there for you." I nodded in repsonse and followed the cops out into their car. Time flew by fast while i looked outside of the window just thinking.
"We already have your ticket. You are in first class so you will get off first. Jacquelin knows what you look like. Here is a picture of her." I took the picture and she looked quite familiar. I feel like i already met her. I probably didnt but i dont care right now. I boarded the plane and fell asleep for the rest of the flight, knowing that my parents died on a plane. This is going to be my worst fear now. I have a lot of secrets that no body knows about, and no one is going to find out now.
