The Hurt Within

New York

Adam and I finally got to the airport. The drive was less peaceful as Greg wasn't too happy about it. I felt Adam's hand in the backseat touch mine and felt instantly calm. It's like he knew when I needed him or when I felt nervous or uncomfortable. I just hoped New York wasn't going to trigger me and make me go backward from where I am now. 

"Have you got everything?" Susan asked 

"Yes, I do" I answered 

"Remember to call me when you land, Skye" Susan said

"I will, I promise," I replied 

"Adam?" Greg asked

Uh oh

"Yes, sir" Adam answered

"One stuff up and this whole thing is over, got it?" Greg said

"Greg!" I said with my hands crossed

"I'm just saying" Greg replied

"It's okay Greg, you have my word. There will be no stuff ups" Adam said

"Good" Greg replied

"If anything happens, no matter what time it is, please call me," Susan said

"You're both so negative," I said

"They are just worried about you, Skye" Adam replied

"Be safe sweetie" Susan said

"Where is Daniel?" I asked 

"He felt a little sick this morning," Susan said

"Is he okay?" I asked

"Um - " Susan replied but got cut off by Greg

"He is just coming down with a cold" Greg continued

"Okay, give him a hug for me" I replied

"I'll see you Sunday night, sweetie," Susan said

"Okay" I replied

"Come here give me a hug," Susan said

Susan took a grip on me when hugging me like she thought she'd never see me again. I was only going for a night and it wasn't going to be long until I saw her again. Maybe she was scared that what happened there would happen to me. I could understand it and I was even nervous about it. 

"Bye, Greg!" I said

"Be good, Skye. I mean it" Greg replied

"Trust me for once," I said

"I'm trying" Greg replied

"Don't worry. I'll take care of her" Adam said

"Bye Susan, Bye Greg," Adam said

"Bye! Stay safe!" Susan said 

We walked inside the terminal and gave our bags to the reception desk, but no one else was lined up there. We went into a room to wait to board our plane, yet there were 10 people there. All looking posh. Maybe we were at the wrong place? Until someone came up to Adam and said that the plane was ready to board. I thought that came over the speaker?

"What the hell is this" I asked while we walked outside onto the tarmac 

"It's a plane?" Adam replied, "You know you fly in the air?" 

"I know, but a private plan!" I said

"Uh - my parents own this plane" Adam replied

I was shocked. Adam's parents are so rich they own their plane. I was way out of my depth.
