Chapter 2
The next morning at the Camden household, everyone gathered together in the kitchen for breakfest. After breakfast, Simon walked slowly back up to his old room. He was in no mood to talk to anyone at the moment.
"I hate to see Simon so depressed," Reverend Camden told his wife as he cleared the table.
"Yeah, me too," Mrs. Camden told her husband.
"I just wish that I knew what was bothering him so that I could help him," Reverend Camden sighed.
"He'll come to us, believe me," Mrs. Camden said, eyeing her husband.
"Okay," Reverend Camden said, surrendering.
Meanwhile, Simon was upstairs with his door closed and his music playing loudly. The music helped him to think and he needed to think. He needed to think about how he was going to tell the rest of the family his news. He just hoped that when he told them they would be supportive. Matt walked by Simon's room and saw the door shut. He sighed, making his way to the room that he and Sarah were staying in.
"Can you believe that we're graduating?" Sarah said when she saw her husband.
"Yeah, we finally made it," Matt said as he went over to his wife.
"I just hope that my gown fits," Sarah said, chuckling.
"You'll look beautiful," Matt said as he kissed Sarah.
"Thanks," Sarah said.
"I can't wait to see Mary," Matt told Sarah.
"Me neither," Sarah said.
"I am really proud of her. She has finally settled down and gotten her life under control," Matt said.
"Speaking of Mary, what time are you supposed to pick her up at the airport?" Sarah asked Matt.
"Her plane gets in at 11:30," Matt told her.
"Well, it already 10:30," Sarah told him as she glanced at the clock.
"Wow, I am on my way. See you later," Matt told Sarah as he gave her a kiss.
"You bet," Sarah said.
With that, Matt went to find Carlos.
"Hey Carlos, I am going to the airport to pick up Mary," Matt told his brother-in-law.
"Okay, let's go," Carlos said.
With that, Matt headed towards the front door where he met his father.
"Hey dad, can I barrow the car?" Matt asked him.
"Of course," Reverend Camden told his son, flipping Matt the keys.
With that, Matt and Carlos headed towards the airport.
Once Matt and Carlos arrived at the airport, they went to the gate where Mary's plane was due to arrive. It just so happens, that she was assigned to work that day on a plane that was flying to Glen Oak. Once Matt and Carlos reached the gate, Matt told Carlos to take a seat while he went and checked the status of the flight.
"May I help you?" the counter clerk asked politely.
"Yes, I was wondering when flight 128 arriving from New York is scheduled to arrive," Matt said.
"It is running a little behind schedule. It should only be about a fifteen minute delay which means it should arrive around 11:45," the desk clerk told Matt.
"Okay, thank you," Matt said as returned to where Carlos was waiting.
"They said that the plane is delayed about fifteen minutes," Matt told him.
"Okay, we'll just wait," Carlos said.
With that, Matt told a seat next to Carlos, while the two of them waited anxiously for Mary's plane to arrive.
