More Protective Colby

Soulmate

Sam and Colby were on a very long flight back to LA. They had been away, filming for a secret project, and were eager to get back home. They settled into their seats. Sam laid his head back against the headrest of the seat.

"Dude, I swear to god, if you start whistling, I will slap you," laughed Colby.

"I can't help it," laughed Sam.

The pilot came over the speaker system in the plane to let them know that LA was calling for bad weather, but that they were still going to try to arrive at LAX at the scheduled time.

Sam pulled his phone out of his pocket and proceeded to text Kat, he told her they were boarded and that they were scheduled to leave soon, followed by an "I Love You" with a heart and kissy emoji.

"Awwww," said Colby. "Simp."

"You know it's impolite to read over someone's shoulder like that," laughed Sam.

"Whatever," laughed Colby.

Sam and Colby had attempted to get some sleep; it was a very late flight. They had slept most of the way, when the pilot suddenly came over the system again.

"Ladies and Gentleman," said the pilot. "I just wanted to let you all know that due to weather conditions, we may experience some turbulence upon our descent to LAX, but not to worry, it should be a smooth landing once we reach a lower altitude."

The announcement had made both of them stir in their sleep, but the major turbulence is what finally jolted them awake. When the pilot said turbulence, he meant it, the plane was shaking all over. Sam and Colby both gripped their arms rests at the same time, accidently grazing each other's hands at the same time. They looked at each other and quickly pulled away.Suddenly, a weird rattling started coming from the plane, a rattling that didn't sound at all normal. The plane shook vigorously and the oxygen masks fell down from above them.

The pilot came over the speaker, trying to stay calm, but panic evident in his voice. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this descent may be rockier than expected, please stay calm and assume the appropriate position."

Sam and Colby got into the position, the one they had seen a thousand times at the beginning of every airline flight. Colby stole a glance at Sam beside him, as they heard the small cries and panicked voices of the other passengers.

"Everything is gonna be fine Colby," said Sam. "We're gonna be alright."

Sam didn't care that he was out of position, he shot his hand out and Colby grasped it tightly. The plane continued to shake as the plane made its descent.

"Everyone brace for impact!" said the pilot over the speaker, as several panicked screams echoed through the plane.

"I love you Sam!" shouted Colby.

They squeezed each other's hands tightly as the plane roughly hit the runway and they were jerked forward. The braced for the impact, but it never came. Sam had his eyes squeezed shut, he slowly opened them and looked up, out his window. He saw the runway stretching for miles and LAX in the distance.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Los Angeles, current time is..." the speaker said. Were they serious!!??

The plane slowed down and came to a slow stop as it reached the terminal. All of the passengers were very shaken up, a few stayed behind to talk to the flight attendants and the pilots to discuss the situation. Sam and Colby, however, like many other people, just wanted off that plane, as soon as possible.

Sam followed quickly behind Colby, trying to keep up with him as he walked with his bag quickly through the airport.

"Colby, wait up," said Sam. Colby didn't answer, he kept on walking.

When Sam finally caught up to him, he put his hand on Colby's shoulder, and Colby turned to face him.

Sam hesitated. "Did you mean what you said back there?" he asked. "That you loved me?"

Colby looked at him blushing. "Yeah, I did," said Colby.

Sam smiled lovingly at him. "Who's simping now?"

"Shut the hell up!" said Colby, as he and Sam made their way towards their baggage.

Colby now realised what people meant in movies by "famous last words." He finally had the answer to the question "What would you say in your last moments?" They say people tend to think of their soulmate in their last moments. Before, Colby didn't believe them, but now, he was starting to think those people were right.
