"hurry up, you're such a diva!" i yelled at luke.
he shot me a face to mock me and continued scurrying around.
"did i forget anything?" he asked me for the tenth time.
"no." i replied slightly annoyed.
i clicked my phone on to check the time. it showed 8:45.
"luke you're gonna be late!! we gotta be at the airport and hour and a half before your flight takes off. your flight leaves at 9:45."
i heard a gasp and footsteps once again. luke suddenly emerges from the bedroom, a backpack on while rolling a suitcase. most of his stuff was already in the car.
"jesus, you're slow."
luke and i hopped into the car and I began driving. although i was sad about him leaving, this was an amazing opportunity and i was not going to hold him back from going. we already discussed that we would skype every night, and visit each other twice a month.
i could see luke's leg bouncing up and down in the corner of my eye.
smiling to myself, i asked, "nervous?"
the blonde shot me a grin and two thumbs up. shaking my head as i pulled into a parking spot at the almost always full airport, i grabbed the majority of luke's bags and we headed off into the building. the gate luke was boarding was c12 and we were at a1. realising this, luke's jaw dropped when he turned to look at me. we began sprinting across the airport. with my curls flying and luke's uncontrollable gasps for air, we were two hot messes. somehow, we got to the gate with 15 minutes to spare.
luke's face was slightly flushed, a light layer of sweat covered his skin.
"is this goodbye?" i ask, choking back tears. luke shook his head while embracing me tightly. he kissed my forehead, then my lips and hugged me again.
"don't think of this as a goodbye, think of it as a 'see you soon'." luke said, his bright blue eyes glazing over with tears.
"see you soon." i waved and he waved back as he strolled through the gates along with the other passengers.
wiping a tear from my eye with my rough hand, i stopped by one of the airport gift shops to pick up some chocolate milk, i had been craving it all day. while i was paying at the counter, my phone vibrated in my pocket. i picked it up and turned it on, while walking out of the store, milk in hand. luke had sent me a snapchat selfie of him smiling on the plane. i laughed, and exited the airport, hand feeling empty without luke's to hold.
