Learning how to fly (Niall Horan fanfic)

2 - Saying goodbye

*Rikke's POV*

-A week later-

"Thanks for spending Christmas with me hun, you're the best!" I said while hugging Mie goodbye.

I was a week since we arrived and we were now at the airport just as her flight back to Denmark was about to leave.

"No, thank you" she said and hugged me back.

We've had the most amazing week together. At the 24. we even hold a real Danish Christmas, with a little tree, some good food and all that stuff. 

We've had the most amazing week together, I can't describe how much I've enjoyed it. We celebrated Christmas together with a little fake Christmas tree, some surprisingly good homemade food and a few presents. I got some old rock records, a pair of new headphones and a pair of pants from Mie and I gave her a iPhone cover with Iron Man, some clothes and a thin silver ring which I had found some months ago in Denmark.

"It's a shame you're  going to spend New Year's Eve alone. You know you are invited to my boyfriends party, right?" She said, while holding onto my hand.

 "Yeah I know, but it ain't gonna happen, and you know that" I said smiling.

It's not that I don't like parties or that I don't drink, and I finally was starting to like her boyfriend. I just wanted to spend some time away from everyone, and she knew that.  

She waved her hand at me, and I smiled. For a moment I just stood there, looking after her while she walked towards the gate. She waved one last time and disappeared around a corner.

I'm really happy to have her as a friend. Past the last years she never left my side. No matter how crazy I was and no matter what I did. And I loved her for that. Because, just so you know, I'm not an easy person AT ALL, I don't trust anybody, not even Mie sometimes, but she knows it and she accept it. She just loves all my flaws and all my little issues and I always think to myself that se is way too good for me, but when I tell her, she just laugh at me and kiss me on the cheek and it makes me feel warm all the way through my bones. It makes me feel loved.

Everyone deserves a friend like my Mie

I took a cab down to the city and walked around for a little while , enjoying the sight.

"Alone" I breathed. It was nice.

Don't get me wrong, if there's anybody I wanna spent time with its Mie, but I actually like being alone. I like spending nights alone with a book and a cup of tea.

Easy and relaxed, just like me.

Sometimes. Other times being alone is killing me. At night, when it's dark and I'm alone I feel so weak and sad. I overthink all the problems there's been in my life and I begin hating myself. Mie knows about those nights and that's also one of the reasons she stays at my flat most nights.

I went back to the flat and took a quick nab. I love sleeping and I had to get early up for walking Mie to the airport, so don't blame me for sleeping!
