DAY THIRTY-TWO
(Y/N POV)
This was it. Josh was driving with Tyler and I in the back. Liza was next to Josh, and Brendon was sitting in the very middle, asleep. Sarah wished that she could come, but she was sick. We had already said our goodbyes. None of us were talking.

I knew that if I spoke, I would cry. So I stayed quiet. We had half an hour to drive to the airport, and we were spending it in silence. It didn't feel right, but I wasn't going to be the first one to speak.

"I'm going to miss you," Tyler said quietly, pulling me closer to him.

"I'm going to miss you too," I said, my voice cracking. I bit down on my lip, trying not to cry. "Sorry." I successfully made it through that sentence without crying.

"We'll see each other in six months, right?" Tyler said, and that sent me over. I couldn't control my tears. Six months seemed like such a long time to be away from your soulmate.

"I'm sorry," I said, hiccuping and wiping my eyes. "I just don't want to be away from you for so long."

"I know," he comforted, wiping my tears. "But we are going to get married. And we are going to have a family. And you are going to have a job. So no matter what, we are going to be alright." He kissed my cheek, and I tried to smile. It was hard to be happy.

We pulled up to the airport. I had about two hours until I had to board. Plenty of time. We stepped out of the car. Josh grabbed my suitcase. I looked at them.

"I guess it's time for my speeches," I began, taking a deep breath. "I'll start with you, Tyler. You are the most... amazing person and boyfriend. I love you with all of my heart. We have been there for each other through unimaginable tragedies, but we were also together at the best times of my life. Thank God for music class, or I would never have been close to you. All the nights that we spent together, writing our love song. The time that we spent cuddled up next to each other and the times when you knew just what to say. I love you. I love you so much that I can't even begin to describe it. I've never loved anyone more, and I can't even imagine where I would be without you." Tears were streaming down his face.

"I love you too, Sunshine," he answered, looking at me. I turned to Josh.

"Joshua Dun. You have been one of my best friends, and one hell of a roommate. You have been there for me no matter what we have gone through, and that is something that not everyone can say. From the day that I met you, I knew that we were going to be best friends. And I love you. We are like the friendship version of soulmates," I said jokingly. He laughed a little bit. I saw tears in his eyes.

"Liza. Oh, Liza. We have been friends for such a long time. You have always been there for me, through my boy problems and my friendship problems. I never, ever, ever thought that I would meet a girl that just completely understood me. You and I are like magnets. We just attract each other. And we will always be best friends. Because I will always love you just as much." She smiled at me.

"Thanks, girl. I love ya." She smiled at me, and I turned to Brendon.

"And finally, my five-am friend. You are willing to let me vent to you no matter what time of the day, and all I have to do is make you breakfast. You have always been the comedic relief in my life, which, believe me, is something that I love and need to have. You and I will have early-morning FaceTimes when I need someone to talk to. And you will have to put up with it, because I know you love me. And I love you too." I smiled at him, and he grinned.

"Aww. Well, I guess I do love you sometimes," he responded sassily. I laughed, and the five of us all gathered up and hugged each other. Probably the last time we would all be together.

I hugged them all, and I kissed Tyler. I knew that saying goodbye would be hard, but I didn't think that it would hurt so much. I would've given anything at that moment to not have had to walk into that airport. Tyler brought the suitcase in with me, and the rest of them piled into the car.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye," he said. Without answering, I wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tightly. I rested my head in his neck, just breathing in. I didn't want to leave. I couldn't.

"I guess it is," I answered, looking at him. "I'll call you when I land."

"Okay." He sighed and waved, slowly walking out the door. As I slowly inched closer to the front of the line, I stopped.

I expected that, when I was in line to check my bags, I would feel a sudden rush of certainty. I would smile, and realize that it was right. But I didn't feel that. All that I felt was awful.

I reached into my pocket and crumpled my boarding pass. I jogged outside, hoping that they hadn't left yet. "Tyler! Josh! Wait!" I waved at them, and the car stopped. I picked up my suitcase and put it in the trunk.

"What're you doing?" Josh asked, looking at me. "You have a flight to catch."

"Screw it," I answered, grinning. "Tyler said that we were going to get married and have a family. And I am not going to wait until I get done with my stupid schooling. I've always thought that you two were going to make it big, and now I know it for sure. So I'm not going to this stupid college away from you. I'm staying." I looked over at Tyler. He had a look of shock on his face, which quickly turned to an ecstatic grin.

"Alright," Tyler answered. "Let's do it. Let's go home."

And, hand in hand, we did. That feeling that I'd expected to get at the airport? I felt it then. And I knew, without a doubt, that I had been right. I'd never been more sure of anything in my entire life.

the end...

...for now.
