SOMEONE IS WATCHING

Song: Till I Can Make It On My Own -Billy Gillman
Jasper sat starring at the arrivals and departures board in the airport. He still had an hour at least to get to his gate. He was going home to see his family His three brothers and his only sister and most of his mom. He hadn't seen his family in eight years mainly because he lived out of state and his health hadn't allowed him to leave since his oldest nieces wedding eight years ago.
His siblings all had kids. Rosalie his one and only sister had five; two girls and three boys. Their names were Mike, Jessica (from a fling 23 years ago), Jared, Sam and Collin (from another her dead beat ex-husband Royce). She was also married to a man name Emmet. Who I have yet to meet because he wasn't able to go to Jessica's wedding. My brother Edward and his wife Alice have three kids Claire, Angela, Tyler. My last brother Peter and his wife Charlotte have one biological child together and she has two kids of her own from previous relationships. Their names Jacob (biological), Renee and Marcus (step).
The reason why I was going to see my family now is because I was in an accident a little over a year ago just two days before my nephew Collin's high school graduation.
I was riding my Harley down a side road to avoid the traffic on the main streets and roads. I was about thirty feet away from an intersection when a woman in a brown Toyota Civic cut me off.
I shook the memory off as I made my way to the gate. It wasn't hard. I took a seat and waited until they deemed it time for us to board the plane. I knew when someone sat beside me even thought I wasn't looking and had my eyes covered. The next thing I knew was another flashback of my accident.
I over corrected and lost control of the bike I also realized if I kept going that I was a.) Going to run into a sporting goods store or b.) Run into the back of a semi tractor trailer parked on the side of the road. So to avoid causing any unnecessary damage I made the move to lay my bike down.
I must have fallen asleep because I was being shaken awake by a small.
"Hi I'm Bella Swan the plane is boarding now." The girl standing in front of me said. "If you show me your ticket I could help you get to your seat."
I showed her my ticket.
"Oh that will be easy b thirty four. I'm in b thirty five."
I got up and followed the girl with my carry on willingly. Our seats were toward the middle of the plane. She had the window seat I had the one next to her. I helped her put her carry on in first and in the baggage holder first be for putting my own up. I sat down buckled myself in and settled in for the plane ride as another flashback hit me.
When I laid my bike down it skidded across the road to the other side. Even with my helmet on my head slammed into the concrete curb hard. I know I at least cracked my skull and broke my jaw. Not to mention the road rash I had received on my arms and legs and the unknown damage done to my back.
I learned later that I had legally died on the way to the hospital and once again in the Emergency room. I had water on my lungs that they couldn't relive because I was too critical.
My mom later told me that she had everyone at their church praying for me and that it was the day after she started the prayer chair or tree (I'm not sure what she called it) the fluid or water on my lungs had disappeared and didn't reappear anywhere else in my body after that. After the fluids disappeared from my lungs I got better at a slow and steady pace but it took me months to even walk a short distance by myself.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked at Bella. She pointed to the aisle.
"Do you want anything to drink Mr. Whitlock?" the stewardess asked.
"Just water." I replied.
"Are you okay you look like you are in a lot of pain?"
"That would be because I am." I replied.
"Do you need any aspirin or ibuprofen?" she asked.
"No. I'll be fine. I have medication I just didn't want the security people thinking that was smuggling them." I replied "So it was easier to leave them at home."
"And that is?"
"Texas. What about you?"
"Florida." She said. "I'm going to help my dad with a close friend's death in La Push Washington."
"That's like right by where I am going to in Forks."
"That's where my dad lives buy all his friends live on the Rez." She replied. "If you don't mind my asking why are you headed to forks when you are in pain?"
"I am going to surprise my mom. I haven't seen her or the rest of my family in eight years."
"Eight years that's a long time to go without seeing your family." She commented.
"My health and job have kept me away. The last time I saw them my oldest niece was just getting married and the second oldest just had her first child and now I have six in all."
"Nieces and nephews or great nieces and nephews?"
"Great." I replied.
"You are kind of young to have nieces and nephews let alone great nieces and nephews." She said.
"That's because I was born a year before my dad died and Peter is ten years older than me. I was a surprised to them both. I am also a year older than Jessica."
"Well life can give you the biggest surprises when you least expect them." She said as the announcement that our plane was ready to land was made.
I had exited the plane when Bella stopped me.
"My Email for if you ever need to talk."
I took the slip of paper from her. I ripped a corner of it off and quickly wrote mine down and gave it to her. I then turned and walked toward my family who was waiting for me. From that moment on I always knew someone was watching out for me.
