We left an hour earlier, there would be a storm tonight and bad weather was coming that would interrupt our flight, he didn't want it to be cancelled.

"Are sure it's a good idea to leave today? You know we can always go tomorrow or another day," I query, suddenly shivering remembering that it is one of these storm that killed my father when he was still a pilot

"Nothing is going to happen before 12 am so we need to hurry and I hate to change things at the last minute." He was so determined that even if there was a storm now, he would force us to go.

Two minutes later, Kevin and Edna arrived with their luggage.

"So people off to the Bahamas," Kevin says, already going to the checkpoint.

"I have this uneasy feeling in my chest." I muttered and Leon heard me

"Don't tell me you are afraid of planes."

"It's not that I just...ugh never mind," I say, deciding that maybe I am being too childish for this is, afterall, the first time I am boarding a plane.

In the plane I sat with Leon obviously and he completely ignored me.

I stared ahead wondering what to do, when an air hostess said "Please miss, can you fasten your seat belt?"

"Oh sure I almost forgot" I say, removing my embarrassment before Leon glances at me.

"You are acting weird today but if your plan is to intimidate me, you are not succeeding."

"Don't worry I'm not planning any of that either."

"Very well the flight will take 3 hours so I would advise you to take a nap." He advises. With nothing else to lose I made myself comfortable in my seat and within minutes I was fast asleep.

From the hour that I slept I dream of my father smiling at me then I wake up to find the whole place in chaos.

"What's going on?" I ask Leon and noticed that a woman in front of me is crying.

"We are having a turbulence," he says calmly as if nothing is happening before I could say anything else the pilot's voice comes in:

"Dear passengers, try to calm down this is a normal thing nothing will happen---"

He was interrupted by the sound of an explosion and the plane went wild. So this is how I die? With everyone screaming and the hostess trying to keep people calm?

I look outside and see that one of the wings has caught fire and I immediately understand why I had a bad feeling about boarding this plane.

Nervously, I look besides me I see Leon sitting calmly

"Hello! Are you even here?"

"What do you want me to do? To cry? To stop this plane or to perform some kind of magic?" He asks, irritated.

"Sorry," I mutter. He was the wrong person to seek comfort from.

"Don't be, besides you should be praying right? Like everyone else."

"I don't even have the energy."

"Well that makes two of us," He says. We stay silent until I know that there is nothing to do but to wait so I say a silent prayer hoping my mom will get over my death. Then we hit the ground, the plane lurching forward sending everyone out of their seats as the screaming increases.

The next thing I know Leon is gripping my hand tight as the pilot's cabin explodes in front of our eyes. The last thing I remember was seeing Leon pulling me to a standing position and leading me to I don't know where then I blacked out.
