"H-Hi ma'am ." She told me , completely forgetting that she had authority to make me leave . Perhaps she still secretly thinks that I'm capable of being a murderer . "Hi. If you have some any Beer cans after serving food , will you be able to bring it to me?"
She shook her head immediately . "I will be able to give it to you now if the Breathalyser shows that you had had no alcohol at all . "
I agreed and breathed into the device . I got some Beer cans , put it into a bag and left the snack isle . I had frozen time for the passengers so none of them saw me entering or leaving the snack aisle . After sitting back in my seat , I spelled the Beer cans to look like Coca cola and took one of the cans outside from my handbag as if it was normal .
The other gave no heed to me and continued with their own business as I drowned my sadness in it . I had a moderate alcohol tolerance so I was half conscious and half unconscious . Since Ben was effected by the time freeze that I'd done , he too had thought that I was just drinking a cold drink , until he saw me moving left and right .
"Are you okay , Rene?" I struggled a little bit to seem normal and answered him , "Yeah."
He moved back a little and said , " Are you really just drinking Cola ?" He took the can that I had almost finished and smelled it . "You're really smart , but too bad that you were found out ."
With that , he took my can , as well as my other cans to keep me from drinking again . He gave it back to the air hostesses and told them , "Don't even think about giving this back to her , even if she comes here . I will bring her back . She just looks intimidating , but she's harmless ."
I smiled knowing that he wasn't spreading anything bad about me . When he came back , I was too into the new feel that I forgot to change my expression . "What got you smiling like that ? You eavesdropped on me , right ?" His smiled grew wider when I nodded my head .
" babe!" The dizziness had settle down on me and I was experiencing immediate mood swings . I had never taken alcohol to such an extent that I loose control over myself because I lived alone and I didn't want to go back to Bobby and Hailey's house . The feeling of pure ecstasy was great but now , because of the heavy mood swings , I started crying .
"Stacy and I were very close , you know ?......." And that was how I ended up talking about how I met Stacy in high school and how sad I was feeling then for the whole flight . We reached Georgia , the last place that Nate and Jay were supposed to reach before going to San Francisco .
We had taken another hotel in San Francisco because it looked like Nate and Jay hadn't left their last destination yet . They had only kept 5 Yarrow stems in each corner as we had calculated till then . I had enough time to accept the fact that Stacy was not alive . All I have in mind is to finish my duty and die in peace .
The hotel we were staying then had single beds and because of that , the others were in single rooms too . I laid down on my bed and was scrolling through social media when I heard a knock on my door .
