Niall stood with Maura, Sean and Greg. Tears streamed down all their faces.

"First call for flight 2345 to London." The airport lady called.

"Well I guess this is it," Niall sighed wiping the tears out of his eyes. He dragged into a hug by his mother. Wrapping his arms around her, he cried into her shoulder.

"I'm going to miss you so much baby," she cried.

"I'm gonna miss you too Ma. But it's only for a few months and then I'll be back yeah?" Niall said pulling back as Maura nodded. Next, Greg pulled him into a hug.

"Imma miss you little bro." He said his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"Right back at ya Greggie," Niall replied as Greg pushed me off him.

"Hey no crying okay? You're a big boy now, he smirked.

"Could say the same about you Greg! You're older than me!" Niall snorted. Greg said nothing but punched Niall in the shoulder instead. Next was Sean. He stood at the side-lines watching the scene play out. Niall pulled Sean into a tight hug.

"Imma miss you some load lad," Niall mumbled.

"Imma miss you too Blondie Bear." He replied. "But it's only for a few months,' he said mimicking me. Niall shoved him back cracking a grin.

"You know on second thoughts I don't think I'm going to miss you half as much as I thought I would," Niall said. The three of them laughed lightly.

"Don't lie Nialler! You loovveee meee," Sean said in a mocking voice.

"Oh yeah suree just as much as you love me!" Niall replied sarcastically.

"I love you loads Nially Boo!" Sean exclaimed throwing his arms around Niall's neck and placing a sloppy kiss on his cheek.

"Ewww!! Seannnn!! That's disgusting!" Niall squealed.

"Meh you still love me." he replied shrugging his shoulders. Greg and Maura were in the knots laughing at the boys antics.

"Last call for flight 2345 to London," The airport lady said.

"Right well I guess I should be going." Niall sighed. He hugged everyone once again before picking up his luggage and bringing them through security.

Niall sat down on the plane and thought about the day. Saying goodbye to his boys was one of the hardest things he had ever done. Not as hard as saying goodbye to his mother. But still, it was hard. He was remembering the tears, the goodbyes, and the call mes. This stupid scholarship! It was changing his life and he was unsure if it was for the better or the worse!

When he finally returns home to Ireland it's going to be a new house. The old house is too big now that both Greg and Niall had left. So, his mother moved into a nice 2 bedroomed house with a nice sized kitchen. Greg was moving Niall's stuff there tomorrow, so Niall didn't have to worry about it. Tears began to stream down his face.

"Stop thinking about your family", he told himself. "It'll only make you cry. You'll seem weak."

He shoved his earphones into his ears trying to block out the thoughts. The sound of Blink 182's "I Miss You" filled my ears. It was purely coincidental how the song matched his current mood.

"I miss you Greg. I miss you Mammy," he thought sadly.

By the time the song was over he had stopped crying. A single tear ran down his cheek as he leaned his head against the window and fell into a dreamless sleep.
