Chapter Twenty Three

  Leaving Damon was hard, especially after him apologising to me the way he did. Feeling his arms wrapped around me, felt so perfect. It was as if every emotion he was feeling flowed straight through me. I have been keeping in close contact with Cherelle, and Alisha has called me every night to check on me. The course was hard nevertheless, because of how intense; it was, and it has managed to keep my mind occupied. Which I was grateful for, as it didnt leave me much time to think of everything back home. Well everything except Damon that is, I thought to myself. I had made a few new friends, and we had even promised to keep in contact, which I was thankful for. As realistically, I only have Cherelle Lee and Damon who I can call my friends.

Today I am returning from my trip, and to say I was looking forward to it was an understatement. I am now waiting out front of the hotel waiting for the taxi I had ordered to take me to the airport. It feels like I have been waiting hours, but I knew it had only been a few minutes. I was just so excited to see Damon that everything seemed to be going a lot slower. Cherelle and Alisha had informed me that there was no change, but I didn’t care, as I just wanted to be able to see him, hear him talk anything. As when I am close to him its like I feel complete, warm, and happy, but when we are apart, I feel an emptiness almost as if I am only half a person. A load honk shakes me back to reality. Quickly picking up my bags, I loaded them into the trunk of the taxi, which the lazy driver didn’t even bother to help me with.

The drive to the airport wasn’t to long; however, having an ignorant taxi driver to start your long journey off doesn’t help. After I checked in, I gave Alisha a quick call as she had so kindly offered to pick me up, which I gladly accepted. As all I wanted was to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

The plane was just landing, and I could feel the butterflies starting to form in my stomach, from a mixture of nervousness and excitement. I just couldn’t wait! As soon as the airhostess opened the door, I ran towards the exit, not been able to wait any longer. Running down the steps, I could hear the airhostess shouting for me to slow down, but I just carried on, no one is going to stop me, I thought to myself.  I felt as if I was going to explode with excitement. I could not even stop the smile from spreading across my face, it was the most amazing feeling I have ever felt in my life. As I reached the luggage area, I saw Alisha waiting for me. I ran up to her and gave her a big hug; she started laughing at my excitement. “Let’s go,” I said, as I started to pull her along towards the exit. Pulling me to a stop I looked up at her pouting,” I think you have forgotten something,” she said. “No come on quick, we have to go,” I told her as I tried to pull her along again, but she didn’t budge. Alisha didn’t move, she was just standing there laughing at me. ”Sheena your bags”, “Oh yeah” I said, feeling so stupid and embarrassed. Running back over to the conveyor belt, I waited impenitently for my bag to come round, I kept shuffling my feet, as it seemed to be taking ages.  I could still hear Alisha laughing, but I didn’t care, as I felt as if I was a big bubble of happiness that was UN pop able.
