It's been a week since Ashton asked me out and Josh hates the idea that we sleep together every night. But if I don't sleep with him, I have nightmares and I don't like waking Josh up every couple of hours let alone the rest of our floor.

Right now we are at the airport saying goodbye to Calum, Michael and Luke. I give Calum and Michael hugs first before making my way over to Luke with tears shining in my eyes.

"Hey." I greet as I try to blink away my tears. He has tears in his eye too but he quickly pulls me into a tight hug.

"Call me whenever you need me. If you need to talk, I'm here. At any time. Just text or call." He whispers in my ear.

"Okay, I'll figure out the time difference between there and England." I tell him and try not to cry.

"It doesn't matter. I'll always be available for you." He promises before pulling away and wiping the tears from under my eyes. He gives me a weak smile and kisses my forehead before holding me at an arms length away. "Stay strong, okay?" He tells me in question form and I finally break in his arms. Tears overflow and I pull myself back into his chest. He hugs me tightly to him as I cry and I hold onto him until his flight is called and I have to let go.

"Okay, I'm done. I'm sorry." I sniffle and wipe under my eyes. He chuckles at me and kisses my cheek one more time before he turns to follow Calum and Michael. I turn away from him so that I won't start crying again and go over to Ashton who smiles weakly at me. I give him a small smile back before I hug him and bury my face in his shoulder. My best friend and shoulder to cry on is now thousands of miles away from me.

"It's okay. You're going to see him when we get to America." He reassures me as he rubs my back to comfort me. I nod into his shoulder.

"When is that again?" I ask and pull away to wipe my eyes.

"February." He answers and leans down to give me a peck on the lips.

"It's too far away." I groan as we start walking out of the airport.

"It will fly by before you know it." Josh promises as we get to the car. "Are you guys hungry?" he asks as we climb in.

"When am I not?" Ashton asks making me giggle and Josh groan.

"Now I have to deal with you two on my own!" he groans.

"Would you like some cheese with that whine?" I tease before leaning in to kiss Ashton.

"Nope! I'm putting my foot down!" Josh starts from the drivers seat. "No lovey dovey stuff near me! No kissing, or cuddling. I'm tempted to say ever but I know you won't listen to me." He pulls the responsible brother card on us. "And if anyone asks, you're eighteen." He glares back at me making me nod my head. I know that he isn't happy with us being together and I love that he has his own opinion about it, I just wish I didn't have to hear about it all the time.

"No deal on the cuddling." Ashton speaks up. "I can't handle not cuddling with her." He looks over to me and winks making me blush.

"Whatever. You're not going to listen to me anyways." Josh grumbles as he pulls into a Nando's.

"I want my usual." I speak up then lean my head against the back of my seat and close my eyes. I already miss Luke. Even though I pushed everyone but Ashton away when I had the miscarriage I never stopped thinking of my best friend. He will always have a place in my heart.
