Chapter Thirty-Four

*Mikey's P.O.V*

It's 9pm and its been 3 hours since me and Liv spoke. I've officially lost her and I don't know what to do anymore. She leaves tomorrow and there's nothing I can do to change her mind. I went downstairs to be with Amelia, Rory, Derek and Sophie because I didn't want to be alone. When I got downstairs, everyone from the party had left apart from the guys and girls. But Liv wasn't down here? Maybe she couldn't even stand being in the same house as me anymore she had to go to a different one. I sighed to myself when I didn't see her and started walking to the kitchen to find Liv. I was not ending us like this. No way.

*Sophie's P.O.V*

I watched as everyone left the house and then looked towards the stairs as Liv came down without Mikey and headed towards the back room. We all left her alone as we felt she needed space. We continued kicking people out and began to tidy up. We didn't have any energy or strength so gave up after a while when Mikey came strolling down looking shit, so I'm guessing nothing went to plan for him. He looked around as if he was looking for liv, sighed when he didn't see her and headed for the kitchen which also led to the back door and the back room. I looked away after Mikey entered the kitchen leaving my sight and looked at my phone as it bleeped.

1 Message From Liv

Hey Soph. I know its a day early but I'm leaving. Bryce is driving me to the airport now. I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye I just couldn't. I couldn't stop any longer not even for the day it was too much. I love you all x

I sighed and locked it. I watched as Mikey came back through the kitchen door into the front room. "Hey erm guys has anyone seen Liv? She's nowhere to be seen and shes not picking up." He looked over at me. At this everyone looked as they were worried about her so I knew I had to say what was going on. "Mikey, Liv's not here anymore. She's gone. To the airport. To fly home a day early." I hated saying that. My heart sank. I knew Mikey wanted the extra day to try and fix things even if they didn't get back together and I knew everyone wasn't ready to say goodbye yet, but Liv had to do what was best for her.

*Mikey's P.O.V*

She's gone?! Already?! NO! This cant be happening! I still had the day to get her back and now I've lost that. I looked at everyone who were just shocked and upset that she'd left. I had to do something to stop her. "I'm going to the airport to stop her." I said and everyone looked at me. It stayed silent for a little while before Derek nodded. "Go get my sister back mate." I nodded, grabbed my coat and car keys and ran out the door straight into the car. As I started the car up the only thing I could think about was Liv.

As I drove I tried to ring her on the Bluetooth in the car but it kept going to voicemail. Why did I have to fuck up so much? Making her leave everyone just because of me? I actually hate myself. It took about half an hour to get to the airport and from messaging Bryce, the flight leaves in an hour. I got half way when suddenly my car stopped. I was so focused on getting there quick enough that I didn't check the petrol. I was stranded and probably had no chance of getting there. I looked around and I was just in the middle of a road. A quiet road too. No taxis. Busses. But I wasn't giving up, not yet.

*Liv's P.O.V*

I sat in the car as Bryce drove and we didn't really speak. I know it was mean just leaving early and not officially saying goodbye to everyone but everything with Mikey was just getting to me. I couldn't stop thinking about it all and I just wanted to stop being hurt. We were about 10 minutes away from the airport and I kept on getting calls off Mikey. I declined. "Liv why don't you answer?" Bryce said sighing. I sighed and looked out the window. "Because I know what he's going to say and it wont change my mind." I watched as happy couples walked on the pavement. As friends giggled with each other. I wish I could have a good life. Not a perfect one but a good one. But I cant even have that without something going wrong.

We pulled up at the airport car park and I looked over at Bryce. "It was great getting to know you Liv. Please stay safe and come back soon." Bryce said looking actually rather upset. Bryce was my guy bestfriend in America and hes done so much for me, I really will miss him. "Thank you. I promise ill come back soon." I replied and hugged him. He hugged back saying "Ill miss you." "Ill miss you too."

I climbed out the car and got my suitcase out of the back of the car and closed the boot. I walked to the window and waved goodbye to Bryce. He waved back before starting the car up and driving away. This was it. I was finally leaving. I waited till he got round the corner and turned myself around walking into the airport dragging my case behind me. Right now my head was all over the place.

*Mikey's P.O.V*

I kept running and not stopping until I got round the corner from the airport. I checked the time and I had 15 minutes to stop her. I so hope I do this.

I ran again and reached the airport doors. I didn't stop and just ran. I had to be quick as I had to by a boarding pass to be able to get through and stop Liv. At this point I had less then 10 minutes to go and stop her. I got through security as quickly as I possibly could and then got to the desks where I waited and waited until it was finally my turn. I payed for a boarding pass, showed my passport then ran through. As I got through I checked the sign for the boarding gate and it was 22a so I shot straight towards that gate. I got to the gate, put my boarding pass through the machine and as I reached the boarding gate it was empty. I stared out the window as the plane took off and at that moment realised I'd lost her forever. Lost any chance of ever getting her back. My whole world just crashed down.

I walked out of the gate into a random waiting room. Yes random. I didn't care where I was or what I was doing. I just lost the girl I love because of the stupid stuff I'd done. If only I had the chance to prove I could change and be a better person. But I fucked that up ages ago. I sat down next to some random guy as this waiting room was pretty packed. I looked down for a while thinking over all the shit id put Liv through but mainly thinking about her. I don't know what I'm going to do anymore. Clara told me before she left the party earlier that what happened in that hotel room was all sams plan. She didn't wanna do it but he threatened her. I know that's no excuse for me I know I'm wrong.

I just wanted to go now. Cry. Something I never do. I just wanted to cry. I didn't want to talk to anyone. Do anything but cry. I looked up and stood up. As I looked over to the exit I was about to walk through I saw something I didn't expect to see and I was so happy yet confused. I saw Liv sat on her suitcase with her head In her hands. I guess I just got my second chance. "Liv!" I shouted not caring who was around and running towards her. She looked up and stood up. "Mikey? What are you doing here?" She sighed looking at me. "I came to stop you from going. I cant lose you. Why are you here? Your plane left?" I looked a bit confused. "I couldn't get on the plane. It didn't feel right going but it dosnt feel right stopping so I don't know what to do. I'm sat on my suitcase figuring out where I belong." I watched as she grabbed hold of her case. "You belong with me." I said trying to stop her leaving. But she just shook her head and walked past.

"I love you Liv. I love you." I watched as she turned around and stopped. "I love how you wake up in the morning and look adorable. I love how you never give up. I love how perfect you make everything seem. I LOVE YOU LIV!" I shouted at the top of my lugs and she walked over quickly and chuckled. "If I say I love you too will you be quiet." I nodded smiling. "I love you too." I looked at her and held her cheek. "Your right." She looked at me as she said it. "I am? With what?" I looked back. "I never give up. I'm not gonna give up on us, not yet." I smiled bigger and just kissed her as she smiled too and we kissed for a while before pulling away and hugging.

Hope you enjoy the upload :)
