Kidnapped

Sleeping and Jumping

Before I knew it, we were being swept into a private jet. Kayla snuggled up next to Harry on a small couch, but at least they weren’t making out so I could talk to her. Liam and I sat close together on the couch across from them. A butler dude set a platter of fancy cheeses and crackers in front of us, but none of us ate.

    “Are you taking us home?” I ask Louis, who was sitting on a chair near us drinking a glass of beer.

    “Yes, but first you are going to an interview in California. Your family will meet up with you there.”

    I nod, and just hearing the words ‘your family’ made me feel better. I turned to Liam. “What about their family?”

    “They will be there too, I just contacted them,” Louis says.

    I wondered what our parent’s reaction was when he called saying we were kidnapped for a reality show.

    “The flight is about 4 hours, so go ahead and get some rest. You’ve had a hard week.”

    “That’s an understatement.” Kayla screamed, and then her head flopped onto Harry’s lap and she was out like a light.

    It took me a little longer to finally fall asleep, so Liam and I whispered for a while. Louis was snoring a few feet away, which was kind of funny.

    “I can’t believe this all happened,” Liam says, leaning his head into me.

    “Me either,” I say. “I’m just looking forward to put all of this behind us.”

    “All of it?” He raised his eyebrow.

    “Maybe not ALL of it,” I smiled, leaned in and kissed him. Fireworks went through my body, just like last time.

    Louis interrupted our very romantic situation by making a weird pig noise in his sleep. Liam and I both started to laugh, and before I knew it I was falling asleep in his arms.

    The first thing that I saw when when I woke up was Harry. He was still asleep, so I moved carefully so that I could look to see if Marisa or Liam were awake.

    Marisa was asleep in Liam’s arms, which I’m sure she’ll freak out about later, but Liam was awake, resting his head on hers.

    I mouthed “hi” and he smiled. He nodded at Marisa and grinned.

    “Again?” I mouthed.

    He raised his eyebrows as if to say, “Oh yea? How many times have you and Harry kissed?”

    I shrugged, because I really didn’t know. Liam laughed, but not loud enough to wake Marisa or Harry. I untangled myself from Harry so that I could sit up.

    His eyes fluttered, “Hey.”

    Suddenly the lights on the plane went dark, and I felt the plane tilt. Louis woke with a start, “Whhaaa?”

    “Wake Marisa up!” I screamed at Liam.

    He started to and I turned to a confused looking Harry, who was still half asleep, “Wake up!”

    Harry eyes opened the rest of the way and he sat up straight, alert. “What’s going on?”

    The plane tilted again, and I felt it loosing gravity. “I don’t know. I think we’re crashing.”

    Marisa screamed, going into panic, “What!? We’re what? Is this part of the show?”

    Louis jumped out of his seat, “No! It’s not!”

    “People, people stay calm!” Harry screamed.

    Marisa and Louis were NOT calm. Marisa turned to Liam and grabbed his shoulders, “WE’RE GONNA DIE!!!!!”

    Liam looked a little shocked, “No we’re not. It’s ok.”

    “IT IS SOO NOT OK!” Marisa screamed.

    “CALM DOWN!” I yelled at her, and she stopped screaming for the moment.

    The plane lost all gravity. I could tell by the way we stopped moving forward, and then I felt my body being pulled upward by the momentum.

    I heard Marisa screaming and Liam shouting and Harry swearing, and I didn’t even want to know that sounds that I was making, so I focused on trying to see again.

    I reached blindly in front of me for something to hold on to but came back empty handed. Then I felt what could only be the plane’s ceiling smashing into my back

and I screamed. “MARISA!” Liam said, and I saw her body crash into the wall.

    We were falling. I heard Harry’s voice screaming at the top of his lungs, “GUYS! GET TO THE WALL! I THINK WE’RE GONNA LAND ON WATER! IF WE JUMP OUT CLOSE ENOUGH WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET OUT!”

    Marisa was screaming, like a lot. She wouldn’t stop, except to let a few chocked sobs out. I felt like crying myself, but instead just let a lot of really nasty words of my mouth that Marisa would usually have hit me for saying.

    But I heard Harry, and I began to make my way towards his voice. I was about five feet away when he grabbed my arm and pulled me the rest of the way. He was hanging onto a chair by one hand, and we were so close to the window that I could almost touch it.

    Wait, it wasn’t a window it was an emergency exit. “LIAM! MARISA!” I screamed, and saw them making their way over.

    “Help me open it.” Harry said.

    I nodded and we began to pull. “Stand back!” Harry screamed, but it was too late.

    I don’t know a lot about science but I knew that when you opened a plane stuff flew out. I guess I just wasn’t thinking clearly when I did. I almost fell out of the plane when I felt someone’s arms on me, I don’t know who.

    “Thanks!” I screamed, probably to Harry, but for all I know it could have been Louis.

    I could see the water now. “OK, Marisa you go first..”

    “NO WAY!” Marisa screams.

    “I’ll go!” Liam says, a little shakily.

    “OK, GO NOW!” Harry screamed again.

    Liam jumped out of the plane. “GOOD LUCK!” I called down.

    “I’ll go.” Marisa said, not trying to hide tears. As she jumped I yelled down in encouragement, “DON’T DIE!”

    “YOU GO!” Harry said.

    I wasn’t gonna argue. I jumped and felt my stomach drop. I screamed as the water came up to me but it didn’t hurt to bad when I finally hit.

    I saw Liam and Marisa already pretty far away, but I wanted to wait for Harry. I saw him jump out and he screamed as he fell.

    The minute he hit the water the plane exploded.
