Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 34

Hayden's pov

We pulled into the parking lot at the airport. I rolled one of Taylor's suitcases as she rolled the other while texting Justin.

"Wait. Am I going to be able to meet Justin?" I asked her.

"Um... Yeah. Are you slow?" she raised an eyebrow.

I didn't even realize that I was going to be able to meet him. Now my heart was racing. This was going to be so cool! We went to a Starbucks so Taylor could get some coffee. All of us were pretty upset. The guys weren't as emotional as I was, though. Every once in a while, I would let a tear fall. I knew the real tears would come after she left. We were all sitting on benches when Taylor's phone went off.

"Justin said he sees us," she stood up and looked around.

"Taylor!" someone yelled.

Then I saw Justin run up to give Taylor a hug. Justin Bieber was standing in front of us. What the actual heck?!

"I want you to meet someone," Taylor told him.

She dragged him over to where I was sitting. I stood up.

"This is my best friend Hayden," Taylor informed him.

"I've heard a lot about you," he smiled.

"Oh god. That could be bad," I joked.

"Nah. Only good things," he laughed. "Nice to meet you, though. Taylor said you're a big fan."

"Of course! I love your music!" I nodded.

"That's awesome. You should come to one of the shows," he said.

"I would, but I'm going to Germany for the summer to work on my art," I replied.

"You're an artist?" he asked.

"Struggling artist," I added.

"I bet it's amazing," he said.

"Flight 174 will board in ten minutes," the lady over the intercom announced.

"Oh, that's us," Justin said. "I'm going to head over there. I'll wait for you by the gates along with the other dancers."

"Okay. I'll be there soon," Taylor told him.

"It was so nice to meet you, Hayden," Justin gave me a quick hug before walking off.

Taylor, the guys, and I started heading towards the gate. We all talked for a few minutes.

"Flight 174 is boarding in two minutes," the lady over the intercom announced.

Taylor started saying her goodbyes. She hugged all of the guys first. She hugged Daniel longer than any of the other guys. I was last. She stood in front of me, and we just stared at each other, trying not to cry.

"I'll be back soon. I promise," she grabbed my hands. "I'll call you every time I get a chance."

"I'm going to miss you so much," she pulled me into a tight hug.

We held onto each other like our lives depended on it. It was like if we let go, that would be the end of the world. We would never see each other again. I closed my eyes right, and a tear escaped.

"You need to go," I pulled out of the hug. "Justin is waiting for you."

Taylor nodded as she turned around to start walking towards the gates. Before she could go, Daniel grabbed her hand. She turned around and looked at him. He pulled her towards him and hugged her. They pulled back enough to look into each other's eyes. That's when he leaned down and kissed her. I screamed on the inside. That was so cute! They pulled away and she walked to the gate. She stopped for a few seconds before turning back around and running to me. She hugged me tighter than the last time.

"If you ever need me, call. I will fly to whatever city your in," I whispered.

"I will," she said.

We finally pulled away, and she ran back to the gate and disappeared around the corner. As soon as I saw her go, I started crying. I buried my face in my hands. I was a mess. Jonah slowly peeled my hands from my face. He wiped the tears from under my eyes before pulling me into a hug. I calmed down a little, but I was still a complete mess. I couldn't drive home because my eyes were still filled with tears. Jonah drove my car home, and Corbyn drove Taylor's jeep. Corbyn was like a brother to Taylor and I. Daniel wasn't as upset as I was, but he was close to it. Once we got home, Daniel didn't say anything.
