Chapter 3: Remembering
Disclaimer: I do not own the flight 29 down characters. Joey is a made up character however.
Melissa rolled over in her sleeping bag. She was trying to sleep but Joey's face kept popping into her head. When Taylor tripped over her earlier this morning she had to pretend to be sleeping and she must have been convincing.
Once again Joey's face came to mind. She couldn't help but think about that day. She hated this day and she had really hoped they would home by now. She kept thinking about the way she and Joey had had a fight about the stupidest thing.
Who fights about whether to sit at the table or to sit on the ground at lunch? She thought.
He had been so mad though she figured there was something else going on besides their lunchtime fight, but she hated to see him like that. That afternoon instead of getting a ride with Joey, Melissa decided to walk home with Nathan. Nathan was her best friend and when anything was wrong she always talked to him. She had had a few fights like this one with Joey the past couple of weeks. Nathan knew about all of them. In fact Nathan had been the only one who knew about the trouble Melissa was having with Joey because Nathan was the only one who knew that she was with Joey. She admitted he was kind of strange but he was really sweet on his good days. For some reason none of her other friends liked him at all. Every time his name was mentioned they could only think of negative things to say about him. Nathan was different. He didn't care for Joey all that much either but he knew how Melissa felt.
That afternoon when Melissa got home she checked her emails and then watched some TV. It was almost nine 'o' clock and she hadn't heard from Joey. She was getting worried. Every time they fought he usually called by now to apologize, that was just how he was. Melissa was just about to pick up the phone and call him when the phone rang.
"Hello."
"Melissa?" It was Joey's dad's voice. That was weird. Joey's dad didn't really talk to her very much and she thought it was very strange for him to be calling her.
"Yes, Mr. Dupont, it's me."
"Mel, there's been an accident."
