Changed.

XX. The Airport

Gail's POV

The moment I stepped out of the shower, water still dripping from my body, I felt fresh. It made my soul wake up after that power nap we all had earlier. "..baby, could you please pass me my towel?" my boyfriend's raspy voice said as I immediately said yes.

I handed him the towel as he thanked me quickly. Starting right now I would make the most of everything with everyone.

After a couple minutes of drying up with my lovely, half-naked Australian boyfriend, we both changed into our new set of clothes and it was a memorable outfit for me because it will be the one that I would wear to the airport to go back home in Oakland.

I was wearing my favorite t-shirt that was a gift to me from my all-time favorite basketball player, Stephen Curry, which Ashton had to bug for almost two months just to make him remember my birthday. Sweet guy, huh?

I was caught up with his hot figure while we were clothing each other earlier. We were really having fun and I couldn't believe how I fell in love with him more. It was unbelievable.

"Let's go.." He asked as I immediately nodded.

It was definitely awkward seeing one guy dressed with only a towel wrapped around his waist but seeing exactly eight half-naked men were much more awkward. Ash said I should wear a blindfold sooner or later because he was getting jealous.

God, I love him so much. He wasn't the kind of guy you would get annoyed at when getting jealous. He was one of a kind. He was something else.

"Hun, you done?" Zayn asked his fiancé, knocking on the door, where she was in. He was all set up, just waiting for her to be done as well.

She opened the door, surprising me with what she was wearing. She wore a navy blue dress with the boots that zayn bought her last year at her birthday. She looked ravishing.

"You're ravenous.." Zayn smiled widely as he stared at her from top to bottom.

"You mean ravishing," She said as it turned out as a question, and he nodded.

"You're ravenous." She said as they continue to complement each other.

Sky literally insisted that we should all take the bus. She said she wanted to have a more comforting talk with us all, Matt was only listening from time to time as he never stopped driving.

Matt said it was a two-hour drive to LAX but we didn't mind. Of course, I wanted more time but it had to be.

We sat there at the back, while listening to an amazing song written by Ed Sheeran, which was called Bloodstream. The lyrics were well-thought and it was one of my favorite songs of him. I never had a problem with Sheeran's music because I was obviously a fan. And he was a dedicated chap.

"I tell ya, he feels me.. " I said as they all agree. I mean who doesn't love a guy with gold hair? I know I don't.

The song ended and it was immediately changed into something else. It wasn't Sheeran's anymore, it was a song performed by an idol of mine too, and it was Sam Smith. And we all know every song of him speaks out with love with a mix of heartbroken shit.

It was Lay me Down.

"Your touch, your skin. Where do I begin? No words can explain the way I'm missing you..." I sang my heart out as my boyfriend cheered up for me.

"I didn't know you sing, Gail." Sky said as I only let out a soft giggle. I forgot to mention them that I auditioned in a singing contest that I won first place. It wasn't really a big deal.

"Yeah, just a little.." I answered as she congratulated me with every word she would come up with.

I was hoping to see the positive sides of this day and so far, its been okay. But I don't think it'll last long.

We were at the airport. People were goddamn scattered around corners of the place and I must say this was the greatest airport I've been in.

Sky, Harry, Ash and I bought the tickets for the others. Michael was crying with his girlfriend, that started it all. She teased him that he would die missing all of us, especially him.

"I can't do this without you by my side." He said to her as she kissed him in response.

God! They really look amazing for each other. I just wish we still had more time but we all can't. It was all bound to happen someday though. So why not now?

Ash held my hand as the four of us brought the tickets to the others.

Minutes have passed and all of us were seated on the cold, hard floor, reminiscing the remaining time with everyone else.

"ALL BOARDING TO LONDON! UK!" the announcer said as I felt the voice was very familiar. But I shrugged off my shoulders knowing I was thinking of something personal.

"Its time to go!" Louis said as we start sobbing.

The boys said goodbye to us. That was already it. I guess we all really had to freaking wait.

Maybe we all need some time to really know each other. But it wasn't enough.

This was it. Harry kept on holding my hand as Chachi and I walk them to the boarding area.

"I'll miss you," He said. Making it much more harder.

"I'll miss you more." I said, it was true. I would miss him more.

Michael and Chachi were already done saying goodbye, making Harry and I get done as well.

In a matter of minutes, they all said goodbye to us, waving and such, then they went in. My heart stopped as I took my phone to text him goodbye.

Seconds later, He replied, "This isn't goodbye babe, I love you x" as I smiled.

"I love you too." I replied.

Not all goodbyes are sad though. I guess I could wait.
