This is a direct continuation of texan teardrops, so reading that story first is beneficial; but important parts of that story will be reminded to the reader in this one, so it's not necessary to of read it.

Unlike texan teardrops which had one main character, this story unfortunately has had to be split in to different point of views.

So here we have...


Lola's story:

I twisted my foot around in its socket as I sat in my seat on the plane.

It was almost a 13 hour flight to our holiday destination, we were just reaching half way. I looked over to Logan who was dozing off to sleep. I rested my head on his shoulder.

"You okay lols?" Logan mumbled to me as he turned his sleepy head.

"Yeah, my foot has gone dead that's all." I whispered back in to his ear.

"You should try and get some sleep." He said looking over to Sheri who slept cuddled up in to Kendalls arms opposite us, across the aisle.

I knew logan loved her so much more than me. I wasn't even one hundred percent sure he even loved me at all... he said he did.

"I've tried, I just can't get settled in these seats." I replied with a jerk as we hit some turbulence.

Logan kissed my head and folded me in to his arms. He was bored of the long flight. He had been bored with it after only a couple of hours. He occupied most of his time on board the plane glancing at Sheri.

He seemed genuinely relieved when Kendall showed up for the holiday after the problems him and Sheri had come across. But at the same time I think he was looking forward to staying behind in LA with her if Kendall didn't show up too.

Another huge jolt came to the plane which woke up Mackenzie and Carlos. Carlos was now looking out of his window seat in front of us. I doubt he could even see anything it was almost 1am and pitch black. Not even the clouds were visible.

I looked at the seats in front of Sheri and Kendall. Safia was awake and looking incredibly nervous of the turbulence, James was whispering sweet nothings in to her ear.

Another jolt of turbulence came, this time it made one of the wings dip right down, making the plane roll to one side.

I heard a couple of women scream this time, the nerves getting to everyone.

The seat belt signs then came on.

"Shit I can't stand this." Logan said looking a bit panicky himself.

"It will be fine baby... do your buckle up though. I don't want you to hit your-"

The plane then began to nose dive down, I got sucked in to my seat.

Passengers were screaming all over the place now. I closed my eyes tightly, counting to ten. hoping the plane would straighten up.

"Lola" I heard Logan say.

"6, 7, 8..." I continued scared stiff with my eyes so tight.

"LOLA!" I heard him call again.

I reluctantly opened my eyes to find all the oxygen masks dangling down in front of us.

"Oh god.." I said in a small cry.

Logan finished putting his own mask on him then helped me put mine on. My hands were too scared to work.

The plane was making a droning noise as it still headed nose first at whatever we were flying over.

I strained my head over the tops of the seats. I knew this wasn't going to end well when I realised the air crew were strapped in their seats in the brace position for a crash landing.

"Logan, head in your knees!" I instructed.

Logan looked at me with terrified eyes as we both sat in the emergency position just looking at each other. Praying to be any where but here.

The plane then turned to darkness as we lost all the lights apart from the ones that marked out the exits.

I could hear Sheri sobbing her eyes out. Then Logan began crying on hearing her start up.

"I love you Logan" I said clutching his hand tightly still with our heads down low in the emergency position.

"I love you too" were the last words I heard before the plane began making a roaring sound, it was so loud I couldn't hear myself think, I was grateful in a way because it blocked out the scared screams of the passengers. The plane shook uncontrollably as it went down.

I was then catapulted in to the seat in front of me as we made impact. Luggage from the overheads came flying out in all directions.

I placed my hands over my head in a vain attempt to protect myself.

"Lola? Lola?!" Logan said pulling me back in to an upright position.

I sat up, trying to accommodate my eyes to the darkness that engulfed us. I couldn't see anything, all I could hear was chaos. Everyone talking and shouting instructions to each other.

"Get your life jacket on babe! Come on" Logan said fumbling around under my seat trying to find it.

He pulled it out and slipped it over my neck.

"Don't inflate it yet!" He warned me.

I nodded. I saw up ahead that there was now a dim light beaming in through the open door. People were being instructed on how to leave the air craft. They were going out one by one.

Carlos leaned over. "You okay guys?" He asked with panicked eyes that I saw with the almost strobe effect of light that was trying to kick back in to service.

I nodded. "I think so"

"Get your life jackets on!" Logan replied to him, then turned to say the same to Sheri who wasn't coping well.

"Sheri get your jacket on." Logan said getting out of his seat, pushing people out of his way that were trying to escape.

"Im trying its not there." She said reaching under her seat in a panic. Her movement in the flickering light reminded me of an antique movie maker.

