Ok I like this chapter. It's been done for a while I just didn't have the time to review it. I ended up fixing it making me like it even more. PLEASE review. I don't want to force you guys into it but I posted two chapters and got NO REVIEWS. I don't do it for the reviews but it would be nice to know what you guys think. I really love writing but, you'll hear me say this a lot, I'm not to confident about it and Id really love some constructive crit. Alright you are allowed to proceed.

Chapter nine: Don't fly away from me

Jonny walked into his house thinking it was vacant. He slammed the door shut and let out a grunt. Why was Charlie being so difficult? Why was she this perfect? Why did she keep almost dying? Little did she know that he had saved her life today as well. Little did she know he'd keep doing it. Little did she know he was hooked on her. He needed her. He wanted to hold her hand. He wanted to run his fingers through her hair. Her shiny dirty blond hair. He wanted to talk to her. Really talk to her. Have a chance at a conversation without the whole "save her life baggage". Without the whole "stay away" request. He couldn't stay away. He honestly felt like he'd do anything for her. He'd leave and let her be even if it meant he'd break. But he couldn't do that if she was in constant danger. He wouldn't be able to live with him self if he allowed such a good person leave life on earth. If only she could understand that if he hadn't pretended to talk to her during her class today, she'd be dead. The boy had had a vision of the event.

She poured two chemicals together and the two didn't exactly react well. The test tube filled with foam and the viscous liquid began pouring out of the glass container. She held it at a distance from her body looking around comparing her team's result to ones of other groups.

"Mike, what's going on?"

The boy didn't reply. Instead he distinctively blinked thrice as if counting down. At the third eyelid movement he kept his eyes closed, tight, and stopped breathing.

A small hiss was heard through the class room. It was a low high pitched sound but it made every one turn towards them, the teachers eyes widening. The sound was released by the blonde's concoction while a small line of smoke escaped it. She inhaled the fruity sent of the grey fume only to collapse to the floor.

"Charlie?" Casey's voice rung through the silence.

The teacher finally snapped out of the shock at Casey's words.

"Everyone out! Hold your breath!" Ms Cron yelled.

No one moved.

"EVERYBODY GO!" She screeched.

All the students quickly started making their way out. Casey's eyes stayed fixed on her fallen best friend. She began to go towards her.

"Dimesworth! Out!"

This only made the girl move faster toward her other half. She was pulled out by a blond boy, Chris.

That was one of the reason the boy couldn't let her go. The effect she had on people, the affect her death would have. The other main reason was that it wasn't fair. A bunch of people took life for granted, messed up their future and hurt those around them. She…she was as delicate, precious and rare as a thorn-less rose, only bringing good to those around it with it's beauty and it's sent.

"Why is this happening?" The boy spoke loudly towards the sky although he had stopped believing in God a long time ago.

"I don't know."

Jonny looked around shocked by the response.

"God… are you there?"

"No you idiot!"

He looked towards the kitchen only to find his best friend munching on a bag of chips.

"Cory? Why don't you ever go eat in your house?"

"You know the rents left all the hot meals here."

"You're eating chips…"

"What's your point?"

"Never mind" Jonny flopped down on the sofa.

"Wow this girl got you good." The curly haired boy replied while crashing into the sofa next to him.

"What? What makes you say that?"

"Usually you'd bicker back…"

"…I guess you're right. I'm not going to lie about it. She's got me eating at the palm of her hand and she doesn't even know it."

"Dude I'm glad you think you've found someone special, you know how I feel about Alyson, but this girl…she changed you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jonny snapped back feeling the urge to defend the girl who has been on his mind ever sense that moment in the airport.

"Hold it there cowboy. You've just been all serious. You're not the same up-beat fun-loving go-with-the-flow guy."

Jonny sighed knowing his best friend spoke the truth.

"You don't know what she does to me. I…I'm attached to her." Jonny said searching for the right words.

"And that's okay, as long as you don't change."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Of course I am, I'm Cor…" The teenager stopped him self when he saw his best friend's eyes glaze over. He was having a vision, or a premonition as Maya, his nerd of a sister, liked to call them.

"Come on Charlie!"

"I'm coming gosh! Stop pressuring me kid."

"Well if you weren't slower than a snail I wouldn't have to!"

"Don't use that tone with me child."

"Just hurry it up."

The two blondes got settled into their seats. After much arguing, Charlie got the window seat. They were right beside the left wing of the plane. Once the usual announcements and safety measures were said over the intercom by a way to hyper lady, the plane began to move. First it went forward and slowly in rose from the ground. Charlie gazed out the window; her face less than an inch away from it. Then it happened. The plane began to shake. The last weal still hadn't parted with the concrete. The plane's left wing broke off and that knocked all the passengers to the left, sending Charlie through the thick glass window. Blood leaked down the white wall to her seat, to the carpet beneath her feet.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" The shrill sound of Miranda's scream pierced everyone's ears including hers. And it would ring in her temple for a long, long time.

