AMY
It's safe to say that Rachel's tough love forced me into the car and towards the airport. Even though her words were harsh, there was every bit of love, thought and care laced between each word.
She guided me through to the flight gate and we promptly boarded. The flight was only two hours long, meaning we wouldn't have a long journey ahead of us. The thought of having to sit through a long-haul flight in my current mental state filled me with dread. Rachel placed her hand on mine which disrupted my thinking. She smiled lightly and squeezed my hand together with hers.
"You're doing the right thing." She assured me as the plane took off. I closed my eyes to sleep the flight away and to calm my nerves for the night ahead.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare to land in Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport."
Rachel gave me a small nudge as she too woke up from a nap.
After we landed, I climbed out of my seat and grabbed my handbag which I had placed in the over-head compartment. I passed Rachel hers as she smiled back at me.
"Ready to see prince charming?" Rachel giggled as we stepped out of the plane. I couldn't help but laugh back as the chilly evening night wrapped around us.

As I sat at the table for dinner, I looked down at my watch, conscious of the time as I would need to leave to pick the girls up from the airport within the next hour.
"There's a change of plans for tonight boys." I confronted the group. "I'm picking Amy and Rachel up in an hour."
"Couldn't stay away from her for more than five minutes could you, Ricciardo?" Charles laughed as he sipped on his beer. "Maybe a night with the girlfriend may give you a good chance in practice tomorrow." He winked.
I looked over at Michael who gave me a sympathetic smile. None of the boys knew the reason Amy was coming tonight, other than Michael. I had to tell him so we didn't train too early in the morning, just in case we were talking all night long. I felt myself become more and more stressed throughout today. But I understood why Rachel called; she was beyond concerned for her friend, and even though I had practice tomorrow, I wanted to make sure Amy was okay.
"Couldn't even make it four more days." Scotty piped up as the group erupted in laughter.
"It's not like that." I hushed the guys and ordered them to settle down. "She needs to talk to me about something."
"Something....bad?" George asked as I shrugged.
"I have no idea but it's causing her problems." I responded and looked over at the guys. Michael smiled at me as the other lads looked bewildered.
"I hope she's okay then, mate." Lando said and looked around at the table, causing the other lads to also wish her well.

AMY
I picked my suitcase up from the conveyor belt and reached for Rachel's luggage to, swiftly passing it back to her. She thanked me as we made our way over to the arrivals section of the airport. I started to walk more and more slowly as we went down the long corridors, anxiety now filling my system, ready to explode.
"Hey, Ame. It's okay, just a little more to go." Rachel whispered as I had now stood still in my place and started to shake lightly. She placed her arm around me and ushered me to walk; slowly but surely. "Daniel is here angel. He's just through these doors." Her delicate voice broke through my panic state. I didn't want to break down in the airport, in front of all these people, but I was on the verge of collapsing to my knees.
