You x Reece one: Train wreck

*Y/N's point of view*

"Thanks for offering me food by the way", I say as we leave the pizza place near the tube station. "My pleasure", Reece grins and puts his hand on my waist as we walk towards the escalators. He kisses my hair and steps on the first stair with me, when I suddenly realise that I'm actually leaving my favourite human on this earth for six months. In a few minutes I have to kiss him goodbye. Suddenly all my emotions wash over me at once and I just start running down, hoping he won't run after me. I don't want to face him for goodbyes.

"Hey where are you going?! Wait!!"

"NO, NO, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY!" My voice goes high and loud when I feel him touching my elbow. I speed up and the stairs let out loud noises under my feet. I can feel everyone staring at us when Reece finally catches me and pulls me to the same stair with him. His hands are around my waist, holding  me still.

"Y/N! People are looking", he laughs softly and kisses my neck. "Why would you do that anyway? I actually had to run to catch you!" "I'm sorry", I say slowly and step off the escalator. "My tube will be here in... three minutes..." I say, literally sobbing. 

I was almost expecting this after being so calm for the entire day. The insides of my stomach have been all cool since I woke up, but now, as it's the time... "I'm such a train wreck Reece... I don't want to go. I've had so many good times  with you in the last year."

He gives me a petty look and then hugs me. "It's so unfear that you have to go to Finland exactly now. Now when, you know..." His voice cracks. This is so painful and also embarassing. Damn.

"...we've had so much fun together. I really wouldn't want it to end." I look at the clock, two minutes. "I love you to the moon and back. Never forget that." 

At this point I'm on my tip toes (something I have to deal with as a shortie), hugging him as tight as possible, and breathing his smell for the one last time.

One minute.

He plays with my (your hair colour) hair and I can see my tube stop to the station. "Reece, also... please don't forget me", I whisper weakly. What if he does forget?  What if he has someone new by the time I get back??

With these paralysing thoughts in my head and million tears rolling down my face, I let go of him and run to the tube. I sit down next to the doors and I can hear him shout: "I'LL NEVE FORGET YOU Y/N Y/L/N!! Have fun! I love you baby!" It's so clear he's crying too. His bright eyes are shining even more than usual and I just wave at him. I also send him a weak smile but he's already hidden his face to his hands. I left my baby to cry to the train station.

My heart literally shatters into million pieces and sinks down to my stomach. Was the scholarship really this important to me? 

More important than... him? 

Us?

 I just lay my head against the window and close my eyes, hoping that I stay on his mind. At least a little.

Because, without Reece Jamie Bibby, I am just a train wreck.
