Update; what did I tell you?
It didn't take that long; and by the way
expect a detail from the third book at the end of the chapter.

Louis' POV
"What do you mean there is no early flight out?"
This cannot be happening again.
Our concert ran late, ending at an astonishing three at dawn and the next flight to the States was at seven in the morning, which would be twelve in the afternoon Eastern Time; by the time we get there, it's almost going to be nine at night!
We're not going to be able to make it; we've betrayed Sofia once again and this time, we're not going to be able to get her back.
How foolish had we been; Zayn was right.
We should have told her before it became too late, it would've kept her from believing false things; things that we knew were fantasies and her oblivion hid it all.
"Guys, guys; we can make it! There's a flight and it leaves in . . . thirty minutes." Liam slowly said as we all looked at each other; we were in our hotel suite, calling up every airliner to see if there was any flight available.
"Then what the hell are we doing here?" Harry exclaimed, grabbing his carry-on and running out the door, being followed by the rest of us.
We sprinted through the lobby, our Range Rover luckily pulling up at the right time.
"What are you buys doi-"
"To the airport; step on it!" Zayn shouted to the driver as he nervously switched gears, propelling the vehicle forward at its full speed.
The airport was already warned that we would be coming and us being a well-known band, did not have to go through security because the staff knew who we were . . . thank God.
As we raced to the gate, which just so happened to be the last one in the east wing of the airport, I remember only hearing my own heart beat; going a hundred miles per hour and I was grinning as if there was no tomorrow.
We were so hopeful that we would make it and that everything would be alright; peaches and cream. We must've been drugged because we were far beyond delusional.
We weren't wrong about being able to make it to the airport on time; we were wrong about actually thinking that the plane wouldn't be delayed.
We watched the departure and arrival screen for a few minutes, disbelief roaming through our veins as we tried to take it all in; seeing that none of the people waiting were on a rush, it was just us.
The plane was being delayed to eight in the morning; scattered showers were the force that held the plane back from descending into the airport.
The frustration that followed afterwards was what made me go mad; scattered showers?
Goddamn, we've been through storms to get to the venue and that didn't stop us yet scattered showers were the cause of all of this?
I'm telling you, it's surreal how fast the chance was taken away from us.
We did all that was needed to get Sofia back and this is what happens? Right at the brink of securing her into our lives, she is pulled away from us?
"The next flight is at six." Liam whispered, not audible to the rest of the people around us, but crystal in our ears.
"Huh."
And that's when I realized we wouldn't be able to make it.
No matter if the flight had been on time; or the hugest miracle had happened, we wouldn't have made it because it wasn't mean to be that way.
I'm sorry, Sofia; I'm sorry for betraying you, for lying to you multiple times. I'm sorry for making you believe that we were going to make it when we had a clear picture that we would not; I'm sorry for not being there when you needed it, but most of all...
I'm sorry for letting you go.
and the detail(s) [ I'm feeling generous ] :
a) the third book is set to be a couple of years later
b) the question that a few of you have been asking ( is 5SOS going to be joining the mix? ) is going to be answered with a definite:
Yes, 5 Seconds of Summer will be involved in the third book; as to what happens with them, I'm not going to say.
now, as for a question:
I could end this book right now, but . . . I'm going to leave it up to you to decide. Do you want me to post the last chapters of this book immediately (as of right after this chapter is posted) or . . . do you want to wait and take it easy?
Comment what you think; let's see.
Hope you guys enjoyed the update; there's more from where that came from.
I'm staying true to my word this time around.
Love all of you; I can't wait to show you what's yet in store.
