Falling For The Blue Eyed Boy

chp. 2

I had almost forgotten how big LAX was. It was like a maze in there.

I was not prepared for this 5 hour flight. Planes make me nervous. I always end up throwing up if I don't fall asleep.

"I'm sorry kiddo," my dad said. He says it every time we have to move. "At least you'll be closer to your grandparents!"

My mom's parents live a block away from our new house. Awe my mom. I miss her more than anything. She died right before we moved to California from leukemia. It was so sudden and so painful. The one person who helped me through it all was Hana.

Wow. I really miss Hana.

While in California, my dad found a really nice woman and they got married a couple months ago and they decided to move again so I can be closer to my grandparents so I can feel more connected to mom.

"Don't worry, Emily. It'll be fine," said Charlotte, my step-mom.

"Now boarding Flight 57 to North Carolina" said the man on the loudspeaker. Here I go.

On the plane, I was sitting across the aisle from my dad and Charlotte.

Yes finally a seat to myself.

"Is this seat taken?" Said this boy with brown hair.

"No. You can sit here."

I couldn't help but stare at his beautiful blue eyes.
