Sam

…

I sit next to Landon as we wait for the airplane to start boarding. How long have we been sitting here for? Landon has occupied himself with his Pearpad. Playing that stupid game where you have to cut the fruit. The twins are texting away and the younglings are occupied with themselves. Along Mr. and Mrs. Charles reading the latest in celebrity news. Who reads those kind of magazines? The little noise goes off telling an announcement is coming on.

" The Rhode Island plane is being delayed ten minutes due to maintenance. Thank you for your patience." The voice over the intercom says. Everyone in the waiting area moans except for me. In the corner of my eye I look at the escalators for,

Freddie.

Freddie

…

The taxi pulls up to the airport and quickly pay him, jumping out. I run and I quickly remember that I can't get through security without a ticket. Fuck! I didn't think this fully through. Damn Kylie and her instant choices. I run up to one of the cashiers and ask for a ticket to Rhode Island.

" We have one more ticket in couch. That will be sixty dollars." The woman says.

" Isn't tickets usually more than that?" I ask back as I pull out my 'emergency' credit card that my mom gave me.

" Yeah but people barely go to Rhode Island. It's the tinniest state in America. No one cares for it." She replies.

" Interesting." I say.

" Have a safe trip." She says handing the ticket to me. I take it and run to security.

Sam

…

" Rhode Island in now boarding." The voice announces of the intercom. No. I start to hesitate. I don't think I go through this. I love Freddie. Not Landon. He's just been the cover up to my true feelings. I look back at the escalator. If you really love me Freddie…..where are you? Why aren't you stopping me.

" Time to go." Landon says with his hand out for me, standing up. I take Landon's hand and he immediately starts walking us towards the door with everyone else, going off to Rhode Island. I stop in my tracks and Landon looks at me.

" We're going to miss the flight Sam if we stop." Landon says in a sweet voice. I look into his eyes. A sea of promising green. I look behind him as his family stands in line.

" We need to talk." I say.

" Can we talk on the plane?" He asks back at me. He had an annoyance in his voice.

" No we can't. I need to tell you something." I reply trying to sound innocent.

" Final boarding for Rhode Island." The intercom says. He tugs my hand to the door, pulling me along as well.

Freddie

….

" Final boarding for Rhode Island." The intercom says as I reach the escalators. Shit! I walk fastly around an elderly couple and run up the escalator accidentally hitting some people in the process. I come to the top and look down at my ticket. Gate 14. Okay, I see 10, 11, 12…..I see 14. I run to the gate and see the walk through runway be pulled away from the plane. I can't believe it. I walk up to the window and press my hand up to the glass. There goes my chance. Sam is officially gone. From my grasp.

" Damn it!" I say hitting my hand against the window. One of the airport workers scold me. I back up from the window and watch the plane go in reverse, away from the window. I can't believe it. I was so close.

" Freddie?" I hear. I turn my head and see Sam. Coming from behind a big column. Her two bags in hand. She drops them.

" Sam?" I ask back.

" You came to stop me?" Sam asks as she walks towards me.

" Yeah." I reply. Sam closes the gap between us and I take hold either sides of her face.

" I love you." She says.

" There is no need for words." I say. Sam smiles and she looks deep into my eyes. I lean in and kiss her on the lips. The imaginary audience in my head screams in joy. Sam slowly kisses back and snakes her arms around my neck. I quickly end the kiss for just a second.

" What happened to Landon?" I ask. Sam smiles.

" Let's not mention that name anymore." Sam replies and then places her lips on mine. Resuming to kissing. We bring in tongue then the dominance fight pulled out. And that's what I've always loved about her. It's her way or the highway but, their is always a detour.

Landon

….

" We will ask everyone to shut off their phone in five minutes. Thank you." The intercom says over the plane. I finish dialing the number and bring my cellphone to my ear. I hear the ringing from the other end. Please pick up.

" Samantha talking." I hear her voice and I catch my breath. " Hello?"

" Hey Samantha. It's Landon." I answer back. " Landon Charles."

" I only know one Landon, Landon." Samantha says with a laugh.

" Yeah. Hey, I'm coming for the weekend for a family wedding, and I'd like to see you."

" I'd like to see you too, and baby Issy. She misses you too much."

" I know Samantha. I miss her too."

" She still has our green eyes." Samantha says.

" And she'll always have her mom's jet black hair." I add.

" She always will Landon. She always will." That sentence was music to my ears.

End or not to End? That is the question YOU must answer.
