part twenty-one : forgiveness and goodbyes

-fast forward a few days-

Today was the last day of the tour. Mark still hasn't talked to me, but we never broke up. I've talked about it with Hunter, and he thinks he'll talk to me today. After All its the last day we'll see eachother for who knows how long. 

It was 15 minutes to the beginning of the Phoenix show. Girls were screaming, and everyone was getting ready.

The boys ran out, starting their "White Iverson" dance. It went well, as it always did. After that, some girls came up for a dance battle, everyone was so into it, and it was hilarious.

Weston and I were having a blast backstage, as usual, when suddenly one of the men working on the tour called me on.

"I need to make something up to the most beautiful girl around, Val, can you please come out?" I heard Marks voice ask, as Weston pushed me onto the stage.

I sat down in a chair, he gave me flowers, and all of the boys surrounded us.

"I know the past few days have been crazy for you, and me as well. I wasn't there for you when you needed me, and I've never felt more like a jerk in my life. I need you, you're the best thing thats ever happened to me..." He said, as the girls became completely silent.

"All I could ask of you, is if you can just forgive me. I'm begging you, just please." He said nervously.

"Of course, I love you so much!" I said, smiling. He pulled me in and kissed me, as everyone went crazy.

Even Hunter seemed happy this time, it was different, like he was truly happy for me now.

9:30 that night

The show was over, everyone was packed, and now it was time for the guys to leave. Everyone went to the airport together to say their goodbyes, and it was honestly really emotional.
The past two weeks I've got so close to everyone, and now they were going to be all so far away.

I hugged them all, thanking them for everyone and hoping to see them soon. At the end, I only had Mark to say goodbye to.

I hugged him tightly, and he lifted me up, looking into my eyes.

"Babe, I'm gonna miss you so much, too much. We'll make this work, I promise..." He said, giving me a sad smile.

A few tears shed from my eyes, and he wiped them off of me.

"Don't cry, please. I'll see you soon, summers coming up."

I nodded my head, giving him one last goodbye kiss before his plane was called.

"Have a safe flight, call me when you land, okay?" I asked, sadly.

"Alright, I'll miss you babe." and then he was off.

Hunter hugged me, reassuring everything would be okay. I wasn't sure if I was ready for a long distance relationship. I never even thought about it before now. I just hoped it would work.

Weston, Hunter, Brandon and I all drove back home, and over to Ryan's house were they had a welcome back party.

We started the night with spin the bottle, I mean what else goes on at these parties.

Oh, this would be interesting.
