As Skye Alton stood in the middle of Heathrow Airport, London waiting for her flight to California to start her new life, she thought about all the thing that had led to this dayand what was to come when she go to Los Angeles, California before she knew it she was at the boarding doors and stepping onto the plane. At 20 yearsof age she thought she would beinher second year ofuniversity studying dramatic theatre but instead she was on a plane to see her fate. This could go one or two was, the first he would be happy to see her and tell her that everything was going to be ok that they could do this together or the totally opposite and tell her to piss off.
DeclanFitzwilliam VanderWaltzmybestfriend,I had known him since I was 13 years old. Hewas in London on vacation with he's family, when webumped into each other in Hyde park where we started talking afterthat Idon't know how but we became the closest of a very different lifestyle thenididhisparents were rich like 3 generation of VanDerWaltz not needing to work if they wanted to kind of rich, me on the other hand my parents worked for every penny they had my mother was a surgical doctor and my father was a barrister so you can imaginehow disappointed they were when I told them I wanted to go to university to do film I relationship change the older we got we developed feeling foreach other but we knew it would never work because we live on opposite sides of the world but every time he visited we would end up acting like we were in a relationship we basically slept with each other every chance we got.
The last time Isaw him was threemonths ago and yes we slept together whichbrings me to the main reason I'm on this plane, I foundout that I was pregnant andif I wasn't a disappointment to my parents beforeIdefinitelyam now. As a child of very successful black parents I defiantly wasn't supposed to get pregnant like this, I was supposed to go to university and get a 1st class then get an amazing job then find someone to get married to them have a child but apparently I don't work like that.
I wasn'tstupid;I didn't just pick up my things and decided I was going tomove and knock on his door, when I found out I was pregnant I knew I would have to changes and I also knew that I could never keep his child from him even if he doesn't want to be part of my child life I have to make sure I tried. When I decided to make the move Istarted applying for jobs and lucky got a job in a production companywho were kind enough to give me full benefits meaningI would get a car, apartment and even health care. I had to tell them that I was pregnant which they were completely fine with so that made things a little easier now all I had to do is figure out how I was going to tell him.
Beforeshe knew it the plane had come to a halt and all the other passengers were heading towards the doors where various flight attendants were saying "Hope you had an enjoyable flight" with smiles plasteredon their faceslike they had no worries.
I know the structure of this chapter is all over the place but I intensely did that to signify the fact that her emotions are also all over the place. Tell me what you like and what you think I should work on Like, Vote and Comment.
