Chapter 7: The Flight.
Sunday night. Mac had finished all of her packing the night before and now she was sitting on the couch watching TV and trying to relax. She knew that she wouldn't get much sleep tonight, she was to nervous about tomorrow. She had been trying to figure out what to say to her uncle, but everything leaded to her hitting him. At the Snyder farm, Luke and Noah were packing the last of their things, not that they were planning on staying for very long, but in case of an emergency they decided to pack some clothes. Luke wasn't doing to good, he was so scared, of what his father would do when Mac told him the truth. Casey was at home, also done packing and heading out the door to go to Mac's house and keep Mac company. Casey said goodbye to his parents and left for his car.
The Snyder farm.
Noah: "Man, I never thought we were gonna finish packing."
Luke: "I know, and we're not even staying that long."
Noah: "I think we packed too much." (Noah looks down and sees the four suitcases laying on the floor.)
Luke: "Maybe we should repack?"
Noah: "NO! I'm not doing anymore packing."
Luke: "Okay okay. Let's just get them out to my dad's car, that way we don't have to do it tomorrow."
(Noah looked at Luke and smiled softly.)
Noah: "Are you sure you wanna do this?"
Luke: "Noah, (Luke put his hands on Noah's cheeks.) I'm absolutely sure I wanna do this." (Luke gave Noah a peck on the lips and hugged him tightly before letting go and getting the suitcases out to the car. While Luke and Noah were packing the car, Holden came out from the barn.)
Holden: "Are you guys sure you packed enough?" (Holden started laughing at the boys.)
Luke: "Shut up dad."
Holden: "Well it looks like you are staying for a month."
Noah: "Yeah, but it took us 3 hours to get this packed and I'm not gonna pack again for a long long time."
Luke: "He's too lazy."
Noah: "Oh, shut up you." (Noah pushed Luke and Luke just laughed.)
Holden: "It really took you 3 hours to pack this?"
Luke: "Yeah, and don't say that mom would have it done in 45 minutes."
Holden: "Okay, I won't even thou it's true."
Luke: "Yeah yeah, we know mom is a genius."
(Luke walked back to the house, Noah was about to follow when Holden got a hold of him.)
Holden: "Listen Noah, I can't say that I'm happy about this trip, but if it's what Luke needs, then I'm not gonna interfere. Just promise me one thing. Take care of him, Damien isn't anything but trouble."
Noah: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him, and if Damientries something, well let's just say, no one has seen me really mad before."
Holden: "I knew I could count on you. I bet it's not a pretty sight. Just remember that Damien is a powerful man with powerful connections ."
Noah: "If he tries to hurt Luke or Mac, I don't think I would care about that."
Holden: "Just be careful."
Noah: "I will. Well I better go see what Luke is up to, before he finds more things to take with him." (Noah and Holden laughed, as they both went inside. Luke was in the kitchen making a sandwich.)
Luke: "What are you two laughing about!"
Holden: "You! Wait a minute, you're still hungry after all the food you had for dinner?"
Luke: "Well, packing made me hungry, but don't try and change the subject! Why are you laughing about me?"
Noah: "Luke relax. I just joked about me going inside to make sure you hadn't found anymore stuff to pack."
Luke: "Ha ha, very funny!"
Holden: "I thought so!" (Holden started laughing again.)
Luke: "Dad, stop laughing!"
Noah: "I don't think he can."
Luke: "Dad, I'm not in the mood to be laughed at right now. (Holden didn't stop laughing, and Luke was getting irritated.) I'm going to bed." (Luke went upstairs and got ready for bed. Noah and Holden were still in the kitchen.)
Noah: "God, I hate seeing him like this."
Holden: "He's got a lot on his mind right now. Don't worry, he'll be his bubbling self as soon as this trip is over."
Noah: "I hope so. Well, I better go to bed to, we do have a long day tomorrow. Good night Holden."
Holden: "Good night Noah."
Mac's House
(Mac was still trying to relax by the TV, but it wasn't helping. She got up to make some coffee when there was a knock on the door. The door slowly opened.)
Casey: "Mac?"
Mac: "Hey Casey."
(Casey opened the door completely and closed it behind him.)
Casey: "You okay?"
Mac: "No not really. I don't know if I can do this."
