“We’re leaving” he blurted out as I had barely walked through the door.
“What do you mean you’re leaving?” I laughed at him.
His face was completely straight and I dropped my smile.
“What do you mean you’re leaving?” I repeated, this time more seriously
“We have a lot of stuff to do and management want us in LA tomorrow. We leave this afternoon.” He hung his head, looking at the floor.
That’s why the girls were still sat with them, they wanted to spend as much time with the boys as they could.
I dropped my keys and phone onto the counter, covering my face with my hands.
I walked over to Michael and fell into his arms.
He was my best friend. They all were. They’re leaving and not coming back until god knows when. I buried my head in his chest and took a deep breath.
“This really sucks” I whispered.
“Tell me about it” I heard a voice from the door. I pulled away from Michael and craned my neck toward the door to see the rest of the guys. I gestured for them to join a group hug, I held them all tight and tried so hard not to cry.
“We need to go back to our house, get packed up, and go to the airport.” Calum explained, I pulled away and nodded.
“This is all happening way too fast guys. But have fun I guess” I smiled at them, starting to walk away.
I loved them so much but I couldn’t miss this meeting, none of us could, we could lose our partnership and then what would I do as a job, I’m qualified for nothing.
“Where are you going?” asked Luke as I walked out of the door
“I have a meeting, I don’t get back until 3. You guys will probably be gone by then” I smiled weakly, “Actually we all do” I realized.
I saw Ashton’s face drop and I remembered about Sam.
I couldn’t let them leave each other like this, not this soon.
“Wait here” I said and ran up the stairs to Sam’s room.
I slowly opened her door to see her curled up into a ball on her bed, crying.
“Sammie” I sighed and walked over to hug her tight. She opened up and hugged me back, sniffing.
“I don’t want him to go Adi” she cried
“I don’t want any of them to go either” I replied.
“What do I do? What if he finds somebody else?”
“He won’t”
“How do you know that?”
“Because he loves you. It’s you he has feelings for, not any bimbo he’s going to meet on tour.”
“He can’t just leave”
“Sammie” I sighed again, I put my finger under her chin and lifted her head to look at me, her eyes were puffy and red from crying, “Stay here”
“What do you mean?” she frowned
“I mean, stay here, with Ash and the boys, until they have to go. Go to the airport with him and say goodbye.”
“But the meeting”
“There’s going to be three of us there, we can tell you what happens. They’ll understand”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive”
She hugged me tighter, wiped the running make up from under her eyes and started to get some clean clothes out of her drawer. I walked out of the room and left her to it.
When I got back downstairs, Ash was pacing the living room, when he saw me he ran over in a panic.
“Is she okay?! Tell me she’s okay!” he babbled
I reached out and put both hands on his shoulders to try and calm him down, “She’s fine” I saw him relax, “Go” I said and gestured up the stairs. He ran past me to her room.
Luke turned to look at me. They all looked stressed about everything. I smiled at him from the corner of my mouth. He walked over and hugged me tight, I held him tightly back. This felt like more than a friendship hug. This felt like an,
I’m-going-to-miss-you-so-much-I-can’t-live-without-you
Kind of hug.
Luke and I had never been any more than best friends but recently I’ve been seeing him in a different way, he catches my eye across the room a lot of the time and it’s not like we say anything, we sort of stare at each other. Like we’re silently telling each other,
“You’re hot and I want to be with you a lot right now but that would be wrong and weird because you’re my best friend”
I was going to miss him like hell. We must’ve been stood there for about 5 minutes before I heard Violet and Lori stumble out of their rooms. We had to go to this meeting. I pulled away from Luke,
I felt like I was pulling away from hugs far too much.
I looked at him to see he had watery eyes, that’s when I realized I did too.
“You ready?” Violet asked
“Yeah” I smiled weakly and the three of us turned to the other three and we just stared at each other.
“I’m going to miss you guys so much” Lori whispered and we all just automatically mushed into a group hug.
We must’ve stood there like that for another 2 minutes.
Eventually, somebody had to pull us apart, we were late for the meeting as it was, but minus Sam? We were going to be in trouble. Of course, the ‘somebody’ that had to pull us apart was me.
Goodbyes suck. Even if they are only temporary.
We walked out of the front door. I told the guys that Sam was going to stay here and go to the airport with them to say goodbye to Ash. The girls got into the car and I was about to get in too when I looked up at Luke. He was smiling weakly at me.
I ran over to him and swung my arms around his neck. He held me tight,
“I’m going to miss you loser. Don’t have too much fun without me” I felt him laugh a little when I said that.
I walked back to the car and got into the driver’s seat. I pulled off of the drive and waved at the guys as they stood on the drive and waved back, and just like that.
We were gone.
