(Rileys POV)

I'm currently sitting in LAX airport waiting to board my flight. I couldn't help but think of how much I am going to miss being on the road with my crazy friends. especially Michael. Wait Michael!! " I FORGOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO MICHAEL!" I practically screamed. The old lady next to me gave me a weird look and I began to panic. out of all people I forgot to say goodbye to one of the few people who actually give a shit about me. "damn it" I felt like crying to be honest. everything Michael has done for me in the past he has been such a great friend and I'm a shity one. I found myself in tears when I was ripped away from my thoughts. I got up to go find the nearest bathroom to call Michael.

I got into the stall and dialed his number "hello?" he said in his Australian accent "hey" I managed to say in my crying raspy voice that I hated " Riley are you crying?" Michael said " umm. huh yeah" I laughed, cried into the phone "what's wrong sweety?" he asked " its just.. ugh I'm leaving California and going home, well you already know that but I forgot to say goodbye to you and I'm such a horrible friend and your so good to me and I wish I wasn't leaving but I have to and um going to miss you the most because Lola kind of ditched me when she started hanging out with Ashton in the beginning and you were always there for me and now I'm realizing I did the same thing to you when me and Luke started hanging out and getting all intimate behind everyone's back"

"wooaah! Riley calm down I'm not upset or mad or anything, I knew that you and Luke were kind of together and I understood. and your not even close to being a shit friend because who was the girl that made sure I was on my stomach asleep in a nice bed with water on my bedside table when I was blacked out drunk at that party a month ago? you were, and there is so many other times when you have been a great friend to me to!" Michael happily said into the phone "really?" I questioned " yes, now don't be upset just make sure you call me once a week to keep me updated on everything happening in your wonderful life!" Laughed " I will as long as you keep me up to date on your crazy rock star life okay!?" we both agreed and hung up.

I got out of the bathroom and walked back to my chair "flight 113 leaving for key west Florida is now boarding" I got up and made my way to the plane.

(Luke's POV)

I'm running as fast as I possibly can in LAX trying to get passed security. I ran up and started stripping down taking my belt my shoes my phone everything that needed to come off. they were taking a really long time at security I just wanted to rum right through. I finally got my stuff back on a ran towards the gates I was running as fast as I could when a woman over the intercom cam on "flight 113 leaving for key west Florida has now departed" I stopped running and looked out the window to see an airplane with 113 in big numbers leaving for the runway. "FUCK!" I yelled I turned around and started walking back.

(Rileys POV)

I sat down on the plane and started thinking since I have a five hour flight back home I get to do a lot of thinking. I started thinking about Luke and if I was making the right choice. I sat there remembering that moment I had in the bathroom stall with him, I wondered if I would ever be able to feel those feelings for someone again. I remembered telling Luke I was leaving when I made that decision in that moment, why was he crying though if he didn't have feelings for me why would he be crying? I had to know the question was killing me and I have no idea why, even if it means missing this flight. my gut was telling me I needed to go back and my dad always used to tell me trust your gut. so I did.
