*Juliet's pov*
I didn't want to believe they were gone.
I still remember Hayes, before I woke up this morning.
I miss his strong arms wrapped around me. I missed his kiss.
I missed him in general.
I got out of bed and checked my phone.
No calls. No texts. And it was 11:00.
I decided to take a shower and get dressed in sweatpants, a baggy white shirt, and I put my hair in a messy bun.
I grabbed my jacket and walked out.
It has been three days since all the guys left, and never came back.
Even Matt, who lives next door, didn't even tell me he was leaving.
I was beyond pissed, and I was taking a walk in the park to clear my mind.
When that didn't help, I went back to my apartment.
My routine was like a broken record, it seemed like my life was revolving around the guys.
Well, not anymore.
I was walking to the subway and to the Coffee Corner.
I walked in and ordered my coffee.
I dialed Lesley and Michelle to hang out, and they said they would be over in a little bit.
I grabbed my coffee and ran back to the subway station.
I went into my train, and there was always that one creepy guy in that train.
I survived. Horray.
The train stopped and I walked back out. I was following the crowd that was headed outside, and I went the opposite way to my apartment.
I walked in and decided to actually get ready.
I put my hair in a side braid.
I put on a mint green sweater, jeans, and brown boots.
I didn't have to put on my makeup when I'm with my friends.
I heard a knock on the door and I answered it.
Lesley and Michelle were at the door.
"Hey girl! What do you want to do this fine day?" Michelle said. I laughed.
"I don't know, what do you guys want to do?" I asked.
"I need to shop for Christmas." She said.
"Me too! Let's go to SoHo!" I exclaimed.
I grabbed some money and we headed to the subway.
Soho wasn't that far, and we made it there fast enough to beat the rush hour.
We walked into Brandy Melville, I got a few things for myself but I also got a maxi skirt and crop top for my sister.
"Oh my god! That's so cute! Ashley will love it." Michelle smiled as we went to the cashier and paid.
"Why don't you guys sleep over tonight?" I said as we walked out.
"Yeah cool." Lesley said.
We walked into Forever 21.
I got jeans, a few sweaters, and a leather jacket.
I also got Lesley a cute necklace and for Michelle I got a nice little purse.
They thought it was for me, thank god.
"Okay, next store will be PacSun." Lesley said.
We walked in and I went straight to the penny boards.
I grabbed a blue pastel one, but it was too much money.
"I wish I can afford this." I sighed.
"Maybe next time?" Michelle asked.
I sighed and put it down.
"Guys, I have no idea what to give Hayes." I said.
"You'll think of something." Michelle said.
We walked outside after Lesley paid for her things.
Our legs were sore from walking, but we decided that we should go to Starbucks and rest.
"Have you heard from the guys recently?" I asked.
"Nope. It's totally weird that they're all gone." Lesley said.
"Yeah, and this isn't the first time they're all gone." Michelle said.
"I usually get a text from Hayes but he hasn't tried to reach me since-"
I was looking right at the most beautiful Canon EOS 7D in the display case outside of the Canon store.
"I have to get this for Hayes." I said as I walked into the store.
I got one of the workers and he got the camera for me.
"This will be $499.99 dollars." The cashier said.
"Done." I smiled.
Lesley and Michelle gave me a slap on each arm.
"OW!"
"Juliet! You can't just buy him this camera." Michelle said.
"This will be the perfect gift." I said as I gave the cashier my money. It was the money my mom gave me for emergencies.
This definitely was an emergency.
I got the camera and we walked to Starbucks, which was a few buildings over.
We ordered our drinks and sat down.
"Guys do you think that-"
My phone was buzzing.
"Hello?" I answered it.
"Juliet hey! I just wanted to call you, we landed in San Diego." Hayes said.
"Great. Call me tonight, okay?" I said.
"Okay. I miss you-"
"WHO'S THIS?!" Someone yelled.
And the line went dead.
