Here is the first fan-fiction that I have ever uploaded, I've had this on my computer for a while, and if people like it I promise that I will right more =)
I do not own NCIS or any of it's characters
I glance at the screen showing my flight information it says: that my boarding time is 10 o'clock; that my destination is Washington DC, and that my flight number is 8343. It also says I have an hour left. I turn back to my Mum, we know that it is time for goodbyes, but neither of us wants to start; we stand there awkwardly as we sum up the courage to speak. My mouth goes dry as I think of words, but none of them truly express my feelings. Mum starts to speak; her voice is all croaky because she is holding in tears.
"Now you call us when you get there sweetheart, I don't care if you call us at midnight, just call okay." She manages to say.
"I will Mum, I promise." I reply in a whisper "I love you so much Mum."
"I will always love you more, sweetheart, just remember that." Mum says with teary eyes. I take a deep breath and lunge into deep longing hug, but then it is over, and I am left feeling cold, knowing that I have to walk away. I quickly glance back, and when my eyes clasp on to my mother I know that I should have kept walking. Tears well up in my eyes as I see her standing alone on the marble floor, her eyes are brimming with tears. Trying to stop myself from running back into her arms, my eyes drift to the glass wall behind her, the warm summer sun is boldly shining in, I see the bright flowers and the glossy trees and I know that this is goodbye.
I walk swiftly to the Security Check with tears overflowing my eyes. A man operating one of the metal detectors asks me if I am alright. I simply reply
"Mums"
The man nods as if he completely understands my feelings, but he doesn't. I am being flown away to live with my dad, who I don't know, to live a new life which I don't want. The man quickly checks my belongings to make sure there are no sharp objects or anything, and then hands my rucksack back to me, and tells me that I can now go through to the shopping area and wait there until it is necessary. So I walk towards the shopping area, To my surprise I can smell the sweet sent of freshly baked cakes and the strong sent of coffee after taking a few steps through the door, I walk around for awhile browsing in the shops and before I know it, it is time to go to the boarding gate, as I reach the gate I am suddenly filled with dread and excitement. A woman in a neat blue dress asks me for my boarding pass and checks my Passport. I pass them to her and she checks them both, tears the end off my boarding pass, and returns them to me, just like they do in the movies, only this time it's real.
Butterflies start to swirl in my stomach as I walk down the stairs. As I reach the bottom I am surprised to find a small bus taking the passengers to the plane. I cautiously board and the doors suddenly shut behind me, I jump out of shock and a man in a navy suit quietly lets out a laugh. I can feel my face turning red out of embracement, as I try and find somewhere to stand which is not close to the man.
When the bus finally stops, I am surprised to find a small white plane waiting for us. The butterflies swarm as I step off the bus and walk quickly towards the plane. I walk too quickly up the steps and nearly fall flat on my face, the man laughs again, so I scowl at him which makes him laugh more. Another kind woman in a blue suit escorts me to my seat, after looking at my ticket. She tells me that the plane will be taking off shortly, and once we are in the air refreshments will be sold. A few minutes later the airhostess gives a safety announcement in a couple of different languages, and I do my seat belt up as she instructs us to, the rest of the announcement was a bore, but I listened anyway, she also informs us that we can listen to music by plugging head phones into the arm rest, but she advises that we listen to music after we are in the air.
Half an hour later we were soaring through the sky above the clouds, with the blue sea beneath us. Every so often there was a little bit of turbulence but the airhostess assured us all that we are safe and that the only reason we felt it is because we are flying in a small plane. As time passes I start to notice little ships in the sea, which remind me of when I played battleship with friends. My Mum preferred me to play with dolls but they got a bit tedious after a while. Another thing that I think of is that we are getting closer to land, and my new future. When I think of what my future now holds, my mind goes blank, but, I hope my father will like me for who I am, not the child he never knew existed, and that life in America will not be that difficult, especially when you don't really know anyone.
I have been watching my suitcase go round and round the conveyer belt for a couple of minutes now but I can't bring myself to pull it off, because pulling it off means I am one step closer to meeting someone who did not even know of my existence till a few months ago. I decide to let it circle a few times more just to pass the time. After five minutes I know that I have to pick it up and meet my father. It takes shorter than I thought to reach the exit but the problem for me is walking through the doors. I use the breathing exercise Mum taught me to try and relax, I walk through the door and there he is waiting for me all alone sitting on a bench.
"Rebecca?" he asks, in a foreign voice. I can see immediately the similarities in our appearances; we both have the same mossy brown hair and hazel eyes, and I'm curious about where the similarities end. After a few minutes of just standing there I realise I still haven't spoken. As I start to speak my mouth becomes ridiculously dry, and refuses to form words, so in the end I just nod.
Please review, even if you hated it =)
