A/N: Hey, this is my very first Red Eye fan fiction story. I totally loved the movie as soon as it was finished. It was done so well and I loved it! Of course I absolutely loved Rachel McAdams in it! She was brilliant in it, and Cillian Murphy was just a brilliant bad guy. I loved him in Batman Begins, another brilliant movie. The italic words are from the movie, not exactly sure if they are exact but they should be close!
Summary: Lisa Reisert sure has, not forgotten about Jackson…never will.
Declaimer: Never will own these characters, all belong to the writer Carl Ellsworth, and Wes Craven the director.
Because of You
Lisa Reisert couldn't believe she survived the horror of her Red Eye flight to Miami from Texas. Every time she went to sleep, she saw Jackson Rippner staring at her, studying her reaction when he knew what her favourite drink was Sea breeze. He guessed it really quickly, she thought it was joke so had a different drink instead. Jackson knew everything about her, why she went to Texas, she was always a workaholic, never had much time for her friends. He didn't like the fact that she was lying to his face all the time.
All Lisa knew about him was why he took her hostage on a flight, 30,000 feet in the air. No where to run, no one to get help or her father died for it.
Like in the bathroom, half way to Miami she wrote on the mirror '18F HAS BOMB' she assumed the person after her will believe it quickly so she could get away from him. She failed miserably and ended up getting bashed for it. Jackson always knew she was so stubborn.
All Lisa wanted was to get out of the mess she some how got herself into. She knew he knew everything about, he knew what her favourite drink was. A Grapefruit Sea Breeze that she always ordered no matter what mood she was in.
But when Jackson found the scar, he some how seemed sympathetic, almost jealous. She shivered at the thought. He touched her scar, making her feel more scared than ever before.
The one thing that he didn't know was the history of the scar. She didn't want to tell him but she ended up telling him anyway before she made her move.
"It happened in a parking lot, the scar. Two years ago." She said, half-murmuring. "He held a knife to my throat the whole time," she closed her eyes, tears started to fall down her face. "Since then there has been one thing I've been trying to convince myself over and over again," she said, firmly, taking the lid off the pen, still looking outside the window. She kept the pen behind her legs near the window. So Jackson couldn't see what she was up to.
"That is was beyond your control," Jackson suggested, firmly, almost sounding sympathetic. He stared at her, she must have been thinking because she staring outside.
"No," Lisa said, turning to Jackson, staring straight into his eyes. "That it would never happen again," she confirmed to him, as the plane went to a slow bumpy stop. The seat belt signal went off and suddenly she threw herself to him and stabbed Jackson in the neck.
She remembered that day so well. How she fought him back. Her dad gave her strength she didn't want Jackson to be satisfied to what he did to her. Because of him, she knew she would never be the same person again. It was all because of him she would never, ever be the same Lisa Reisert again.
A/N: yes, this song is inspired by the 'Because of You' by Kelly Clarkson. Song inspiration is the best! Hehe, well, I hope you enjoyed the little drabble. Please review, I like knowing if you enjoyed it or if I can keep going with it.
