I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh I want to get away
I wanna fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh I want to get away
I wanna fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
"Hello Airtran I'm looking to get away tonight what do you have leaving within the next couple hours?" I wanted to get away before Max woke up. I knew that he would probably try and convince me not to go, but I had to.
"Well sir, we have a flight leaving at 2 AM for Alaska…"
Before she could even finish her sentence I answered. "I'll take it!" I continued to give her my credit card information. It was currently 11:30 I wanted to get packed in a half hour and leave by midnight. I just threw together a few of the things I needed and really wanted. Anything else I could buy when I got there. I sighed heavily Lilly was sitting on my bed looking at me; she knew I was leaving; I couldn't possibly take her with me. I wrote a note for Max, asking him to take care of Bouli and Lilly, and that I just needed time to clear my head. I finally had everything done; I set the note on the coffee table by the passed out Max. Lilly started barking I quieted her by giving her a chewie. She seemed satisfied so I went out to my car started it up and left.
I was on the way to the airport, my cell started ringing. Max, shit he woke up, I decided it would be better not to answer and I would just call him when I got to Alaska. I had been driving now for 10 minutes, there was a car following me every since I pulled out of my driveway. I started getting paranoid, I mean I was on a four lane highway and they were riding my ass. I decided to take a turn off the road, if I missed my plane I'd just get another one, it's not like I really wanted to go to Alaska anyway. So I get off the exit and they get off the exit. So I get a little more paranoid, but I figured maybe I was wrong. So I start taking side roads, back roads, making quick turns without turn signals they were STILL behind me. I at this point figured I had the right to be worried I was going between 60-80 miles per hour. I decided maybe I would call Max and tell him maybe he could talk me down. As I was calling him the car had disappeared.
I was relieved he answered. "What the hell were you thinking leaving, where the hell are you going? Why the hell didn't you just stay or better yet we could've both went?" He paused for a second.
"I know, I'm sorry but now is not the time. I was on my way to the airport and this car started following me and so I took an early exit and they kept following me and I took side roads and I went fast and made turns without turn signals and they were still following me." I took a breath after I said all of that.
"Where are they now did you call the cops?"
"No they disappeared. But I'm still worried." I was still looking around to see if they were waiting.
"Dude just turn around and come the hell home. I'll stay on the phone with you until you get here"
"Alright, maybe we can both go somewhere. Oh shit…"
"Hello…Hello…Marc are you there? What's going on? I'm calling the cops."
