"I'm going to miss you so much." I said, tears forming in my eyes for about the 20th time.
"Hey hey shhh..." Lucas said, putting a finger to my lips. "We are gonna make this work."
I took a deep breath. I knew how hard long distance relationships were and I didn't want anything to happen between us.
"Why do you have to go." I said, murmuring as I leaned my head on his shoulder.
I felt his weight of his head lean onto mine. "My mom got transferred back."
He didn't say anything else, just kissing softly at my hairs.
Suddenly, the intercom went off. "356 to Texas you are now boarding."
I felt tears finally fall out slowly as I heard those words.
Lucas slowly left our position and put his hands on my shoulders. "we'll make this work."
I hugged him tightly and then kissed him on the lips passionately. I'm gonna miss those lips so much.
He started to walk away when he turned around and mouthed 'I love you'
I mouthed back 'I love you too'
It killed me to see the sad expression on his face. I watched as his figure disappeared into the plane.
I stood there, just staring blankly at the spot where I last saw him.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Riley.
"Let's get you home." She said, putting her arm around me.
I didn't say anything but I followed, looking back at the spot I last saw him.
We made it to Riley's apartment. I watched her unlock the door.
"Thanks for letting me stay here Riley." I said.
"No problem." She said, smiling warmly.
We entered the apartment which was pitch dark.
Riley turned on the lights and what I saw before me....
"Lucas??" I gasped.
I didn't do anything. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you so much." I whispered.
It was only 20 minutes but it felt like centuries.
I felt him ruffle my hair. "Maya I couldn't leave you. I asked my parents if I could stay with my aunt and they said yes."
I hugged tighter not saying anything.
He continued speaking. "Because, no matter what happens, we will be together."
