Thank you to readermind for following.

When you said your last goodbye,
I died a little bit inside,
I lay in tears in bed all night,
Alone without you by my side,
But if you loved me,
Why'd you leave me?,

All I Want - Kodaline


I sat reading The Fault In Our Stars as my brother growled at his game to work – FYI, it wasn't working cause the internet up a few thousand metres in the air isn't that great. I smirked, his discomfort was comforting. Literally, he couldn't go a few hours without getting his computer out and opening his game. A game that was all about killing people and if he didn't kill the entire enemy team he would get grumpy.

He yelled at the computer game again and my father's voice echoed from the cockpit "Grant! Get off that game!"

I smirked as he slammed the lid shut, but quickly tried to hide the smirk as he made his way past my seat to go sit next to my father – I failed. He glared at me and snarled "If you don't wipe that smirk off your face, I'll break your face."

I scowled, but refrained myself from replying, when he's in this mood he's very bad. Penny was sitting next to me and sighed "Your brother is amazing sometimes."

I raised my eyebrows and didn't say anything. Penny had the window seat of our meagre family jet while Grant used to be sitting next to me. Behind us were Penny's parents and my mother. Then in the final row of three were my twin brothers (both 7) and Penny's overly-happy sister; Amanda, who was 12.

I looked over Penny's shoulder and found her watching the exact movie of the book that I was reading; The Fault In Our Stars. She was up to the point where Isaac was in a psychotic meltdown because his girlfriend dumped him.

Smiling, I pulled an earphone out of her ear and plugged it into mine.

[Gus goes over to Hazel and Isaac continues to smash the trophy and yelling]
Gus: "An Imperial Affliction"
Hazel: Yes. I'm so glad that you liked it.
Gus: Yes, I did. But the ending.
Hazel: I…I know, it is rather abrupt.
Gus: Rather abrupt? Are you kidding? It's evil! I mean, I understand that she dies, but there's…there's an unwritten contract between author and…
[Isaac interrupts him as he picks up another one of Gus's trophies to break] I snorted.
Isaac: Gus?
Gus: Yeah?
Isaac: Cool?
Gus: Sure.
[Suddenly Isaac throws the trophy to the ground smashing it, Gus looks back to Hazel]
Gus: …between author and reader. And I feel like ending your book in the middle of a sentence sort of violates that contract, don't you think?
[in the background Isaac continues to smash the trophy and yell]
Isaac: Always! Always!
Hazel: Okay. Yes, I…I know what you mean, but to be completely honest, I think that it's just so truthful. You know? You just die in the middle of life. You die in the middle of a sentence. And, I don't know. But I really would like to know what happens to the rest of them, you know, to everyone after Anna dies.
Gus: Like Anna's mother.
Hazel: Yes. And The Dutch Tulip Man…
Gus: And Sysiphus the Hamster.
Hazel: Yes!

I pulled out my earphone and leaned forward to press pause on the DVD player (it was imbedded in the wall in front of us). Penny pulled out her earphone, confusion written clearly across her face and I smiled "You know the convention coming up in a few weeks that we're going to?"

She nodded and I continued "Well, as you already know, Shailene Woodley, and Ansel Elgort are going. However, I recently found out that Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr, Cobie Smulders AND Clark Gregg are also going."

We squealed with excitement written all over our faces. Penny's smiled grew even wider "Are you being completely serious?"

"Yes."

She squealed again "This is going to be so great!"

I nodded then I had an idea "Hey, why don't we go look at the view from the door? And aren't we supposed to be landing soon? If we are, we should be able to see some sign of civilisation below us if we concentrate!"

We got up and walked on shaky feet – sitting in a cramped position for that long does tend to give you shaky feet when you finally get up. When we reached the door our breath was taken away, it was so beautiful.

We were above a cloud and all around us was a sea of white fluffiness. The sky was such a clear blue and all was silent apart from our airplane engine. I sighed, it was so peaceful

"Hey Grant!"

"Yeah?"

"Come look at this, it's amazing!"

Penny smiled at me, she was probably thinking that I was gonna start tolerating Grant's annoying behaviour. But no, I actually had a plan under my sleeves. If he saw the peacefulness up here, maybe when he was getting angry at his game he would think of the view here and maybe -

He stood next to me "Yeah? So what? It's just the sky, nothing much more. Anyway –"

BANG! The sound echoed throughout the plane and my father's voice came over the PA system "Does anyone know what the heck that was?"

My stomach came to my throat as I felt the plane start to go down. Instinctively I grabbed Penny while Grant grabbed onto me and pushed us to the floor of the plane.

"Mayday! Mayday! This is aircraft TS 87095. Something has just blown up, I repeat, something has just blown up. We are going down!"

"Aircraft TS 87095 you are ordered to go through with procedure – "

The line was cut dead and static was all that could be heard. I whimpered and both Grant and Penny hugged me tight, my father's voice came over the PA system

"Good luck to you all and may god save our souls! We are now at 2000ft and are expected to crash land within half a minute." He paused and took a deep breath "I love you Martha."

Martha is my mother and now I wonder if I'll ever hear her voice again. I snuggled deep into the arms of Penny and Grant. I turned my face to Grant and whispered "I love you." He mouthed the words back and I snuggled my face into Penny's chest as Grant hugged my back tightly.

I screamed as the impact of hitting the ground threw me to the other side of the airplane – not far, but very frightening. Pain coursed its way through my body and I groaned as I rolled over. I opened my eyes – I didn't know they were closed – and squinted as I adjusted to the bright sun of America.

"Alberta?"

I rolled my head sideways and saw Grant looking at me; he was also lying on the ground. "Grant. Are you ok?"

He shook his head "I don't know. You?"

"I don't know." Then I laughed "How helpful we both are."

Grant managed a smile as I sat up and looked around. The plane wreckage was about five metres away. I began to crawl towards it and behind me I could hear Grant following me. An arm stuck out from a gap in the shell of the plane. I grabbed the arm and pulled on it, trying to get it out of the wreckage. "Grant?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you help me move the piece of metal covering this person?"

"Yeah sure." We placed our hands firmly under the piece of wreckage and lifted it with shaking hands; our muscles quivering from the shock of the crash. I saw Penny's unconscious – I hoped she was just unconscious – form and hastily put down the wreckage, leaving Grant on his own. Shaking her shoulders, I watched as her eyes opened and she croaked out "Al? Is that you? Grant?"

I nodded as tear sprung to my eyes. Gently, I lifted her to her feet and she gave Grant a squeeze. We were all shaking – whether it be adrenaline or genuine cold. Nearby we could hear the sound of sirens coming closer. Doors slammed and someone grabbed my shoulders, leading me to the back of an ambulance. Bewildered, I spoke "Who are you?"

The woman looked at me pityingly "Agent Hill, of SHIELD."

Agent Hill placed me on a bed in the back of the vehicle and I spoke again "What's happening?"

She strapped herself into the seat beside me "Miss Kennedy, you are all in a bad situation and SHIELD is taking you to one of our special medical facilities. If you were not at the celebrity status you currently hold, you would be taken to a normal facility. Your brother and friend will also be taken with you."

I nodded, a sudden wave of exhaustion came over me and I shut my eyes, welcoming the peace.
