All the Lovely Hopefuls

Chapter 4

I woke up on the plane the captain said over the monitor,

"We will be landing shortly, please turn off all electronics and put your seat belts on and thank you for riding International Airlines have a wonderful rest of your trip."

I yawned and stretched my arms the man in the seat behind me said

"watch where those long arms go!"

"Oops, sorry," I responded.

"You'd betta be." said an old country boy behind me.

Where was I? was I in some kind if trance? did I sleep through something like one of those MTV shows like "Flip My Life!" There is people here that it didn't see board on and I thought I was sitting behind a butt crack but know I'm sitting behind some old guy.

"You's be a he'ring me?" said the country boy behind me.

"Yes I am" I said softly with my British accent.

"Good'm that's a way ita betta be," he said to end our conversation. I would defiantly not peg him as a guy to go to Europe for a trip because he defiantly didn't live there.

'Ding' the pilot's monitor came on "we are now landing folks and thanks again for flying international."

The way to the ground was bumpy and I wasn't pleased with it and quite frankly I was a little scared if death. We got there safely and soon everyone got up including me. I got my luggage and left as soon as possible. Everyone was crowding the exit so it was nearly impossible to get out.

I got out my phone and turned it on I got 23 text messages and 15 missed calls all from.....Harry!

Oh no I didn't respond to him, I bet he thinks that I think that I am to cool for him but no way he is to cool for me. He is a little obsessive for calling and texting. I give him a call back.

'Ring ring'

'Ring ring'

"Hello?" said Harry in a deep raspy voice. It sounded as though he just woke up but I didn't ask.

"Uh hey! this is," I tried to say but he interrupted with.

"Ally! I called you like 10 times!" he blurted.

"15 actually but anyway what did you call me for?" I asked politely.

"I tried to tell you but I didn't know where you were." he said.

"Tell me what?" I questioned.

"Your mom got in a car accident there wasn't a hospital it got caught in the fire someone tried to save her but she didn't make it I'm sorry but your mom is dead." He said sadly.

"WHAT! no no no this can't be happening I need to come home." I shakes as I spoke.

"Well yeah but where are you everyone has been looking." he said. I forgot my mom was the only one who knew I was going to college in America her and the principal that is.

"Um I'm in America...for college." I said slowly.

"AMERICA! what that's awesome but how are you getting home?" he said astonished.

"Same way I got here." I told him. Somehow this devastating moment in my life got turned all because of Harry and I was thankful for him.

I asked the young women at the desk if I could go back to Europe.

She looked at me and said "hah very funny but welcome to America. you have to get a valid ticket and then go through the process again.

The process! It took years to get this planned and I have to get there now! Oh no what am I gonna do!

My phone buzzes it Harry.

"Hey are you coming?" he said "if you are don't because I am on my way."

"What why wait what?" I plotted.

"Yeah my parents have saved up for college for me since I'm not going I used to it to get a jet and a pilot." he said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah sure." I said.

"Yep that's what happened, but no I'm boarding on a plane to America I will be there soon find a good hotel." he said demandingly.

"I already have one picked out," I said kind if creepily.

"Uh ok then." he said and I knew I made it awkward.

"Well bye." I hung up and then....

"Shit! oops sorry kids." I ran out, shaking my head and hating myself forever.

I got a car and I drove to the hotel Harry wouldn't be here yet but I would have to get some sleep before I had to get him. I slowly fell asleep on the bed still folded up neatly with some slight wrinkles in it. I wake to an alarm I made for picking up Harry.

"Ugh I hate jet lag." I proclaimed.

"Me too." said Harry, as he walked in.
