Chapter 5
Fox was in the first class part of the plane to Harmony. He puts his bag on the top cabinets. He sits down and closes his eyes. His mind starts to drift off.
Fox is in his hotel room in Europe. He is pacing back and forth with his cell phone in his hands. He is anxious to speak to Kay. He's called and left messages before but Kay never answered any of them or called him back.
"This is Fox-"
"-And Kay." Kay interrupted.
Fox continued, "We are currently not home right now."
"So left a message after the beep." Kay said.
Fox smiled at the message he and Kay made on their answering machine. Then the beep came.
Beep
Fox replied, "Hey...Kay. It's me again. I know I uh...called before. I just wanted to speak to you...you know. You haven't been answering my calls. I was just wondering where you are and if you're okay. That's all. I didn't mean to hurt you. You know that. I didn't want to leave but I had to. I'm really sorry. Call me back. And...I love you Kay. I do. So uh...Bye..." Fox then hung up. When he was done he sighed.

On the other side of the line, Kay was listening to the message. She was curled up in the corner of the room. She has tears running down her cheek. She had a glass of scotch. Kay was drinking it to numb the pain. When the message was almost done, Kay sets the drink to her side and gets up slowly. She walks over to the answer machine.
"...Call me. And...I love yo-" Before the message could finish, Kay grabbed the whole phone and ripped it up. She ripped the cords from the walls and threw it against the wall. She was breathing heavily and tears came down harder than before. She places a hand on the small table to catch her breath. She just leaned on her hand for support for fear she would breakdown onto the floor.

"Hello? Excuse me sir? Hello?" The woman waved a hand in front of him to get his attention.
Fox looks up and sees the woman. "Uh, yeah?"
The woman points to the seat next to Fox. "Does this coat belong to you?"
Fox looks at the seat next to him. "Oh. Yes. It is. Sorry." He removes the coat from the seat."
The woman said, "You looked lost in your thoughts."
"More like a memory."
"Good one?" The woman asked.
"Not really." Fox said.
"You want to talk about it?"
Fox shakes his head and says, "Not really." The woman nods and takes a seat.
"If you want to later, I'll be willing to listen."
"Thanks but I don't think so." The woman leaves him alone for the rest of the trip.

It is hours later and the plane landed safely in Harmony. Fox got up and grabbed his bag. The woman next to him was hovering over him.
"Can you move?" Fox said about to loose his patience.
"You have to be somewhere?" The woman asked.
"Yes. I have to deal with some personal problems so if you can please move, I have to be on my way."
The woman moves to let Fox through. Fox leaves the airplane and goes into the terminal. The woman was running behind. Fox goes to the pick-up area to get his suitcase. When he grabbed it, he ran into the woman.
"Now what?" He said, obviously annoyed.
Okay. So...I wasn't so sure how to write this. My mind wasn't in this chapter. I'm sorry. But I hope you guys liked it. My favorite part was the flashback. Thanks you.