Jonny's eyes focused once more on the boy in front of him. He was no longer eating chips. He had a bowl of cereal in his hands.

"So what did you see?" Cory asked some milk dripping from his mouth.

"She's going to die…again."

The curly haired teen sighed.

"You're going aren't you?"

"Yeah…"

And just like that Jonny was on his feet, grabbing his keys and heading out the door, to the airport.

―

"Mom we'll be fine!"

"I know, I know. I'm just…"

"Worried. I know. Don't be, everything will be fine."

"Of course they will!"

"Bye Gran!" Miranda piped up.

"I told you not to call me that!"

I laughed. The two hugged. My mom hugged me again. Kissed our heads, and we were off.

"Ugh! This is taking so long!"

"Miranda calm down. Just this one line then we are boarding the plane."

"Yeah but the old lady is taking so loooong!"

The old woman in question turned and glared.

"Keep you voice down, will you." I said.

"yeah, yeah…"

That girl I swear ―

"Charlie!"

Is someone calling me?

"CHARLIE!"

I turned around and saw his toned body approach me as he ran.

"Charlie!"

"What?" I said when he reached me. I had wanted my tone to be more aggressive but it came out as a weep.

"Charlie you can't go on that plane." He warned catching his breath. His brown hair fell onto his eyes a bit and I loved the way it did just that.

"And why not?" I snapped.

"It's dangerous! You're going to…"

"…to…?" I repeated impatiently.

"Charlie…you're going to die."

Anger boiled the blood in my veins.

"LET ME GUESS!" A few heads turned so I lowered my voice. "You SAW me die. In one of your, your visions?"

"Actually that's exactly what happened."

"You said you were going to leave me alone." I reminded him looking down.

"I can't. I…I…Please just―"

"No! My niece and I are scheduled for this flight and that's the flight we're talking!"

"But―"

"No! No buts! What exactly happens Jonny? The plane crashes and everyone on it dies?"

"No…just you." This time it was him who looked down…well you know, downer than when he looks at me. "Please, just take the next flight."

"No" I said firmly.

"At least come with me for a second."

"Why?"

"I need to show you something. You can bring your niece or tell her to wait in the line. I don't mind."

I hesitated. "Fine. Mir'…"

"Yeah?" She responded a few feet ahead of me.

"Stay in line and wait on the side if I'm not here when you get to the front. I have to go do something real quick."

"Okay?" She asked unsure.

I walked away Jonny by my side.

"What is this thing you want to show me?"

He looked around a bit and then pointed near a hallway.

"The bathroom?"

"Yeah come on!"

Once we got in front of the girl's restroom. He just stood there silently.

"Well?"

"Just give it a minute."

I waited patiently. Then I waited not so patiently.

"What is it Jonny?"

"This"

He delicately pushed me into the ladies room and held the door shut.

"JONNY! OPEN THE DOOR!"

"I'm sorry Charlie, but I can't"

"Jonny!" I pulled at the door hoping I'd miraculously become stronger. "Jonny! I'm serious!"

5 minutes

20 minutes

30 minutes

"Flight 3250, now boarding."

40 minutes

50 minutes

"Flight 3250. Last call for flight 3250."

60 minutes

I heard the door creak open from my spot against the opposing wall.

"Hey" His soft voice filled the room.

"So this is your genius plan? Getting me to miss my flight?" I shook my head. "Thanks a lot."

I got up, grabbed my stuff, and strode past him.

"Charlie! I―"

"I really don't want to hear it Jonny."

I walked away. Met up with a worried Miranda. Then she was more furious than worried. I informed my sister and asked her to get our bags that were on the first flight. Then, I made the arrangements to take the next flight. Two hours later.

During our two hour wait the speakers of the airport announced something I wished it hadn't.

"The passengers of flight 3250 are asked to wait in the 8C5 area. The crash has caused some delays but another plane will be taking you out of the state shortly. Luckily all passengers survived the accident caused by certain technical difficulties and plane failure. I repeat, the passengers are awaited in the 8C5 area well you will get more information. Thank you" The usually robotic voice said.

Great, now a twinge of guilt will eat away at me until I thank him. Oddly the idea of thanking him didn't feel like a bother. I wanted to.

What did you think? By the way this is still the beginning of the story. Sorta the meeting between Jonny and Charlie. The second part is when the "action" begins. Review cuz you want to!

―peace, peach.
