Selena~

I adjusted my side bag as sprinted down the airport aisles. Seat J-7 on Flight 142. I had to find this damn plane before it departed. Because of Hunter and I's little goodbye fiasco; I was almost late for the plane.

I paced myself down to see a long ass line for Flight 142. Ugh, why does the universe have to hate Selena Gonzalez today ?? Well, not completely hate; I did get a goodbye kiss- but that's not the point. I was really gonna miss Hunter the whole time I was gonna be away from him. He was gonna be going to bed when I was just waking up. I was gonna be eating dinner when he was gonna be eating breakfast. I don't know how we're going to make this long distance thing work.

Five minutes passed and I'd only moved a step. Literally a step. What the hell was taking so long ?? I arched my head past all the people in line to see an old Asian lady flight attendent checking the flight tickets. She had glasses the size of lunch trays and was still squinting to read the ticket names. I think it's time for someone to retire.

For some reason my ticket decided to slip out of my hand onto the ground. I groaned out in frustration and bent over to pick it up. But in the middle of me bending over a massive body collided face first; headbutting them in the stomach. We both went down with a crash. Their huge gargantuon body overlapping mine, literally crushing me.

"Get off of me !" I yelled in disgust. I felt sweat trickle onto my face, which evidently wasn't my sweat.

I shoved the person off of me; making another loud crash. To my surprise a brunette, blue eyed Neanderthal type woman had fell onto me; her back was moist and full of sweat. Her arms weren't that appealing either; it looked like a gorilla's snotty nose all hairy. His arm sweat glissened in the airport halfy working lightbulbs. I think I'm gonna vomit. She looked like a brown haired Hulk Hogan; she wore a blue bandana like a Crip, a sleeveless white top with shorts. Why would she want to wear that, when you know it's the damn winter time.

"Who are yelling at ?!?" her voice boomed through the airport. She sounded like a man too...

"Calm down, look let's just settle this." I tried to reason with the man- I mean woman but it didn't work.

"YOU NEEDA WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING !!" she shoved me making me fall to the ground. I heard the line gasp as everyone's eyes piercing into me. I felt my blood boil in anger. My fist were already balled up into bolders of Whoop Dat Ass. Before I could pounce up and scratch her eyes out sudden footsteps blocked my train of thought. The footsteps stopped dead in front of me and She-Hulk.

A white guy with deep dark tar colored hair glared at She-Hulk; his brown eyes looked like daggers. They looked like they were mentally piercing into She-Hulk. He glanced back down at me and his eyes softened up a bit. He stuck out his hand to help me up and handed me my ticket. I caught a better glimpse at him and realized he looked like he was straight off of Tumblr.

He wore a black beanie over his dark black hair that read, "Drank". He had little gauges in this earlopes and a big gold chain. He (wanted to appearently) buttoned up his polo all the way up to his neck; the shirt had a repeated design that said "Fuck You" all over it. This guy had tattoos all over his neck and arms; just painting his skin. His thick eyebrows rose up like he was trying to ask if I was okay. I nodded and rubbed my arm; there's definitely gonna be a bruise there.

"You for one don't need to be pushing you Dimwitted Ass Gorilla" his voice stabbing into her, "Secondly, you were trying to cut in front of her. So you can suck on a dick of; get off her dick" I stifled back a laugh. She-Hulk looked pissed !! Her pale complextion when bright siren red while I saw (Which was more than humanly possible) vains pop out on her neck. She was about to snap before another voice creeped up and greeted with a pleasant tone.

"Aaaaah ! Mr.Jay !" We all stood in silence as a chubby pudgy man walked up. He had a U-Shaped receding (yes receding. I think it's not going to stop moving back) hairline with brown combed back hair. He wore a suit like all the other employees; but his was slightly different, he must be high up.

"Mr. Adams !" the guy smiled and they gave each other manly hugs.

