As the yellow cab pulled up to the Jacksonville Airport I suddenly started to regret about calling and asking Charlie if I could live with him. One being the fact that now I was going to be stuck in a house with two men. Second being that Emmett played football and, to be honest, all sports players scared me and, just like Phil, had very short tempers. I was interrupted in my thoughts by the cab driver stopping the car and saying in a flat voice "We're here Miss. That will be 25.34." I quickly grabbed my purse and dug out 26 and handed it to the man, not waiting for my change. I hopped out and went to grab my suitcase out of the trunk with my one good hand, but was surprised when the cab driver got it out for me and set it on the curb.

I smiled and said "Thank you."

And he returned with a "Uh-hu" and got back in the cab and drove off.

I walked up to the ticket desk to purchase my ticket. I waited in line for 10 minutes before it was my turn and when I finally got up to the desk, the lady asked for my ID, which she looked down at me and said "I can not let you buy this ticket on your own. You will have to have a person over the age of 18 buy it for you." and then sent me to the back of the line.

With this new hitch in my plans I had to think fast if I was going to make the flight I wanted. I decided with the 24 dollars I had left, I would try and pay someone to buy my ticket for me. So I glanced around the airport and found a girl who looked about 19 and like she was on her way to or from college and would gladly accept my offer. So after finally gathering up some courage, I walked over to her. She smiled at me as I walked over I looked at her making good eye contact before opening my mouth. I decided the best way to do this was just to get it over with. So finally I said " Hi Miss, I am going to see my dad and my mom, but I seem to have misplaced the ticket information and now I have to buy another ticket. You see, my mom is not here and the lady at the counter will not let me buy a ticket unless someone over 18 buys it for me, so I was wondering if I paid you 24 if you would buy mine for me and obviously I would pay for the ticket." I knew this was a complete lie, but that it would get me what I wanted much faster and easier.

She pondered this idea for a moment and then sweetly smiled at me "Okay..."

Really was that it? Just okay…? Not wanting to scare her off by looking dumbfounded, I quickly went back to the ticket line where it was now only five minutes long.

Once I finally got my ticket, I hurried off to go though security and find my gate. My gate to freedom... or at least I hoped it would be my gate to freedom. As I approached gate 23, a smile grew on my lips knowing that I was safe from Phil and that I would never see him again. As I got to the gate, the plane was already boarding so I handed the stewardess my ticket and boarded the plane. I got to my seat and realized it was a window seat and panic took over me. I had never been on a plane before, but I knew that looking out that window and seeing how high off the ground I was would surely send me into a panic attack. Before I could get up to ask for my set to be changed, an overweight man, in about his late 40's, early 50's, sat down next to me. I gulped knowing I could not ask this man to move so I could get out, so I closed my eyes and tried to find my happy place.

I was suddenly shaken from my happy place as the loud speaker came on over head and the stewardesses came out holding life-vest. Then the flight attendant continued to go on about what to do if the plane crashed and hearing all this was sending me into a mini panic attack. I could not understand how the Government or any human being would put another human being in a unsafe big metal shell that might crash once I was 10,000 ft or more above the ground. I decided that if I listened any longer I would have a breakdown, so I pulled out my I-pod and put in my ear bubs and turned the volume as high as it could go. I then closed my eyes and tried to picture being in my happy place, a peaceful meadow where the grass was green and the sun shone bright. But once again, I was disrupted from my happy place, but this time from the plane shaking. Thinking Oh no! this is the end! I pulled my knees to my chest and pulled my headphones out my ears only to hear the loud speaker come on and say…..

I know you're probably mad at me for the cliff hanging ending but I will be updating soon so you will know soon enough what happened to Bella or the plane. So send me your guesses.
