A new perspective

chapter 2

   Chapter two

The storm had subsided by the time we got to the airport leaving the air relaxing and cooled. I get out of the car and gather my bags while my Aunt helps get my suitcase from the trunk.  I walked into the airport the place was huge way bigger than I have been in. The airport had a smell of heavy cleaning products and the carpet had a mint green pattern with black dots  with many windows it reminded me of a fishbowl so many could peak in from the inside just to see 

The rest of the world looking back at them. Not many people were in a rush to get their flights many sat at the bars and talked and drank. A lump formed in my throat I could feel my heart beating a little bit faster. I was worried what if the plane crashed what if I had a panic attack  I will not have anyone to help me keep grounded I was thinking this through the airport just before we got to the top of the golden-laced stairs My aunt turned to me and said 

"Listen I know you are scared and that is okay but do not forget where you come from we will be here when you come back. Your mother and Father were strong till the end and I know you are too! Now go be amazing!"

I hugged My aunt tightly

which slowly let the pressure of my anxious thoughts loosen their grip on me.

. Enough I told myself my therapist thinks this a good idea my aunt Josephine and Alex will get some time for themselves so it works for the best. Not too long before they call my flight 

“Hey, You be safe” My Aunt orders

“I will”

“Oh shoot! Your mom gave me this before she died she said was for you I figured now is a great time as any” My aunt Josephine pulls a red charmed gold chain bracelet out of her purse.

“Thank you I love it!”I hugged her tightly and she wraps me a bit tighter

“Now go or you'll miss your flight”

 I could tell that my aunt Joespine was getting ready to cry I could hear it in her voice I cannot focus on that right now I just need to make sure I am on the plane by the time it takes off. Security was mean and intimidating checking every part of my body and running my purse through the scanner 

I take my seat next to the window in what looked like first class. People kept looking at me making me feel uncomfortable the flight attendants were walking up and down the aisle making sure that the passengers were comfy. Suddenly I feel my phone buzz it was Celina Hey I will miss you but go have some fun love, Celina. I let a little smile 

escape my lips how sweet of her I hope she comes to visit. I thought I could see the clouds trying to give into the sun. It felt like forever but we were up in the air in a flash the clouds looked incredible like little pillows. I started

to think about the one time we went to Florida it was me my mother and my father we had gone to see my great aunt and the whole way there my dad was making jokes and telling me stories he knew I was scared and that was his best way of calming me down. That memory put me back in that place where I was. Before they died before these gray clouds came above our family before the flood of tears and knowing I will never see them again.

 I took out my book and began to read, something about a princess who decides to save herself from the madness in the kingdom somehow just sounded better than my story the ride from Hibbing to Cheyanne Wyoming. The princess knew how to save herself and didn't run from her problems she knew how to save herself but sadly that is something I can never do I was running from my problems I was locked in a cell with my own demons without escape. The flight was around two hours long, and from how I saw it we had just taken off I looked outside to another storm coming the black clouds and the lightning strikes coming. The book made the time pass by quicker and thoughts inside my head became quiet however they were filled with the description of the kingdom and the princess.
