Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning to sun streaming through my window. I checked my phone for the time. 8:32 am. Today was the day! I jumped out of bed and pulled on my bath robe. My hair was a mess and I hadn't brushed my teeth, but I ran out of my room and down the hall. I flew into the living room where I found Patzy sitting on the couch chatting with my mom.

"What's going on? Why are you here?" I asked, shocked.

"Well, your mom called me and suggested that I come over to say goodbye." She explained. "And I'm going to the airport with you to send you off."

"No way!" I exclaimed. I jumped onto the couch and sat down next to her.

"Do you girls want breakfast?" Wayne yelled from the kitchen. "I'm making waffles."

"Of course!" We answered in unison.

"But I think I should brush my teeth first." I told Patzy. We both got up and she followed me into my room.

Patzy helped me pick out a comfortable outfit for the flight. I took them into the bathroom and changed. I brushed my teeth and pulled my messy blonde hair into a ponytail. I exited the bathroom to find Patzy lying on my bed. When she sat up, I could see the tear in her eye.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing," she said as she flicked the tear way. "I just, I'm gonna miss you."

"I know. But I wont be gone forever. Just a few months. And I can text you and call you."

"Okay." She jumped up and gave me a huge hug.

We walked into the kitchen where four plates were set on the table, each with two waffles stacked on them. Wayne and my mom were seated on one side of the table so Patzy and I took the seats across from them. We ate in silence. Once we were done, we all washed the dishes together and put them up.

"Alright, your flight leaves at 12:15." My mom said. "It will take about an hour to get to the airport and we want to get there way before. It's 9:30 now so we should leave in about thirty minutes."

We all agreed.

Wayne loaded my suitcase into the back of our car while I looked around my room to make sure I had everything I needed. I made sure to grab my phone and ear buds. Then I turned out the lights and shut the door. I wasn't going to be back in that room for about eight months. I carried my backpack into the living room where my mom and Patzy were waiting. We headed out to the car. Once we were all in, Wayne started the car and we pulled out of the driveway. I watched as the house disappeared behind us. Eight months. I wouldn't be back for eight months.

As we drove, I began to felt nervous. How would John react when I introduced myself? How would I introduce myself. Will he like me? My mom kept talking from the passenger seat, but I wasn't listen. The car ride seemed to take forever, but we finally made our way to the city. We got to the airport and found a spot to park. Wayne grabbed my suitcase and I got my back-pack. We entered the airport and it was super busy.

Mom got my ticket and she gave it to me. It was around 11:00 so I had a little time before I had to board the plane. We all said our goodbyes. Patzy gave me a huge hug and I promised to text her. Wayne gave me a hug and told me he loved me. Next, my mom hugged me and kissed my forehead. I could tears streaming down her face.

"Promise me you'll call as soon as you land. And if there's a problem, find a hotel and catch the first flight back here."

"I know, Mom. I will."

"Alright. I just want you to be safe. Be careful. I love you so much."

"I love you too.

Then I left them. I watched them wave goodbye as I walked away. I went through all the airport security and finally boarded the plane with my backpack slung over my shoulder. I was one of the first people on the plane. I quickly found my seat. The rest of my row was empty but I figured that wouldn't last long. I was right. Right before the gates were closed. A young boy, about my age, and his father boarded. They were out of breath probably from running to catch their flight. They sat in the two seats next to me. I thought about introducing myself to the boy now sitting in the next seat over, but he was breathing heavy and I didn't think he'd feel like talking right then. So I buckled my seat belt and sat quietly. The plane took off soon after and there was no going back. I was on my way to London about to meet my father.
