"I'm going to New York"
It had almost been two years since you said it to the most important people in your life. They said they were happy for you, for your dreams. And you knew at least half of it was true.
Your mind often drifted back to that memory, the last show, the goodbye party, the hugs. You missed life on tour, going to new cities and spending time with your friends.

"You're going to be great" Chris said, before you went your separate ways. "They're lucky to have you"
He leaned in to give you a hug, kissing your cheek. "I'm going to miss you"
"We'll stay in touch. This isn't goodbye" He reminded you, letting you go. "I'll see you around" He said, walking away.
You watched as he walked away, not looking back.
"He's great, isn't he?" Laura asked, putting her arm over your shoulders.
"Yeah..he's great"
"I'm gonna miss you so much"
"Laura, please don't make me cry again"
Moving away was hard enough, but knowing your best friend wasn't going to be around made it even worse. Laura was your soulmate and now you were moving away.
"No more crying" She said as you walked through the airport to board your flight to New York. "I'm not wearing my waterproof mascara so.."
"How can I go knowing you won't be with me?"
"You earned this! You're so talented" She said, giving you a hug. "It's a great opportunity and you'd be crazy not to take it. We'll cross paths again and you'll always be in my life and I'll always be in yours, right?"
"Right" you said, holding her tighter. "I love you"
"I love you too"
Someone cleared their throat to get your attention.
"Do I get a hug too?" Jack asked. You pulled back and pulled him in. "You're going to be great"
You looked behind him and saw Nick, Matt, Madi and Malcom. You smiled and urged them to come join the hug.
"You're going to smash it"
"Please send me a tutorial of how to do my hair"
"Show them who's boss"
"I'm going to miss you all so much" you told them. "Thank you all for everything"
One by one, they pulled away. Well, all but one.
Matt stood in front of you. It was easy to tell he had tears in his eyes. "Hey.." He said, looking away for a minute.
"I'm sorry I can't be there on the tour"
"Don't say that!" He said, lifting his gaze. "You'll be doing what you love, don't apologise"
You felt a tear roll down your face. "I'm gonna miss you"
Matt closed his eyes, holding you tight. "I'm gonna miss you to. This isn't goodbye"
You pulled away. "What-"
"Y/N!" Laura called, making you turn to look at her. "You're gonna miss your flight!"
"Shit! What time is it?" You pulled out your phone. You were running late and you had to hurry up. "I have to go"
You look at Matt once more, who looked like he wanted to say something but went against it. You said your last goodbyes, before running towards the door. "I love you all!"
