A CRAZY TRIP

Maddie and her sister, Molly, have been planning to go to Australia since Mollys freshman year. Maddie wanted to congratulate Molly on graduating high school, so she thought going to Australia would be perfect because Molly always wanted to go to the beaches there.

A few years ago, Maddie had an awful break up with the love of her life. His names Alex, and he cheated on her when she was on a family vacation in Thailand, so she broke up with him and never saw or talked to him again. She hates him you could say.

On an early Wednesday morning Maddie and Molly arrived at the airport for their flight. But unfortunately, they couldn't get seats next to each other because they were too expensive. Maddie's seat is in the back of the plane and Molly’s seat is in the front. Maddie hadn't thought about Alex in a long time but today was his birthday and she never forgot that.

They finally got seated in their seats and then Maddie heard this guy, “Hey I think I have the window seat,” and Maddie looked up and it was Alex, she was stunned.

“What are you doing here?” she asked Alex.

“Going to Australia for my birthday, what are you doing here?” he said with a tone.

“Going for Mollys graduation.” she grudged.

Maddie's thought to herself “This is going to be the worst flight of my life.”

As soon as he sat down, she put her headphones in and closed her eyes because she could not fathom the fact that her ex-love of her life was right next to her.

Maddie felt a tap on her shoulder, and she turned her head fast to the left and was eye to eye with him, she froze as he said something stupid just to try to have small talk.

“Alex, I don't want to talk to you right now or ever again,” Maddie said

“But Maddie, I still love you.”

Maddie's jaw dropped

“You do?” said Maddie

“I do I’m so sorry for everything.” said Alex

The whole rest of the flight Maddie and Alex talked everything out and sorted things through. Next thing you know the plane lands and there in Australia. Molly is waiting for Maddie to get off the plane and she sees Maddie holding Alex’s hand.

“What the” said Molly “I leave you for one flight and you do this?”

“Don't be mad we talked about everything, were good!” said Maddie.

“I still don't like you Alex” said Molly with a stern look on her face.

“Yeah, I know,” said Alex.
