NORMAL POV
"Right guys, the plane is ready for you" Kelly looks up from her phone.
"Kelly, how long will this flight take?" Logan asks.
"Do we get parachutes?" Carlos excitedly asks.
"Are you sure it's ok for Katie to come with us?" Kendall looks from Katie to her.
"Is the flight attendant pretty?" James says casually running his fingers through his hair.
"Flight takes just under an hour, Logan"
"No parachutes Carlos, you won't need them"
"Kendall, it's cleared with you mom for Katie to fly with you guys, as she's still with your grandma and didn't want Katie alone" Kelly says ignoring Katie's frown.
"James there are no flight staff on the plane, just you guys and the pilot"
"What? What if he gets sick? Who'll take over?" James asks her seriously.
"And we'll have no parachutes" Carlos adds
"Guys, it's a single pilot plane so it needs one pilot. Now it's waiting for you so go and behave. Gustavo and myself will be with you in a couple of hours once we are finished with the Babyface recordings"
"I wanna a parachute" Carlos whines.
"Carlos if the plane is going down a parachute won't do you any good" Logan tells him as he picks up his bag and walks towards the plane.
"Arghhh" Carlos shrieks, grabbing Kendall's arm.
"Logan!" Kendall glares at him as he follows closely behind Logan, pulling Carlos with him "Logan! Logan! You this" he says pointing to Carlos clutching his arm "you can deal with it" prizing Carlos fingers away from him and attaching them to Logan.
"Logie, I'm too young to die" Carlos tells him.
"And I'm too pretty" James shouts to them and turns to Katie "Do you want me to carry your bag?"
"It's ok, I got it" Katie smiles at him before continuing "Buddy Holly died young and it didn't do his career any harm and as for being pretty that didn't save James Dean, JFK Jr or Marc Bolan" leaving James in her wake she strides towards the plane steps being glared at by Carlos, James and Kendall.
"Katie don't be mean to them" Kendall says as he follows her on to the plane.
"Logie" Carlos whispers "You'll make sure I won't die, won't you"
"Yes Carlos" Logan pats his arm "Come on, let's find seats together"
"Logan, who are the people Katie mentioned?" James asks him as he follows him up the stairs.
"Marc Bolan was the lead singer with the band T Rex he died in a car crash and James Dean was an actor he also died in a car crash" Logan pauses.
"And the other two?" James prompts.
"JFK Jr was President Kennedy's son and Buddy Holly was a singer in the 1950's"
"How did they die?" James looks at him expectantly.
"Plane crashes" Logan mumbles as he puts his bag in the over head locker and takes the seat next to Carlos.
"Sorry, what did you say I didn't catch that" James says as he closes his safety belt around his waist.
"Plane crashes" Logan says through gritted teeth.
"Oh" James bites his lip and turns to Katie sitting beside him "Did you know that's how they died?"
"Of course, why else would I use them as examples" she says smiling and looking please with herself.
James glances up to see Carlos, who is not usually a nervous flyer holding on to Logan's hand tightly "L-L-L-Logie"
"Look what you started Katie" Logan glares are her.
"Carlos" she says calming turning to the now pale boy "The weather when their planes crashed was really bad, Buddy Holly's was in a snow storm and JFK Jr's was in fog and he was a pilot that long. And as you can see the weather is perfect today and I'm sure the pilot has loads of experience. So stop worrying and let go of Logan's hand unless you're holding it for another reason" she smirks raising her eyebrow at him.
Carlos quickly let go of Logan's hand "I-I-I was just holding it cause I was nervous"
"Of course you were" with that James and Kendall start to giggle.
"Good Afternoon Gentlemen and Lady" a voice says from the front of the plane "the ground crew will just close the doors and then we'll be on our way. My name is Kevin Jones and I'm your pilot for this trip. Now as with any other flight I will quickly go over the safe procedures before we get on our way. Firstly the exits, one is the door you used to enter the aircraft and the second is here in the cockpit. If there is any need for an emergency landing, you will need to take the brace position, which means placing you hands at the back on your head, tucking your elbows in and lean forward until your chest hits your knees. That's it really, the flight is should take about 45 minutes, so buckle up and we'll be on our way"
"Tower, this is 445 Bravo Tango Romeo requesting premission to take off" a crackling sound comes from his head phones and the plane begins to move.
Logan takes out his Kindle and begins to read, Kendall is listening to his ipod, Carlos and James start playing cards while Katie looks out the window as the plane leaves the ground and begins to climb. After about 25 minutes sitting on the plane, the passageners hear a loud bang. Carlos instant jumps and grabs Logan's hand.
"What was that?" Kendall looks at Logan and then out the window.
"I've no idea" Logan looks back at him trying not to show his concern on his face, just in case Carlos sees it.
"Katie, can you see anything outside?" James asks her.
"Oh, there's smoke" she whispers.
"There's what?!" Carlos shouts.
"Guys" the voice comes from the cockpit "something seems to had hit us and I'm losing power. We are going to have to make an emergency landing, so please get into the brace position"
"Oh god we are going to die, we're going to die" Carlos repeats again and again and again.
"We are not going to die, it's an emergency landing not a crash landing. Now you need to let go of my hand and get into the brace position like the pilot says"
"I'm scared Logan"
"I know you are Carlos but we'll be ok"
"You promise"
"I promise"
Katie is still sitting up looking out the window, watching the ground coming closer and closer.
"Katie!Katie" James tries to get her attention "Katie, please get into the brace position, please"
"Huh?" she turns in a daze towards him.
"Brace Katie, you need to brace" James grabs her and pulls her to him "Please Katie"
This seems to snap her out of her trance and she quickly bends down, just as the plane hits the ground. James whispers, barely loud enough for her to hear, on impact "I love you"
