It's been so long. I've missed them. I've missed it. Home.
I have spent five long, isolated years away from comfort. The thought of going back; it gives me enough energy so that I could leap off a towering skyscraper into the unknown abyss below. "Please can you all put on your seat belts, we have begun our descent".
10:45am
Walking down the long, empty halls. All to be heard is a scurry of impatient footsteps; people so desperate to get back home, myself included. As we arrive at the conveyor belt- waiting for colossal suitcases, a thought comes into my head... "What if they don't want me home?" Panic. Quickly, I hoist my bag from the belt and rush into the gigantic waiting area. Little space to squeeze through; cardboard signs; people waiting for their loved ones- no one for me.
As I leave, heading towards the bus stop, in the distance a familiar voice shouts my name. "Charlie! Charlie!" A woman's voice, a sweet, chirpy and ecstatic voice. Turning around, I recognise the mysterious woman.
"Oh mum! How I have missed you!" I exclaim "I barley recognised you!" In fact, she has changed a lot since I last saw her: her once golden, shoulder-length locks are now a range of silvery grey. Her clothes. Once a shirt and skinny jeans, now a woolly sweater and an owl-patterned dress. " Not as much as you have sweetie, was it rough in there?" She sounded agitated but to stop her getting anxious, I shake my head in disagreement.
