She's Fallin, Doesn't Even Know It Yet. (A Luke Hemmings Fanfic)

Chapter 31: Saying Goodbye

We were all waiting at the airport for them to board their plane to go back home. My parents, Liz, the boys and I were all there, and I wouldn't leave Michael's side. I didn't want any of the boys to leave, but it was a little different with Michael.

He's like a brother to me. But, not only a brother, a best friend. I can tell him anything and everything, and he'll listen. I know I can trust him with everything, and he knows he can trust me.

A woman's voice came over the speaker,

"Flight 46 to LA is now boarding. Please line up at the counter to show your passports. Thank you." She said and people in our terminal started to line up.

I'm glad I didn't wear makeup, because I could already feel tears threatening to fall out of my eyes when I stood up. Michael looked at me and I automatically hugged him around his torso. As soon as he hugged me back, I felt my tears start to get his hoodie wet.

I put my eyes in the crook of his neck, and had quiet sobs escaping my lips. He kept shh-ing me and rubbing my back, and I put my chin on his shoulder,

"I'm gonna miss you so much, Mikey." I whispered and he kissed my temple, hugging me again,

"I'm gonna miss you, too, sis." He said and his voice cracked a little bit, and I chuckled. "But hey, guess what." I pulled back and locked eyes with him. "I think we'll be able to come back for New Years." He smiled and I did too,

"Really?" I asked and he nodded. I hugged him again before he went to my parents. Ashton and Cal came up to me next, and Ashton hugged me and kissed my cheek, before saying goodbye, and Calum pulled away from me slightly,

"We'll be back soon, okay?" He said and I nodded. He moved a piece of hair behind my ear, "We'll be sure to FaceTime you on Christmas Eve and Christmas, alright?" He reassured me and I giggled a little bit, nodding again.

When I pulled away from Calum, I locked eyes with Luke immediately, and I felt another tear fall. He came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, and I put mine around his neck. He nuzzled into my hair,

"God, I'm going to miss you so much." He whispered and I bit my lip. At this point, it's kinda hard to speak without my throat starting to hurt,

"I'm gonna miss you too, Hemmo." I had to say it. He laughed a little bit and we reluctantly pulled apart.

He cupped my face and just looking at his watery eyes made me want to cry more. It's gonna be weird to not be able to look into them for a while. Another tear fell and he used the pad of his thumb to wipe it away,

"Please don't cry anymore." He said and I laughed a little bit, fisting his shirt. "If you keep crying, you're gonna make me cry."

"Flight 46 to LA departing in 5 minutes." The lady's voice came over the speaker again, and he looked back at me,

"I'll text you as soon as we land, okay?" He said and I nodded.

"Luke...we gotta go, dude." Ashton said and I went to pull away from him, but he pulled me back and pressed a kiss onto my forehead before hugging me again.

A part of me was kind of disappointed that he didn't kiss me, and I found myself wishing that he would've. I squeezed him tighter before slowly pulling away, and he kissed my cheek, close to my lips, and my heart skipped a beat.

"I'll talk to you soon." He said softly and I nodded, letting him let go of me and walk off.

They all looked at me one last time before they went to get on the plane, and waved. I giggled and waved back, and they turned back around, with grins covering their features.

I love those boys a lot. Oh my Lord. I can't wait till they get back.
