"Hurry up! We're gonna miss the plane!" I heard my mom shout from downstairs.
I was in my room making sure I didn't forget anything. We were returning home after spending two years in New York.
First, my family and I thought moving to a big city would be comfortable, unlike
living in a magnet for disasters like Lebanon, but we were proven wrong enough to return to the life we were living two years ago.
To everyone's surprise, there wasn't a little bit of traffic, so we made it to the airport in fifty minutes.
When we were eating in a restaurant at the airport, the flight was about to take off in thirty five minutes.
I just ordered a milkshake while David, my older brother, ate dinner for the third time this evening.
"Dude, you eat like a pig!"
He just rolled his eyes and took another bite of his hamburger.
When I finished, I went to the bathroom. On my way back, I tripped over someone and dropped a bag they were carrying.
"Sorry! Didn't see you coming." I said as I picked up the bag.
"Oh it's okay" A man's voice said.
I stood up and slowly examined him. He was a young man, maybe in his early thirties, blue eyes, brown hair, and, in a way, beautiful.
He shot me a kind smile and said:
"What a brave young boy."
Brave? What?..
Then his face became serious.
"Listen carefully."
What the hell does this stranger want from me?
Then, like he was answering my thoughts, he said:
"I want you to do me a favor."
