'I really don't see why you wouldn't just get the train down from here instead of driving up to Leeds and then getting on a train' I spoke as I put my bag in the boot of my car.

'You no Jo, considering I'm going to America for 4 weeks, you'd think you'd be a bit more pleased to spend a few more hours with me' Brad laughed as he got into the passenger side of my car.

'No it's not that I just mean, isn't it allot of hassle' I started the car, driving off the drive and on my way back to Leeds.

'The hassle is worth it though' Brad grinned at me and I returned the smile.

'I applied for a few jobs this week, some down south, some up here. I'm not sure where I want to go to be honest. I'm not use to being away from home' I glanced at Brad for a second to see if there was any reaction to me mentioning down south, but he didn't seem that have one.

'Well which is the best job out of the lot, the best one for you' Brad asked.

'They're all pretty much the same thing, rehabilitation' I replied, focusing on the road as I spoke.

I'd actually applied for a pretty amazing job in London at a really good rehab. But seen as Id only be newly qualified, I doubt I'd get it so I wouldn't want to give Brad false hope of me living allot closer to him.

'Well all you can do is wait and see really' Brad glanced at me and smiled.

'I cannot wait to see the back of the jobs I have at the moment. I thought taking on the part time manager would be a good idea because my wage almost doubled, but running shifts with people like Danny in and dealing with complaints and short staff is just not worth the money one bit. Some people are just so stubborn' I rolled my eyes at the thought of going home next week and working.

'Surely it's not that bad' I could tell Brad raised his eyebrows at me Out of the Corner of my eye.

'I guess if I didn't have the job, I wouldn't be able to afford the flat I have or this car'

My exams were so close that I'd packed in the job in Leeds and only had a few more at the other place, at least until my exams were done.

'It's actually a good thing you being away for my exams. I might actually get some work done and this thing handed in' I laughed pointing to the pile of work I had on the back seat.

'Am I really that much of a distraction' Brad smirked causing me to laugh slightly.

'More like a pain in the arse'

'So you'll text me as soon as you land so I know you got there okay' I spoke to Brad as we walked into the train station.

'Yes I'll text you before I fly and when I land, when I get to the hotel and every chance I can' brad rolled his eyes at me causing me to give him my best death glare, but clearly I wasn't very convincing.

'You know, even my mum isn't this bad' Brad laughed but I continued to stare.

'You know I hate planes, they just don't make sense. How can that much weight be in the air for so long' I I frowned. I really hate flying, even when it's not me that on the plane.

'I'm not a fan either remember. But I'm not going until tomorrow so I'll FaceTime you before then'

We reached Brad's train in no time and it was soon time for Brad to get on.

'Well then, I guess I'll see you in four weeks' Brad turned to face me with a sad look.

'I don't like goodbyes' I sighed, sticking my bottom lip out.

'Just think, by the time I'm back you'll have finished Uni, all your stressing will be behind you and we can have an action packed summer filled with festivals and holidays' Brad grinned and I couldn't help but Mirror his expression.

'I still don't like it though'

Brad pulled me into a tight hug that felt like it lasted forever, but at the same time it was over far to quickly.

'I've got to go now, I'll speak to you later' Brad said before connecting his lips with mine, his hands firmly holding my waist.

After a few seconds, Brad pulled away, tucking a piece or hair behind my ear but not disconnection his eyes from mine.

'It's only 4 weeks, I'll be back in no time to annoy you and you'll be wishing I was gone again'

I laughed lightly before Brad pecked my lips one last time.

'I love youuu' he spoke softly before picking his bag up from the floor.

'I love you too, I hope you have an amazing time' I smiled at before he began to walk off and onto the train.

Four weeks is the longest me and Brad had ever been apart. The last few times he's been away it's only ever been for two weeks at a time maximum, and that alone had been hard enough.

I quickly walked back to the car park as It was only 9am and I really wanted to go back to bed for an hour before my last ever uni lecture at half 12.

It's crazy that in a few days I'll be done with this place, I'll be finding a real job of my own and officially living life in the real world.

As I sat in the drivers seat of my car, just as I was about to set off, my phone on the chair next to me lit up, Brad's name appearing.

Miss you already

That boy will be the death of me, no doubt about it.
