Elevator - w2s

-20-

I woke up by my alarm and woke Harry up. I got in the shower and dried my hair and straightened it. I did my makeup and got dressed, waiting for the straighteners to cool down. Once they were cool, I put them in my suitcase and grabbed my pills from the kitchen and put them in my pocket. "Harry, are you ready?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm here," he said walking through the door. I booked an Uber to the airport and we quickly checked we had plane tickets and passports. We did so we walked to the lift to get to the bottom floor. After waiting for a couple of seconds, the lift came and we walked outside and into the Uber. I got my AirPods out and put one in my ear and began listening to music. My knee was bouncing up and down so Harry grabbed my hand and began to draw circles on it. "It's going to be alright," he said.

I nodded and squeezed his hand. After a quick drive, we reached the airport. We got out of the Uber and got our suitcases out of the boot. We began to go through security. I got a bit stressed so Harry had to calm me down a bit but we eventually made it through. "That was eventful," he said.

"Eventful to say the least," I laughed. We decided to go to the cafe and get some food. After eating, we went to the duty free. "Ooh, snacks," I said walking over to the snacks.

"You're cute," he said.

"We are getting snacks to distract me," I said and he nodded. We got loads of chocolate and crisps and drinks and walked to the till.

"Going on a long flight?" The till person asked.

"Uh, kind of," Harry said.

"It's going to seem long," I laughed out of nerves.

"Not a fan of flying," she said and I violently shook my head. "It's not going to crash,"

"That's what everyone says before a flight that crashes," I said and they both laughed at me. "Well Nice speaking to you and thank you for food,"

"Enjoy your flight," she said.

"I'll try," I said as we walked away and to the terminal. We were the first ones there so we were at the front of the line. After about 5 minutes, they began letting people on. We went straight to our seats and got buckled in. I was constantly looking out of the window. I was sweating and shaking. My breath was shaky and tears filled my eyes.

"Lex," Harry said. I looked at him. "It's going to be okay," he said and I took a deep breath and nodded.

"Calm down it's just a stupid flight," I began to tell myself. He nodded with an uncertain look on his face. A teenage girl was sat next to Harry. She didn't seem to recognise him so that was good for him.

A voice came though the speakers making me jump. Harry just laughed at me. "It's not funny," I laughed. I felt movement and looked out of the window to see us now moving and getting onto the runway. I looked at Harry and he was looking at me. He nodded and I nodded back. I began to squeeze his hand a bit.

We began to set off. The speed went really fast and so did my heart rate. Harry was comforting me the entire time. Once we got up in the air, it was pretty steady until we experience what the air attendant described as "turbulence" to me it was wind.

After a painful two more hours, we had landed, people began clapping, I looked at Harry confused. He just laughed. We let most people get off before us until we made sure we had everything and got off ourselves. Harry called a taxi and we had about an hour drive.

"See the plane wasn't that bad," Harry said. I gave him a death look.

"That was the worst flight I have ever endured," I said.

"Oh look at you with the fancy words," he said.

"I know, it's almost like I got A* at GCSE in English," I laughed.
