Back to you

leaving and arriving

12/12/18

It is now 10 pm we have to leave to go to the airport at 11.00, I'm really tired but I can fall asleep because we have to leave in an hour. So I decided to watch some tv, one of my favourite movies was on, "Focus" I love that movie. I lost track of the time it was already 10.48 and my mum walked into my room

"Leilani it's time to go, do you have everything ready"

"Yes" I said turning off my tv, getting out of my bed, taking my phone off charge and putting my charger in my backpack which is gonna be my carry-on. I grabbed my headphones and put them in my pocket, I was wearing short grey shorts with an orange oversized jumper that was covering my shorts and my brown Ugg boots. I put some grey tracksuit pants in my carry-on so that when we get to America it's gonna be cold so I can put them on.

I switched off all my wall plug things and walked into the kitchen. My dad was outside putting the suite cases into the car and my mum was in the kitchen on the phone with someone. I walked up to her to ask her a question but she just lowered her voice and walked over to the lounge room... umm ok.

My dad walked in and my mum started walking into her and my dad's bedroom grabbing his arm and pulling him with her. They were in their room with the phone now on lower speaker, I couldn't hear what they were saying but the person on the phone had an accent, they definitely weren't Australian.

They were in there for a couple of minutes and then they came out into the lounge room

"Alright time to go" my mum said

"What was that about" I asked

"What was what about sweetie" my mum looked over at my dad with a concerned look on he face

"The phone call, when I tried to talk to you you lowered your voice and walked off. Oh and who was on the phone and don't play stupid with me"

"Honey we can't answer your question just yet, we'll have to wait till we get to America then we can answer them, I'm sorry sweetie" my mum and dad started to turn all the lights off "Come on outside we have to leave now" we walked out to the car, my dad locked the front door and hopped into the driver's seat.

We arrived at the airport at 11.42, the whole ride was really awkward like my parents wouldn't stop looking at each other and then looking at me. I reached for the door handle to open the door but my dad locked the car and told me to move to the middle seat, I was really freaked out by this point.

"Listen honey" my mum said as the looked at my father with tears in her eyes, they both turned over to me and looked at me "we just want you to know we love you so so much and we would never just stop loving you" she said about to cry

"What's going on" I asked confused

"We just want you to know that" my dad said

I was getting really concerned and freaked out "I love you guys too" I said, we all went in for a hug and my mum started to cry. Wtf what's happening, why are they telling me that they love me I mean they always do but this time it's different this time it has so much more meaning. My mum dried her tears then we got out of the car.

13/12/18 12.00 am

We got inside checked in and went to go eat. I asked some more questions about America but they didn't answer me. After we finished eating we went over to security and did all that then went to our gate and sat waiting for our plane. It was 12.47 and we had to start boarding the plane at 1 am so not long. I walked over to the kiosk thing and looked at the magazines, they weren't that interesting but then I saw one that said "Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston reunited at last" I knew I was all bullshit but I couldn't help but smile so I bought it, I also bought some lollies and a bottle of water to have on the plane. I went back down to my seat, sat down and went on my phone.

It is now 1 am we should start boarding the plane any minute now and I was right the door opened and we lined up. I showed the lady my ticket and walked on with my parents behind me. We got on the plane and I showed the flight attendant my ticket and she pointed me to my seat. I went and sat down, I was on the window side my mum in the middle and my dad in the row seat. After everyone boarded the plane and got in their seats then we took off.

It is now 8.30 pm we only have 30 minutes left of the flight I slept for most of it I got 12 hours of sleep I'm pretty proud of myself, I never sleep for that long. Anyway I'm really excited I've never been to America before, actually, I've only been overseas once and that was to Fiji for a wedding. Since we only have 30 minutes left I'm going to watch an episode of Friends because why not? So that's what I did then the seat belt sign came on and the captain said that we are landing this, of course, made me have a little moment in my seat. I put my seat belt on and waited for us to land.

After we landed we got off the plane, it was different already. We walked over to baggage claim and then went to a cafe to have a drink and relax for a bit which didn't make sense because we were sitting for about 14 straight hours. We were having our coffee and talking I was so focused on what we were doing that I had not realised what was going on around me and by that I mean the what cafe was just cleared out but us.

"Wow that's weird, everyone left and we're......." I never finished my sentence because what I saw was way more important than finishing a sentence. I couldn't believe she was walking into the exact same cafe as I was in. I never ever thought that this would ever happen, I wished for it but they never come true.

"OMG OMG OMG" I whisper yelled and put my head down on the table hoping she won't notice me

"What honey" my mum asked curiously

"Omg it's her it's J..Jen...Jennifer, omg hide me"

"What happened to you liking her" my dad asked

"Yeah, I love her, b...but I don't want her to notice me" I don't know how loud I said this but it was definitely loud enough for her to hear me

"Why is that" she said looking over at me smiling with tears in her eyes. She's smiling at me as if she knows me like she hasn't seen me in years, as she misses me

I was in shock Jennifer Aniston was talking to me, me Leilani Morgan. I didn't want her to see me, I mean I love her but it's just she's Jennifer Aniston I'm just so nervous and I'll probably just make a foul of myself. I've already made her cry.
