The Plane Trip!
The Plane Trip
“Okay, Megan, have a great trip, “ my mom said acting all scared.
“Mom, please don’t worry” I said sitting there as a man walked up to me.
“Excuse me, this will sound weird, but is there any way I can trade tickets with you, my wife just went into labor and I really want to be there, my flight is boarding now, I was supposed to be on my way to New York, JFK, please ma’am” the man begged.
“Uhhh, let me see your ticket, all I have is this carry-on anyway” I said smiling.
Everything checked out and I agreed to trade tickets with a complete stranger. I just hope he made in time for the birth of his kid. I was on my way to New York City, alone, and I was so excited. I took the ticket and headed on board, here I found my seat.
“Hey” a man said.
“Oh. Hi” I said moving my things over.
“My name is..” he began.
I looked at him and laughed.
“Howie, I know, you’re a Bakcstreet Boy, I know” I smiled.
He sat back and laughed.
“I am Megan, by the way” I said shaking his hand.
“Hello Megan” he said.
He sat down next to me and fastened the seatbelt.
“Don’t be nervous” I whispered.
“I’m not, so why are you going to New York” He asked.
“Dance and because I need to get away” I smiled.
“You dance?” he asked.
“Yeah, I love it, it makes me feel so free” I said.
“Yeah, I know” he said.
We started talking and laughing at each other’s jokes.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we thank you for flying Delta Airways, non-stop from Orlando to JFK Int’l airport, New York City, we will be arriving at 10:12 p.m, please enjoy the flight” the captain said.
I sat back and looked at Howie who was on the verge of freaking out because it looked stormy outside.
“Calm down” I whispered.
~One hour later~
“So, what else do you do, besides sing with those hot guys and dance?” I asked.
“I own a club, and I help my sister with her singing” he said.
“Cool” I said slyly.
“Yeah, fun stuff” he said.
We just talked about any and everything for the flight.
“I am going to New York, for a vacation, get away, you know?” I asked.
“Yeah, I know, we have to go pick tour dancers” he said.
“Cool, so when are you going to get married?” I asked out of the blue.
He laughed.
“Someday, not anytime soon, I know that” he smiled.
He had a great smile.
The storm outside started getting really bad I mean really bad, the lightning outside was horrible.
‘Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your trays up and seatbelts on’ the captain said.
“Oh God” I said.
The plane was jerking back and forth and I could tell something was going terribly wrong.
“Lord Jesus, please God, save us, please God, don’t let me die yet, Lord, I haven’t had sex yet with a Backstreet Boy” I prayed.
Howie looked at me in surprise.
“Oh sorry” I said.
He grabbed my hand and I was so scared.
The plane was going down very, very fast and Howie and I were holding hands. After that I don’t know what happened, it was dark. It was dead silent.
The plane crashed in Atlanta and part of it burst into flames.
‘Oh my God, please, please, don’t let me dead, don’t let me dead’ I prayed in my head.
~Two Hours~
“We have a live one, here” the man yelled.
They felt for a pulse on Megan and she had one.
“Get her to Grady, now!” the man yelled.
“We have another live one” the man said.
Howie was alive with a slow pulse, but he was alive.
~New York~
“Man where the hell is Howie? He is never late” Nick said at the airport.
‘Ladies and Gentlemen, if you are waiting for flight 1520, non-stop from Delta airlines to New York, JFK, please come to gate 15B, immediately’ the announcer said.
Nick, along with the guys, headed to the gate that was announced.
“What is the name of the person whom you are waiting for? A man said.
“Howard Dorough” Kevin said.
~Atlanta~
“Okay, have we located his family” a nurse asked.
“They are in New York, they are being located now” some else said.
Howie and Megan were the only two people found in the plane that were alive.
~New York~
“Oh My God, is he okay?” Brian asked.
“We don’t know, but we will have a flight for you all in ten minutes” the woman said.
The plane arrived and the guys got on board, nervous to see Howie. They flew straight to Atlanta and headed to the hospital.
~Atlanta~
“We are here to see Howie Dorough” Brian said.
“Room 15, floor 6” she said.
They went to the floor and waited around.
Megan’s family was on their way and the guys were there hoping Howie would be okay. Megan and Howie were in the same room, different beds.
“Howie, can you hear me?” AJ said.
Howie’s eyes opened up.
“Hey man, hey you guys” Howie said.
They all smiled and looked at him, to be in a plane crash, he was certainly doing better than expected.
“Where is Megan?” he asked.
“Who?” They asked looking at him.
The nurse came in, and checked Howie’s chart.
“How is Megan nurse?” Howie asked.
“She is still unconscious, but she is fighting” the nurse said.
“Can I see her?” Howie asked.
“Yeah, she is right here” the nurse said pulling the curtain back.
Everyone looked at Megan who was unconscious.
“You two are the only survivors” the nurse said.
Megan’s family arrived and stayed with Megan all day and night.
“Hey mom” I smiled.
She was so glad to see me.
“Oh baby, I love you” she cried.
I looked to my left and I saw Howie there, that is when it hit me that the plane had crashed.
“Hey D.” I smiled.
“Hey Megan” he smiled.
Over the next few weeks, both Howie and Megan were doing well, and getting stronger. The news media was all over the plane crash and it’s two survivors.
“You know Howie, me and you are survivors” I smiled as we played cards.
“I know, I can’t wait to go home” he said.
~Two weeks~
“Welcome home Megan” everyone yelled.
I was so glad to be home and near my room. I was feeling stronger than ever.
Howie was home and he called me everyday, it was a pretty good thing, because we both went through something terrible, but it made us closer.
“So, can you come over, I will cook for you” Howie said.
“You got me” I said.
I drove to his house later that night, it looked great and smelled even better.
“Wow, you really out did yourself this time” I smiled.
We sat there and ate dinner, flirting and just enjoying each other.
“You still feel sore?” he asked.
“No, I feel so much better” I smiled.
“Me too, we got our dancers and we start touring really soon” he said.
“That is great” I said.
We cleaned up the food and sat around and talked.
“ I want to tell you something” I began.
“What” he said.
“ I like you, I really do” I smiled.
“Good, because I like you too” he said.
We moved in closer together and finally we just kissed.
“Yeah, I really do like you” I smiled.
We began seeing each other on a more regular basis and it was going good.
“How about you going on tour with us?” he asked as I was helping him pack.
“Are you serious?” I asked.
“Yeah, you know I want you too” he smiled.
“I would love to” I smiled jumping on him.
We packed and the next day, we were gone. It was fun being on tour with him and the guys, they are so great and they truly love their fans.
~Two Years Later~
“Keep your eyes closed Megan” Howie said.
We were in New York and it was freezing outside. It was Valentine’s Day and Howie said he had a surprise for me. He sat me down on the bench.
“ I hope it isn’t an animal” I said.
“Okay open your eyes” he said.
It was like a winter wonderland, snow was falling and lights and candles were everywhere.
“It is beautiful” I cried.
“Megan, I have loved you since the moment we both woke up in the hospital. We have survived more things than most people. Everyday that I see your face, I know that I am truly blessed. And as the song goes, I will love you more than that, more than you will ever know. Today on Valentine’s Day, Megan Danielle Carmicheal, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” he asked on one knee.
I began crying hysterically know.
“YES!!!!!!!!” I screamed.
He took out the box and inside was the most beautiful ring, like 10 carats. He put the ring on my finger and just admired it on my hand.
