Silent Secrets ~ Part 3

Ruby stared at the ground for a bit and then asked, "When's your flight?"
"7:30 pm on Saturday next week." Sky replied, managing a small smile. Ruby just nodded.
A few days later Accapella was already in San Diego and Sky was boarding the plane, prepared for the 19 hour fight. 
"Promise me you'll call?" Ruby asked sadly. Sky nodded, barley containing her emotions.

How long had it been? Two hours? Sky wasn't sure but opened and eye and slowly the other.
"Would you like one love?" An air hostess asked smiling at Sky, offering her a wrapped up pink lolly.
" Yes please." She said, smiling, unwrapping the lolly and popping it in her mouth.
"We'll be landing soon love." The air hostess informed her moving down the isle and offering the other passengers a lolly. She sat up and put away the book lying on her lap.

As the plane skidded to a halt, Sky slowly stooped down and shouldered her duffle bag, and stretched. She filed out after a couple of people and shook her head, still tired and now jet-lagged.
"Sky! Mummy said to look  out for you! She says that your going to be staying with us!" Sky's little cousin Katy came running up to her, flinging herself into Sky's arms and jumping so Sky had to catch her.
"Sky darling nice to see you again!" Melody, Katy's mum came up to Sky, kissing her on both cheeks. Sky smiled, she knew she would love it in here.
" Hey Sky! Great to see you again." Gabriela, Katy's sister, smiled. Gabby was the same age as Sky and they had always been more like best friends then cousins so it would be perfect. For the first time in ages, Sky was genuinely happy.
