I'll Be Home for Christmas ~ Closed for now

(Alright, haha. =^.^= Well, then, let's begin! )

Kay | 18 | Tagged: Everyone
Kay looked at the flight schedules, unable to believe it. Everyone had arrived at the airport, packed and ready to head home. But, shortly after their arrival, some of the workers had informed them that their flight was canceled due to technical issues. Now, that was frustrating enough, but Kay thought that maybe they could get a later flight home. Well, they could - but the only available flights weren't scheduled until after Christmas. After Christmas! she thought to herself with a sad, frustrated sigh. That obviously meant they wouldn't make it home in time to spend the holiday with their families. They were stuck in New York, with only each other until a flight was available or weather conditions improved. She looked around at the others, wondering how they felt about the entire situation. Personally, she was heartbroken - Christmas was the one holiday she really enjoyed spending with her family, every year, without fail. All of the traditions they had started since she was a young girl...she wouldn't be able to participate in them this year. At least her brother was there, but she still wished this plight hadn't been sprung upon them like this. "Well..." she mumbled in disappointment, her eyes still traveling from face to face, "What now?"

Alexander | 19 | Tagged: Everyone
"I don't know...this is just unbelievable," Alex groaned in response to his little sister, shaking his head in frustration. What were they going to do, now? They didn't have a hotel to stay at, and goodness only knows how long the remaining money they had with them would last, here. True, they had a pretty good sum of cash left due to saving up, but he wasn't sure if it would last them as long as they needed it to. It depended upon where they could find a place to stay, he presumed. He shook his head a little, and his arms were crossed over his chest. He wasn't mad at the flight attendants, or the pilot...or, well, anyone, for that matter. He understood it was something that most likely couldn't have been controlled or foreseen, things like that just happened sometimes, unfortunately. And it was better that they learned of the technical difficulties now, than later on in the air. He was just really frustrated that this had to happen, now. The week had gone great, so far, and it was like nothing could possibly go wrong...and then this happened. It just put him in a little bit of a mood, and it was obvious in his tone and actions.

Cae shut his eyes, and rubbed a hand over his face, giving a soft sigh into it. He was planning on heading back home to spend the holidays with his family, knowing his brother was especially excited to see him. (Feeling was mutual, honestly). And now he couldn't go back? Stupid plane. He was scanning everyone else's faces after a moment, gauging their reactions and emotions, knowing they must have been just as distraught. "Well..," he started, not exactly knowing where he was headed in his sentence. "There's always Skype." He suggested, knowing he was not helping, but at least trying to lift the mood. His phone vibrated in his pocket, most likely a text from his mother. He had sent her a message about being stuck in the city until after Christmas. Fishing the phone out, he read the message, frowning a little. His mother was concerned (see: not happy with his situation), his dad apparently in another country at the moment (typical), and his brother having a fit. Great.

✗ I growled, rolling my eyes with a scowl. "Because that so helps the situation Cae!" I spat out, sitting down on the bench and putting my head in my hands. I felt someone come and sit beside me, and them wrap their arms around me. I shook as I breathed, feeling like I was about to cry but no tears were coming out. Christmas, with out my parents. It was almost un-thinkable, but yet I was stuck with my brother in New York.

✗ I sighed softly, sitting down on one of the benches in the airport. Giving my sister a sideways hug, and ruffling her hair. I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to see the rest of my family for Christmas, but at least I am with my sister. "Well, you have a point. Not an amazing one, but still a point Cae." I said lightly, running my hands through my hair and ruffling it a bit. I looked around, seeing all the distraught faces. We all thought that we could see our families, I know that I, as well as my sister, have spent tons of money on our families gifts.