"I heard there was an altercation; what did you do now ?" the pudgy man asked jokingly

"Well this Ape over here pushed this girl while she was trying to cut in line"

The man's eye bulged out of their sockets when he saw how big She-Hulk was. He gave her a weak guilty smile and waved indicating for both of us to follow him. I dragged my feet behind the both of them. I could feel all eyes in the line drilling into me.

You know how I am with attention.

We shimmied to the front of the line where the Asian lady was still checking tickets. She must have saw us coming because she stopped what she was doing and smiled at us. She was cheesing hard. The poor lady looked like if she smiled any harder she'd snap in two.

"Herro Mr. Adam" her strong Asian accent sluring.

"May I escort this gentlemen and lady to first class ?" he asked slowly so she could process it.

It took her a second but she nodded her head and let us pass. Before we could walk away She-Hulk stormed up to front of the line and clenched her jaw tight.

"AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE AUDACITY TO JUST, DILLY-DALLY, YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE ?!?!?" her voice booming in anger. I even flinched for a second. I thought that Mr. Adams was going to be scared too but he just laughed. The idiot just laughed. His forehead crinkled while he just laughed at She-Hulk.

"What are you a numbskull ?" she roared.

"I in fact am the numbskull that owns the airport region. I am also the numbskull that can make sure you don't have a flight today" he smirked at She-Hulk and once again waved for us to follow him.

We passed through the line of people and stepped onto the plane. A weird feeling serged into my body with chills; stepping foot onto a plane had a weird feeling to it. I've never been on a plane before but I felt a strange vibe just entering one. I could feel the *insert acceptable emotion lol* just hitting me with empahsis.

It was practically tangible.

Both him and I thanked the man and walked over to first class. The blue rough carpet making friction with my Vans as I dragged my feet to seat F-5. The guy who helped me, moved like a gentlemen and playfully bow. I just smiled and took my seat by the window while he sat at the seat next to me. We sat there awkwardly in silence until I heard him speak up.

"Hi, my name is Nathan by the way" he gave me a warm smile.

"Hi Nathan ! My name's Selena" I gave him a warm smile back.

We sat their and created small talk towards each other. He was a cool person to be honest. He made music back in his hometown, became a little star, and does gigs worldwide to make himself known. He was settling back down in his hometown to take a little break; to clear his mind a little bit.

The scraggling sound of a loud speaker blasted through the plane."Hello everyone. This is your pilot speaking; welcome to airline 142. I'd like to give a special greeting to my friend Nathan in seat F-4. He finally got a girlfriend !" My eyebrows scrunched in disgust. I have a boyfriend thank you.

"Hey screw you Rick !" Nathan laughed like I was the joke of the conversations. I cocked my head back and gave him a "WTF" look. He noticed me looking at him and he was quick to clear his name.

"No-no-no ! It's not like that Selena ! It's just Rick likes to joke around with me a lot and..." he rubbed the back of neck and tried to clear himself again. It wasn't working for this guy.

"I'm gay Selena" his voice frail. My eyes widened as it all came back to me. That's why ! I let out a reassuring oooooh and forgave him. He just smiled at my acceptability.

The air was warm and crisp. I was walking home from school with Meldin; the spring flowers were out and blossoming so we had decided to pick some for Mommy and Papi. The scenery of trees made the neighborhood even prettier; the vast variety of colors of the leaves brought comfort to any person who would drive by. It made a person just want to stop and just admire the view. God really made that place a palace.

We had stopped by a little park by the old house where none of the kids but Meldin and I would play at. The would always be little daisies shining white bright colors while there were Pasque indigo cuties that would act like the little sister of daisies; always wanting to be like the daisies. But there were also lemon yellow Forsythias scattered along side the of daisies. Their four petals always seem to bring a joy to Papi's face whenever I bring them to him. He smell them and ask us if we could smell the particular smell he smelled. He told us it smelled like a spring type of smell; warming the hearts of all who inhaled it. It would make our hearts thump faster and our pulses sky rocket.

