Chapter 2

Arriving at the extremely large, loud airport, something I had never done before in my life. I felt nervous. The subtle smell of cases throughout the airport caught my nose, like the new smell of a car. Person after person, I had never seen so many similar families and people in my life! Looking out every tall, thick window, as if they stood over me. There it stood. Never before had I seen such an insane, but enlightening looking structure stand before me. I felt amazed.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I looked over at my mom sitting with me, she never looked so upset. The sadness in her eyes made my stomach turn. I came close towards her and buried my head into her lap. Just like a child she was stroking my hair.

"Its going to be okay Xena, Shh Shh" she hushed in the most soothing voice,

"How could this happen?" I sobbed into my moms shoulder

"I dont know what to do, mom what am I supposed to do without you? You mean the world to me mom, I just don't know what Im going to do with out you. I'll miss you so much" 

After my mother was taken into rehab to battle her heroin addiction, I felt like a part of me was torn. Being an only child with a single mother was difficult, but after she got taken away I thought I lost everything. Now look at us? My mother has changed for the better over the past couple of years, and she has been trying her upmost best to support us as a family. Nobody understands the relationship we have. She is patient, kind and understanding. The struggles my mother had to go through bringing me up is indescribable. How can one human possibly go through all that struggle? Fuck it, one day I'll make my momma proud, me and her against the world. Now it feels like I've been rewinded back to the past, how the hell will I cope with a new family in a new living environment?

Damn it, I'm forever overthinking! I need to be more positive

 Tears were forming in her eyes too, she faked a smile and said "It will be okay Xena , Don't cry sweetie, you'll ruin your make up"

My appearance was the least of my concerns right now

I looked at my mum once again and tilted my head like a confused dog. "Mum?, you will make sure you take great care of Grandma, send her my love mommy, I love you"  I mumbled with a spark of hope lighting in my voice.  

 My mum pulled me to her warmth and spoke softly in my ear, "I'm just a phonecall away Xena,"

I smiled with twinkling tears falling from my eyes.// After what seemed like an emotional goodbye I wandered into the vivid boarding lounge; by which I was fascinated. The multi-coloured chairs mesmerized my eyes. The spectacular glass view was so remarkable, that it shook me into a state of giddy exuberance. My eyes fixed with a hypnotic trance. I gazed enthusiastically at the majestic planes that took off into the distance.

 "Would Passengers flying on the ZB279 Airline -- Please make their way to the gate. Your plane is ready to board"

Adrenaline rushed through my body. Mixed feelings..... I ran as quickly as I could, to get to gate 37 so that I could be first on the plane, yes the excitement killed. First time boarding a plane. We never was the wealthy type, Me and my mom could barely afford to pay of the bills, Christina even offered to pay for my flight. Buzzing with emotions I made it to the Boarding gate.

 "Hello, Could I please see your boarding pass?" The lady asked civilly, as she stood there with a smile growing itself onto her jovial face. She checked my boarding pass and showed me the way.

I boarded the plane eagerly and looked around for my seat. There was my seat! I quickly put my baggage into the cabin and sat down next to the window.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking we like to welcome you onboard  this American Express flight to West Hollywood. Flight duration is around 9 hours and we are expecting a fairly smooth flight today. Once again we thank you for choosing to fly with us today and we hope you enjoy your flight"

 Sighing, I fixed my eyes to the window and let my thoughts take me away..

This was definitely going to be a long flight.