(Casey went over and hugged his girlfriend tightly. Mac's eyes began to fill with tears and she started to cry.)
Casey: "It'll be okay. Don't worry, I'll be there right by your side. He can't hurt you."
Mac: "I don't think I can face him after what he did Luke, who's to say he wouldn't do something to me this time."
Casey: "He won't. He won't even get the chance when I'm there."
(Mac broke the hug, and looked at Casey.)
Mac: "What did I do to deserve you?"
Casey: "You kept on being you!" (Casey dried the tears that was on Mac's cheeks.)
Mac: "You are so adorable."
Casey: "Aren't I always."
Mac: "Well, I don't know about that." (Mac smiled.)
Casey: "How about we cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie? Might make you fall asleep."
Mac: "Don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight."
Casey: "I know you don't think so, but if you are gonna face your uncle tomorrow, then you need to get some rest. I know it's not gonna be easy, but would you at least try?"
Mac: "I'll try, but I still don't think it's gonna work."
(Mac and Casey sat down on the couch and started watching a movie, Casey was right because 30 minutes into the movie, he looked down a Mac and saw that she was sound asleep.)
Monday morning was here. Mac and Casey were sound asleep on the couch in each other's arms. Noah was also asleep, but Luke was in the kitchen, staring at nothing but air. He hadn't been able to sleep for more than an hour. Noah was starting to stir in his bed. He woke up knowing that something wasn't right. He quickly got up and got dressed. He then went down to the kitchen and saw Luke just staring out into space.
Noah: "Luke are you okay?"
(Luke looked up for the first time in hours.)
Luke: "Hey, what are you doing up so early?" (Noah could see how tired Luke was, and he knew that Luke hadn't slept much that night.)
Noah: "I could ask you the same thing!"
Luke: "I couldn't sleep."
Noah: "I know. Hopefully you'll be able to sleep on the plane."
Luke: "Yeah, I hope so too."
Noah: "If this is too much, just say so and we won't go."
Luke: "Noah, I need to do this, I need to face him."
Noah: "But why now? I mean you haven't seen him for 3 years."
Luke: "Mac!"
Noah: "What?"
Luke: "Mac.. if he could do that to me, then just imagine what he could do to Mac."
Noah: "He's not going to do anything to Mac. He wouldn't."
Luke: "She's his brothers kid! I'm his kid and he did that to me, why wouldn't he do it to her?"
Noah: "Yeah, you're probably right. But what are you gonna do about it?"
Luke: "I won't know until he tries something."
Noah: "Well, then all we can do is wait. How about I make you some breakfast?"
Luke: "Yeah, that sound great. While you do that, I'm gonna go take a shower."
(Noah started making breakfast for him and Luke, while Luke went upstairs to take a shower.)
Mac's House.
(Casey was already awake and was looking at his girlfriend sleeping on the couch with her head on Casey's chest. Mac was starting to move. She slowly opened her eyes.)
Casey: "Good morning."
Mac: "What time is it." (Mac was rubbing her eyes.)
Casey: "It's 6.30am."
Mac: "Oh, okay."
Casey: "You want me to make some coffee?"
Mac: "Yes please!" (Mac got up and went to the bathroom, while Casey went to the kitchen and made some coffee. When Mac was done in the bathroom, she went to the living room and turned on the TV. Casey came out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee.)
Casey: "Here you go." (Casey handed Mac the cup and sat down next to Mac on the couch.)
Mac: "Thank you. (Mac looked at the clock.) Only 3 hours till we are on a plane."
Casey: "I know, just try and relax until we get there. Then you can panic as much as you want."
Mac: "Are you making fun of me?"
Casey: "Maybe just a little." (Casey smiled and gave Mac a kiss.)
Mac: "You're evil, you know that?"
Casey: "But you love me either way."
Mac: "Yes I do, and god only knows why." (Mac started laughing.)
Casey: "I know too.. It's my smashing good looks, my everlasting charm, my strong and sexy body, and my killer smile!"
Mac: "You forgot your lazy ass personality." (Mac broke down laughing.)
Casey: "I'm so gonna get you!" (Mac quickly got off the couch and started running around, with Casey right behind her. Mac still wasn't all wake, so Casey got her not long after they started.)
Casey: "Got you!"
Mac: "So, what are you gonna do next?"
Casey: "Just wait and see!"
