Very, Very, Very far away

Chapter Five

This wasn't looking good. I was absolutely panicking, but I tried to keep cool so Jem wouldn't panic.

"What's going on?" He whispered to my ear.
" nothing it not a big deal." I aid as calm as I could.
"Are you sure?" He sounded frightened.
"Yes, calm down" I Said, reaching for his hand. He grabbed mine in a flash, and queried it like he was going to die.
Quite accurate.
Penny! Stop thinking this! You'll be fine. You'll live. It's nothing.I had told myself.
At that moment the speaker came on.
The pilot started to talk but was interrupted by a loud
CRKSSSSS raddled the thunder.

A storm.

Whatever the pilot said, i completely didn't hear him.i was Frozen.
I couldn't do anything.
I wasn't even breathing, I don't think.

The look on Jeremy's face froze me.

It could almost stop time.

He looked like he was going to faint.i hurried and hugged the boy so tight I thought I was going to kill him before the storm would kill us.

Wasn't this just lovely?

Jem's first time flying, his biggest fear happened.

It was complete chaos around us. Students where puking crying, yelling...
Mr. Simmons only looked at them. He was obviously in shock too.
He didn't know what to do.

I wouldn't either.

The voice of the pilot came back on. I was too frozen to make out what he said, it was just fuzz. But I'm guessing he told the attendant to do something because they all hurried to the back and acme out with bright yellow things.

I let go of the hug I gave Jem. He was almost crying. He would be if I wasn't in front of him. I silently tapped the container where they said that the life jackets would be.

"We're gonna die, Penny." He said,
also frozen.

I forced the best smile on my face. It took everything I had to not bawl my eyes out.

"No, well make it, I promise. Now put your jacket on" I Said before I shoved the box open and grabbed the life jackets.

We both shoved ours on as the pilot's voice came back on.

This time I heard clearly what he said.

But, I wish I didn't.

" HURRY! WE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME DAMN IT!!!!GO." He yelled at the attendants. This was EXTREMELY urgent.

Almost a second later the lights went out and my ears started popping. We where slowly going down.

The flight attendant rushed to us and gave us one of the yellow things. Later I learned it was a raft.

The attendant yelled at us to follow the lights on the isle to the nearest exit and pull the string on the yellow thing and jump on it.
Before confirming our attention, she rushed to the next seat and gave them the raft and the instructions.

Jem and I both shot up at the same time, and sprinted to the exit, Jem holding the raft. He was ahead of me, being how fast he was.

Pop.pop.pop.
My ears.

I slammed my hands over my ears and screamed, noticing almost other children did it too.

Then I felt my stomac drop.

We where now falling. Fast.
Too fast.

My body coudint adjust. I was really bad with fast moving things like roller coasters.

I fell to my knees and looked up.

Jeremy had now noticed I was far behind him, and he yelled my name.

Well I'm guessing it was my name.
All I heard was "PPPOPPSHHHHH!!!"
Close enough.

Other people where running over me, To get to the exit.

At This point, people started jumping out, and Jem was officially out of my sight.

A small smiled was on my face at the hope Jem would survive.

CRAKKSSSS roared the thunder again.

I was going to die, no doubt.

Jem has already left.

I was crumpling in the ground at the sound and feeling in my belly.
I tried to crawl to the exit, but it hurt. A lot.

I was bruised all over, with the amount of foots trampoline over me.

Then It Stoped.

And yet, somehow it hurt more.
My eyes where shut but I knew by the feeling in my body that the plane had hit the ocean.

Now it was sinking.

My ears where still popping, and they hurt like hell. I has going deaf, no doubt.

I removed my hands from my ears and laid them down next to me. There was less and less people trampling over me by the minute.

And then at one point, it was quiet.
I was probably deaf now.

I would die deaf.

Not actually bad. That way I won't hear myself die.

Just peace.

A slow stream of water gained up on me. Tickling my back.

I let out a breath, knowing it was over.
A silent tear rolled my cheek as I said my last words.
"I'm sorry Jem..."
And then there was a Sharp pain on my shoulder, before I died.

The end.