Kay | 18 | Tagged: Everyone
Kay jumped back slightly when Ashlyn snapped at Caelestis, and a frown spread itself across her lips. True, it didn't help much, but she felt like Ashlyn was overreacting just a bit. Still, she was pretty upset - she was sure everyone was. No one wanted to spend Christmas away from their family, did they? She glanced over at Caelestis with a sympathetic expression, then turned her gaze over to Ashlyn and Drew. "U-um..." she mumbled, slightly afraid to speak. Not that she was scared of Ashlyn, of course, but she was hoping she wouldn't make the girl even more upset by wording something the wrong way. "...He was just trying to help...I mean, Skype's not much. But it's something, at least...I mean, it's better than not talking to our families at all...right?" she added with a hopeful smile.

Alexander | 19 | Tagged: Everyone
Alex sighed, looking over at Kay with a half-hearted smile. She was trying to placate everyone and help out, yes, but he still didn't see the positive side of things. That was just in his nature sometimes, he tended to focus on the negatives rather than the positives. He shrugged a little, glancing over at Drew and Ashlyn. "I mean, I guess...but we still won't be there. It sucks, honestly, it absolutely sucks," he said with a sigh, earning a roll of the eyes from his little sister. "Well, I mean, I'm just saying..." he said with another shrug. His sister started muttering inaudible words under her breath - presumably about his slightly grouchy and negative attitude, no doubt. But he didn't really care to know what she said, nor did he pay much attention to it.

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Cae's hands flew up in defense, eyebrows furrowed. "Shutting up." His hands then lowered, glancing around the group once more. He noticed the look Kay was giving him, and shook his head in return, shrugging lightly. "Skyping them probably wouldn't work anyways. But, we'll figure something out right?" He said almost sarcastically hopeful, with a sheepish smile. He knew he'd have to stay on the positive side of the personality spectrum within the group, knowing that the others would drift more neutral.

The word 'cancelled' was the one thing that stood out on the flight board, all the rest seemed like pointless junk, irrelevant at this current moment. 'Cancelled': Lyssa wasn't sure whether it made her feel happy, or sad. Christmas away from home seemed like the end of the world to some of her friends, that was why it was sad. Alternatively, it suited her quite well. Christmas away from her parents, a Christmas of pure bliss, acting normal amongst people who didn't see anything wrong with acting the way they did.

Her eyes opened wide in surprise as Ashlyn fumed at Cae, and she turned around, her hand flying to her backpack strap so she could grip onto it during any confrontation. She looked at Alexander, then Ashlyn and finally at Kay as she spoke, "You're right Kay, some contact is better than no contact, and I'm sure our families will understand. Who knows, they might refer us to another flight..but then that could take a while."

✗ I sighed softly, nodding towards Kay as she spoke before looking at Caelestis. I ran my hands through my long blonde hair, "I'm sorry that I snapped Cae, it's too much to take in right now and I... I don't want to be stuck in New York, it was fun for a bit now I just want to go home and see my mum and dad." I said softly, looking up at Cae with a sorry expression before turning and burying my face in my brother's shirt. I don't want to be here, I want to be either on the plane listening to music or with my parents. Curled up on the couch with a cup of my dads hot chocolate in front of the fair place with my mum braiding my hair like she always does on Christmas eve.

✗ I hugged my sister tightly, rubbing her back as she buried her face in my shirt. Looking around at the group, "Looks like while we're stuck here, we're gonna need somewhere to stay. Does anyone think that we could get reservations in at a good hotel, this close to the holidays?" I asked softly, rubbing my sisters back still. I could smell the fire that burned constantly in our living room, I could picture my sister getting my mum to braid her hair while we all sat around with a cup of my dads hot chocolate and sang Christmas songs or tried to guess what we were getting for Christmas. I sighed softly, looking down at the ground briefly before reaching for my cell phone.

Smiling sadly at her friend who looked so forlorn, Lyss wanted to say something more but felt that the timing wasn't quite right. She could ring her Mother, and her Father, request they put her some more money on her card in return for a favour so that they could get a good hotel to stay in - but she wasn't quite sure if that's what the others wanted. She looked at Drew, her stomach churning slightly as she wondered what to say. "Uh, I'm sure we could, people tend to be...ya know..home for Christmas," She winced at the words, "and so hotels wouldn't be very busy."
