MAC'S POV

I walked over to the passport control and showed it to the attendant. Today my flight to Australia left, I was going to meet a lot of Harmonators during the next days. When my thoughts strayed I felt my mother pulling me on my arm and she mumbled something about missing the plane and then I came back to reality.

Suddenly there was a voice speaking through the speakers: "All the passengers boarding flight AU4579 to Sydney are asked to go to the airplane which will depart in five minutes."

My mom and me rushed to the gate that led to the plane and we showed our ticket to the attendant. I checked my ticket for my seatnumber and sat down next to my mother, who was sitting next to the window. The seat on my other side was empty until a girl with brown hair and blue eyes sat down.

"Oh my gosh, you're Mac Harmon!" she squealed. 

I nodded and smiled. "Obviously I am." 

"I'm such a big fan of you! You're like so cute!" she screamed and all the other passengers looked at her in annoyance.

"Thanks." I said and I plugged my earphones in. When I was about to play some Justin Bieber music she started talking again.

"Can I take a picture with you?" she asked with a big smile on her face. I couldn't just say no so i nodded and she took her phone. After five pictures she finally stopped and I quickly started to listen to my music on the highest volume level available. When we were flying above the clouds the music started to fade away as I fell asleep. 

I woke up to the sound of a phone making pictures. When I looked at the girl next to me I saw that she was taking them. Gosh this girl was becoming really annoying. 

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just needed some pictures to post on all of my social networks. Don't freak out if you see a picture on which you sleep, I've taken that. You don't mind do you?" I shook my head and she started to talk about herself. "I'm flying to Australia to meet my parents, I've never met them, I'm adopted. I hope they don't think I'm annoying, people say I am. What do you think? Am I?"

Gosh she was annoying but I couldn't say that so I just shook my head. "No you're not." Finally she stopped annoying me and before I knew it I was falling back to sleep.

After a few hours the airplane started shaking like there was an earthquake. A voice was saying that we needed to stay calm and attach our seatbelts. I was shocked when I saw my mom was crying. We didn't now what was happening. Flight attendants started handing out life jackets. I took two and passed one to my mom. "You know I love you Mac, we are not going to die. I promise that."  But I could hear the doubt in her voice. My mom was scared, you could see it in her eyes so I hugged her tight and we both closed our eyes, wishing for the best.

"We have a very important message from the captain. I'm sorry to tell this, but the aircraft is going to crash in the sea. If the captain sees any land we can land on, he will. Everyone put on your life jackets and stay calm." The attendant spoke.

I opened my eyes and looked out of the window, I saw an island, we were flying towards it. We were flying about 400 feet above the ocean, still on a high speed. Without thinking I grabbed my mothers arm and pulled her to the other side of the plane. I could clearly see that the plane would crash on the side we were sitting, so we were more safe on the other. The plane started to turn and soon we were almost upside down, me and my mother were both holding on to a seat while almost everyone else was just hanging upside down. I saw the phone of the annoying girl fall down and it shattered to pieces, bye embarassing pictures. My mother tried to hug me, so she let go of the seat she was holding. "Mom don't!" I screamed, but she was already hanging upside down. I looked out of the window and I saw we were really close to hitting the ground. As I thought that I heard the wing of the plane break and felt something hard on my head, which immediately made me unconsious.
