Mr.Walker

Chapter 25

We arrived at the airport, Charlotte and her mom got out of the car. I sat in the back seat too caught in my thoughts, I look over towards the window where Charlotte was tapping the glass.

She opens the door and grabs my hand leading me out of the car, she hands me my suitcase and we start to walk in. I was ready to leave for a while and clear my head, I needed this. As I walk to the doors of the airport I look at Charlotte and she gives me a slight nod telling the that it was going to be okay.

We got our tickets scanned and our bags loaded, not one word was exchanged the whole 3 hours we were there.

"Flight 231" a female voice came over the speaker.

"That's us!" Charlotte's mom exclaimed.

We got up and walked to the ramp and got into our seats on the plane. This was my first time ever being on a plane. I plugged in my headphones and started to get comfortable because this was going to be a long ride. As I was starting to fall asleep I couldn't stop thinking about my mom and my family and friends, but most of all, Joshua.

I wasn't ready to face him again, and I wasn't ready to face reality when I get back home. The thought keeps reoccurring to me...

What if I ran away forever?.

No I couldn't, I have friends who love me and family that I love. I want my life to be normal again before mom had remarried.

I reach into my pocket and pull out my keys. On the keychain is my real dads wedding ring, I spin it around on my finger as I start to feel tired, this was the last thing my dad ever had. I put my keys back into my pocket and think about how everything would be if he was alive.

Charlotte looks over at me and sees a stray tear go down my face, she moves her body facing me and grabs my face to brush the tear off with her thumb.

"Jessica, what's wrong?" She said in a worried tone.

"I miss my dad Charlotte, I miss him being home" I say as I break down into a complete mess.

"Shhh, I know you do, but he's not suffering anymore, and he is with you he's right here". Charlotte whispered as she pointed to my heart.

I know Charlotte misses him too because he loved her like a daughter too. She would always come over and he would call us the dynamic duo.

"Hey, I have a great idea. Once we get back we will go see dad" she said in a attempt to cheer me up.

Charlotte has always called my dad, her dad too. I am the same with her mom. I thank Charlotte for trying to cheer me up, I move back into my napping position and fall into a deep sleep for the whole ride.
