5:25 P.M.,
Wisconsin Airport (C-Way),
April 2020,
My name's Scott Gershwin and I just want to say that Aunt Julie isn't really my aunt as I only learned to call Julie that from my parents and Julie herself. It was a nice affectionate name that always made me feel comfortable around Julie when I was growing up. She's always been such a close friend to my parents. Whenever my parents needed a babysitter for me and my elder brother, Isaac, if Julie wasn't busy, me and Isaac could go across to Julie and her husband, Peter's house. Where we would play PS2 games or watch Simpsons episodes.
Julie Curtis is a tall six foot one and about thirty years older than me but I think she still looks incredible. Julie exercises a lot and eats healthily, she even dyes her short spiky hair. She and Peter had raised two kids who now had grown lives elsewhere and kids of their own. One of my fondest childhood memories is being scared by Julie's Halloween costume while she handed us all candy at her door. Even though my parents didn't celebrate Halloween, they let me and Isaac join the other kids going door to door in costume. Julie's an airline pilot and flies across the world, while Peter had worked as a research scientist. About a year ago, Julie lost him when he had a sudden cerebral haemorrhage.
We all missed Pete and grieved with feeling the loss and emptiness from his passing. I came back from college for Peter's funeral yet I couldn't believe he was gone. Between visits from college, I hadn't seen much of Aunt Julie and I thought about her a lot. My mom told me Julie seemed to be coping well and keeping busy flying huge 777X-9's.
A week before graduation day, my girlfriend Sarah had broken up with me by email. We'd had problems because of our long distance relationship, which I thought Sarah and me could resolve. But Sarah's own studies and graduation put a strain on us both, she explained. Sarah's other reason for our breakup was because I liked to stay in too much and didn't go out as much as Sarah loved to.
Today had been my graduation day and now my parents, Herschel and Gemma, told me dad's brother Morrie was hospitalized with a viral infection in Tucson. So they had to fly there and so here we are at C-Way with Issac and my eight year old sister, Taylor, as we see off our parents. Isaac's gonna be driving us back to the house in dad's SUV and I'm already dreading seeing him in charge. I know Isaac's gonna invite over friends and work buddies from his accounting firm for a weekend party even though mom and dad specifically told him he can't. Isaac'll just threaten me not to tell. Though even if I did, mom and dad would come back too exhausted to do much about it. I just want to get home, get some food and sleep in my room but what chance is there of a quiet night with Isaac's thumping party going on? At least Taylor will be away from the noise sleeping over at her best friend's house a few doors down from us.
With everything that's happened, I can barely process any of this because it all seems like a waking nightmare or something.
I'm standing with my family a few feet away from the check in desk when I see Aunt Julie walking over. I see her first and she smiles as I wave hi. Julie's wearing her Captain's hat, uniform and aviator sunglasses, she says bye to the air stewards and co-pilot she's walking with. Julie comes over and parks her luggage bag upright. Hugs are exchanged and Aunt Julie kisses my cheek as my parents tell her the whole story. I feel restless as they talk at great but necessary length and all I wanna do is go home and try to forget about Sarah dumping me, graduation stress and everything else.
Aunt Julie's dark brown eyes settle on me while she's listening to my dad talk and I could sense she knew what I was feeling. Julie smiled to me and I blushed a little, the noise around me seemed to quieten. I felt drained watching my parents then go catch their flight. Taylor's upset and Julie's the first to notice and comforts her, getting Taylor to smile and laugh. Isaac's ready to drive home, but Julie sees my tension and fear. Julie offers to drive me back in her Chevy Impala. All I do is say to Aunt Julie how Isaac's in charge and she knows what'll happen. Out of kindness, Julie offers me her spare guest bedroom to sleep in. I'm a little shocked but it sounds very tempting to get some much needed rest, so I agree. Issac says okay and all four of us walk through the airport to the parking garage. Julie's car is parked on the next level, so I wave bye to Issac and Taylor. Issac puts on a loud heavy metal track until Taylor screams at him and he changes the music to easy listening before driving off.
Aunt Julie had taken off her aviators and she looks to me, "So, how was college?" She asked.
"Confusing, boring, overwhelming, the usual I guess."
"Hm, honesty. I like that. Come on." Julie asked, walking with me to the elevators. "You know, you've changed a lot."
"Well a lot of people, including my girlf-...I mean ex-girlfriend now, think I'm immature."
"Sorry."
"It's okay, thanks."
"Actually, you seem more mature than most guys I know. Her loss. I'm glad this isn't you know an awkward moment." Julie said and pushed the elevator button.
"Me too."
"Am I talking too much? I'll shut up now."
"No, no, please it's fine. I...I like talking with you." I said and Julie smiled to me.
The elevator doors opened and we got in. The elevator rose up and my stomach turned over. The floor pulling me down in a spinning vacuum, I almost vomited before the doors opened. I stumbled out to rest my body and face against a concrete wall.
"You alright?" Aunt Julie asked and I nodded.
"Yeh...I'm okay, this is happening a lot lately. Weird stuff going on, vivid dreams."
Aunt Julie rubbed at my back and left shoulder, "I know what you mean. I had one last night. I dreamt a man, a passenger I'd never met was thanking me for a nice flight. I was accepting something else though... Something amazing."
"Sounds like a dream I had a few days ago. I guess it's just a coincidence." I said and stood up to walk with Aunt Julie to her car.
Aunt Julie unlocked her Impala, putting her hat, luggage and tote bag on the back seat. She got in first and asked me to sit in front beside her. The nice smell of faux leather car seats, ozone and warm skin assailed my nostrils to wake me up as I awkwardly buckled myself in. The sun was disappearing during bright magic hour, so Julie put her aviators back on while driving. Julie grimaced at a news report on the radio, instead selecting her own MP3 music selection.
"First thing I'm gonna do is take a shower. Then get some real food." Julie told me.
"Uh hm. What's it like flying a plane though?"
"Cruising at plus seventy thousand feet, you feel the aircraft's weight in your hands along with the passengers." Julie now smiled, "The upper ionosphere's clear at night and the sky is filled with stars. Seeing them on a return journey's a joy."
"Wow, thanks, thank you." I said.
"You're welcome."
I was fascinated with watching Julie's ardent driving concentration; the movements of her head and neck to check directions, the way she quietly gasped and sometimes swore at other vehicles around us.
I was hungry by the time we pulled into Julie's driveway and parked. After I got out to stretch aching limbs, I helped Julie bring her luggage into the house. The moment the door opened, Jack, her beautiful and huge Siberian Husky came bounding over from Wilma, her next door neighbour's open front door. Jack, she told me was named after one of her favourite authors, Jack London. Jack was overjoyed since he'd missed Julie while she'd been gone for the last four days. Julie hugged and made a fuss of him. Wilma came over to chat with Julie and me. Jack seemed as hungry as I was because he galloped inside, stopping only to sniff at Julie's luggage bag to catch the scent of faraway places. Julie explained a lot of what had happened to Wilma and I felt like a lot of attention was on me. Taking my leave, I went home to get my toothbrush and toothpaste, change of clothing.
I got what I needed and on my way out, I escorted Taylor to her best friend's for her sleepover. Rowdy guests were already arriving for Issac's party and I was glad to be away from that noise. At Julie's house, I rang the bell and Jack excitedly ran up to the front door as Julie opened the door for me. I put my bags in the hallway and I saw her hair was slightly loose, her long shirt sleeves undone.
