Warm December's

(2)

My annoyance was getting to me as I couldnt let the fact go that a complete jerk was sitting next to me. Not only did he not apologize for bumping into me but now he wouldnt let Emma and I sit together. I just turn my head and look out the window when they were explaining the safety measures of the plane. I quietly plugged my ear buds into my phone and play some music from my favorite playlist. I glance at the front of the plane where the girl in the red uniform still stands but soon enough she leaves heading further down the plane where I cant see her. When Im about to turn back to look out the window I feel a tap on my shoulder.

What Jerk? I ask too tired to sound angry.

I was going to ask you why yo-

Yeah sorry I tried to act like I dont hate you for a second but I couldnt. So whatever it was Im sure it didnt matter. I cut him off.

Serio-

I dont care jerk. I cut him off again.

Stop calling me that! My name is dean!

Did I ask? I question smirking.

Wow He turns to Emma. Is she always this stubborn?

Born and raised. She smirked and I give Emma the look shes usually giving me.

That makes since. He turns back to me.

Youre so annoying. I whisper under my breath looking at the seat in front of me.

I heard that. He tells me but I dont bother to turn and look at him.

Im glad. I stop responding to his sarcastic comments and close my eyes, letting the music drown out all the sounds around me.

"Winter!" I heard my best friend yell and I open my eyes taking one of my ear buds out.

"Sorry did I zone out again?" I turn to look out the window seeing weve already taken off.

"We are already in the air!" I say surprised. It was beautiful; I had never been on a plane before.

Yeah, its amazing! I hear Emma say as I look out the window again.

"So your name is Winter?" He asks making me turn to look at him.

Yes I tell him, my eyes not leaving his face.

Unique name. he tells me. It suits you.

Are you trying to be nice? I ask my eyebrow lifting.

"Why yes I am.

Why would you do that? I ask, honestly intrigued.

You don't have to be rude." He says chuckling.

"Me, rude? I ask pointing to myself. Okay, whatever makes you happy?

It makes me so happy. He laughs and I roll my eyes. Emma just sits there watching a movie, totally ignoring wherever this conversation was going.

"Excuse me maam..." A lady said. I scoot forward to make eye contact with the girl that looked a little older than me and wearing that same red uniform.

"Do you want anything?" She asks and I look a little to the right to see a cart in front of her.

"Um... Can I have water please? I said.

"Oh someone has manners..." Dean intrudes.

"Shut up!" I say as I push his arm. He starts to laugh.

Here. She hands me water and I mumble a thank you when she moves up to the row in front of us.

"So... What are you doing when you get to Florida?" He asks.

"Well I have to go to school unfortunately and I dont know what else. I guess ill figure it out." I tell him somewhat getting sad.

"Youre in luck because no one likes school. He laughs. And no one really knows what theyre going to be doing with their life this young so youre good." He tells me as he tugs on his leather jacket and brushes his hand threw his hair. He coughs looking away when it gets awkward. That guy that just talked to me was not the one from earlier. I liked this side of him. I once again look out the window. I breathe in and out.

I don't know what's going to happen when we get to Florida. As much as we planned this out, it would never tell us how our future would go. The apartment we had has been waiting for us, paid and dealt with but we decided to stay in a hotel the first week so the furniture could get moved it. The school we were going to was going to be fine but you never know how the people would be. I couldnt imagine my life without Emma. Shes all that I have left. I couldnt have a sad goodbye to her too.

As the spots of rain started appearing I start to walk a little faster not wanting to get soaked. Tears in my eyes couldnt be contained and all I wanted was my mom. The trust in my life was gone; my heart felt like it was gone, no longer there. Emma was out with her boyfriend and as much as I wanted her, she could help me later. I walk up the stairs to the small apartment I had lived in my whole life, just wanting to go to my room and cry as I was now heartbroken. I turn the key to open the apartment door but the door pushes in. It was already open. A pit in my stomach starts to make me nervous and I start to walk in but stop when I see the floor. I see blood.

"Mom Dad!? I call out opening the door further. I stop when the door is fully open and see my parents lying on the ground, blood where their bodies lay. I cover my mouth with my hands and let myself cry. My hands still on my mouth I look to my left and see my sister. I stand there, guilt all over my face I wasnt there. I start to cry even more and I bend down to my knees.

"Mom!? Mom, please wake up! Youre okay! Youre okay!" She didn't move and I move her head so shes lying on my lap. Please! I cry and set my head on her stomach sobbing. I look to my dad who lies next to her. I move to him and shake him.

"DAD! DAD PLEASE WAKE UP!" I yell and I know there gone but that doesnt stop me from yelling. I look over to my sister whose eyes are still open. I run over to my sister and shake her and check for a pulse but nothing.

"COME ON, PLEASE MOVE! I cant lose you!" I look down on them and try to wipe my tears that wont stop coming down. I just lay there, my head on my sisters chest, sobbing. Knowing I lost everything. How? How could someone do this?

Tears drop from my eyes remembering that sad moment of my life but I quickly wipe my tears remembering my rules. Don't show emotion, dont show you care, and don't let people in. Emma is the only person who knows. That's why we are here now, on this plane heading for Florida, about to start a new life, about to start my new life.
