Only Ocean

Part 6

Once I got my water I popped open the cap and guzzled almost half of it down. Me of course, being the clumsy fool I am, spilled some on my shirt.

"Oh no!" I said aloud.

"It's ok Darcy, accidents happen. If not for accidents you wouldn't be here!" She said grabbing a napkin and booming with laughter at her own joke. I didn't get it though...

Ginny wiped up my shirt and I thanked her before getting up to find a trash can. I set snuffy, my book and my water on my seat before standing up.

I thought about going back to Margret but I quickly decided against it. Ginny would see and I might get into trouble.

I made my way down the aisle and opened a curtain and peeked in before stepping through. I spotted a trash can at the end of the long aisle and began to start my way down. With my eyes trained on the trash, I didn't notice someone kick their leg out in front of me.

I fell flat on my face, humiliated. I looked up and saw a stupid little boy with blonde curly hair look down at me.

I didn't feel like beating the snot out of the rude prude or making an issue, so I just stood up and got really close to his dumb face.

"Try that again and you'll be face down in the latrine," I said and watched as his face went to shock.

I turned around and made my way to the trash can. But this time watching the ground carefully. I made it to the garbage and tossed away the useless napkin. I turned around just to be faced with the curly blonde butt head boy.

"What do you want?" I snapped feeling the tiredness in my eyes feel more evident.

"Help me." He said with such sudden fear I had to take it in for a second before realizing he really meant it. I was about to speak up before the plane shook forward and I fell into him.

"Woah. Are you ok." He said. But I didn't give myself time to think about cooties. Time for him to continue. The fear I felt earlier consumed me once again.

I shook my head and ran down the aisle. I swing open the curtain and the plane dropped. Warning lights went off on the walls and masks dropped from the ceiling.

This isn't happening...

I thought before I collided with the wall. Very hard.

"Darcy!!" I heard someone scream and it was Ginny. I didn't realize that everyone was screaming.

The plane dropped again and I felt arms around me and pull me into a seat.

"Darcy you're ok, it's ok. Shhhh." Ginny said in a scared voice. I could feel her shaking. Wait. No that was me. I hadn't realized that I was crying.

"I love you. I love you so much." Ginny said through cries while rubbing my head and holding me to her.

"I love you! I love you!" I screamed still balling. The plane kept dropping this time and stayed that way. Everyone's screams escalated louder than before.

"Darcy listen. You need to live put on your mask and put your head between your legs. Now." She commanded.

I nodded and she moved away pushing my mask to my face. She put hers on after making sure mine was on. She put her head down and so did I.

I wasn't ready to die! Not yet! My cries became harder until my throat hurt.

"Ginny..." I called out. No response.

And then I realized. Snuffy was gone.

That was my last thought before everyone's screams were silenced.
