Free Fallin’
Chapter 5
...is anyone even reading? please let me know.. i don't want to waste my time :|
We all got off the plane, when my mother, Jen, came running off the plane, happy she survived. She was always afraid of flying, and as the years went on, she just got worse and worse. Now that the plane ride was over, she felt like she could finally enjoy herself.
“Loug, who was that cutie sitting next to you on the plane?” My mother asked me.
“Ma, I’m actually surprised that you noticed where I was sitting. Don’t you have to concentrate on the flight?” I giggled. Since my mom was afraid of flying, she always felt like she had to “focus” on the plane, and by doing that, it wouldn’t crash. Yeah, don’t ask me why...
“But I honestly didn’t even catch his name..” I realized that I regretted not talking to green eyes more than I did, but I guess you can’t change the past, right?
We all began to get our luggages, and we hopped into a van to take us to the hotel for the night. Since the boat left the following day at 2, we decided to just fly in the night before, just in case. That way even if our flight was delayed, there was no way of missing the boat.
In the van, I sat by Joseph, and began talking about all the exciting features on this new boat. Over the course of the past year, Joseph has really inspired me to become a better person. He’s shown me that anything is possible, and what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. You must never give up, and always put 110% into everything you do. I loved hanging out with him, because his optimistic mood was contagious, and just being around him made me happy. Knowing that he survived brain cancer shows me that I could pretty much do anything I set my mind to.
Joseph and I spoke about how we hoped to make friends on this humongous boat, and how we planned on going to the teen clubs a few times, just to see what kind of people were going to be on the same boat as us. I heard about this cool feature, where you can go onto the computer, and speak to different people on the boat to meet new people. We agreed that we planned on doing that.
Just in time for our conversation to end, the van pulled up to the front of the Marriot hotel. It was a gorgeous hotel from the outside, but it’s too bad that i was too tired to actually care about the scenery. By the time we checked in, and brought all the luggage up to our rooms, it was 2 am! Everyone was beat from the plane ride, so we all went our separate ways for bed.
I kept tossing and turning for what seemed like hours. I couldn’t stop thinking about my future, and the thought crossed my mind of ‘what happens if I stay single for the rest of my life?’ It was a scary thought. But I guess I couldn’t be bothered with something like that now. The excitement of the boat was also getting to me. I couldn’t wait to see what the newest Carnival cruise ship looked like up close!
