"darren i feel like im forgetting something."

"i always have that feeling. dont worry sweetie."

we got our luggage and made our way on the plane.

"got the tickets babe."

"oh shit veruna! i though you had them."

"darren im not joking..."

"im kidding!" darren laughed.

"ugh! i hate you."

"no you dont. come on lets go."

i was so excited. id get to spend new years with someone special. id want to make mermories that would be engraved in my mind for a life time.one that i would tell my kids and grandchildren.

i held darrens arm, giving both of our tickets to the flight attendant.

we sat at the front...it was cold and people were going back and fourth finding their seats and where to put their on board luggage.

"Hello, and welcome to America Flight 438 to New York. If you're going to New York, you're in the right place. If you're not going to New York, you're about to have a really long evening. We'd like to tell you now about some important safety features of this aircraft.

The most important safety feature we have aboard this plane is.....The Flight Attendants. Please look at one now.

There are 5 exits aboard this plane: 2 at the front, 2 over the wings, and one out the plane's rear end. If you're seated in one of the exit rows, please do not store your bags by your feet. That would be a really bad idea. Please take a moment and look around and find the nearest exit. Count the rows of seats between you and the exit. In the event that the need arises to find one, trust me, you'll be glad you did. We have pretty blinking lights on the floor that will blink in the direction of the exits. White ones along the normal rows, and pretty red ones at the exit rows..."

my eyes left the flight attendants and went straight to darrens. he probably saw me looking at him from the corner of his eye but he never looked back. i lightly tapped his nose jokingly and sighed.

"whats wrong?"

"nervous."

"youve never been on a plane?"

"no i have...many times but i always get nervous. its just a thing."

"dont worry, ill be here next to you the whole way there. you have nothing to worry about." he said as he leaned in to kiss my forehead.

"...and enjoy your flight!" the flight attendant finished."

the plane began to move slowly, but surely. after a while the plane finally got a hold of itself and everything was going smooth. darren and i had double seats. i took the window seat and he took the one next to it.

"i dont hate it say, i just get nervous and sick looking all the way down from such a high view."

"yea i get it." i said.

"its already 10. time went by real quick today."

"it always does when we're together. i dont like it."

"but im always there the next." he smiled.

*a couple minutes later*

"hey darren..."

no answer.

"darebear?"

i looked over and realized darren had fallen asleep with his head on my shoulder.

i looked over him...seeing many people had fallen asleep too. children wrapped around their caretakers arms...faint whispers here and there and the sound of the planes engines.
