"Honey, we have to go." Katey's dad ran his hands through her hair. "I'm sorry, sweetie. I really am, but we have to go. The plane is leaving in 10 minutes." Katey was crying. She had been crying for the last 20 minutes when Javier was 10 minutes late, and now he was half an hour late. It was obvious he wasn't coming. Katey just nodded and took what seemed to be the thousandth glance down the road leading to the airport. It certainly wasn't traffic. She could see all the way down the street to the beach, and she knew he had transportation. They had snuck out cars out of the garage where Javier worked several times. Javier shouldn't have had a problem getting here. But he wasn't. Katey just cried. They weren't loud sobs and they weren't tears that people had to almost force themselves to make. They were coming down steadily and silently. And with every one of them, Katey tried to force herself to stop. What was she thinking? Had she really thought it was love? Well, Javier obviously didn't think that. He would've been here. He would've been here! And with that, Katey's sadness turned into anger. How could he? Lead her on to sleeping with him! Was that all the last month was leading up to? Was he only trying to get into my pants? Her anger led her to remembering times with him that made her feel like she was in love. But when she rethought about them, most of them were times when he was being sensual. Ofcourse! God, what an idiot! she thought. She wasn't referring to Javier.
She walked on the plane, fuming, and glad to get out of the country where she had even seen Javier. She was still beating herself up for ever even thinking about Javier like that, when she started feeling nausceous. Ugh, I hate flying, she thought. The mixture of being angry and being on a plane, made her rush to the bathroom. "Honey, are you ok?" her mother said when she saw Katey practically run past her seat toward the bathroom. Katey shook her head no, and her mother followed her to the bathroom. "It's going to be ok, Katey" her mother was saying a few minutes later, while holding Katey's hair. Katey had a vomiting relapse. "Oh honey" Jeannie sympathized.
