the guy at the party

47.- leaving for digi.

        I woke up, dreading it. I hate the fact that today's the last day I'm going to see him for a month. I hate the fact I have to let him go. I hate it.
   I turned onto my side, seeing that Zach was already awake and staring at me.
  "ugh." I said, rolling into his arms and resting my head upon his chest.
  Zach stroked my hair gently.
  "I know." He whispered.
  I enjoyed the feeling of his skin touching mine. I closed my eyes, picturing him on stage, having fun. Then there's me, home, stressing out.
  Zach sat up and pulled me up along with him.
  He brushed his lips against mine.
I rested my head on his shoulder.
    "I'm not ready for today.." I whispered and he pulled me closer to his chest.
  "I know."
  He ran his fingers through my tangled hair.
In a few moments, we were both up and dressed and only a few moments away from leaving for the airport.
  Nick had come over to babysit me, just Incase anything happens while Zach was gone.
  "Ready?" Zach asked, suitcase in hand.
  I sighed.
  "You want me to tell you the truth or what you want to hear?" I asked, smirking.
"What I wanna hear." He replied.
  I smiled.
"Yes Zach!! I'm so excited for you!!" I said sarcastically.
  "Now tell me the truth." His smile faded.
  "No. I'm not ready to let you go." I replied, trying not to cry.
  Zach pulled me into a hug and Nick watched as we swayed back and forth.
  "I love you bro, ima miss you." Nick stated, jumping in.
  When the hug broke, we knew we had to get going..
  Zach took my hand and led me to the car. We packed the trunk tightly with Zachs bags, and I was almost completely silent.
  I sat in the front seat, Zach climb into the passengers.
  When he turned the key, my heart dropped down to the floor and shattered into a million pieces.
  We drove 31 minutes to the airport and found our gate.
  We stood at gate 5 waiting for the announcement that it was time to aboard the plane.
  "Zach?" I asked.
  He glanced at me.
  "Yes?" He replied.
I smiled.
  "No signing anyone's tit. And also I've never been a real good groupie so I'm sorry. But I love you and I want you to have as much fun as you can.. okay?" I teared.
  Zach didn't reply, he just kissed me. While everybody watched, he kissed me as passionate as ever. 
  He pulled away.
  "Chloe?" He asked.
"Yes?" I replied.
" I'm not interested in anybody's tits but yours, and it's okay baby. And you know I wouldn't go without you if you were able to go."
  I placed my head on his chest, feeling his fingers run through my hair.
  I took in the feeling of being his arms, and broke at the fact that that was being taken from me in a matter of minutes.
  Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Zach. I'm proud of him. It just kind of sucks that I'm not able to experience this with him. And that I'm going to be freaking out the whole time he's gone.
  "You may aboard plane at gate 5." A voice broke out over the loud speaker.
  Zach pulled away from my hug, and stared into my eyes giving me a scarce look.
  "Go." I stated, except now I was crying.
  He kissed me gently.
  "Close your eyes.." he demanded.
  "Why?" I asked.
"Because there's no way I'm going to be able to get on that plane if you're watching." He said.
  I closed my eyes.
  I could feel him tugging my hand, and letting it go as he got further away from me.
  "Goodbye Zach. See you soon." I whispered.
A tear rolled down my cheek.
  I opened my eyes.
  "Last call for gate 5." The speaker broke out again.
  5 minutes later and I had to watch the plane leave.
  I missed Zach instantly. I'm so scared for all that's about to happen, but I know that it'll be okay. It'll be okay.
