Love is Louder (Sequel to Addiction) A Jemi fanfic

Chapter 1: Goodbyes

Demi's POV

I can almost taste the angst in the air, the way it ambles on throughout the surfaces of everything around us. The clock will soon disrupt the angst and turn it into fear, as soon as I have to release the only miracle that has ever occurred in my depressing life. As the clock taunts me, I can't help but gaze into the grace of his eyes. He gazes back profoundly locking onto my waist with his tender hands, only another half an hour and this would be taken away from me.

As the plane prepares for flight, my mind races in affection for the man in front of me. My eyes sting from sobbing all morning and burn red, tears still glide down my cheeks. Every now and then, he will kiss them away. His family sits a small distance from us attempting to let us have some privacy, when the time comes around, I will have to express my feelings of saying goodbye to them as well.

" Joe, I don't want to leave just yet. I need more time. " I mention into his ear where my mouth lingers, I can sense he detests what he says next, he always does.

" You need to go, the plane leaves soon...We can't have more time. " He murmurs resting his forehead against mine, the closeness of his words make me tremble. I breath out knowing his words are true, that no matter what, I'm leaving.

" I'm just...gonna really miss you. " I repeat for the millionth time today, I don't care if anyone notices me crying. All I care about is that I only have little time left with him, then i'll be gone for who knows how long.

" I'm gonna miss you too dems..." He says kissing another tear away, the sensation of his touch makes me shut my eyes in admiration. How could one man make me feel so many emotions, it still astounds me even to this day. We sit there in silence for the remaining time we have left, we cling onto each other and our memories of each other here right now. I try to take in everything about him so I won't fail to remember even the smallest details. When we hear the boarding announcement for my flight, I feel a panic attack rising in me. This is it, the moment has come for me to depart from Joe and learn to live a new life.

Joe and I get up from the navy blue airport chairs slowly becoming aware that the moment we've been dreading is actually here. His family comes over to us and attempts to reassure us with smiles and hugs, I take more of the thought of it then the outcome. I hug each member that I have grown close to over the time period of Joe and I's relationship, I'm gonna miss them very much as well. When I release each goodbye and embrace, I find myself once again standing in front of Joe.

" I love you. " He says smiling taking a step forward to hold me one last time, I throw my arms around his neck pulling him as close to me as possible. Tears escaped from our eyes as expected, the feeling of his arms around me make it harder to realize that this is the last time I will have his embrace for a long time.

" I love you too. " I say grasping onto him never wanting to let go, we stay in this position too short before the final call for passengers to board the plane. I slowly release from his embrace wishing I didn't have to, I then place my hands on either side of his face pulling him towards me. I then kiss him intensely trying to remember each detail, the softness of his lips, the little tingle that soars through my body. I restrain it from getting too heated because his family is watching, but my tongue is dancing behind my lips trying to get to his.

We both pull back at the same time hugging one last time, tears are slowly falling from the both of us. I then let go of him staring into his eyes intently picking up my pillow and backpack, swinging it over my shoulder, I then turn around and start to walk to the Jetway. I hand my ticket to the flight attendant who's perkiness is unnecessary, I turn one last time to see him. He's standing there gazing at me, he mouths the words " I love you " and I do the same, the wetness in his eyes make me want to just sprint back in his arms. I then turn and start to walk through the Jetway feeling the weight of every step away from him.