I noticed that Safia was bleeding and James was crying.

Logan reached under sheris seat. "It's not there... where the fuck is it?" He panicked.

"Logues are we in the sea? Are we sinking in the fucking sea?" Sheri asked him, her voice high pitched. I noticed Kendall in the flickering light looking pre occupied with a crying child that was next to him. The mother of the child looked out cold.

"I don't know, I guess...Yeah." Logan replied to Sheri taking his own life jacket off to give her.

I slipped mine back over my neck and handed it to him. "here take this one, don't use your own baby." I said handing it over. Logan didn't even look to see where it had come from, he handed my life jacket to Sheri.

I then crawled over the front of my seat trying to get to where Kendall sat. I had been a qualified nurse for only 8 months before losing my job because I mixed work and pleasure with Logan, but my medical brain was now reeling in to action as I was surrounded by hurt and screaming people.

As I made my way over empty seats to get to the opposite side of the aisle Logan blocked tending to Sheri, I took in the girl that Kendall was trying to deal with.

The child, around two years old was clinging on to her mother who wasn't out cold... she was dead.

"Do something Lola." Kendall said to me.

I shook my head. "There isn't anything I can do for her... she is gone." I said, looking all around I saw Mackenzie and Carlos about to exit the plane, the one remaining flight attendant trying to stay calm and assist everyone off. I noticed one of the other attendants were either dead or out cold. The more I looked around I just saw people not moving in their seats or severely injured. Everyone else was making a mad panic for the exit.

Carlos and Mackenzie were now out of the plane.

"Don't go any where I will be right back!" I said to Kendall who was now trying to stop the child from crawling on her dead mother.

"Are you okay?" I asked over to James and Safia.

"Saffy has hit her head pretty bad." James replied.

I climbed over the seats to take a look at her. The cut she had was pretty deep but it wasn't going to kill her.

"She will be fine. Get your life jackets on and get out of here!" I instructed. James nodded then helped her up.

I turned back to look at Logan who was still trying to control a hysterical Sheri.

I climbed over fallen luggage and fallen bodies, finally making my way to the flight attendant.

Looking out the exit I saw nothing but water and darkness. "What is happening? are the emergency services on their way?" I asked her.

She was crying but still maintaining her role as flight attendant. "We lost radio contact hours ago. I don't think anyone knows we have gone down." She cried.

A huge jolt then hit the plane as it began to roll on its side. "You need to help me get the injured passengers out!" I said to the woman who was slowly beginning to lose her coolness under all this pressure.

She nodded. Looking at her friend who just a few moments ago was the other flight attendant. She now lay motionless on the floor.

"Cindy? Right?!" I asked looking at her name badge.

Cindy nodded.

"Okay Cindy, im Lola! I need to know something okay... is the plane gonna float or sink?" I asked taking her hand in mine.

"It's sinking! The roll just then... that means that there is a flood in the cargo bay, that section will fill eventually leading to the others to fill, dragging the plane down." She said knowingly.

"Okay... Okay... shit.. right this is what we do, any people that are injured badly need to leave the plane with someone who can look after them. Any one that is dead... or nearly dead stays on board okay!"

Cindy nodded. We then worked our way around as much of the plane as we could get to. Sending people off in pairs to exit the air craft. Some wounds I came across were worse than others.

The plane was gradually rolling over. It was only very slight but I could feel everything shifting around me.

"Lols! Lola!... what are you doing we need to go!" Logan called over the screams of people as he helped Sheri up.

I scrambled over to him, tripping over a dead body in the aisle. Logan then helped me to my feet.

"We need to get as many people out before it sinks!" I said to Logan. It was then I noticed a hand peeking out on the floor from behind some seats a few rows down.

"Lols we need to go baby..." Logan said to me urgently.

"Logan I can't just leave... I can't... not when I am in a position to save some lives... listen... take Sheri, get her out, keep her safe okay!" I said to him. "I will be out in just a few minutes.. I'm right behind you." I said giving him a kiss.

Logan gave me the look to say this was wrong and I knew it. In a way I was glad I saw that look on his face, at least it confirmed he did care for me.

"Get going. Don't let go of her hand okay!" I said giving Sheri a smile. She looked scared stiff and in complete shock. She held her hand out to Kendall who now had a screaming child on his lap.

"Kendall wait! She will need a life jacket on... it will help keep her warm too." I said rummaging around under seats until I found one. I slipped it over the little girl. "Can you do this Kendall?" I asked nervously. Placing the life of a two year old child in his hands quite literally when I was fully aware of the panic attack problems Kendall suffered from which caused him to have seizures... if anything was going to put him to the test it was this.

