~9~ Flight 303 To Elyria

*Alexa*

"Flight 303 to Elyria is boarding now. I repeat, flight 303 to Elyria is boarding now."

"That will be ours." Andrew said as he began packing up Mia's things she had left lying around in the business lounge.

"I took a deep breath before making sure everyone had all their things and when I was reassured, I looked around.

This would be the last time I'm on American soil till God knows when.

The last time I'd be in the same country my parents gave birth to me and five other children and the same country where they died.

I took in a deep breath, "I'm ready."

Everyone smiled and were chatting with each other excitedly.

Alex looked back at me and smiled too before returning to his conversation with Andrew and Chase.

Michelle was walking beside Mia who was in between the two of us, holding our hands.

"They'll be jumping in Heaven at your visiting England finally." she said with a smile.

"I know, it's the sort of dance that can be named the moonwalk." I said with a grin that lasted on my face for about two seconds.

She laughed out loud long and hard at that

"I can't wait to take you guys home and show you everything!" she said excitedly and I smiled.

"Honestly? Neither can I." I replied honestly, excitement bubbling within me.

"Good. And you're gonna meet Jasper today!"

I grinned at her excitement.

She was almost jumping.

"Yep!"

She finally calmed down but the smile still remained on her face and she turned to me, "Do you really want to go Lexie?"

"I didn't think I would but at this moment, I'm absolutely sure this is the right thing to do and I want to do it."

"Good I wouldn't want this to be a case or kidnapping. And I personally think you'd love it in Elyria! It's not as big as England but its quite homey."

I smiled at her as we finally boarded the plane.

"This is it." I said and she released Mia's hand for a second to squeeze mine.

"Welcome on board. Seat 1A and 1B," the british air hostess directed Alex and Chase.

"Seat 1C and 1D," she said to April and Callie.

"Seat 1E and 1F," she said to Daniel and Derek.

"Hello sweetie. Seat 1G and 1H," she said to Mia and Michelle.

"Seat 1I and 1J," she said smiling at Jeremy and I.

"Ladies first," he said and with a small smile, I sat next to the window and he sat next to me.

"And seat 1K," she said to Andrew.

When we were all seated, she came to the front and said, "thank you for flying with Arik Air. If there's anything you need to make your flight comfortable please tell any of the hostesses and we'll serve you to the best of our abilities.

"And before I go, I just have to say to the Coles, sorry for your loss." and with a small smile she left business class.

Everyone knew us.

Everywhere we went everyone sent sympathetic smiles our way.

We were big news in America, thanks to the press.
