I'm at the Sydney airport waiting in line with my mother, who's traveling with me to Los Angeles, California. She had some business to take care of there. While I'm on my way to visit my father. I was getting very annoyed with my mother, and I was excited when the clock hit another minute. My mother and I don't get along very well. Ever since she left my father for a new job here in Sydney, she made me go with her too. Made me start a whole new life.
I can't wait to see him again. It`s been a couple years since I graduated from high school. But I`m not in college, just yet. I would like to join the U.S Army soon. My brother is in the Army, and so was my dad, and grandfather. The reason why I haven't joined yet was because, my mother made me stay here, to run her business with her. That's also why I haven't seen my father in a while.
We now have stood in the line in the exact same spot over the past fifteen minutes, because the guy in front of us is yelling something about his dead father, or something like that. I can`t really make it out. Finally he leaves and there are now two other people in front of us. A middle-aged guy, and a Korean, couple. They gotten their tickets with a little difficultly, because they did not speak English. It was my mother and I`s turn. We got our pass ports out, and had gotten our tickets as well.
We got to the gate and the person asked for our tickets and welcomed us on "Oceanic Flight 815." I thought that was a weird name for a plane, but whatever. My mother gave the tickets to the woman at the door of the plane, she pointed to our seats. We both thanked her, and went on our way. When we were passing by other people, I notice the guy who was yelling at the front desk person. He still seemed pretty upset about what ever happened. Then I notice a bald guy, and he saw me looking at him, and he smiled at me, and I smiled back. We sat in the middle section of the plane. A couple of rows back from the guy, who was yelling.
Before we took off, a fat guy came running on the plane, and he had curly hair, he was sweaty, probably from running. Then the pilot came over the intercom.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen on "Oceanic Flight 815," it`s going to be a long flight, so please sit back and relax, but first give your full attention to the flight attendance." The pilot said.
"Hi, if you would give your full attention to us please, were going to give instructions if anything happens to the plane. If you see the please buckle seat belt sign blink on, please do so. Second, if the air masks pops up from above you. Just reach for that and make sure you put that around you nose and mouth. That is all, if you need anything, just push the call button above your seat, and we will come to you whenever we can. Thank you enjoy flight, and have a nice ride." The Flight Attendance told us.
After they gave us our instructions, I heard a "ding" sound and I looked up seeing that it was the "put on the seat belt sign lit up," and my mom told me to put it on. So I did. A couple of rows in front of me I saw a man looking a women in a picture he was holding. Of course I did not know why he was looking at the women in the photo, but I was still curious. I went back to what I was going to do, I got my IPod out of my bag I brought on the plane with me, and put on my headphones, and started to listen to Driveshaft`s one hit wonder called, "We Are Everybody." That is my favorite band. I don`t know how long it`s been since we took off, but then the pilot unexpectedly, started to talk again.
"Sorry for the interruption folks, we have been off course for a couple of hours now, we will have to turn back around, and try to get back with radio tower and see if they can help us. So try to relax, and sorry for the delay." The pilot told everyone.
I was really excited to go see my dad, but now I would have to wait for another day because, the pilot got off course. Oh well. I went back to my music, and grab my pillow and started to go to sleep, when all of a sudden, the plane started to shake. The light that said to put your seat belts on went on again. I had gotten a little worried, and it seemed like my mother did too. We both quickly got our seat belts on, there were a few more bumps. Then out of know where, the air masks came out. I look at my mother who told me to put it on.
As soon as I did, the plane started to shake again. Then I could see the clouds, it was as clear as day outside. Then it started to get windy, that was the last thing I felt before I blacked out.