(Mac took a sip of her coffee and headed for the bedroom, to do some last minute packing.)
The Snyder farm.
(Luke had finished showering and he and Noah were having breakfast.)
Luke: "What time is it?"
(Noah looked at the clock on the wall behind Luke.)
Noah: "It's 7:30 why?"
Luke: "Only 2 more hours till the plane takes off."
Noah: "Oh, yeah."
Luke: "I'm actually not worried anymore."
Noah: "Really, Well I guess that shower helped."
Luke: "Yeah a little bit. But it's mostly because of you."
Noah: "What do you mean?"
Luke: "Well, you've helped me a lot by just being there for me, telling me that everything is gonna be okay and making me breakfast for the past week."
(Before Noah could say anything, Emma came into the kitchen from the barn.)
Emma: "Wow, you guys are up early, I thought you had the week off!"
Luke: "Hey grandma!"
Noah: "Good morning Emma."
Emma: "Good morning Noah, Good morning Luke."
Noah: "You want some breakfast?"
Emma: "No thanks sweetheart, I already ate."
Noah: "Okay, then I'll just start cleaning up."
Emma: "So, what are you guys doing up so early, didn't you have the week off?"
Luke: "It's Monday!"
(Emma's face turned from happy to sad in a few seconds.)
Emma: "I forgot about the trip."
Noah: "Believe me, we didn't!"
Emma: "So, how are you feeling?" (She looked at Luke. But he didn't say anything.)
Noah: "Well, Luke didn't get much sleep last night."
Luke: "Hopefully I can get some sleep on the plane."
(Holden had finished the chores in the barn, and entered the kitchen.)
Holden: "Hey mama, hey guys."
Luke: "Hey dad, I thought mom would be with you."
Holden: "Doing farm chores? No, she'll be here soon, she's dropping the girls off at school and Ethan is spending the day at your grandmothers."
Luke: "Oh, okay.. Yeah I could just see mom doing farm chores.. funny."
Holden: "You know, you sound a lot happier today then you did yesterday."
Luke: "I am! Now all I need, is to get some sleep on the plane."
Holden: "Couldn't sleep huh!"
Luke: "Oh I slept for about an hour!"
Holden: "You have a lot on your mind."
Luke: "Yeah, well not anymore thanks to Noah and his magic breakfast."
(They all started laughing.)
Holden: "Well, now you know how your mother feels when she's worried about you and you siblings."
Emma: "That's a lot of sleepless nights."
Luke: "Yeah I bet."
Noah: "Isn't it about time we get going?"
(Holden looked at his watch.)
Holden: "If you wanna get on the plane, then yes it's time. You guys ready?"
Luke: "As ready as I'll ever be."
Holden: "Noah?"
Noah: "The same as Luke."
(Luke and Noah hugged Emma goodbye and went out the door. Just as they were about to get in the car, Lily pulled up.)
Lily: "You plan to leave without me?"
Holden: "You're late! If the guys are gonna get on the plane in time, we need to leave now."
Lily: "Then let's go!"
(Lily hurried and gave Luke and Noah a hug before getting in the car.)
The Airport.
(Mac and Casey were already at the airport, and had checked in their suitcases. Now they were at the gate waiting for Luke and Noah to arrive and for them to be able to board. Luke and Noah with Holden and Lily had arrived at the airport and was checking in their suitcases. When they finished they slowly walked to the gate and saw Mac and Casey.)
Luke: "Hey guys."
Casey: "Hey Luke, Hey Noah. So are you ready to do this?"
Noah: "As ready as we'll ever be."
Mac: "Yeah, well I'll never be ready for this."
Casey: "Babe, just don't think about it!"
Mac: "Don't think about it? How the hell do you expect me to do that?"
(Luke hurried over to Mac and gave her a big hug.)
Luke: "It's gonna be okay. Don't be mad at Casey, he's just trying to help."
Mac: "I know but I can't stop thinking about what I'm gonna say to my uncle."
Luke: "I don't know what to say to him too, but I really have been trying to stop thinking about it."
(There was a voice over the speakers saying the the gate was ready to board. Mac pulled back from Luke and got her carry-on.)
Mac: "Well, that's us. Ready?"
Luke: "Yeah, you?"
Mac: "No not at all."
Noah: "Just try and sleep on the plane like Luke."
