Leila's P.O.V

The remainder of the flight was pretty rough. Leila predicted that Seth had threw up because he looked awful. His skin was pale, and he had really tan skin so that was really a sign. His lips were cracked and dry, not that she was looking at his lips. His eyes were red too. Like he'd been crying. Jacob didn't ask if he was okay though, he was too busy eating and Leila didn't know if she should try talk to him. She didn't want to be a bother.

The food was all collected up. The turbulence got worse and they had to put their seat belts back on. Leila was so afraid. She peeked outside the window and there were clouds everywhere. It was just all white and grey. She saw flashes of lightning in the distance. She didn't let Seth see her face because she was so terrified. He was sick so the last thing she wanted was for him to worry about her.

Leila chewed her fingernails, well tried to but they were already all bitten too short to she started biting the bits of skin beside them. She did this often. It distracted her. But she wished she could stop. It was a bad habit which often led to her fingers bleeding. She ripped one bit back too far and a drop of blood welled up on the surface of her finger. She wanted a band-aid but was too afraid to ask so she just licked the blood away and held the tiny cut with her other hand. It stung a little. 

A few more hours passed. The turbulence finally calmed and they were able to take their belts off again. Leila was exhausted by this point but was afraid to sleep and have that dream again. An announcement was made over the speaker that said, "The plane will be landing in 1 hour. We encourage you all to start gathering your things. Feel free to leave any rubbish behind. Our cleaning crew will take care of it. Thank you once again for choosing our airlines."

Leila hadn't really gotten anything out so she just stayed put and stared at the seat in front of her. 

Seth's P.O.V

Seth had thrown up three times on that flight in total. He was incredibly embarrassed. He usually didn't get motion sick. But he reminded himself that it was brought on by his worry for Leila. Who was just his friend. He was relieved when he heard the flight would be over inn an hour. But then remembered that they had another flight to catch after this one. It had been a 13 hour flight. The next one was 5 hours. With a 1 hour layover. Then they would finally be at the hotel.

Seth's head swayed slightly when he realised he's have to tell Leila about his dreams. And his imprint! On her. He bit the inside of his cheek nervously. He was so afraid she wouldn't like him in that way. Because if she didn't love him too he would have to just try ignore all his feelings of love and be just her friend. It would be dreadful. He tried not to think about it anymore.

Leila's P.O.V

The hour passed fairly quickly which she was grateful for. She opened the window and watched as they came in to land. It was the afternoon and the sun was just starting to set. She smiled. It was beautiful. She turned and looked at Seth. He still looked just as bad as before. She reached out and took his hand gently. He looked at her. His eyes were teary. Leila smiled at Seth and squeezed his hand. She looked back out the window. They were nearly there. To wherever they were taking her. Just another short flight and a drive and they'd be there.
