A Fairy Tale Ending - Chapter 15

(Bethany's POV:)

"Benny?" I asked uncertainly.

We sat in an airplane, side by side, in one of the cramped aisles.

"Hmm?" he asked, but he looked really distracted, apparently something was on his mind....I wonder what.

He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed.

"Why are we going to Florida?" I asked quietly, and I may have been too quiet...since the rest of the plane was soo loud. But, he must have heard me...

"To have fun of course, hit the beaches, shop, that kind of stuff. But, really, baby, I just need to think..." he turned to face the window, since he has the window seat. I frowned deeply because I didn’t know he was going to be like this... all I wanted to do was talk to him! But, NOO, he doesn't want to. Ugh.

"Fine." I said shortly, and turned in my seat to face an elderly man who was leaning against what appeared to be his wife and sleeping. He looked so peaceful, and he also looked like he had a hard life. Wrinkles ran all over his face, and he had some scars on his hands, neck, and cheeks. I wonder what happened to him...

"Bethany?" Benny asked about an hour later, but I had my eyes closed and was pretending to sleep. I know, immature, right? But I don’t want to talk to him. Not if he doesn’t want to talk to me.

"Bethany!" he said a little bit louder, but I stayed still, facing the old man and his wife.

"Beth!" he called impatiently....

Ugh, I am SO not talking to him. He is acting like a jerk....well, okay, he kinda isn't, but I still dont want to say anything to him. Uh, I'm such a child!

"UGH! Fine! DONT talk to me...I couldn’t care less." but the tone of his voice told different than his words. He obviously cared, but should I turn around and talk to him....?

"Really, I couldn’t...." he shifted in his seat and faced the window again. I sighed deeply, and cautiously turned to face him.

"Beth?" he turned again towards me, and a nervous smile peeked out from his lips.

"Yes?" I questioned, even though I still didn’t want to talk to him...okay, I totally do! But....I can’t let HIM know that.

"I just wanted to say that we'll be landing shortly..." with that he twisted towards the window sullenly, and left me sitting there with a stupid look on my face. Really, WHAT just happened.....?

I watched as the old man jerked in his sleep.

That was the first time I had a good glance at his wife. She looked like she hated the guy! What? Maybe they're not spouses, but they must be related! It just looks like it. Wait, is she looking at me!

She IS!

She's staring at me with an ugly face....

"Um. Miss? I'd sure like it if you'd stop looking at me like that." but she paid no hede to my concern, she just kept on doing what she was doing! Ugh, this lady is getting on my nerves. I took a glance back at Benny, who was staring out the window with glassed over eyes.

(Benny's POV:)

Why didn’t I tell her! Why didn’t I just say that Justin called me while I was in the bathroom at my house packing! Why couldn't I just admit that he was sending someone to follow us! Why couldn’t I? Oh my god...I'm probably making Bethany mad....maybe I should talk to her.

I shook my head and twisted in my seat to look at Bethany.

"Beth? What's the matte?" I asked cautiously, she's staring straight in front of her into the seat....she looks like she's seen a ghost.

"N-nothing." she stuttered quietly.

"Yes, something!"

"No, really, Benny. I'm fine, don't worry about me." she said in such a small, tiny, voice that made me just want to pull her into my lap and hug her...she just sounded so scared....or maybe surprised....I don’t know, I'm not good at reading her bad moods...only her good ones.

I just looked at her, then gently placed a hand on her arm. She trembled. What's wrong with her? You'd think she just saw her dead her dead grandfather!

She suddenly leaned closer, and on impulse I leaned back...but quickly reassembled myself so I was very close to her.

"Benny?" she whispered very very softly.
"Yes?" I said back, loudly though.
"Shh, that lady can't hear me...she won't stop staring, so I told her to stop, and she just kind of looked at me funny. Than she said that she'd kill me! Oh, my, god..." her voice kind of squeaked when she said the old lady'd kill her.

I looked past her to the old grandmother lady. Boy is she ugly! She has scars all over her face, and she's simply GLARING at Bethany...woah. What's HER problem.

"Lady. Lady." I yelled louder, waving in front of her face, maybe she's deaf! And all she did was stare from Bethany to me...

What is up with that freaky lady!

God, I practically flew off that plane when we reached the airport! That lady really creeped my out....

Eh.

Bethany and I called for a Taxi on her cellphone and when the Taxi arrived I told him to drive us to a random hotel...

.............................................................................................................................

Got any ideas on how their first night in a hotel should end up? Cuz I really have NO clue...

Sorry it's so short....oh, and that freaky lady...well, lets just say she ain't nice....

Buh-bye,
Megan
