Gone (One Direction & 5SOS)

Chapter 1

Skyes POV

I woke up to the heavy rain that was bouncing off my roof, todays the day I thought to myself todays the day where I leave everything behind and start new there was only one thing holding me back. Liam, the one who has been there with me through thick and thin. I can’t stand to be away from him he’s my best friend if only he knew. Liam is all I can think about, he’s all I have on my mind it’s selfish of me but it’s what I want! I am old enough to do what I want, I can make my own decisions.

I quickly turn over to my clock and see the red digits read 5:43am that’s when I thought to myself 'I have to get up and get going my plane to Australia leaves in just under 3 hours', yes I said Australia I don’t know why I chose there it just seems stress free, I need to get away from family I can’t stand them all my mum and dad do is argue and fight all the time they don’t even notice me half of the time.

I’m all packed and ready, I take another look around my house and then it really hits me, I'm actually leaving, luckily my parents aren’t home they usually leave work early its now 6:30 I place the letter I had written to my parent’s in the middle of the dining table.

"not like they will see it anyway" I scoff.

I walk out my front door not even bothering to lock it. I make my way to the bus stop at the end of my street, I have to pass Liam’s house hopefully he’s not up yet as I’m nearing his house I can see that there are no cars in the driveway which means Liam has most likely left for work already he leads a very busy life, I pull the letter that I had been stressing over writing all of last night out of my jean pocket and place it into Liam’s letterbox then I take one more look at the house that never failed to make me happy and I walk away without looking back.

Arriving at the airport I run to check in as there is only 10 minutes left until my plane boards, good going me I think I make it in time, as I'm entering the plane I feel a sudden sense of happiness wash over me. 'I have done the right thing' I say to myself. I find my seat at the back of the plane lucky me I got the window seat there is a young boy sitting next to me I excuse myself and take my seat no words were spoken, the flight attendant called over the speakers that we were taking off so I buckled up and put my headphones in playing Ed Sheeran he always made me happy, about  1 minute into the song I felt my eyelids start to get heavy moments later I had drifted off to sleep.

12 hours later

I woke up to a sudden nudge on my shoulder, I opened my eyes to the boy that was sitting next to me shoving my shoulder he was saying something to me but I couldn’t hear him I took my earphones out and he said we had landed in Singapore for the pit stop. I thanked him and stood up, I made my way out of the plane and sat in the terminal waiting room. I wasn’t up for eating or drinking I felt miserable checking my phone I see I have 123 new text messages and 94 missed calls, all from Liam. I read through some of the messages I scanned through a couple not even wanting to read them but I knew I had to a few stood out from the rest.

Liam: Skye why did you leave me you’re all I have

Liam: Skye come back please

Liam: I need you

Liam: Can’t believe you didn’t say goodbye at least

Liam: COME HOME

Liam:  Skye come back

Liam:I LOVE YOU I NEED YOU

The last message hit me like a freight train, Liam had never ever said to me that he loved me ever, I feel a sudden chime in my stomach I think I’m going to be sick. I run to the bathroom and let it all out, I hear my boarding call over the p.a system and I decided to wash my face and board the plane. I sit in my seat again and stare out the window which seems like forever about 4 hours into the plane ride I fall back into a deep slumber.
