Hi New Chapter

I just wanted to post this chapter because the last chapter was entirely too short for my standards. Also, I was in the mood to write, and I felt that a week was too long of a wait for with such a short chapter, so here you guys go.

Enjoy ;)

….

The drive to the airport was hard. We passed by our parents favorite restaurant they loved to go to, and we passed by the ice cream shop that my parents Caleb and I used always to go to every Sunday after church and eat banana splits and sundaes.

"Here's your stop," the cab driver says with his rough and scratchy voice.

"Thank you and here," Caleb hands the money we owe him, and we both get our stuff out of the car.

When we go into the airport building, we go through the process of the airport which means getting in line to get our suitcases checked and our bodies checked to make sure we don't have anything on us that we're not supposed to have.

After that is all over Caleb and I wait over in the seats by our gate. While we are in the seats, I see little kids running around, pulling their parents to different little food shops and souvenir shops. Some kids are playing in the play area while others are looking out of the glass window to see the plane. Meanwhile their parents are watching them making sure they don't do anything they're not supposed to.

As I watch this, I just think of how much I took advantage of my parents. I think I took advantage of them as much as I did because I never thought I would lose them I always thought nothing would ever happen to them, but now looking back, I wish I appreciated them more. I wish I said 'I love you' more to them, and I wished listened more to my father's lectures and cherished the time my mother and I had our daily girl talks. Thinking of all these thing makes a single hot tear roll down my face.

"Beatrice, please don't cry, everything is going to be alright," Caleb embraces me in a warm brotherly hug. Caleb is the only person left; I have to cherish the moments we have together before either one of us go.

"Come on a Beatrice they just called us," Caleb pulls away from the hug and looks at me sadly and gives me a kiss on the forehead making me feel safe.

I get up out of the seat and grab my suitcase and roll it inside the plane. When I get to my seat, that is luckily a window seat next to Caleb. I pick up my bag and put it in the cabinet that's above the seats and then sit down.

The pilot greets everyone and tells us that we will soon be taking off.

"Can I get you guys anything?" the cheery red-headed flight attendant asks Caleb and me with her big white smile. Doesn't she understand I don't want to be bothered with?

"No thank you," Caleb smiles back at her.

"Okay well if you need anything just call me." Then she walks away.

Sooner or later the plane starts to move, when we are up in the air, I begin to feel sick. I've never really been on a plane so you can say this is scary.

"Here chew on this," Caleb hands me a piece of gum.

"Why do I need this, does my breath stink?" I ask smelling my breath, doesn't smell that bad.

"No silly it so your ears won't be hurting later on." Caleb chuckles, this is the first time I heard that sound come from him ever since our parents died.

"Oh," I smile and pop the piece of gum in my mouth.

….

"Come on Beatrice our flight has just landed," Caleb shakes me awake.

My eyes start to slowly open Caleb is looking at me with his green eyes while I look at him with my dull blue/gray eyes. The airplane barely has anyone in it, and the people that are here are just getting their stuff from the cabinet above the seats.

I stand up and grab my bag from Caleb since he already took it out of the storage cabinet. He leads the way out of the plane and into what is now the Chicago airport building.

"Come on let's go over here." Caleb brings us to where people are holding names up looking for either family or friends.

'Jermain, Tyler, Lola, and Jonny' are just some of the names I read off of signs.

"Do you see our names anywhere?" Caleb asks me looking around.

"No," I answer him while I turn in a circle looking for our names. While in the middle of the circle I see a woman with jet black hair and tan skin, she has a lot of tattoos on both of her arms, and she probably has some more, she is holding up a white sign that reads 'Beetrix, and Jacob.'

"Caleb I think that's her." I nudge Caleb in the side and point to the woman.

"I don't know Beatrice, my name is not Jacob, and your name is not Beatrix." He lingers on the 'ee' part of 'Beetrix'.

"I know, but we don't see anybody else with our names, and also she probably spelled our names wrong on accident," I reason with him.

"Okay, but if she is not then you can't get mad when I say I told you so." He sighs and we both walk over to the woman with tattoos.

The woman looks at us as we start to walk over to her, "Are you guys Jacob and Beetrix Prior?" She asks looking at us with hope in her eyes. You can tell that she has been out here for a while.

"Well yes and no," I start off, "he's Caleb, and I'm Beatrice Prior," I say while pronouncing both Caleb and my name.

"Oh um….I'm sorry I spelled both of your names wrong um…..I'm Tori," she stutters nervously while holding her hand out Caleb grabs her hand and shakes and then I grab her hand and shake it. Boy does she have a firm grip.

"It's okay everyone make mistakes." I smile at her.

"Okay, well I know you guys were on that plane for a while, "she says, "Would you guys like anything to eat? I know a good place we can go to." She grins with her whole demeanor changed.

"Yes please," Caleb answers before I do.

"Okay well let's go." She starts to lead the way out of the airport.

Caleb and I look at each other he smiles at me and begins to follow Tori.

'Well, here's to a new beginning' and I follow both Caleb and Tori.
