Lost in our imagination (The Vamps FanFiction)

73 - Goodbye

May 2014

Katie's P.O.V

"I think that's the last of it" I said to Livi as I zipped up my last suitcase and dragged it out of my room and propped it up against the wall in the living room.

"So this is really happening" Livi sighed.

"Yeah I guess it is."

"Do you have to leave?" she asked, tears beginning to form in her eyes.

"We both know that I have to" I replied before pulling Livi into a hug. By now we were both crying and I'm not even leaving yet.

"Do you think you could go get these things from the store for me?" Livi asked as she handed me a small piece of paper.

"Why cant you do it?" I asked wiping my tears away with my sleeve.

"Because we both know I'm too lazy."

"Okay yes you are" I laughed.

"I'll be back in about 30 minutes" I added before walking out the apartment.

I walked out the apartment building and along the high street towards a small supermarket round the corner. I spent about 45 minutes trying to find everything that Livi needed but once I was finally done I headed back to the apartment.

"Livi you have no idea how hard it was for me to find all this" I said as I walked into the apartment only to be greeting by silence and a pitch black room.

"Livi?" I asked as I placed down the bags I was carrying and switched on the lights.

The word 'surprise' was then shouted at me by the 6 other people in the apartment and I noticed the large goodbye banner hanging on the wall. Just that was enough to make me cry and next thing I know Livi was pulling me into a hug as I continued to cry.

"Thank you Livi" I whispered.

"I didn't want to make a big fuss but I thought you deserved a proper goodbye from the people who will miss you most" she replied.

I then went round and hugged every other person in the room. George, Megan, James, Connor and Tristan, one person was missing but I was pretty sure he wouldn't be turning up anytime soon.

I only had 2 hours before I had to leave and it didn't take long for those 2 hours to pass by as most of the time was spent talking about what I was going to do in Australia and as much as I tried to block out the fact that I was leaving I just couldn't. Just hearing about all the things everyone was up to in the upcoming months made me realise that I'm not going to be here to see them do these things, I'm not going to be able to see the boys do what they love or join them on their journeys. I'll miss the little things that you forget about yet somehow are the most important things and when they're gone you suddenly feel lost. The part that I'll miss the most though is not being able to see Livi anymore, spending every single day with someone for 7 years brings you closer than most siblings and in all honesty I don't know how I'll cope but I'm sure I will. I'll miss Brad too of course even though I'm trying to convince myself I wont, I know I will. I love him and it killed me to have to end things but one day we'll both understand that it was for the best. The worst part of it all though is the fact that I don't think I'm going to get to say goodbye.

"You ready Katie?" Livi asked and I nodded.

"Just let me say goodbye to everyone" I added.

"Okay me and James will take your cases down to his car" Livi replied before leaving the apartment.

"Well I guess this is it" I said to George as he pulled me into a hug and my eyes began to water "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too Katie" he replied as he kissed the top of my head.
