Distance

10. Smile

We have finally packed all our clothes and baggage to go back to home and I have to admit the atmosphere is gloomy, we're all stood here quietly waiting for the boys to pull up, "hey we're going to be fine, im sure we'll get back and everything will be.... Fine" I said with unrealistic hope, they didn't speak but just kept their heads down which made me think, is everything really going to be okay?

Ashtons van finally pulled up and we all quietly got in, "so what's happend?" ash asked with genuine concern. Since all the girls were still in shock I spoke, "well, umm, Aubreys parents have been in a car accident and they aren't holding up so well a-and we have to be there for them and we're sorry we couldn't stay for the week" at this moment I was talking in sobs until Luke sat with me and kept me in his warm embrace, "no no don't be sorry there is nothing you could've done and you girls just need to get home and comfort all your parents and yourselves" Luke comfortly smiled and then whispered in my ear "if you need anyone to talk to, here's my number" he smiled while wiping the tears from my cheeks with his thumb and I chuckled as we stayed in a cuddle until we got to the airport.

The ride to the airport made us all feel better as all the boys were comforting us and making us giggle, I can't believe we're leaving so early but I guess that's not our fault. But im going to miss Luke and the way he made me feel when I was down, it's like he chose all the right words to pick me up when I was to sad to do it myself.
We got the the airport, this is it the goodbye I don't want to but I have to, "well Luke, this is it" I sniffled "dont think of it like that Lottie, we will see eachother again I know it! Just help Aubrey because it looks like she's gonna need you guys" he smiled as we looked at Aubrey as she was hugging Ashton and chuckling "thank you Luke for everything, and even though we won't see you guys perform tomorrow im sure I'll be in a crowd one day" I smiled at him "don't forget me Luke" I added "don't worry Lottie I won't ever forget you and I will perform for you Lottie and when you are in the crowd don't forget to text" "I won't Luke" I smiled back at him as he hugged me, "I love you" he whispered in my ear and I pecked his lips and whispered back "I love you Luke" and then we left to check in, this isn't a goodbye, just a see you later.

Short chapter.... Kinda sweet but sad.
Yesterday was quite emotional with michaels ordeal but im proud that he stood up and told the world about his mental health because knowing that your idol has the courage to say that makes you have the courage to speak about different things too and I couldn't be prouder if him and with this going on in his life and for some spiteful people to be making up fake abuse rumours about him is totally unfair and disrespectful so whoever's making up those spiteful lies, please stop because Michael deserves a lot of love and support right now. Love ya mikey :)
