Why did I say those words to April. I knew she wasn't like that. I've ruined my chance with the girl I love. The only girl I've loved. The only girl I will love.

Finishing our relationship with her was the worst thing I've ever done. It was like my heart was ripped out and smashes into a thousand and more pieces and I knew it was all my fault. None of it was hers.

I haven't eaten since she walked away. I haven't slept. I haven't washed.

My mum went out half an hour ago. She didn't say where. I needed to say goodbye. I have to. She meant to world to me. She would be moving half way across the world. She did say be there before 11:30. It was currently 11. It takes 15 minutes to get to the airport. I could make it.

I walked out of my room with my wallet in my back pocket and went to find Ben. He was in his room watching a movie.

"Can you drive me to the airport?" I asked, it was more of a demand.

"Sure, you wanna go now?" He asked.

"If you don't mind." I said awkwardly. I needed to see April as soon as I could.

The drive to the airport felt like forever. I was really nervous incase I missed her leave and I'd never see her again.

As soon as Ben pulled up outside the airport, I opened the door and ran inside. I looked on the bored to find departures and scanned it for London. I saw that the gate wasn't open yet. I sill had time.

I went over to a travel company desk and bought the cheapest flight to Melbourne. I knew I wouldn't get on the flight, I just needed to see April. The payment seemed to take forever.

I rushed over to security. I started to feel a bit anxious. I always did get anxious when it came to security in airports. But this time it was different. I could be loosing the girl I love. Forever.

Once I got through security I found a bored and looked for the next flight for London. Boarding. Shit. I ran as fast as I could to the gate. The line was quickly going down.

There were only a few people left in the line. I saw her hair, pushed up into a messy bun. Grey jogging bottoms hung on her figure perfectly and a baggy white hoodie.

I continued to look at her, making me smile. Before I could do anything she walked out to the plane. I just stood there not knowing what to do. I'd lost her. Forever.

"Luke? What are you doing here?"

I turned round, mum.

I couldn't control myself anymore. I fell into her arms. I sobbed.

"She's really gone, mum" I cried, moving my head in her shoulder.

"It won't be for long, darling" she said, rubbing her hands up and down on my back. Trying to calm me down.

"How do you know that?" I asked, pulling out of my mums grip and looking down at her.

"Mums know everything" she smiled.

I was a mums boy. I'd do anything for my mum.

"You wanna wait till the plane takes off?" she asked.

I just nodded my head. I didn't know how I'd feel when the plane left. I didn't move, I continued to stand looking at the plane. I'd loved her since she sat next to me in tutor time in year 7. We talked about All Time Low. She thought I'd be punk rock until I asked her if she liked Beyoncé. We became friends 3 years ago. We started dating 2 years ago, those 2 years, were the best years of my life.
