The place I was. The place I am. The place I want to be.

I stood in the isle, looking for an empty place to sit but almost all of the seats on this plane were filled. My head was starting to hurt as people behind me were silently but obviously shooting daggers at me because I wasn't moving.

“Can you move up lady?!” A woman said from behind me. I whipped around and looked her in the eyes.

“And go where lady?! Take your pick. Do you see any open seats?!” She looked around and then back to me before rolling her eyes.

“Thats what I though.” I added and turned back around, running my hand through my hair and sighing.

“Miss, you can sit with me if you'd like.” A voice called from several rows away. I followed the hand that was sticking up above the crowded plane and almost dropped dead when I saw who was sitting there. Mr. Kellin Quinn of the band Sleeping with Sirens himself. But I kept my composure and started picking up my small carry on bag to put in the case above the seats.

“Thank you so much. I swear I was going to punch someone if you hadn't said anything.” I laughed and smiled down at him as I shut the small door. He laughed with me and then offered me the window seat that of which I gladly took and made myself comfortable. He sat back down next to me and put his hand out for me too shake.

“Im Kellin.” he said politely. I took his hand trying to not be so starstruck.

“Heather.” I didn't want to treat him like he was famous, I wanted to treat him like a person because thats what he was. No matter how hard it was to keep my cool right now. I laughed to myself silently and pulled my book from my purse, turning to my marked page.

“I just finished that book like two weeks ago.” Kellin said excitedly. I looked up to him, momentarily lost in his eyes.

“Really? Don’t give anything away.” I said teasingly.
He smiled and shook his head.

“Nah I wont. How are you liking it so far?” He asked.

“It’s pretty good actually. Im loving the Italian setting. I’ve always wanted to go there.”

“And Darcie is just the greatest. Such an adventurist.”

“Quite the reader you are.” I said and laughed.

“Yea. I actually make it a goal to read one book every week. Keeps my mind going.” He said.
“I bet its hard to accomplish what with the tour and everything.” I said and he looked up to me.

“You know who I am?” He asked, the realization in his expression.

“You don’t know how hard i’m trying not to fangirl.” I said and smiled at him. He chuckled and then looked at me with a small smile on his face.

“Thank you Heather.” He said and I knew he was thinking the same that I had been earlier. Kellin Quinn was simply human…one that just so happened to sing like an angel. I nodded and smiled back.

“Your welcome.” I said. All was silent after that. Eventually it got dark and the plane was silent. Everyone around Kellin and I were sleeping the night away. The humming of the plane was making the reading of my book go much faster and as I reached the last of my pages, Kellin looked over and and smiled.

“Finished!” He exclaimed. For another half an hour we talked about the book and we shared what we liked about it. It really was a good book, something that I could sink myself into and escape the world. The best part was, he felt the same. He then started telling me about his band and how the tour was fun. How everywhere that they had been seemed better than the last time. How whenever he would give autographs, the people weren't crazy anymore, in fact they were polar opposite. They were heartbroken. Heartbroken boys and girls, men and women, who were looking for an escape. Kellin just so happened to be just that.

“Im not even sure what to make of that sometimes. My voice is their savior.” I put my hand up and stopped him right there.

“Kellin, your they're savior because of who you are. Your life bleeds through your lyrics from your past to your present to your future. You've been where a lot of us are stuck now. You sing of your past and we can relate. You sing of your present and we can make it through. You sing of your future and it gives us a place to look forward too. Your our savior because your just like us and nothing more.” I finished. He just stared at me. I didn't look away. What I just told him was something he’s never heard before, so I let it sink in. And I knew it did as soon as I saw his eyes fill with tears and he looked away.

“Ive never even…taken that into consideration. I mean, I write my lyrics with the guys and they encourage me to get out what I can’t normally talk about, and in such a way that doesn't make me upset whenever I sing them. I knew they would touch people but…I never thought it would be like this.” He said, his face turning back to me after he wiped away tears that had escaped him.

“Come on tour with us.” He blurted. I felt my eyes grow bigger and my heart almost stop before I smiled.

“Why?…” I asked. Why me? A random women you meet on an air plane and now you want her to tour with you? He laughed a little at my reaction.

“You don’t have too. But you have a way with words that could possibly help me write more songs that save people everyday.” I thought about his offer. We were on our way to Florida from southern Oregon. I was going to simply get a change in scenery and to visit a cousin of mine who I hadn't seen in a long time. But traveling the country and then possibly the world, saving lives thousands at a time, sounded way better.

“Ok ill do it.”

We talked for a few more hours, laughing a few times because of how silly he was being. It was easy to be around Kellin. It was easy to be silly with him, to be normal, to laugh and cry with him. The more I thought about this, going on tour with him and the band, I could only think of really awesome stuff. The love of them, of new friends, of fans. Maybe I was thinking a little too far but it was good to know that my life felt positive right now.

Thanks Kellin Quinn.
