We're like Noah and Allie aren't we?

I woke up with a heavy feeling weighing down on my chest, my heart weighed a tonne and by the amount I'd cried the previous night before Im surprised I hadn't cried my heart out.

Waking up to the side belonging to the love of my life, empty, was what caused my bottom lip to tremble as I shuffled out of bed and prepared myself for the day ahead.

I had no plans, I figured straight away I'd find Alex, give him the letter and let him think about whatever he had to think about. I understand why he felt like that, if he lied to me about something I'd feel the same, it sucks being lied to. Especially by the one you love the most.

I'd popped in to Matt and Breana's room to see them once I was ready. Telling them what had happened and reassuring them that him and I would be okay, which I had to reassure myself with too.

Alex had been ignoring my messages and calls, I tried to tell myself maybe his phone had died or he had no signal, I didn't know where he was, but the only other hotel nearby ours was a Premier Inn; so I took my chances and booked a taxi to take me straight there.

The woman at the front desk eyed me suspiciously but I brushed it off, acting as if I'd been staying here though really I had no fucking clue what room he'd be in.

Most people were filing in and out of their rooms, the ones that were shut I'd lightly knock on and groan internally when it wasn't Alex that answered them.

The last door I came to was room 521, it was the last room on the third floor, I inhaled a sharp breath before knocking. Waiting felt like a lifetime, "Just leave it outside please." A familiar voice called, my words got tangled in the back of my throat.

He obviously thought it was someone bringing him breakfast, I didn't say anything, I couldn't, I'd completely forgotten what words were. So clutching the letter tight I slivered it under the door. Listening intently as I heard Alex shuffle about in the room before the letter was snatched up from the floor, I heard him rip it open and held my breath.

After a few minutes had passed and I headed back down the corridor, he obviously knew it was me and still didn't bother opening the door, I'd see him tonight anyway but that's not the point. I wanted to see him now.

The click of the lock opening caused me to stop in my tracks, turning round slowly I was met with Alex slowly pulling open his door at the end of the hall. A blanket draped round his shoulders clutched round him, his hair was disheveled and he looked miserable, the letter in his right hand.

I didn't say anything when our eyes locked, I bit back the tears, he looked shattered and as did I. So I begun to walk over to him, feet picking up the pace into a small jog before I reached him and wrapped my arms around his torso.

I could've cried when he didn't wrap his arms around me, so I hugged him tighter, head against his chest and the material of his white tank top warm against my hands and arms.

Soon the blanket was wrapped around my back, Alex's strong arms around my shoulders before I felt his lips place a firm kiss to the top of my head, a few tears spilled, soaking his collarbone before I pulled back and looked up at him.

"I love you." I whispered, his eyelids were heavy, half-covering his eyes, I felt awful knowing he'd gotten no sleep because of me.
"Please say something.." I mumbled under my breath, leaning up on my tiptoes to lightly kiss his chin.

"You need to be honest with me El.." Alex sighed, I leant back down and nodded, biting my bottom lip and looking down to our chests connected. "I know, I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to be stressed if you knew he was here." I shrugged lightly.

"El I wanna always be there for yer, if you can't be honest with me where are we gonna go?" Alex asked me, I kept my arms looped round his waist as I gazed up at him with tears brimming the corners of my eyes.
