Stranded

"Yep." I smile fakely.
"Sky, what are you doing here?" Harry comes down the isle.
"Going to Florida." I say and he laughs.
"Really? I would've never guessed." He chuckles.
He takes a seat along with Louis, who sends me a quick wave and smile. I take out my phone and text Em.
Hey, just got on the plane. You'll never guess what seat I got.
Em: Window?
Me: No dumbarse. First class bitchh!
Em: Whaa no way! Me; Way. But you'll never guess who I'm surrounded by right now.
Literally surrounded. Niall sat behind me and said it was so he doesn't have to share his food. Okay then?
Em: Who?
Me: One Direction. Zayn's in front of me, Louis and Harry beside me, and Niall's behind me.
Em: Oh my flubbernigeshflajfkdhgfslkjsdkfj Bro! How are you not freaking out!
Me: Easy...I control my hormones.
I take a quick selfie of Niall and I, secretly of course, and send it to her.
Em: Oh my enaldfhklsdhgklhgjfajgfjkdhshgljvfsjdkz.
Dude! Get them to say they love Emily Tanner. And get their autograph. And then stuff them in your bag until you get back, then hide them in my basement until we marry them.
Me: What the hell is wrong with you? You have to have chloroform you idiot.
Em: Oh right.
The captain starts talking saying that the doors are closed and to turn off any electronics.
Me: Hey, I gotta go. I'll call when I get there. Bye! Love you.
I turn my phone off and put it in my bag. We start to move and after a while of taxing on the runway, we take off. After a few minutes of flying, I decide to take a nap.
-
"Please stay calm. Miss. Miss." A lady's voice wakes me.
"Sky!" Another voice yells.
I come to my senses and hear everyone yelling. Where the hell am I? Oh yea, a plane. Wait, are we there?
"Miss. Please put your oxygen mask on." The flight attendant says.
I feel the plane bump and jolt. What the hell? The only time they tell us to-wait. Are we crashing?
"Left engine is down!" A guy yells from the front.
Oh my god. Oh my god. We're gonna die. I start hyperventilating and looking around for something to hold.
"Sir, get back in your seat." The lady orders.
Next thing I know, there's someone sitting next to me. I clentch onto the arm rests and force myself to look out the window. We're above water and there's black smoke coming from the engine. Oh god, we're all going to die. Lord help us!
"Sky. Look at me." A hand lays on my back. I turn and see Zayn sitting there with a face as calm as he can get it.
"Everything's going to be okay. Calm down. It's alright." He soothes. How can he be so calm, while I'm about to pass out from lack of oxygen.
I hear something crack behind me and instinctively look back. I see blue sky and water. Oh god. The whole back half of the plane is gone.
"Zayn! Buckle up!" I yell at him when I realise he doesn't have his seat belt on.
I buckle him up before he can move or say another word. I look back and check to see Niall's buckled along with Harry and Louis. Niall has the most scared face. He's holding the mask to his face as he rocks back and forth with a lifejacket on. Oh god the lifejackets.
"Harry, Louis. Get the lifejacket from under your seats and put them on." I order.
I reach under our seats and grab the two lifejackets, handing one to Zayn. He puts it on and helps me tighten mine. I sit there, still hyperventilating and looking around. This is where I'm gonna die. On a plane, sitting next to my enemy. Oh my god, what a horrible way to die!
"Sky? Sky, just breathe. It's gonna be fine." Zayn tries to calm me down.
"We're gonna die. We're gonna die." I repeat as I breath in the oxygen from the mask.
"No we're not. Sky, you're gonna live." He says, pulling me to his chest.
I sit there as tears start to fall down my cheeks. This is how I will die, in the arms of my enemy.
"I should ink my skin with your name
Take my passport out again And just replace it See I could do without a tan On my left hand Where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
I should run you a hot bath
And full it up with bubbles" He starts to sing wake me up by Ed Sheeran.
"Cause maybe you're loveable
And maybe you're my snowflake
And your eyes turn from green to grey In the winter,
I'll hold you in a cold place
And you should never cut your hair
Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder
And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up" His voice strangely calms me down a bit.
"And would you ever feel guilty If you did the same to me
Would you make me a cup of tea
To open my eyes in the right way
And I know you love-beauty and the beast-
Cause we've watched it twelve-hundred times
But maybe your hoping for a fairytale too
But if your DVD breaks today, you should've got a vcr
Cause I've never owned a blu-ray, true say" He sings. I notice the little change from shrek, to beauty and the beast. When we were little we use to watch it all the time. I can't believe he remembered.
"And I've always been shit at computer games
And your brother always beats me
And if I lost, I'd go across
And chuck all of the controllers at the tv
Then you'd laugh at me
And be asking me If I'm gonna be home next week
Then you'd lie with me
'Till I fall asleep
And flutter eyelash on my cheek
Between the sheets
And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are
To me
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up
Maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me uuuup
Maybe I fell in love
When you woke me up." He finishes the song as my breath gets a little calmer.
"We're gonna die. Aren't we?" I look up at him.
He may be my enemy, but he's all I have right now. All I want is somebody here, and he's all there is right now. Besides, we use to be friends.
"Let's not think about the bad things. Think about the moment." He smiles. I take off the mask so it's easier to talk.
"But-" I start to say but I can't find anything to say. I'm about to die and I can't find a single thing to say to this boy.
"Prepare for impact." A voice says over the intercom.