He told us that they smelled like Love.

I never understood what he meant; not even now. But whenever Papi came home mad or angry, the next day I would go with Meldin to pick him his favorites. No matter how many time he'd take them from us, he accpet them with a smile on his face. Today we decided to go and get Papi his favorite and Mommy some pretty flowers too. The day before, at the dinner table we had sat in silence for some reason. Mommy and Papi didn't want to talk for some reason. Even at the age of 4 and 7, Meldin and I could feel the awkwardness of the table. So he had decided to ask them a question.

"Mommy, tomorrow is take-your-child-to-work day. Can we go to work with you guys ?"

Mommy at the time hadn't been able to sleep well. I used to get up to use the bathroom in the night time and she'd just be on her laptop in the kitchen. I never really knew what she doing on that laptop; she used to always seem frustrated and stressed out. But at age 7 you don't think of things too much.

She glanced up at me and gave me a weak exhausted smile, "Sure honey. You and Selena can come to work with me"

Meldin and I smiled at each other knowing how much fun we were going to have. My mom used to work at a Boy and Girls Club. We would always just come and have a ball there. After smiling and imagining the awkward tension came back. Now being the oblivious child I was I always decided to speak my mind on lots of things. My Papi used to admire that about me. And to be honest, I used to admire that about myself too. Since I was curious, I asked my mom,

"Mommy, how come we can't go to Papi's job ?"

My mother stopped picking at her broccoli and just stared at Papi. Her eyes burning in rage at Papi.

"Explain to them!"

My dad just swatted her off an rubbed his temples, "Come on not now. Not in front of the kids"

Her voice raising up at him even angrier, "Explain to your daughter why you can't take her to your job !!"

"Honey, Papi doesn't have room for you and Meldin at work tomorrow" he ruffled my hair and gave me a half smile.

"NO ! The real reason Jose ! You can't just sugar things and expect it all to go fine !"

"Can we discuss this later; when we're not in front of the kids ?"

"God dam- I'm sick and tired of your bullshit Jose ! I should have gotten that divorce when I had to chance"

"Why do you always want to do this ?"

"You better straighten up or- so help me God, I will take my children away from-"

Papi's eyes that were once so calm and peacefully green now infuriated and enraged. I'd never seen this type of anger from him. He'd always been the peace loving man; but now he'd broken my comfort zone for him.

"Don't you dare take my children away from me !! I promised that nobody is going to harm this family. And I will keep that promise" he pounded his fist against the glass table. He made both Meldin and I quiver in fear.

Meldin ducked from him and came running to me. I grabbed a hold of him and made comforting circles on his back. Neither him nor I deserved to sit through this. I felt the lump in my throat expand while tears and wails came out. My vision blurred even more than it naturally did. I clutched Meldin's hand and darted towards our rooms. I just locked the door and comforted my crying baby brother while I had to stifle back tears; to be the big sister of the situation.

From the outside of the door I could still here their thundering voices nearly breaking the walls down. Before I'd go to sleep, I'd always hear faint noises of voices thinking it was TV, but I now know it was nothing else but my two own parents.

After a couple hours of them yelling and such, Meldin and I had fallen asleep. Something had told me to wake up in the right moment. My eyes still sleepily droopy, scanned the room trying to remember how I'd gotten there. It all sunk back to me remembering the fiasco that had happened hours ago. It finally dawned on me that Meldin and I never gave him the flowers and card we made for Papi and Mommy. I searched the room for where I'd put Papi's flowers and card; just to cheer him up after arguing with Mommy. I'd finally found them laying on the nightstand, grabbed them, and trotted out of the room to see if they were still at the table.

The living room was vacant.

I creaked my head back in the room to see the alarm clock saying 1:28 am. Why was I awake at this time, I have no idea, but something was telling me to search for Papi. Out of all nights that spring, that night seemed the coldest. My arms had goosebumps trailing up it, I had to scatter my way through the dark with only the light of the kitchen. I heard a noise in the kitchen and decided to check and see what it was. Papi was getting some papers off of the kitchen table. He'd looked up in awe and utter confusion to see me up this late. His eyes droopy and restless.

