A/N: First Red Eye fanfic. I hope you all like it. I am going to stay as true to the movie as possible. Rating may change as more chapters come.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with the movie Red Eye. Not the characters, plot, nothing.
Lisa POV
It's been a year. This was the day that I finally felt free. Free of being scared that Jackson would show up out of know where. Free of the pity my friends and family felt. Free of the fear of being defenseless. I know that I did well against Jackson that day. I also know that it was all luck. While I was smart, I also know that he hadn't been expecting anything like the fight I gave him to come from me. I surprised myself.
I knew he had been shot. Hell, my dad had shot him a few times. I saw him close his eyes. He was dead and I had been relieved. As I hugged my dad though, I thought back to the last 6 hours. The first 1.5hours had been so nice. Jackson had been nice, sweet, polite, witty, but always seemed a little dangerous. Thinking back I realized how much of an understatement that was.
I remember freaking out after I hugged my dad though. Not because of what had happened but because when we had both looked up, Jackson had been gone. When the police had gotten to our house, and examined the scene, they said that the blood from the bullet wounds was only imitation blood. The kind of blood used in movies. That means he's still out there.
I had spent the first few weeks, away from work, and staying at my dad's house. We both stayed home most of the time. This was the time I was most thankful for a great relationship with my dad. I no longer get upset when he asks if I'm sure I'm okay. The next few months I took self-defense classes. I didn't want to go through anything like what happened 3years ago in the parking lot or what happened on the plane.
Today was the day that my self-defense classes end. I've taken 3 classes a month for 10 months. I felt comfortable with my abilities. I felt that confident. I felt that I could take on anyone. It wouldn't be for a few months before I realized how wrong I was.
Please read and review. I know it is short. I'm just feeling it out right now.
