(Y/N)'s POV

Oh my god that was the longest 45 minutes of my life.

As soon as I had permission to, I turn Airplane Mode off and dial Max's number.

He better fucking pick up.

"(Y/N), I am soooo sorry." He says when he answers.

"Max! Are you freaking kidding me right now?! You said you'd be on the plane! You promised!"

"Look, I know I did, and I am extremely sorry for not holding it, I just..." It went quiet on his end of the line. "I-I'm sorry, baby." His voice cracked.

"Are you..." Do I wanna ask? ... Yes I do. "Max, are you crying?"

Silence again. "N-no."

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"I couldn't hold my own damn promise, (Y/N). That's what's wrong." I heard him take a breath.

I felt my heart drop. "Max, baby, I'm not mad. Really; I'm not."

"You should be, (Y/N). I m-made you a promise and I couldn't keep it."

"Max, it's okay. Really. Everything's gonna be fine. Did you talk to a flight attendant?"

"Sh-she's 'processing' my request right now."

"See. There you go. Everything's fine." I walk to the next gate and sit in the window, watching the workers outside. "You wanna stay on the line with me?"

"Mm-hm."

"Then you can stay on the line."

There was some talking. "The next flight out leaves in a half hour."

"That's okay. I can meet you at the gate."

"Mm-hm. Oh, my god..."

"Hey,"

Silence.

"I love you."

I could hear his warm smile. "Could you say it again?"

"I love you, Max."

"One more time?"

I laugh quietly. "I love you, Max."

I hear him laugh quietly.

"Is this making you feel better?"

"Yeah,"

"Well then, I love you."

He sniffs a little, but still chuckles. "I love you, too."

"I love you more."

"Really?"

I laugh. "Sorry, couldn't help it."

"Dork."

"You're a dork!"

He laughs again. "I know."

We went back and forth at least 20 minutes.

"Hey, I have to board now."

"Okay. I'll be waiting at the gate."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you, too."

I hear another smile. "Bye."

"Bye."

We both hang up. I start for the information board and scroll though my phone.

My step mom was blowing up my phone with text messages. I decided to call.

"Hello?"

"Serena?"

"Oh, my gosh! (Y/N)! Where are you?"

"Detroit. Have a half hour left of a layover."

"Oh that's good. Did you and Max have a good flight?"

"Well... I had an okay flight. Max, uh..." I told her what had happened. "I might have to miss the connecting flight and rebook one out."

"You gonna meet him at the gate?"

"I'm trying to figure out which one it is." I scan the TV screen.

58237 - Delta; Arrival from Seattle - SEA; Status: Early Arrival; Arrival Time: 8:32 PM; Gate:...

"C32." I read aloud. (I'm not even joking. The Detroit Airport is THAT BIG.) I start that way.

*Skip cause I is brain dead*

"Ladies and gentlemen, your flight to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is now arriving and is about to unload. Please have all personal belongings and tickets out to allow ease boarding."

I shot up from my seat and run to the wall next to gate door.

The stewardess opened the door, and the first few people came out.

One of them was Max.

I ran up to him as soon as I saw him and he swings me around in a hug.

"Max?" I say.

"Yeah?"

"Next time, use your phone for music."

He laughs. "I will."

AAAAAWWWWWWW! SAD MAX!!! 😧

I'm literally not supposed to be on right now, but here I am, so... 😳
