There is a lot of flitting between each person’s POV in this chapter but I felt this was the only way to show what was happening on both ends of the story……

“Oh Lily what have you done now?” Glen asked down the phone, his hand on his forehead.

“I took your advice Glen. I chose who I love more and I’m going to London with Logan.” She replied from the back of the taxi, her voice weak and trembling slightly.

“You don’t love Danny more?! I meant Danny you idiot! Surely you can’t love Logan more?” Glen raised his voice in frustration.

“Well maybe if you hadn’t bloody hung up on me and stayed to explain that to me we would be in a completely different situation right now.” Lily replied bitterly.

“Look. I’m sorry but please get the taxi to turn around and go back to your house. Just don’t leave for London yet. I will come down and visit today and we can sort it all out.” Glen pleaded and ran up the stairs, throwing things into the first bag he could find.

“Glen I’m at the airport right now. I’ll call you as soon as I get to London I promise.” Lily said and Glen froze, holding a jumper above the bag, his eyes wide in shock.

“No Lily! This is the wrong decision!” He shouted but she had already hung up.

Danny’s phone beeped so he pulled it out of his pocket and read the screen. Glen: get your butt to the airport Daniel.

He stood and stared at his phone for a second before jumping up and running to the front door. Hurriedly he put his shoes on and grabbed a jacket from the coat rack before calling out to Mark to tell him where he was going.

“I’m coming with you! Do you really think I would miss something like this?!” Mark asked before rushing out the house behind his best friend. They both jumped into the car and Mark raced out of the driveway. “When is her flight?”

“How would I know?!” Danny exclaimed and threw his arms in the air.

“Well I’m glad to know you have a well thought out plan.” Mark said sarcastically before remembering to keep his attention on the road. He swerved quickly out the way of a car coming directly for them, swearing under his breath. Danny looked out the window before looking at his phone and then looking back out the window. The road was pretty much clear so the car was able to speed along, over taking the slow drivers easily. They drove past the 3rd sign post for the airport and Mark turned off the motorway, his face etched in worry as he noticed Danny look nervously around and tap out a rhythm on his knee impatiently.

5 minutes later the boys were looking for a car parking space at the airport.

“Dan just run in and find her. I will park the car just go get your woman!” Mark ordered and Danny ran out the car, slamming the door. He smiled and gave a salute before sprinting off to the entrance of the airport. Danny dodged mothers with push chairs, families with dawdling kids and business men too busy on the phone to shout after the tall, skinny man who just pushed into them. Once in the centre of the airport, Danny stood and looked up at the large black screens with the flight times on. Dublin – London 9:35 Gate 7 Last Call. Danny took off again in the direction of Gate 7 where Lily would hopefully be.

“Lily! There you are sweetheart!” Logan called and Lily pulled her bag on her shoulder and made her way over to him. Her smile was unsure though and turned out as a grimace whilst she hugged Logan. Lily’s eyes stung still from crying after hanging up with Glen but Logan didn’t notice a thing and the pair lined up to have their boarding pass and passport checked before boarding the plane. As she passed the lady her papers, Lily turned around and her hopes were smashed as she just saw an empty waiting room. She wasn’t expecting a car chase and Danny to run in, begging for her to go back to him or anything but Lily knew he was probably sat at home drinking his worries away. Lily turned her attention back to the woman and started to walk with Logan at her side to the plane. Logan swung his arm over Lily’s shoulder as they climbed the steps to the plane and smiled thinking nothing could ruin the moment.
