Consequences

A Special Christmas

12/22/2015

I ran with my suitcase at the airport, trying desperately to follow Shawn in the huge hall. Our flight to Miami was in less than an hour and we didn't even register ourselves. I ended up by stopping running and I put my hands on my knees. My roommate turned his head and sighed when he saw that I was no longer following him.

" Come on, we're gonna miss the plane!"

" I don't have your legs Canada, if you're not happy, just go by yourself!"

He snorted and made his way toward me.

" Yeah sure and what am I gonna tell my dad in the car if you miss the plane? They're probably more excited to see you than me, their own child."

He didn't let me answer him and lifted my small body to put me in his back. I gasped by surprise and circled my legs around him to not fall.

" What the hell are you doing Shawn? "

" We'll be faster that way Cuba."

He grabbed my suitcase on his other hand and began to run.

I would never tell him but if he didn't put me in his back, we probably would never catch the plane on time.

I put on my headphones and began looking for good music on my phone when I felt someone staring at me.

" What?"

" Are you serious when you're using your phone on a plane?"

I rolled my eyes and glanced at Shawn.

" We didn't even move yet, chill..."

He grabbed my phone and managed to took off the battery, my eyes widened and I raised my brow.

" The pilot is probably already talking with the control tower, I'm not dying today because of you."

I sighed.

" You're just paranoid dude."

He shrugged and looked at the window, leaning slightly on me since I had the seat near it.

" Whatever, I'm giving you back the battery when we'll be in Miami."

I sighed and looked around me. The plane was pretty full, it was just logical given that Christmas was only in two days. I ended up picking out my notebook from my travel bag and wrote down some ideas, lyrics, words. But after half an hour, I just got bored. We were already in the air, I glanced at my roommate, he was doing his homework, as always. He eventually noticed my gaze and turned his head to look at me.

" What's your problem?"

" I'm bored."

He raised a brow and looked again at his paper.

" So?"

I sighed and moved a little bit closer to him to see what he was doing. It seemed to be biology.

" So entertain me, can I help you with this?"

He snorted and shook his head.

" A couple of years ago I literally struggled to explain to you how human's heart is working and you think you can help me with a biology exercise made for medicine students? "

" Well put like that... "

" Just sleep, it's 5 am and I don't think Sophia or even Aaliyah will let you rest today. "

I groaned.

" I can't sleep while sitting, I've never been able to do that... "

" Camila you could dance in the pilot's cabin for all I care, just shut up, I really need to do that right now. "
