The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 34

Still Nathans POV

I was wasting too much time, I don’t even know what to do right now or how to react in this kind of situation, I’ve never been in such a situation, never in my life, I am not prepared for this. There is absolutely no way that someone can be ready for something like this. Noel was yelling at me, trying to get me to snap out of this reverie, but I just couldn’t get myself to think straight. I thought I was strong enough to face any challenge that comes my way, but not this, certainly not this. 

“This is not the time to try and figure out what went wrong, we have to get the fuck out of here!” he yelled furiously, yanking me off the seat, shaking me vigorously to try and bring me back to reality. The other guy splashed water on my face, and that fucking did it, I got pulled back to reality, it felt like I was in a trance all along. I quickly grabbed my parachute from his hand and dashed towards the exit, going as fast as I possibly could. It’s like my survival instinct just kicked in and all I wanted to do is to get the fuck out of this plane before it blows up. Noel already had his parachute on, he quickly hung my backpack on his back, as they all ran behind me.

I jumped out of the airplane, putting my hands by my side so I could go down faster. I could hear the screams of the guys as they also jumped down from the plane. It was up to ten minutes after we jumped out and the plane exploded into bits and pieces, its broken shards flying all around us. I know how these things work, a few years ago, my obsession with skydiving was extremely excessive. I guess you’re wondering why I panicked at first when I know all about skydiving. You have to know that there is a big difference between jumping out of a plane when you’re having fun with friends, trying out new things and when you’re asked to jump down or lose your life. I guess I never expected something like this to happen, ever, worse yet, I am still trying to figure out how all this could have happened, I still don’t understand it all, but I’ll let it go for now. 

I can’t be distracted right now, I have to concentrate on landing successfully. I know that you aren’t supposed to pull your parachute until you’re a few feet down. The parachute on my private plane was designed to calculate the distance to earth and pull out on its own, but I don’t know what is wrong with it today, I can’t hear that beeping sounds that would tell me that it’s actually calculating the distance to land. Since I can’t be sure that my parachute is going to pull out on its own, I had to keep looking down, checking the distance to land.
