Chapter 2

Chapter 2 guys!!! Leggo

********************************

The ride to the airport was a feat in its self. The first 15 minutes or so was pure silence. You could feel the tension in the air and cut it with a knife. Somehow though the car turned into an arena for a screaming match. I was furious still at my parents for not telling me and at my brother for not saying anything either. My parents were yelling back at me for being so unreasonable and dramatic. How can I be the unreasonable one when I'm being moved to another country with no prior knowledge? Calum was yelling for who knows what.

After 35 minutes we had to pull over because Calum was getting sick and everyone was hungry. Between Calum finishing his business, ordering the food and eating in the pit stop  because god help us if a crumb spills in the car, the whole event took almost half an hour.

The airport is an hour away and we still have 25 minutes left to go. The rest of the ride was pretty steady other than the argument of what radio channel we should put on. While my family argued over that, I was on my phone starring at old pictures.A group picture of the girls and I came up. We were all dressed up in our Halloween costumes, hanging off of each other. We were the cheetah girls that year. We had fought for so long who was gonna be which cheetah girl. What am I going to do without them. My best friends. No more sleepovers, hanging out, even hugging each other.... I'll have to find all new friends and make new memories. What if these new girls don't like me though? oh lord, I'm really gonna fall apart and soon. Another picture popped up then. It was at an old camp I used to go to during the summers, where i first met Chris. We were at the campfire roasting marshmallows that night. I can still smell the sticky fluff and burnt wood. In the picture I had s'more all over my face and Chris had it all over his hand. I think you can guess what happened. I think ill miss him just a little more than the rest.

Once we got to the airport each of us grabbed our own bags and rolled them inside. Looking around, I spotted the check-in lines and went in that direction. The lady swiftly put the tags on the bag and sent them off.

It had been an hour and a half before we got to security. I mean in all honesty there cannot be this many people that live here. Besides the point, now it's my turn to walk through the metal detector. I placed my bag on the conveyor belt and walked through.

Beep! Beep! A loud buzzer went off. Strange, I checked the metal detector but that's not what went off. "Ma'am what's in your bag", an attendant held up and pill bottle. My meds... I mentally slapped my forehead and sighed. Trying to sound as convincing as possible, I pleaded to the women," oh, they're just my meds". As reassuring as that might have sounded the look on her face didn't change.

The attendant looked at the security officer and nodded behind her. A hand snaked around my upper arm pulling me out of the line and towards a door. His deep voice boom, "Come this way ma'am". I thought about trying to pull away but decided against it. The man was easily over 6 foot and 200 lbs. He could take me out without question so i'll save myself the trouble. How much trouble could I be in anyways?

It wasn't long until I was sitting in an empty room with only a table and one other chair in it. This looks like one of those crime show scenes. Just without the two-way glass window. There was a creepy feeling in the air that sent a shiver down my spine. Come to think of it, why am I in here? What did I do? Now I'm really starting to freak out.

A creaking door brought me out of my thoughts. A tall and lean women stepped in, shutting the door behind her. She was tan with her black hair in a tight bun. I'm guessing that she isn't a security officer since she wasn't wearing the uniform but a pencil skirt and blazer. The women came closer and sat in the chair in front of me and spoke, "Ms. Lambert, hello", she started and held out her hand. I briefly shook it and she continued, "I'm just going to ask you a few questions ok?".

The first couple questions were pretty basic stuff like who I'm travelling with. Of  course I answered with my family. Where am I traveling to.  Why exactly am I being questioned though? What is this information needed for? The lady then proceeded to pull out my pill bottle and place it in front of me. "Ma'am I need you to tell me what these are", The lady gave me a look of 'we-doing-drugs-now?' Not exactly knowing what she was trying to insinuate I said as serious as I could, "Those are my anxiety meds miss". The lady smiled, stood up, opened the door and said I could leave.

I.Am.Speechless

you've got to be kidding me. This women just interrogated me for a solid 30 minutes just for to say they're my meds. She's crazy. I need to leave before I get mad and lose it at her. Calm as I can be at this moment, I collected myself and slowly walked out of the room giving a light smile before leaving. I then stormed towards my waiting family. Once they saw me they all sighed of relief and stood up. Assuming my stomp of fury was noticeable, not a word was spoken until we reached our seats.

As if things couldn't get any worse! I just have to laugh at this point I'm too tired to be angry. I have a nice amount of coke spilt across my pants. I look like a 5 year old that pee'd themselves. My day is starting to look like some american action movie, something happening around every single corner. If this day doesn't end fast I might just never leave my house again. It's not worth running the risk of this day re-occurring.

The rest of the flight I spent sleeping . I just hope when I wake up this is a dream or something. If not at least a better day.

*resume to Madeline*

Someone is shaking me trying to wake me up. I push their hand away, I don't wanna get up yet it's too early. I'm not ready for school. Suddenly my earplugs are pulled out and someone says," sweetie, come on, the plane landed, time to go". Plane? What? I opened my eyes and remembered everything.

Ah shit. It wasn't a dream.
