Release Day! Perfect Melody by Ava Danielle

“Now boarding Gate Five to Berlin, Germany,” the intercom shouts and I bang on the table to get the flight attendants attention.
“That’s where I have to be,” I shout at him to give me back the ticket.

“No, you’re on the next plane, that one is overbooked,” he continues to push the keys on board and stare at a screen.

“Listen, I’m not actually here to board any plane. I needed a ticket to get back here to stop the guy I love from getting on a plane without knowing how I felt about him. So, I need to go back,” I start to ease away to make my escape when I feel another attendant put a grip on me.

“Let go,” I scream.

“Listen, do you know how many people tell us this sad love story shit? Plenty. We know the drill and we’re fed up with it. The airport is not a place to confess your everlasting love for someone. Either you board the plane with the ticket you purchased or you leave the airport immediately.”

“Let go!” My screams getting louder, “Elliot Harper. Can you hear me? Elliot?” I scream.

“Ma’am, I’m going to have to ask you to simmer down,” he pulls away nearly hurting my arm with his grip.

“Elliot!” I scream, but I don’t see him, I don’t hear him.

Silence.

And I realize, it might be too late. I lost my chance.
