(Willows POV)
"Willow do you really need all these hats?" Tara asked me, holding up a dozen hats, which looked exactly the same... apart from the fact they were all different colours.
I laughed, "Of course I do! I need these, desperately"
Tara shook her head, "Do you need all these sunglasses, I mean you've lost pairs of sunglasses before but you're not gonna lose twelve of them"
I got off sitting on my suitcase and grabbed three pairs of glasses.
"That better?" I asked her.
She shrugged and grabbed her suitcase.
"We're gonna miss the flight if we don't go now" She sighed.
I shook my head, "If we go now we have an hour wait"
She walked out of my room and I finished zipping up my suitcase, which was full to the brim of clothes, hats, extra sunglasses, sun-cream, bikini's... everything you would need on a holiday. Well, especially if you were going to Florida for four weeks.
Although it seemed stupid to leave England now, we were having the best heat wave on record, it hadn't rained since the end of May. It was boiling hot, almost like the Sahara desert.
But not quite.
"Willow! Come on!" Shouted Zara up the stairs.
"I'm coming!" I shouted back. It would be weird, going on Holiday with no parents, Just Zara, Becky, Tara... Our Godmother, who was only 4 years older than me, and very cool, she'd promised to take us to see her friends and go to parties and thing's in America, it was great that this was finally happening, I'd never been to America before.
And I wouldn't at this rate if I didn't hurry.
"Willow come on we've got two cabs outside, waiting for us!" Shouted our Godmother, Alexa, who worked at the Ministry of Magic... who was going on a very long un-paid leave.
"Ok! Ok!" I shouted, I took off my jacket, I wasn't gonna need anything like this, not here or America. I was wearing my White Mini-skirt and a small pink... yet tasteful summer top, plus trainers for that kind of funky look to it, But I would definitely put on my stiletto heels by the time we got out of the car. Although I was going to need my Jeans and Trainers at this rate, we were going to have to run through the airport.
I placed my Suitcase in the back of the cab and sat next to Alexa and Becky.
"Where is your jacket?" Alexa asked me.
I shook my head, "I'm not gonna need one"
"You're insane, it can get cold in America" Becky said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, that coming from the one that packed three jumpers"
Alexa looked at me sternly.
"Fine" She turned to the driver, "Heathrow Airport, please"
The driver turned around, "Are you crazy?"
"No but I'll pay you one hundred dollars" Alex looked for her purse.
"We use Pounds here Alexa," I said. The driver started to drive and the other cab followed us.
Slowly through the journey I was getting more and more worried, From everywhere I could see there were traffic jams facing the direction we wanted to go. It seemed like everyone was going to Heathrow.
After a while it had become too much, like a lot of people around us I got out of the car and went to Tara and Zara's car, they were messing around with Tara's mobile phone. I knocked on the window, they turned to me and opened the window.
"Hey Will, boring traffic jam isn't it?" Zara asked me cheerfully.
Tara looked annoyed, "We're gonna miss our flight you know"
I shook my head.
"Look, I can see people moving in front of us, we're gonna be ok"
We all got out the car to see the police coming through to the front of the queues... there had been an accident.
"Aw crap" Zara sighed and turned to her phone, she dialled in a number and put the phone to her ear and started to talk, obviously to one of her friends.
Tara and I took a little walk around the car's, talking, and came back about half an hour later to find that we hadn't moved, I saw Alexa come toward us.
"Girl's, we're going to be very late, it looks like we'll have to catch the next flight," She said.
Me and Tara looked at each other, "When's that?"
Alexa looked at us, "Well, In about five hours"
My face dropped, "That's at Six o'clock?!?"
Tara raised her eyebrows.
"This is all your fault Willow" She said angrily.
"Yeah it is" I admitted, "I'm sorry you guys"
Zara appeared from behind the cab, "You should be"
I sat with Alexa, Tara, Becky and Zara on the boot of the first car.
"Zara did you bring your Walkman?" Becky asked.
Zara nodded, "Yeah, it's in the car though"
"Oh... did you bring your Hip Hop album?"
Zara shook her head.
"I don't think so" She laughed, "It's well boring"
Becky looked upset, "I love that album, I wish I could buy it off you"
Zara sneered "You wouldn't have enough money"
There was a pause.
"Wow this is great, huh?" I broke the silence, "We could get tans and pretend we've been to America"
"Yeah, or we could just be on the plane now and be going to America" Tara shot at me, I nodded.
"I deserved that" I sighed, "But in my defence th-"
I was stopped by screams and the unmistakable sound of a car alarm somewhere in front of us, I could see a mild wave of panicked people running back to their cars.
"What's the bet that we're gonna be moving somewhere now?"
Half the people that were passengers were out of their cars and looking into the distance, trying to find something that was wrong, there was nothing. But then another scream came from the distance, actually many screams came from the distance.
"Ok, that can't be good" Becky looked into the distance.
Then without a warning some kind of whooshing sound came down and there was a huge smash, glass went everywhere, there were screams now... lot's of them, and I had to admit one of them was mine.