Mac: "I can try, but I'm not sure it's going to work."
Casey: "I could always sing you a lullaby."
Mac: "Sweetie, I don't think that's gonna help."
Holden: "You guys need to get on the plane now."
(Luke hugged his parents and then turned to Mac.)
Luke: "Come on Mac, we can do this." (Luke took Mac's hand and started walking towards the gate. He got Mac's ticket and his own and gave it to the stewardess. Noah and Casey soon followed.)
The Plane
(Luke, Mac, Noah and Casey had boarded the plane and had found their sets. After a while they felt the plane moving.)
Mac: "Well, there is no turning back now!"
Luke: "Does anyone have four parachutes?"
(They all started laughing.)
Mac: "I'd rather to to Malta and see my uncle then put one of those on.."
Noah: "What do you mean?"
Mac: "I've tried it once and I'm never doing it again!"
Casey: "So you don't have the urge to jump out of the plane?"
Mac: "Not at the moment no."
Luke: "Well, that's something.. now I'm gonna see if I can get a little bit of sleep."
Mac: "Goodnight Luke."
(Noah hurried up and made Luke rest on his shoulder.)
Noah: "Goodnight."
(Noah kissed Luke on his head. Mac and Casey got their iPods out and snuggled up to each other as much as they could.. Noah was looking at Luke, how had finally fallen asleep. Mac was getting thirsty and pressed the button to call the stewardess. A blonde woman came up to Mac's seat.)
Stewardess: "What can I do for you?"
Mac: "Can I please have some water?"
Stewardess: "Off cause.. anything else I can get for you?"
Mac: "No thank you. Just the water."
Stewardess: "Okay. I'll be right back."
(The stewardess walked over to the fridge and took a bottle of water. She then walked back to Mac.)
Stewardess: "Here you go."
Mac: "Thank you."
Stewardess: "If there is anything else you need, just push the button."
Mac: "Well there is one thing… When do we land?"
Stewardess: "In about an hour."
Mac: "Thank you."
Stewardess: "You're welcome."
(The stewardess walked away, and Mac looked at Casey, who had fallen asleep and smiled. Noah was still awake and was reading a book.)
Mac: "Hey Noah, what are you reading?"
Noah: "Pride and prejudice."
Mac: "I love that book and the movie is fantastic!"
Noah: "I normally into the black and white movies, but this is one of my favorites."
Mac: "Mine too. But my all time favorite is "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I absolutely love that movie."
Noah: "Yeah it's a great movie."
Mac: "You think it's time to wake the guys?"
Noah: "If we want them off the plane with us, then yes."
(Mac looked at Casey and started whispering in his ear. Noah found a more effective way of waking Luke up. Noah lifted Luke's head a bit and started kissing him like there was no tomorrow. Luke woke up quickly and kissed Noah back.)
Noah: "Hey there sleepyhead."
Luke: "I so wouldn't mind you waking me up like that every day!."
(Noah started laughing and smiled at Luke at the same time. Mac had gotten Casey awake by talking dirty in his ear.)
Casey: "I feel the need to go to the bathroom."
(Mac was laughing so hard that she could hardly breathe.)
Mac: "I'm not coming with you just so you know!"
Casey: "Well, a guy's allowed to dream right?"
Mac: "Yeah, but I'm still not going!"
(Casey went to the bathroom and left Mac to talk to Luke and Noah.)
Luke: "What was that about?"
Mac: "I just told him I had a dirty surprise for him if he woke up. And I guess he assumed it was sex on a plane!"
(Luke and Noah laughed. Casey came back from the bathroom and looked at Luke and Noah.)
Casey: "What are you guys laughing about?"
(Before Luke and Noah could respond there was a message from the captain.)
The captain: "Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be landing shortly. Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare to land. We hope you've had a pleasant flight and we wish you all the best on the rest of your journey. Thanks for choosing Malta travel."
Mac: "Okay… this is it!"
Casey: "Are you okay?"
Mac: "Yeah, what about you Luke."
Luke: "Yeah I'm okay. Let's do this."
(The plane had landed and Noah, Luke and Casey were getting the suitcases while Mac looked for her uncle's driver, who was holding a sign with Mac's name on it. Luke, Noah, Casey and Mac went to the car with the driver and was now heading to Damien's house.)
