Lesley: 

BEEP BEEP BEEP 

I heard the alarm and I quickly shot up from the bed. I sat up while rubbing my eyes and my phone started vibrating. I received a text from Zayn. 

I looked to the side of the bed and Zayn wasn't laying there. I opened up the text. 

From Zayn:

Love, you were still sleeping and you were so beautiful that I didn't want to wake you. Plus, you don't need this sadness. It's better to just go without saying a bitter goodbye, the pain goes away faster that way. By the time you open this text, I'm probably already on the way to the airport, maybe even on the plane but please, love, don't be too sad. It breaks my heart to leave you, it would absolutely crush me to know you were in tears. I love you, Lesley, Skype soon. Yeah?

I hopped off the bed and ran down the stairs. I swung the door open just in time to see the black limo driving off. I burst into tears before slamming the door shut and sitting on the ground, my back pressed to the door. Zayn is right. Maybe it's just better to leave without a goodbye but watching him leave has torn me up. I thought he was gone until I felt two strong arms scoop me back up to my feet, wrapping me in a warm hug. I looked up and saw Zayn, his familiar scent engulfing me.

He reached over and pressed his lips onto mine, our lips moving in sync for what felt like hours, but was probably only minutes. I broke off the kiss, and pressed myself into his chest one last time. 

"Please don't be sad, Lesley. It breaks my heart. I love you more than the stars" he whispered before pulling away. 

"I love you too. More than the stars" I said with a small smile while the tears slipped down my cheeks. 

He wiped my tears before he grabbed his luggage and walked towards the van waiting for him outside. I watched him drive off as he waved through the window before I walked back into the house. I picked up my phone and typed a reply. 

To Zayn:

Zayn, OF COURSE I'm going to be sad. I love you so much. And you were right about the goodbye being bitter. But I'm glad I got to see you one last time. And yes, Skype later please. Have a safe trip, my love <3 <3
