Chapter 9
Jessica debated over going to the airport after Rey. She knew he wouldn't want to see her, let alone talk to her. She paced aimlessly around her dorm room, looking at the clock. His plane left in less than a half an hour. "Adrian, just go!" exclaimed her roommate, Amelia. "What?" Amelia slammed her chemistry book shut and jumped off her bed and grabbed her friend's arms. "I can see how badly you want to go and stop him, maybe even go with him, I don't know, but what ever it is, I think you should," she explained, "I don't know what happened in your life before you came here, but I do know you and I can tell you want to do this, so come on, I'll drive" she grabbed her keys, and headed for the door. Jessica smiled at her friends caring and followed her out.

"Flight 68 to San Diego, now boarding," the voice rang out through the airport. Jessica sprinted down the terminal; Amelia had dropped her in front of the airport, wishing her luck. "Excuse me miss, miss!" called a security guard as she pushed past the rest of the crowd and ran to the boarding gate. He ran after her and caught her around the waist. "No, I have to get to that plane!" she cried. "Do you have a ticket?" he asked, letting her go. "No, but I have to-"she tried. "Miss if you don't have a ticket, I'm afraid I cant let you through," he told her, she looked at him desperately. "Please, I just need to find someone," she insisted, "Can I buy a ticket?"

Rey groaned, what was the delay? He looked over the top of the seat in front of him; he wasn't the only impatient one. "This is ridiculous!" exclaimed the women next to him, he nodded in agreement. The two flight attendants were talking to the captain, he nodded to one of the them, and they leaned out the plane.
Rey sighed and looked back down at the magazine he had been reading. "A late passenger!" exclaimed the woman, "she should have to wait for the next plane!" Rey looked back up at the late arrival. "Jessica." he whispered with a smile.
"Thank you so much," he heard her say to the captain. She looked down the aisle, and smiled when she saw him. "Is this seat taken?" she asked pointing at the empty seat on his other side. He shook his head. She sat next to him and let out a loud breath. "What are you doing?" he asked, she looked over at him, happy tears in her eyes. "I don't know."
