Ella's pov:
The day has come, a day I had been dreading for a while. I refuse to cry because quite frankly doing that won't make him stay. Instead, I help him pack and arrange everything.

He can feel it too, yesterday when I accompanied him to his family's house, tears and smiles were dropped. His mother wished him good luck along with kisses on his cheek where he felt shy.

His father took him into the study and talked for a while. I didn't want to ask but I'm sure it was about football.

His sister hugged and hugged, later crying when he left. along with lewis, his feelings got the best of him, and cried as well.

During the dinner, I helped cooked and even baked. Let's say everyone enjoyed it and asked for the recipe.

"Mase, are you ready?" I asked walking into the bedroom. He stands there shirtless and reaches over for a hoodie.

"I am... I'm just dreading it..." his voice is quiet and sad, understandable.

"Don't okay, this is good, I know I keep saying that but anytime I'm available I will fly out and visit, okay? along with your family" I promised, he walked over to me and hugged me tightly.

His skin touched mine which sent a warm feeling through my body. I played with his hair, and his body immediately relaxed into mine.

"Promise me something?" he whispered making me hum. "Promise me no matter the distance you'll always be there. I need to hear you say it to reassure myself what I'm doing isn't a mistake."

I grab his face and rest my hands on the napes of his neck. His eyes glistened trying his best not to cry. "I promise you, Mason, I'll be there no matter what. I don't care if it's different time zones, or where am I at, I'm a phone call away."

"I love you, Mason, so much. I'm so proud of what you've accomplished. Don't be hard on yourself, you also need time to be you. I promise I'll root for you from here."

He lets emotions get to the best of him and cries. I began to cry too, breaking my promise. This whole goodbye thing is draining. He looks up and kisses me hard, I stumble back and wrap my arms around his torso.

Our salty tears mix while we kiss, my back hits a wall roughly but gently making me gasp. He uses the advantage to deepen the kiss with his tongue.

"I'll never get tired of doing that, your lips and touch are so addictive Ella. How did I get so lucky to have you?" he asks looking into my eyes.

I get shy and nervous so I look down. He's not having it and makes me look at him again. "Don't hide your face, I want to look at you as much as possible before I leave."

"If anything I'm the lucky one to have you, you've changed my life for the good and I'm so thankful for you. I can't wait to spend more time and share new memories with each other" my nerves die down when he gently rubs my knuckles with his thumbs.

"Let's go shall we?" he nods and soon were on our way to the airport. During the drive we listen to our playlist, the music we've added that either sets the mood or describes one another. He also keeps his hand on my thigh, sometimes grabbing my hand and kissing it. When we make our way to the front of the terminals, we sit in quiet for 2 minutes.

"Why is it so hard to say goodbye?" he cuts the silence, making me look at him. "I don't know why, I just know it's difficult because of the distance, I-I don't know". We get out of the car, once he sets all the bags in a cart he turns to me.

"I hate this, I wish you could've come with me, Ella. I need someone there, I'll be all alone..." his words make me cry again for the second time. "Mase look at me..." his intense brown eyes bore into mine. "As much as I would do that with no hesitation, this is something you need to do by yourself. You're the only one who brought you to this point, keep fighting for that. I'll visit you much as possible, I love you Mason." he hugs me tightly, sobbing.

"I love you, Ella. Thank you for everything" he kisses me passionately making me lose my breath. He rests his forehead on mine, enjoying the gesture. "Flight 1407, checking to Arnhem is now available"

"This is it, please be careful Mase. text me as soon as you land, and remember I'm a call away." I kiss him, slowly releasing myself from his touch but he quickly hugs me back. When he releases us, he walks over to the cart and begins walking to the double glass doors.

He looks back tearfully before waving and smiling. I blow him a kiss and wave goodbye. When I no longer see him, I break down and cry so hard. By the time I'm done I feel weak and empty, walking back to the driver's side, I smell his cologne, wishing he was here. But he's not.

My phone vibrates on the cupboard making me read it.

Mason
I love you Ella, till next time.

I have no clue why, but these words make my stomach turn and in a bad way...
