"so... how did it go..." Harper said with a smile on her face with the box in her hand.

"oh, you found it...and everything was amazing... we are now exclusive!" i said in a childish way whilst putting my hand in the air in celebration,

"aww... and i am in love with this necklace..." she said whilst eyeing up the box

"well... its mine and i don't do sharing jewellery..." i said whilst taking the box off of her. "i can't believe you're going today," i said looking at her suitcase.

"i know... I'm not going to see you for a month!" Harper said whilst bending down to zip up the case.

"text me everyday..." i said whilst smiling at her,

"yes master!" she said in a sarcastic tone.

we laughed and joked about for a bit, i then phoned Grayson to see how he was doing this morning

"hey boyfriend," i said when he picked up

"hey girlfriend..." he said in return,

"yesterday was great... thank you so much," i said in a grateful tone,

"dont mention it! it'll be even better when were back in la in a few days..." he said

"uh... im not going back to la" i said gritting my teeth waiting for something to happen,Harper looked over with an 'oh shit' expression on her face, "I'm going back to England... for school... remember?" i said in an apologetic tone,

"wait... so, for how long?" he said

"a month-" i said before i was cut off,

"a month! we just got together and now your leaving for a month!" he said loudly through the phone,

"I've told you before that I'm going back..." i said defending myself,

"oh... sorry, i didn't mean to yell... just, be safe and i have to go, bye" he said sadly,

"bye, i love you"

"love you too..."

there was a knock at the door... Harper went to answer it and Logan was standing there with a grin on his face,

"trouble in paradise?" he said looking over at me,

"wouldn't you love to know..." i said as i slumped on the sofa,

"its gonna be ok... american lads are better than the brits..." he said acting as if he told the biggest lie ever,

"true... " i said as he came and sat next to me, i rested my head on his shoulder with his arm around the back of the sofa, "we'll be fine, right Logan?" i asked him with a sulky face,

he looked up at Harper who was going wide eyes as he moved his arm back down and placed it between the two of us, "yeah... of course, you and your boyfriend will be just fine,"

Logan got up and left after we spoke for a bit about yesterday which was a conversation he did not seem in to at all. when the time got to 1pm, Harper left the hotel to go to the airport and back to la, i went with her to say our goodbyes considering i was going to see her for another month,

"bye Harp," i said hugging her,

"bye Ava..." she said returning the hug. i waved her off and she boarded the plane. i felt lost without my bestest friend with me.

over the next day and a half, everything was pretty boring in new York, we did some more shopping and went out too eat, i texted and phoned Grayson a lot when he wasn't busy. he didn't seem too happy about me being away for so long but it was something he had to get over. when it was the day of my flight i shoved on some black leggings with an oversized jumper and a messy bun, i texted Grayson a mugshot of me on snapchat and he responded with 'goals!' which made me laugh. i had already packed my bag which was overflowing from everything. Grayson had posted a new tweet which read 'she's leaving... for England... nooooo!', this made me feel really sad and put me in a bit of a bad mood for the rest of the day. we arrived at the airport and i texted him to say that i had just got here and that i was going to text him on the other side which made him laugh as he knew my movie quote.

the flight was alright, nothing major happened apart from the fact that Logan sat on the other side of Emily and he kept talking to me non stop... i posted a snapchat of his face with the caption...'shut the hell up!'. me and emily laughed about it afterwards which soon made him very quiet. the plane journey was around 8 hours and i slept most of it because I'm a teenager... what do you expect. emily tried to prank me by tickling my nose but i slept through it apparently. i took a few more mugshots of Logan whilst he was sleeping and i saw that Grayson had seen my story on snapchat, he had also made one which consisted of videos of him and Ethan as well as videos and pictures of his mum and sister. i also saw one where it was him pulling a kiss face with the caption 'i love you, I'm sorry xx' which made my heart melt. i messaged him saying that i loved him and he replied with the same. i posted a picture of Instagram of me and emily on a plane saying 'back to England from nyc' which ended up gaining lots of questions about his snapchat story, on twitter i ended up explaining everything because people didn't stop asking for around 2 hours of the flight.

once we all arrived home, all 5 of us, we went got the train back as our hometown was on the train route. i got my mum to pick me up from the train station which was when I told Grayson that i had landed and that i missed him which he then replied with 'i miss you too, I'm so sorry for how i acted yesterday but i love you xxx'.
