It sucks waking up at 6 AM for an 8
AM flight, but after you already missed your flight that was 14 hours ago, you
will do whatever it takes to get back home. This is exactly what Kristen,
Angelic Form and I did as we woke up and I splashed water on my face. Today I
was prepared to finally make it home. Though we had some complication about who
was picking us up at the airport, I finally had arranged for Sexi Form to get
us. We heard MC and Nathan’s alarms go off, however they took their time waking
up. Kristen got nervous and told me to go and wake them up. I knew that they
would wake up, so I gave them about 10 more minutes and they finally showed
their faces. I knew they hated getting up early, so this meant a lot to me that
they would do this for us.
We gathered our things and put them
in the car. Next thing I knew, we were off to the airport once again. We
arrived at the airport and unloaded the car. We said goodbye to MC and Nathan
one final time. The three of us hurried inside and found ourselves stuck in a
huge line of people waiting to board the first flight out. We waited, and I got
nervous because I did not want to miss this flight. Kristen was positive that
we did not have to wait in that line and all we had to do was check in our
bags. Come to find out, Kristen was right all along and we were already checked
in. We got out of the long line and checked our bags. We hurried through
security and finally made it into the airport! Though we had a flight to catch,
catching breakfast was equally important. We stopped at Burger King, which
seemed to be one big disorganized mess. Somehow, we were able to get breakfast
and eat before finding our gate. When we reached the gate, we found out that
the flight that was supposed to leave at 8 am was delayed till 10 am!! We were
furious! We bought a news paper and sat down and read about Michael Jackson’s
death. I listened to my I-pod and Kristen started to narc. After what seemed
like forever, they let us board the plane. They were having some difficulty getting
a docking place and a crew, but they figured it out.
We boarded the plane and found our
seats. Kristen was able to switch her seat so the three of us could sit
together. I sat in the middle and Kristen got the window. Angelic Form tried to
fit in carry on under the seat in front of him, but it would not fit. Angelic
Form decided to leave it and just rest his legs on it. When it was time for the
flight to take off, the flight attendants walked by, and said nothing about
Angelic Form’s bag. When we were half way in the air, they did one final check
and this lady noticed his bag. “Is this yours?” she asked. He said yes and she
said “WELL obviously it CANT stay there!”. With that, she picked up the bag and
put it in a holder that was about 5 rows down. Angelic Form was pissed after
that. During the flight, Angelic Form narced, Kristen read and narced and I listened
to my ipod and narced myself.
We touched down in Detroit at 1:00
pm. Sexi Form met us by baggage claim and drove us back to the Bates Hotel. On
the way he stopped at the bar of broken dreams so he could drop something off.
While we waited for him, we saw some forehead walking along the fence peeing!
Just had his junk out there and was peeing! We were in total shock. Sexi Form
finally returned and we told him what had happened. After this, we managed to
make it back to Birmingham. It was so strange being back in Detroit. After
chilling at Kristen’s, I took Angelic Form back to my house where he met Mother
Hubbard and we told her all about the trip. Angelic Form loved my house and
after putting a load in the laundry, Angelic Form and I headed out to get
nuggets ahoy! The McDonalds I took Angelic Form too, he felt was very familiar.
He realized that he used to go there too. As I drove him home, he remembered
how familiar the area was and how when I told him a story, he felt as though he
had lived that with me. From that moment on we knew that somehow, some way, we
were destined to be friends all along.
I dropped Angelic Form at his house
and he went inside and awaited Brian to come and see him after 8 long days. For
the first time in 8 days, I was officially alone. It felt so strange to be
alone again. I went home and talked to this guy online who I will introduce as “Straight
Form”. Kristen talked to Chris on vent, Angelic Form finally got to see Brian.
All was right with the world again. This week had been a long one, and it had
truly been a week of self discovery for us all. Kristen discovered that things
always work out, even if it’s not the way that you plan them, sometimes the
best surprises happen when you are looking in the opposite direction for
something completely different. Angelic Form learned that in the past 6 months
that the bars had changed him for the worse and he had become someone he did
not even know himself. Someone he did not even like. He also learned that it’s
very hard to be away from people you care about, even if it is for only a
little while. I learned that sometimes what seems the same on the outside,
could be completely different on the inside and sometimes people are different
and occasionally its alright for you to let them in because no matter what they
will be there for you and they will never up and leave you. Overall, I give the
trip 8.5, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
