Hi everyone, my first post. This is something I wrote long back and lost it somewhere. I didn't have the encouragement or patience to complete it at that time. It's not something new but I hope you like it. I don't even have a proper title for it. Open to all criticism and good ideas and if I get a good response I'll continue with it.
Danielle was walking steadily towards the airport entrance dragging a suitcase in one hand and a cellphone in other,her purse on her shoulder. She was going to L.A. via Australia. She had been selected for a new tv show,and she was trying to call Brad- her boyfriend or rather ex, "Come on ! pick it up, I'll kill you man!"she said . She lived in texas and she had been with brad for ten months and currently lived In a luxurious flat with him. She was the general manager of a five-star hotel and then decided upon giving a try to acting , tried in an audition and there she was going to hollywood. Change was neccessary because she wasn't enjoying her work and she always wanted to be an actress , so she thought over and made her mind to give this profession a shot. She entered the airport, checked- in and she was about to go in for the security check as brad called, she picked up "I am really sorry babe , just wait where you are, or better just come out of the queue you still have two hours left." he said. Danielle bursted out " Brad ! oh god I am just so confused I don't wanna leave you. Thank god you came or I would have regretted not meeting you , throughout the journey and might as well have jumped off that stupid plane". "Hey hey do not do say that. Right here." She spotted him coming towards her. Brad was really depressed by the thought of breaking up with her but he knew that it was the best thing for both of them . Right now as she smiled with moist eyes at him, he was just as mesmerised by her beauty as he was the first time they met . Danielle literally broke into a sprint and reached him and in a moment both of them were hugging, kissing and caressing each other all over. "I love you like hell, and I don't know how will I survive without you and your snoring." she said . "What? I never snore you are the one who snores like a Dinosaur"and both of them started laughing. Then brad pressed his lips against hers with so much force and passion that for once she thought he wanted to get laid right there. After a few seconds like that he stopped and holding her face in his hands he said " I love you too but you know what is good for us , good for you." She smiled and looked at his face for a while, knowing this maybe the last time she was looking at him, and said" Yes, for now we are going on two different paths but if times are good and our fate coorperates we will meet again , I had the time of my life with you.", " Me too darling". With a parting kiss Dan moved towards the security check area waving him good bye as she waited in the queue . This was a flight going to australia and this trip was supposed to be for both of them but because of a very important meeting brad couldn't join her and she was extermly upset about it. Now she would go there and as Brad said "enjoy and get refreshed " for five days there feeling lonely and then catch a flight to L.A. After Everything was done she was sitting in the waiting area reading a novel by Barbara Cartland , I don't understand what's wrong with people these days? Why don't they read classics? They are so dramatic, far from the horrible reality. I mean all this the mordern s*** pisses me off. Well some mystery writers are good though.. Her thoughts were interrupted by the boarding call for her flight. She picked up her stuff and moved towards the boarding area . She boarded the plane and found her seat in the business class. After everything was settled she took a deep breath , closed her eyes and leaned back. The seats were comfortable and she had her own private space, her mind was in a peaceful state. A thought which had been nagging her at the back of her mind now came to her- Was she making the right decision? Was it a stupid act to leave her perfectly settled life and start from scratch? Whatever it was, now it was to late for all this. I have to get going , she thought and started with her book again. Who would have known that this flight was going to change everything for her.

Update time! Wasn't able to edit , so sorry in advance . It'll be a short one, try to enjoy. It was a nine hours journey, three hours had gone by and Danielle was finished with her novel , she had her refreshments and now she was trying to take a nap. She badly wanted brad by her side but he just couldn't leave his job and so, it was destined for them to part. Now she just had to be focused and work hard. She didn't know till now who was opposite her in the daily soap , she hoped for someone smart and handsome. After sometime she was sleeping and saw something about brad hiding in the toilet of the plane waiting to surprise her. Inside the control room the pilot had switched to autopilot mode and was having his coffee. The co-pilot was still at the controls , being his first time, he was a bit nervous. "Just chill out, the auto pilot mode is made for us to have a bit of rest, so do not panic. It's alright." Pilot tried to calm him. " Thank you for your concern sir" co-pilot smiled nervously. But he wasn't relaxed a bit, he was freaking out! Out there Danielle was getting irritated by some model's continous blabber, she was annoying the air hostess by making fat free food demands and commenting on their uniforms. Dan also came to know that some famous singer and a wrestler were also there on the plane, she could see some people in the front gathered around a particular seat. The hostess was trying to send them back to their seats but she was helpless. Dan wanted to take a look at the celeb but it was already a bit chaotic there and she felt sorry for the air hostess. So she decided she could see him when they got off the plane or maybe when he stood up for something. She looked at her watch it was around 7:30 pm, almost four and a half hours had gone by. In the control room some tension had arised, they were getting continous signals of a very extreme weather ahead. The co pilot had gone mad and was breathing heavily . Now he was of no use. The pilot couldn't get the radio transmitter to work. He was a bit troubled and then suddenly the plane lurched, he could hear some people gasp and some kids and ladies scream. "Due to bad weather the seat belt sign has been switched on, please stay at your seats." The air hostess announced.
But they were in for a surprise. The plane started swaying from one side to other , getting jerks and lurching in bizarre ways. The pilot was in a jeopardy. In his career of 14 years, he had never faced such a situation. For the first time he had encountered a situation which was out of his control, he had no answers. All the cases of planes hitting tornadoes or being caught in a horrendous weather were playing in his mind. That's exactly what was happening to his plane. Dan was consoling herself, nothing will happen it's just a bad weather area. We'll pass and it'll be over. Another jerk and she hit her head to her front seat. "****!" Her head was numb from the pain, she blinked a few times. She was so mad to this flight, she could have gone to LA straight away. Whoever said that there should be no regrets in life was probably mental. What was going to happen now? Then the pilot announced emergency landing. Some people screamed in terror, some started crying and some just sat there in silence, deep in shock. Danielle felt anger bubbling inside her. She wasn't going to let this trick of god get her. "Are you out of your bloody mind? We are in the middle of no where, how can you land in the ocean?" Some people shouted in agreement. The model ran and sat down on that spanish singer's lap. The air hostess announced " Take out your life jackets everyone." Her voice was a shrill squeak. The plane was going down smoothly. Suddenly there was a sound like a rocket taking off and it went out of control. It was going down with the speed of a meteorite. Dan could bet that if someone was by any chance watching this plane could see it burning. Everyone was screaming, shouting and keeping their loved ones close. Dan just sat on her seat with her eyes closed as she had 4 hours back but this time tears running down her face. This was her last flight ever, she was never going to start a new life , the faces of her family, friends and most importantly brad were flashing in her mind. I don't want to die, why did you do this to me lord?? And she started sobbing hard knowing that it was over. At that moment the only picture in her mind was that of Brad waving goodbye at the airport, she felt immense love for him then. I hope your life gives you everything you want love, she prayed silently for brad and a smile crossed her beautiful lips. After that the plane hit the cold blue water. Doors crashing open with the force of that powerful pure water.
Please suggest me some titles , my very few readers. I want something catchy to attract more people. Thank you
