On the Road

Well, thank you for your concern, but it's really a private matter.
*glances out window again, slipping ring back on*

Oh.
Well okay then.
I'm sorry to intrude.
The plane will be landing soon sir.
*thinks*
It always happens to me.*

*grabs pillow*
*falls asleep*

*glances up to see Nonna standing by seat*
*Nonna*
Angelo!
I can't believe how rude you were to that woman!
I thought my son had raised you better.
*shakes her head and turns into young girl*
*Alice Daniella*
Angie!
You're such a meanie!
*pinches arm and turns to young woman*
*Jumpy*
I can't do this anymore.
I'm sorry.
*Stefan presses lips to her cheek*
*Angelo*
NO!
*lunges at Stefan*
*falls and plane begins hurtling toward ground*
*watches as Stefan helps Jumpy into parachute*
*Jumpy*
I love you.
*kisses Stefan fully*
*Angelo*
DAMMIT, NO!
*grasps at thin air as Nonna, Jumpy, and Stefan jump from plane*

*wakes up with a start*
*shudders*
*mutters*
What the hell have I been eating?!

In Taxi.

*comes up at old driveway*
*to driver*
Stop here.
*hands cash*
*gets out and walks up to front door*
*hesitates but walks in anyway*
*voice reverberates off walls*
Hello?
Jumpy?
*climbs stairs to old bedroom*
*stands in doorway*
*chuckles at mutilated wall where bed previously resided*

*phone rings*
*picks up*
Hello?
*pauses*
Jumpy?
Are you--
Is everything--

*voice cracks*
Where are you?
Are you safe?
*frantically*
Hello?

*shoves phone in pocket*
*goes back to taxi*
*to driver*
Belfast, clock tower.
Hurry, and I'll pay you double--triple if you get me there in the next half-hour.
*slams door*

*boarding plane*
*holds Jumpy's hand tightly and leads to seats*
*takes aisle seat*
*glances at Jumpy*
The flight over here was hell.
*kisses hand*

*kisses face tenderly*
I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
I'm sleepy.
I think I'll fall alseep on you.
*lays head on chest*
*falls into a deep sleep*
*mutters in sleep*
I'll never do it again.

*kisses forehead*
I hope you don't.
*watches*
*catches stewardess*
Could I get a pillow please?
*gestures toward Jumpy*

*hears Angelo*
*Calls over shoulder*
Just a moment sir.
*helps another passenger*
*goes to get a pillow*
*hands pillow to Angelo looking at him for the first time*
Oh
*thinks*
Its him.
And I'm guessing that's her, his wife.
She's a beautiful woman.
She looks a little young.
She looks like she has a little bump under that dirty dress.


I'm Oliver-I mean Olivia. I will be your server for this flight.
Please call if you need me.
*hurries off*

*puts pillow between shoulder and Jumpy's head*
*brushes hair out of her face*
*thinks*
I wish you understood what you are to me.

*wakes up suddenly*
*sniffles and starts to cry again*
*hugs Angelo tightly*
I didn't know...If you'd still be here.
I was afraid...you would have left.

*kisses*
I'm not going anywhere.
*wipes off tears with sleeve*
Are you hungry?

*nods head*
I'm a bit hungry
*lays head on shoulder*

*takes hand*
*to passing stewardess*
Signorina, my wife would like to order something to eat.
What are you serving?

*sighs*
No hope of that being his sister.
A very close sister