"I will be fine!" He insisted, making sure the girl was securely strapped in to the life jacket.

I nodded. With an emotional look we all parted ways. I watched as my boyfriend and friends left the plane. I then turned my attention to the hand I saw peeking out from the floor.

The body that was attached to the hand was completely buried by luggage. The flicking lights made the familiar blue back pack I had seen during the flight visible. I smiled at it, and slipped it on my back. I then began to uncover the person, hoping I wasn't about to find them dead.

A huge creak came as the plane then moved forward, I imagined the nose was now getting dragged under the water.

Once uncovered I realised the girl wasn't dead, she was just knocked out. Her jet black hair covered her face. I swept it out the way.

"Hello! Can you hear me?" I shouted at the girl. Her eyes fluttered open.

"Can you tell me if your in any pain any where?" I asked urgently.

"No... no I don't think so." The girl replied. She looked only slightly younger than myself.

The plane rolled once more, it was going to be laying sideways soon, making it that much harder to get out the exit. I turned around trying to spot cindy but only myself and the black haired girl remained on board. Everyone else was only going to be leaving in a body bag despite the amount of moans and screams that were still audible. Cindy must of just panicked and fled.

The plane then jolted and I felt the unmistakable sinking sensation that I often felt in an elevator.

"I'm Lola, we need to get out now, can you stand up okay? I asked the girl.

"Yeah... " She replied obviously in shock in waking up to the madness. "My name is Paisley" she replied as I placed my arm around her waist and helped her up.

On looking at her face I realised I recognised her. "Paisley... as in Paisley Petrelli?" I asked.

"The very same." She replied with the smallest of smiles.

We bundled our way to the exit, moving over luggage as we went. "I guess this is a bad time to say I'm a huge fan... I've got all 4 of your albums." I said trying to make her smile. She looked terrified.

She turned to me as we approached the door to exit. I could see an inflatable life raft floating away in the sea.

"Thank you for saving my life." She said.

I smiled at her. Helping her to sit down ready to slide out of the plane.

"Shit you don't have a vest on, I said looking around. I saw an elderly man in a seat. He had his jacket on him but I could tell he would never make it once he hit the freezing cold ocean below us.

I slipped it from his neck and handed it to paisley.

"You go now." I told her, kneeling down in front of the man, I took his hand in mine.

"Isn't the plane sinking?" Paisley called over to me.

"I'm right behind you." I promised. With that paisley did smile at me then crossed her arms over her chest and slid out the plane with a scream.

"What's your name?" I asked the old man.

"Ed." The man replied with a knowing look that his time on this earth was numbered.

"Hi ed, I'm Lola, I'm a nurse okay... your gonna be fine.. the emergency services will be here soon and you will be out of here in no time." I lied.

Ed nodded. "I saw you going around helping everyone... your brave!" He said.

"Or stupid." I smiled, to which ed laughed, then coughed.

"You need to get out of here." He then said.

"I'm not so sure I can ed.." I said looking around at the people who on a quick glance I knew could survive but just not survive stuck in water without putting others in danger.

"You've done all you can Lola, the rest is in gods hands." He replied.

"What were you headed to New Zealand for ed?" I asked my smile and my bedside manner had always calmed my patients down

"To visit my great grandson, liam... he was born last week... lola give him this." Ed said handing me a small blue bear.

It was then I began crying. I had held it together for so long through all this, but this man had made it all very real, us both knowing he wasn't going to survive. "What's your surname ed?" I asked in a shaky voice.

"Charlton... Edward Charlton." He said proudly.

"I will make sure liam gets this... I promise you ed!" I replied wiping my eyes. I gave his hand a squeeze then walked to the exit just as another large jolt came to the plane.

"Hey!... hey!... you can't just leave us here... you fucking bitch!" Some guy shouted out. I had looked at him earlier, knowing he wasn't going to make it out of the plane without specialist help. He had one of safias skis embedded through his stomach.

"Help is coming!" I said to him.

"Get me out of this fucking seat!" The man demanded. Now trying to pull at the ski that pinned him to his airline seat.

I began to walk back to attempt to help him, I couldn't live with it on my conscience but ed grabbed my hand.

"You promised me lola! Now go!" He said.

Once again I wiped my eyes. I whispered sorry to the man with the ski and crossed my arms over my chest and jumped out on the inflatable slide... not knowing what horrors would await me down here in the middle of the ocean. Knowing no help was on its way.
