In The Dark

Chapter 36

~ Jocelyn's P.O.V. ~

"Mum, I'm so sorry we have to leave. There is a. emergency with tour stuff and we need to be on our way. But I promise we'll be back soon to visit," I cringe as Niall gives excuses. I hate having him lie to his mom.

I decide to walk out there. "I'm sorry we're leaving, I was looking forward to spending time with you!" I say as I reach out for a hug.

"Oh honey, it's alright! I loved having you, even though we didn't have time to hang out. But I insist you two stay for breakfast," she says. I look toward Niall and he nods his head.

After she leaves I run my fingers through my hair, "Oh god. We need to get out of here!"

"I know, I just couldn't disappoint her twice. Go online and book us a flight. We'll eat breakfast fast and then we'll get out of here."

I agree and kiss his lips before he heads downstairs.

Luckily, when I check for flights, there is one leaving two hours from now. I buy two plane tickets for is and head downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning everyone!" I say to Niall's parents and his brother Greg. I walk over to where Niall is and grab a plate.

He kisses me quickly before saying, "Did you get us a flight?"

"Of course. It's in.." I check the clock on the wall before answering, "one hour and forty-five minutes."

"Okay, we'll eat quick and go pack up after," he tries to smile. I begin to sweat just thinking about being back in town.

We sit down and eat, trying to have a nice conversation. But I could Niall was just as worried as I was.

"Well thank you for a great time, and I still am so sorry for leaving so early," I say, with a pained smile on my face.

"That's alright love, I'll see you guys both soon, right?" she asks.

"Of course! Love you guys!" Niall and I exclaim in sync.

We head out to our car and pack up our luggage as fast as we can. We hop in the car, and after a short argument, Niall wins and he got to drive. We arrived at the airport and had to leave the car in the parking lot as we ran into the airport.

We checked in and went through security. Once we finally found our terminal, we sit, with only five minutes to spare.

"Ni, the whole time I've known you, you've always been there for me. Thank you so much for that, without I would be dead. And I would've died alone. I love you with all my heart. I'm sorry that I'm putting through all of this. You definitely shouldn't have to go through all of this, and neither should our friends."

"Gate 105, boarding, first call."

That's us. "Jocelyn, I love you so fucking much, and I don't care that your putting me through all of this. Because no one deserves to go through what you have, and you need someone to be there for you. If you're alone you'll never survive. And I love that I am that person for you. I'm so in love with you Jocelyn Hastings."

I kiss his lips passionately. He kisses back and puts his hands to my face. I enjoy the feeling for a few seconds, before pulling away.

"Gate 105, boarding, second call."

We grab our bags and head to board the plane. We show them our tickets and head onto the plane.

We sit in our seats. I luckily have window seat, so I can look out at the beautiful but terrible world.

Niall grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers. I smile at the gesture and kiss his cheek.

"We'll be okay. Everyone will be okay." I repeat that statement over and over. But the more I repeat it, the less I believe it's truth.