"Selena. What are you doing up Mi Amor ?" he walked over and bent down to my level.

"I wanted to give you something Papi" I whispered. I lifted up to him the flower and the card. He smelt the flowers and opened the card. I had drawn a portrait of him and I holding hands and a big heart in the middle. I'd written, "Best Dad In The World".

"I love it Selena" he kissed my forehead and stood up. Tears falling down his face. I frowned and went up to comfort him.He smiled at me, his lips quivering and shaking while reading it. He leaned in and gave me a hug. His emphasis on the hug made it seem different to me; like he wanted to bring a point across.

"I wanted to give it to you and Mommy. But you guys were arguing. Please don't argue anymore Papi" He swallowed and hugged me tighter. He stroked my hair and just let the teardrops trail down his face.

"That's the last time Mommy and I will argue Mija" I looked up at him

"Really ??"

He gave me a warm reassuring grin and nodded, "Yes Selena"

He turned around and started walking towards the door.

"Where are you going Papi ?" I pondered innocently.

A tear going dowin his left cheek but was still smiling, "To set things straight Mi Amor"

"Are you coming back ?"

"I'll be back eventually Selena"

I made a cutesy mad joking face. He laughed at my silliness. "You promise ?"

His lips quivered as he spewed out, "I promise"

He turned around and blew me a kiss. He mouthed the words "I promise" and shut the front door behind him. I just smiled and walked back over to the bedroom. I gentily flopped back down on the bed and drifted back to sleep.

{A/N Keep in mind that at the age of 7; you're obviously not going to know what the word "Eventually" means}

The next morning I'd been estatic to see Mommy and Papi at the table getting along again but my hopes were crushed when I woke up to see Mommy crying at the table. I'd rushed over to her aid. I wanted to know what's wrong with her; she was usually a soldier but she'd softened up and broke down in front of me. Meldin trailing right behind me to comfort Mommy.

"Mommy what's wrong ?" I pleaded her to answer but she just kept crying. She wouldn't stop letting the tear stream down her face

"Meldin go get Papi in the room !" I demanded but Mom quickly cut the idea off. She straightened her posture and cleared her throat.

"Selena Papi's not in the room" she muttered out

I was confused Papi said he was coming back eventually "Is he in the bathroom Mommy ?"

She shook her head, "Look Selena, Papi's not here"

"W-well, when is he coming back Mommy ?"

"Selena, Papi's not coming back. Papi's gone forever."

My whole body went numb, everything around me slowed down with all the other things surrounding me. From my head, to my lips, to my heart, everything went cold. I stood there in utter confusion. Papi's words, "I promise" echoed throughout my mind. It was all a lie. Papi wasn't coming back. If I hadn't brought up the question of his job and made them argue; Papi would still be here. My whole world, one of the main reasons I was the cheery girl I was, was gone forever.

And it was all my fault.

"Selena !" screamed a voice in the distance.

"Selena ! Selena come back to me now !"

I flustered my eyes open to blurely see Nathan looking worriedly at me. I scattered my hands around the airplaned seat until I felt my glasses. I slipped them onto my face and the world cleared back up to me.

"Selena you were crying and talking in your sleep ?" his voice sincere and concerened, "Are you okay ?" I nodded my head and felt a tear trickle down my face. I didn't even realize I was crying until Nathan told me. The day Papi left always replayed in my mind. It was stuck in my mind like a disease. You tried so hard to get rid of it but you just didn't have enough will power.

The loud speaker buzzed again and the pilots voiced echoed through the plane, "Hello all Passangers. This is your Pilot speaking. We are now about to land. Thank you for taking your trip to Crowle, England and have a blessed day !"

I guess this was it; England was now my new home for a month.