Oh god. Here it goes again. My breathing starts to get heavier. oh my god were gonna die. The plane is crashing. Were gonna die. I can't even breath. No, I literally cant breath. There is no air getting to my lungs anymore. I cannot get any air at the moment.
I hear a buzzing sound and look out the window. The water is getting closer and closer by the second. I'm gonna drown. I'm gonna be stuck in a plane and drown. Wait. It can be like titanic. We can wait til we get a little bit down and then swim to the surface. But then what?
"Okay. Guys listen to me." I say loudly.
"When I tell you, take a huge breath. Hey as much air as you can. Then, when I start swimming, follow me. Understand?" I order.
"O-Okay." They stutter. A jolt makes me jerk forward as the tip of the plane starts filling.
"Now, the force of the plane is going to drag you down with it. So remember, wait until I go, and when I do start swimming. Swim fast." I say as they all nod. The water gets higher and higher. Finally it starts covering our bodies.
"Better grab anything you need now." I say. Zayn grabs one bag and each of the boys get four more. I grab my only carry-on as the water covers my body.
"Okay. On three, take a deep breath. One. Make sure it's a big breath. Two. Three." I say, looking Zayn in the eyes as it covers our heads. I take a deep breath as I open my eyes under the water, ingoring the burn. I feel Zayn grip my hand. At this point I dont care.
I look back and start swimming to the opening, grabbing ahold of a seat.
Once we get a little ways down I look back and wave at them. I motion for them to hurry up and they scurry out of there. I swim out fast, trying to get to the surface for air. I flail my arms and legs, trying to get to the surface. It's just so far. I see something shiny coming towards me fast.
What the hell is that? Oh fuck. That's part of the plane. It must of fell off while we were going down.
I look over and see they're all almost at the surface. I try and swim around the piece of debris but its just too big. It gets closer and closer and I start to panic. It's going pretty fast too. I look back for a split second and I feel something knock into me. I try to gasp for air, filling my lungs with water. I feel a burning on my head and see a trail of blood floating away from me. The metal catches me and drags me down with it. I start to panic even more and then I start to see black dots. I can feel my lungs filling with air as I stop thrashing around.
I'm dead. I'm a goner. The last person I said anything to was Zayn. He's the last person who ever seen me. My mum and brother will be waiting at the aiport only to find out that the plane has crashed and there's few survivors. And I'm not one of them.
Everything starts to blur out and I can't breath anymore. Then, I just close my eyes and everything goes black. Goodbye.
SHANE'S P.O.V (Didn't see this coming did you)
"Mum. When does Sky's flight leave?" I ask my mum.
"She's probably just boarding the plane." She says. Maybe I should call her.
Eh, might as well. I pick up my phone and dial her number. It rings but then goes to voicemail. She must not be able to have it on. I could just send her a quick text.
Hey sis! Be safe on the flight. You better make it here in one piece...not to freak you out or anything. See you soon. Love you :)❤
I send it and set my phone down.
"Hey mum! I'm gonna go get something to eat down the road. I saw this cool restraunt down the street." I say, walking out the door. Something just doesn't seem right. I just can't put my finger on it.
-
"Hey, mum? I think something's wrong." I say, walking out to the kitchen.
I still can't shake this feeling. It's like something in the pit of my stomach that makes it churn. Something bad is gonna happen I can feel it.
"Mum. Something's really wrong. I don-Mum?" I notice her tear stained cheeks as I walk into the family room.
"Mum, what's wrong." I ask running towards her. I stop when I see what's on the tele.
"A few hours ago, flight 227 from the Leeds Bradford International airport left to the Miami International airport. On the way there they reported a minor engine malfunction that changed the lives of just under 350 people. They have found debris of the rear side of the plane in the mid-Atlantic ocean. They haven't found the body of either side of the plane yet. The captain called in at 2:27 reporting that he couldn't control either engine on the left wing. Approximately 15 minutes later they got a call for mayday and the plane disappeared off the radar. We're not sure if there are any survivors of flight 227. We are waiting for any sign of survivors. To any family of a passenger, we're hoping and praying to hear back from your loved ones. We will keep you posted." The news lady says as my heart drops.
I fall to the floor as I cry. My sister. My twin. My other half. She's gone.
"Maybe she never got on but her phone died." I say running to get my phone.
But, wouldn't she charge it? Maybe-I don't know. My sister can't be gone. She just cant be.
ZAYN'S P.O.V
"Sky? Where's Sky?" I panic when I get to the surface.
I spin around as each of the boys' heads pop above the water. All of them come up except for Sky.
"Where's Sky? Guys, Sky's not here. Where is she?" I yell swimming in circles.
I dive under and look, I come back up for air and inhale.
"Zayn-" Liam looks at me with wide eyes.
"B-Blood." He points next to me.
I look over and see a red area. I take a deep breath and go down. I can't lose her now. I just got her back. She can't be gone. She just can't be.
I see something shiny going down, followed by a trail of blood. Oh my god. She must've got caught underneath it. Oh god.
I dive down as fast as I can. I swim and swim as my ears plug. I finally reach her and grab her arm. I drag her up, trying to get to the surface. After what seems like forever, we break above the surface and I gasp for air. I turn and see she's not moving nor breathing.
"Liam." I call and he swims over. He takes her and spins her around to face him.
"Guys. Hold her back." He orders as we all hold her.
He opens her mouth, holding her nose and blows air into her mouth. He pushes down on her chest, counting. I feel that burning sensation I get before I cry.
I can't lose her now. I just got her back. I just-I cant lose her.
"I'm sorry mate." Liam says, giving up.
She's gone. She's gone forever.
