Their Destiny (COMPLETED/EDITING)

Some old love

We reached the airport on time and we all rushed towards the plane to get everything set before the passengers start arriving. Too many things were on my mind: Kayl of course, my illness, the new apartment and how I'm gonna tell my folks about it and the beautiful perfect thought of taking off. It was the first time for me to fly as a disqualified pilot. My heart hurt and my soul felt empty, but nothing in the world is going to be able to make me stop being a pilot, not even diabetes. Who said I can't fly a plane while taking insulin shots, the rules? Well fuck the rules!

And before I could know it, it was time for take off and reaching the sky where everything is peaceful and quiet. Everything went well and the plane was soon balanced in the air, I was distracted/overwhelmed by flying and it took me a while to notice that Kayl was looking at my direction.

"What is it?" I asked after feeling nervous cuz of how he was just looking at me silently. But of course, he didn't reply. Instead, he just shook his head and looked at the sky in front of us.

I stared at his side profile for a moment or two, that jaw line, that Adam's apple, those very short brown waves tucked gently behind his ear and I wondered what's going on in his head.

I thought he wanted to apologize but that didn't suit Kayl. I would've been shocked -in a bad way- if he apologized to me. I didn't know the reason behind this silet stare but I guess that was when it all started, for him.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Samantha said "Please fasten your seat belt and keep your seat in an upright position preparing for landing in Los Angeles, California." Back home.

Even though I'm never away from home for too long, I always feel happy to land back in L.A

I guess my parents' fear of never coming back home transfered to me and I actually think about it every time I fly. However, I was home safe and sound and that's what matters the most.

"Goodbye you guys, see you tomorrow." I said after we all changed and were about to go home.

"No not tomorrow." Johnny said " tomorrow's off, we'll see each others again after tomorrow." I was so happy when I knew this, after the whole hospital thing all I needed was 16 hours of sleep.

"Alright then." Melissa said smiling " after tomorrow it is."

I went to the parking lot to find my dad's Toyota waiting for me -thanks god he has another car- I threw my bag on the backseat and as I closed the door Kayl came down the stairs, more like ran down the stairs.

He glanced at me for less than a second then got in to his car and drove away as if I was invisible. I shook it off and went back to my life. To keep my promise, I called my mom to let her know I'm not dead yet.

"Okay dear." My mom said "go have some rest till I prepare the food."

"Alright mom, love you." I said rushing up the stairs to my bedroom where I threw myself on the bed for 20 minutes staring at the ceiling drowning in my thoughts.

The past few days were just out of this world, I'm actually having these days when everything is going perfect and I'm doing a lot of progress.

Later I felt like changing my clothes in to something comfortable, my yellow pajamas it is. After I took a warm shower and got myself back together I called Jane.

"Jay!" I said when she picked up the phone.

"Des, welcome back, how was Brooklyn?" She asked, I thought of telling her what happened but I just couldn't. The word diabetes wouldn't come out of my mouth, I just couldn't accept the fact that I'm sick,,, forever.

"It was." I hesitated "It was awesome, I had a blast." I lied, I had to, I can't say this to anyone. Jane is my best friend but she still can't find out about this, I didn't feel guilty though. That wasn't the first time for me to hide something from her anyways, I guess some secrets are not meant to be told.

"Great, I know going back to flying will improve your mode. Anyway, how's the hot pilot?" Please don't Jane.

"He's,,, the same, we talked a bit but nothing huge." I guess I couldn't help but lying, my tongue refused to say things about what happened in Brooklyn.

"He'll fall for you sooner or later, just like everyone who works with you." She hurt me a little by saying this, anything related to him did. I didn't reply to what she said, I guess she realized I don't wanna talk about this so she changed the subject.

"So,," she paused "Owen! Are yoh feee tonight maybe you can check an apartment out or something."

"No, I'm actually busy tonight." I smiled remembering that I had an interesting night ahead of me.

"You bitch! Making plans from behind my back." I was actually.

"Yeah life is busy. Anyways, I have to go now, but I'll call you tomorrow."

"Alright, be alert cuz Owen might call you at any time, and don't forget to tell me the details of your date." Did she really had to plant this idea in my head!

"Sure, and it's NOT a date." I hung up and rushed downstairs as the food's smell was all over the house and I was drooling.

As mom and I were eating dad came back from work to join us, my family has always been this type of family with a shifting mode. A day we're laughing and enjoying ourselves, the next silence is all across the place; a day we have absolutely no problems, the other everything starts collapsing. It's always been this way for us, but I guess that day we were having one of those good days, that I -intentionally- ruined.

"If you don't have any plans tonight? I was thinking maybe we can have a movie night." My dad suggested, I would've loved to stay the night with them but I was never a person who cancels her plans at the last minute.

"Actually I am busy tonight." I said looking down on my plate avoiding eye contact.

"No problem, maybe tomorrow night." My mom said with a happy face trying to save the day, I guess the day was meant to be ruined.

"I'm busy all day tomorrow." I mumbled still staring at my plate.

"Work?" My dad asked and there goes the bomb.

"No,," I had to tell them even though I didn't want to "I'm going to look for an apartment for myself." My father threw his fork on the table and turned to me with a red face.

"Are you seriously doing this again Destiny?" He yelled "You just keep reviving the things that ruined your life before. First you go back to flying, now the whole apartment thing, what next? You're gonna come to me again out of nowhere telling me you're engaged to some random stranger who ends up breaking your heart!"

Every single thing he said took a little piece of my happiness, and I don't mean my temporary happiness, I mean my main happiness. Whenever I pass through a happy day this memory will haunt me and slowly dim my happiness . I didn't know what to say, in fact nothing could be said. I couldn't keep such an argument going, not with my father. Silence was, as usual my sanctuary.
