This story is set in the 2010s Freddie will be 30 in 2010
My family (my mom, my dad and I) travel a lot, one because our family is very big and spread all over the place, in different states and even different coutires but we visit them on thier birthdays and some holidays and two because my mom loves to travel all over the world.
This year my mom and dad decided that we would be going to visit London just for a family vacation, I'm very excited!
"Sophie, come here please." my mom yells to me from downstairs.
"Okay." I respond as I get off of my bed and start to walk down the stairs.
When I get to the living room where my mom is she told me to come sit by her at the couch.
"Do you want to know who lives in London?" she asks me.
"Sure." I say.
"Freddie Mercury lives in London!" she says enthusiastically.
"Really?!" I ask with excitedly.
"Yes, really, love." my mom says
Freddie Mercury is the lead singer to my favorite band Queen.
My mom told me when she was young her father started listening to Queen and of course she didn't like them because her father liked them, she wouldn't like anything her father liked but 2 years later her father got into a car crash and died. After her father died she took the time to listen to Queen and she loved them and became obssesed with Queen but she loved Queen even more because they reminded her of her father.
After hearing my mom listen to Queen my whole life I also became a fan of Queen.
I was already very excited for our trip to London but now I'm way more excited than I was before.
But anyways, my mom decided that we would leave to go to London on September 1st, which is tomorrow so that is when we will be leaving for our flight. My mom planned for the flight to be at midnight because it takes about 18 hours to get to London from Houston, Texas, which is where we live. So if we take the midnight flight we will arive at a hotel somewhere in between London and Texas, I'm not exactly sure where that might be though but we will get to the hotel around 7 AM. And then if we take another flight at midnight from the hotel to London it will take another 9 hours and then we should get to London at about 7 AM.
-The Next Day-
Today we are going to be leaving for London, but the flight is schedualed for midnight so we have all day to get things sorted out for the trip. We have time to pack, make sure we have somebody to feed our dog and let him outside and check on our house while we are away, and buy extra things we might need for the trip.
-11 PM-
The day went by fast which is a good thing because I am very excited to go to London It's about 11:20 AM and we are packing, I'm almost finished packing my stuff when my dad tells me to come down stairs because we're about to leave to catch our flight. I stuff my last shirt into my bag and head for my bedroom door, but quickly turn around almost forgeting one of the most important things I own, my button (or pin) with the Queen's crest on it. I look in my drawer and grab my button, turn my bedroom light off, close the door and run down the stairs.

(This is what the button/pin looks like)
"There you are, finally" my dad says when I get to the bottom of the stairs.
"Sorry, I had to get my button." I say
"Ok, but we need to hurry, we don't want to miss our flight" he says
And we walk to our car where my mom is waiting for us. We get in the car and my dad start to drive away to the airport.
On the plane it's about 4 hours into the flight when I wake up to someone crying. It didn't sound like a baby , it sounded like a woman crying. After a few seconds of the crying I heard someone whisper "shhhhh" and then I could barely hear the crying anymore. I tried to go back to sleep but I had to use the restroom. I looked next to me at my mom who is sleeping then look behind me at my dad who is asleep next to a some stranger. I am scared to go to the restroom alone because to the quietness and how dark it is but i have to go by myself. As i get up to use the restroom i hear the crying again so I stop walking and a few seconds later I hear a mans voice whisper "I told you to be quiet" then it was quiet again. I continue to walk to the restroom when I hear someone whisper "hey" and grab my wrist I turn around and ask "Yes?" but I got no response so I just stand there until my eyes adjust and when they do I see a lady with a big hand over her mouth and her eyes looked watery, I looked beside her and saw the man whose hand was over the womans face, I am absolutely frozen because I'm so scared "Go" the man said to me and I run the rest of the way to the restroom almost falling over because of the plane moving and when I was done I ran the rest of the way back to my seat.
