Is there any other Direction?

Holidays

OKAY SO I JUST NEED TO TELL YOU I WAS LIKE THIRTEEN WHEN I WROTE THIS AND CRAP IT'S PRETTY BAD. I THINK IT IMPROVES LATER ON BUT READ IT ANYWAY, AND wow okay don't mind my thirteen-year-old opinions of One Direction I mean wow oh my oh I was such a steriotypist. 

Do read it though, and I'll probably get around to editing it at some point... or continuing it... anyway, read on!

"Maddie, hurry up, we're gonna be late," my thirteen-year-old brother Noah called.

"I'm coming," I shouted back. Today my mum, dad, brother and I are leaving for a two month trip to Bali, in Indonesia. We first went about two years back and as we had so much fun we decided to go again, but for longer. I hurried up to my family with my luggage trailing behind me, just as they gave them to be weighed.

"Thank goodness you're here, Madeline," my mum said, where on earth did you go?"

I thought back to what I had been doing at the time and said casually, "Oh, I found Cotton On and window shopped for a few minutes."

"And you couldn't have done that some other time?" she said incredulously, "I mean, we are running late for our flight and if we miss it it will mess everything up for two months."

I smiled sheepishly and just replied, "Sorry mum, got caught up in the moment." She turned away to talk to my dad just as we were handed our small luggage back. We quickly hurried off to look at the board to find Adelaide 7:00 am to Bali 3:00 in section A21. I reached into my black sort-of-skinny jeans to find my iPod to check the time. Oh fluff, it was 6:45 already! My mum had a quick peek at my iPod before I put it away and gave a strangled sort of yelp. She ran ahead to catch up to dad and Noah whilst I struggled to keep up with my heavy bag. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the back of her head and I followed her to the gate for departures.

I saw her pass her ticket to the lady and board the plane, but I couldn't see my dad or brother. Oh well, I thought, they probably already have boarded. I looked up to find that I was the last person to board the plane and as i went to give the ticket lady my ticket I accidentally tripped over a chair leg and me, my ticket, the lady and the pile of tickets went tumbling down.

I quickly apologised and she grumbled a "Thats ok," before I realised that my ticket had landed in the big pile of them. She realised that it would take a while to find it so she sent me on my way, onto my plane. As I boarded I had a sneaking suspicion that someothingn wasn't right but I disregared it as nerves and looked around t find a spare seat. I noticed that I hadn't seen my family but dismissed that thought as well as I probably just missed them. I settled into my window seat and turned off my phone, ignoring the flight attendents as they explained all the emergency procedures.

I closed my eyes and drifted into some well earned sleep.

BAM! I jolted awake to find that it had just been the sound from the movie that the person in front of me was watching. I sighed in relief and turned to look out the window. It was dark outside. Wait, what! Why was it dark outside, It's only an eight hour trip, we landed at three! I checked my Ipod for the time and saw that it was 10:00 pm. I started to get a bit worried so I called over a flight attendent.

"Hello ma'am, what can I do for you?" she smiled.

"Uum, why havn't we landed yet?" I asked.

"It takes around 21 hours to get to London," she said, "we still have around eight hours before we land." I stared at her in shock, the only thing regestering in my mind was the word London. I mean wasn't I supposed to be flying to Bali? Oh my gosh, mum and dad must be worried out of their minds! "Is everything alrght miss?" I heard.

"Oh yes, umm, I'm fine," I replied, still in a daze. As I watched her walk away I checked my phone to find that I had 12 missed calls and about 23 texts! Oh great, juust great. I'm on my way to London with no money, nowhere to stay, and no family. Juust great.

I closed my eyes and drifted off into a short and troubled sleep.
