Here's another chapter. I'm going to try to make this one longer and add more detail.
I woke up and looked at the digital clock that was beside the bed. It said 7:00. I looked out the window and the sun was just coming up. I grabbed my bag and ran to the check out counter gave the guy $ 80.00 and ran to the back parking lot where the taxi's were waiting. I ran in one and said to the driver "Calgary international airport". I am really worried since my flight leaves at 8 and my watch says it is 7:15. I hope I don't miss my flight. This taxi seems to be taking forever. Oh no a traffic jam. "You know what drop me off here" I said to the driver. I gave him $20.00 and got out of the cab. I saw that I was not to far from the airport so I ran to the airport. Finally after what seemed like forever I reached gate 3's door. The clock on the wall said it was 7:50. I ran to the counter and asked the flight attendant "am I too late to board flight 83 to Gleanoak California."
"No but you should hurry of you want to make it on time so I would go now" the flight attendant replied.
So I ran to security and got thought it really fast. I made it right on time. The flight was long. Soon I fell asleep.
5 hours later
"Miss Wake up" I woke up and saw that a flight attendant was waking me up. We had landed. I got my bag and got off the plane. There was Eric waiting for me.
"Hi Eric" I said.
"Lets talk" he replied.
"Here?" I said back.
"Do you want to go to the church" he asked me.
"Fine" I replied.
We drove to the church in silence. Then we pulled into the church parking lot.
We walked into Eric's office.
"Why did you run away" he asked me.
"I missed my mom" I replied.
"You should have told me I would have gone with you. The whole family was worried sick about you." Eric told me.
"I'm really sorry" I told Eric.
"If you're really upset about your mom's death I know a support group you could go to." Eric said to me.
"Eric I'm really tired can we go home" I asked him.
"Sure" he answered.
When we walked in the door Lucy and Ruthie started to bombard me with hugs.
"We were so worried about you" Lucy said to me.
"Lucy I'm really tired" I said to her.
"Ok See you in the morning" Lucy replied. After Lucy said that Annie walked in the door.
"Are you sure you don't want any dinner Caroline" Annie asked me.
"No I ate on the plane" I told Annie.
When I got into bed I was about to turn out the light when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in" I said.
Annie walked in.
"Hey Annie" I told her.
"Hello" She replied.
"Are you going to lecture me like Eric did" I asked Annie.
"No I'm not going to lecture you" Annie replied.
"What do you want then" I replied.
"A few years ago my mom died" she told me.
"Did she commit Suicide" I asked Annie.
"No she had cancer" Annie replied.
"It hurts me so much to think that my mom didn't want to live anymore. I know that since my sisters died are life hasn't been so great but she still had me". I couldn't believe I was telling Annie a woman who I had only known a few weeks my feelings. I guess it was because we had something in common.
"I know it hurts I remember when my dad told me that my mom was dead. I was so upset I just cried and cried" Annie told me.
"I fell like it was my fault" I told Annie.
"But you know it wasn't your mom was just missing your sister" Annie replied.
"I didn't even go to her funeral" I told Annie. Then I broke down crying. Annie just rocked me and I guess I fell asleep.
"Hey wake up" Lucy whispered in my ear.
"Please don't lecture me" I replied half asleep.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to see the movie Ice Princess with me and Kevin" Lucy asked me.
"Why" I asked her.
"I don't know" She replied
"Fine Let me get dressed" I replied
