The Wedding… – (Chapter: Altitude…)
I was suffocating up there, cruising at a rather uncomfortable altitude of seven-thousand feet. I hate flying, anyway. I always have. But now…now, sitting next to a practical stranger on the way to Columbus International Airport where I would be greeted by two very unsuspecting, very conservative parental units, my hatred of flying had multiplied tenfold. There are many different kinds of turbulence, and I was experiencing them all at once.
“Hey…” Spencer said, sliding her hand over mine, sending multiple, unwelcome sensations throughout my entire already on-edge being.
“Yeah?”
Stay calm, Ashley. Do. Not. Panic.
“You’re so…tense. Is everything ok?”
“Everything’s fine.”
“Are you one of those people that’s scared of flying?”
“I said everything’s fine.”
“Breathe, ok? There’s nothing that can happen to you up here that can’t happen to you down there, right?” she said with a smile, glancing out of the tiny window.
“You’re right, except down there I can’t plummet thousands of feet to my death. But yeah, you’re right,” I said bitterly.
I have no idea what the little princess of insanity thought qualified her to toss random bouts of sensibility my way.
“Listen, you can die everyday at any time. If it’s meant to be, it’ll happen. Whether that happens in a plane or a car or a…”
“I get it, thanks.”
Why was she still touching me?
“Sorry, I’m only trying to help.”
“I don’t want your help, ok? Like I said, I’m fine.”
She nodded, pouting a little like a desperate child, pining for her mother’s attention.
“So…” I began, anxious to avoid the impending moment of awkwardness, “why did you break up with Adam?”
“Aiden?”
“Pardon me.”
She laughed, “He was…he wanted me to be something I’m not.”
“For example?”
“Well, he wanted what a lot of guys want, I guess. He wanted someone to stay home and have his kids and make his lunch. Someone who made him feel more important…more worthy than he actually is. I can’t do that.”
“How long were you with him?”
“Forever it seems like. We started dating in high school. I um…I lived in L.A. for awhile. A few years actually. My family moved there when I was a sophomore in high school because my mom got this job. She’s a doctor, and they offered her a pretty good salary to work at County Hospital, so we went. We were there for awhile and then my brother was shot and killed at our prom. It was a drive-by and he just…he was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. After that, nothing was the same. My family moved back to Ohio to be closer to family.”
