| Meanwhile at the front of the plane: A.J. McLean sat there thinking very hard. Dear Lindsay, he began for the tenth time . I think we should stop seeing each other. I- �Argghh! You stupid pen. Work! I said work!� A.J. said, unaware he had yelled. He looked up to find people looking at him strangely. He nodded & went back to his letter. Five minutes later he crumpled it up & threw it in his bag with the rest. He could just see what Lindsay would say. �You should always use both sides of the paper. That wastes trees. � she�d said. Oh well, he thought. Just because he knew she�d disagree with it, he ripped out 4 more pieces. Well that was dumb he thought to himself. Would you please stop.� Said the elderly, fat man on his left. AJ didn�t answer. The guy had been getting on his nerves since he got on the plane. A.J. was coming back from visiting Lindsay. He had been trying to tell her the long-distance-away from-home-thing wasn�t working. He just couldn�t figure out how to break it to her. Suddenly his cell phone rang. �Hello,� A.J said into the receiver. �Hi baby!� came the soft sexy voice of Lindsay. �What�s up?� A.J. asked. �Well�um I think we should�� she stopped. �-break up.� said A.J. �you know I agree. I just think this long distance thing isn�t working out right.� A.J. finished relieved she thought the same way. �Oh, well that wasn�t what I was going to say A.J.� Lindsay said. �It wasn�t,� said A.J. �No,� �Well, what were you going to say?� �That we should spend more time together & it would be perfect because my parents are coming, & you could meet them, but if you feel that way..� she said on the verge of tears. A.J. wanted to smack himself. You idiot. You just lost one of the greatest girls you�re ever going to know �Wait Lindsey,� A.J. practically yelled into the phone. �Yes Alexander?� Lindsay said softly. Alexander? Oh know! He thought She�s calling me by my real name. This can�t be good! �Um, well I don�t know it we should actually break up�� A.J. faltered. �Alexander, if you think we should break up then-� Then all of a sudden there was a loud rumbling. The plane dipped & the phone fell out of A.J.�s hand. �No!� screamed A.J. With a sickening feeling A.J. bent down to get the cell phone & the lights went out! |
