Can't Afford To Lose Another Second With You (Scömìche)

New Life

As much as we try to ignore certain things and as much as we try not to think of them, at some point reality is always going to catch up. That was how I found myself at the airport in Dallas with Scott, crying into his shirt.

"Shh... baby..."

I could tell by his quavering voice he was only trying to be strong for me, so I was determined to keep myself together, at least for the last few minutes I had with my love.

Last night has probably been the most memorable night of my life. But overall, every single night I spent with him was special. He changed my life. Ever since we first talked that Thursday in October, my life has been turned upside down and changed for the better. He taught me how to love life. He taught me how to live, and how to love. He taught me that I matter. And I could never repay him enough for that.

"Baby, I'll be in San Francisco in two weeks, honey. They'll pass quickly and then we're spending one and a half months together. And I won't leave your side, okay? Promise."

He wiped the tears from my cheeks and I swallowed around the lump in my throat.

"Sorry," I muttered. "We'll skype every day, yeah?"

"Of course."

His smile is the most precious thing in the entire world.

"And we'll text. A lot."

"Of course, honey." He leaned in to kiss me softly, letting his lips linger on mine for a while. "I'll miss kissing you..." he whispered, hugging me tightly. I almost started crying again, but I forced myself not to.

"Me too. But we'll kiss a lot when you come in two weeks."

"Absolutely. And we'll do a lot of other stuff, too. We'll go out, we'll find our new favorite places, we'll have movie nights... It can be like last night, every night."

I nodded, smiling now. "Yeah. I'd love that."

"I need you to promise me one thing, though, okay?"

I looked up at him. "What?"

"I want you to remember that this is the start of a new life. You're going to live your dream, Mitchy. You're going to be part of the Fashion Week! Are you excited for it?"

I bit my lip, smiling, and nodded. "I actually can't wait!"

He was right. I was moving to live my dream of becoming a fashion designer. I was going to my dream university, and so was Scott and I couldn't help but feel at least a little bit happy about that. It was going to be alright.

"Baby. I want you to always remember that I love you, and that there's nothing in the entire universe that I could ever love more than you. Never doubt that, okay?"

I nodded, tears in my eyes. But it was happy tears, since Scott was being so sweet and saying all this stuff, making me cry.

"Same goes for you, love," I answered. "I love you more than humanly possible."

He chuckled, but his eyes were glossy. Please don't cry...

A tear fell down his cheeks but he quickly wiped it away.

"I'll miss you, baby. But you'll love San Francisco. You know what you could do? You could take a look around the town a bit already, so when I come you could show me around?"

He cupped my cheeks and I nodded, close to tears again.

"I'll miss you too. And I will."

"Okay."

He just looked at me, smiling, his blue eyes gorgeous as ever.

"Mr. Mitchell Grassi, please come to Gate 5 to attend the flight to San Francisco International Airport," the voice from the speakers suddenly interrupted. Both Scott and I chuckled.

"You'll miss your flight," Scott said. "Call me when you land."

"I will," I promised, wrapping him in my arms again. He pulled away a few seconds later to kiss me hard and slow, one last time.

And then, I was heading for a new life.
