Walk on the Beach - R5 Fanfic

Chapter 29

"Hey, time to wake up." This exactly how I woke up this morning, to the sound of Ross's voice. Which, sadly, I wouldn't be able to hear much longer. And I know I can just keep repetitively complain about how I wish I could stay, or how I think our relationship is going to come to an abrupt stop. But, I'm done complaining. Whatever happens, happens. If we come to an end...then at least it was amazing while it lasted.

"Hey." I said stretching my arms out and yawning.

"Hey, you're finally awake." He laughed at me.

"Finally? How long have you been up?" I asked him.

"Not very long...actually." I laughed at him.

"I guess I have to get up." I said moving off the bed towards my neatly packed suitcase.

"Well, you don't have to get up." He said sitting up now.

"I'm already up Ross." I let out a laugh, then headed in the bathroom to change and make myself look partially decent to go to the airport. I had leggings with a T-shirt on, and a quick messy bun. I collected all of my loose items and put them into my suitcase.

"Today is gonna suck isn't it." Ross said.

"Yeah..it is." I let out a sigh. "I don't even think we can sugar-coat it."

"I don't think so." He laughed a bit.

"We can get through it, I hope."

"I really hope so, but I want you to know, if it doesn't work out-" I cut him off.

"Which it will." I said.

"It will. But, if there is that slightest chance that it doesn't. I'm never just going to forget you. Alright?"

"Me too. I mean, forget you."

"You are the first person I have actually felt like I can't get you out of my head. Blair, I think about you all the time. And these next few weeks and months, they are gonna be hard. Really hard." He stood up off of the bed. "Ugh, I just...I love you." He came over and wrapped his arms tightly around me. And of course, I hug him back.

"I love you too. And there is no way, ever, that I could forget about you. I don't even think that is possible." I pulled away from him and smiled. "We can do this." I brought my hands down to his and swung them back and forth.

"I'll call you every free moment I get." He smiled at me.

"And I will answer every time I can." I laughed.

"Blair? Are you ready?" My mom called from the other room.

"I think so." I responded, never losing contact with Ross's eyes. I walked out with my bags.

"Ok, got everything?" She said looking around the hotel room.

"Yeah." My mom opened the door and held it open. I took a last glance at the room and walked down the hall towards the elevator, Ross by my side the whole time. We got outside to our rental car and packed our suitcases into the back.

"Do you wanna ride there with me?" Ross asked me quietly.

"Sure." We walked over to his car and got in. He turned the key and murmured to himself, "Here we go..."

The drive was short. We didn't really talk to eachother, we didn't need to. There was nothing to say right now, and we weren't in the mood for cracking jokes. We met up with my mom in the rental car lot, and we walked into the airport. We arrived in front of the TSA checking area. I looked at a small black and white sign, "Flight passengers only beyond this point." This was goodbye...

"Uhh, here's your ticket Blair." My mom said and she walked to get in the line, Aiden following her. She gave me a slight smile before turning around. I looked at Ross and put my bags down beside me. I grabbed him and hugged him, tighter than any time before.

"I'm gonna miss you so much." I said, feeling a tear roll down my cheek.

"Me too." He kissed the top of my head and held me tighter. "I love you."

"I love you too." We let go and he wiped the tears from my face.

"Blair, honey, I'm sorry but we have to go." My mom said from the line.

"It'll be alright." He smiled. I picked up my bags and looked back up at his gorgeous brown eyes. "Go." He said, I turned around and got in line with my mom. I looked at him one more time before I decided that I could look anymore. Seeing him standing there just made me upset about leaving. We were reaching to front of the line towards the TSA agents, when I heard some commotion behind me.

"What are you doing?!" I heard an agent yell. I turned around to see Ross cutting through the line with a guard following him, yelling at him. But he was completely ignoring them. He got to me and I just looked at him.

"Ross what are you doi-". I couldn't finish. He pressed his lips to mine and cupped his hands on my cheeks. All the yelling went mute to me. Every thought I had went away. I dropped my bags slowly a nod put my hands on his chest. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes, not saying a word. I saw an agent grab his arm and pull him back, yelling at him. I couldn't move, so I just watch him being pulled away. My mind still ignoring the sounds and actions around me. I watched him be escorted around the corner by the agent. He looked at me from a distance, giving me one last sly smile. I continued to stand there, staring at where he had walked out of my sight, jaw hanging open.

"Blair." My mom said, I didn't hear her. "Blair." She said a bit louder. Still not hearing her. She grabbed my arm, alarming me. I stuttered back to life and grabbed my bags from the floor. "Let's go honey." She said sweetly.

"We walked through security check and found our gate. Aiden sat down and started playing games on his phone. I decided to go to a little shop and get a water bottle for the ride. I walked in towards the small fridge in the store and got my money out of my pocket. I laid it on the counter and smiled at the man.

"How are you today miss?" He asked in a kind voice.

"Hangin in there." I said laughing. I looked over at a magazine holder, and of course Ross's face was on a couple of them.

"Miss?!" I heard him say assertively, I must have been staring at the magazines.

"I'm sorry."

"Here is you're change and receipt, have a nice day." He handed me the money and I walked out.

I went back to our gate and sat down next to Aiden. Patiently waiting for them to call our flight to begin boarding. I grabbed my phone out of my bag and turned it on, looking at the background. I hadn't changed it from the picture we took at the photo booth, the first time he kissed me. I smiled at it, then shoved my phone back in my bag after hearing a voice announce our flight.

"Flight 378 now boarding to Cleveland." I got up with my mom and Aiden, heading towards the flight bridge. We walked down the long bridge hallway and into the plane. I took the window seat before Aiden could and he sat next to me. I knew he would try to bug me the whole way, but I wasn't in the mood to care. I got comfortable and put my headphones in, playing music. I looked out the window and let out a breath, "Here comes forever." I closed my eyes, just waiting to get home.
