   Rubbing her eyes della grew annoyed that her phone was ringing at four in the morning

She quickly recognized the contact as her boyfriend, Dylan. Why was her calling her so early though? Good question

"Please make this quick before I sob into this damn phone." Her voice was sharp but groggy as she just woke up

Dylan sighed with excitement "Yeah I'm sorry baby, but listen." He paused and the Monet girl could practically see his smile

"I got a lead role for a movie and it shoots in a week." Oh great! Della sighed. She truly was happy for the man but did she really need to know this now "I'm very happy for you seriously, but did you have to call me at four."

Teasing him she laughed quietly

However that disappeared real quick when she didn't hear anything "Uh Dylan, is everything ok?" The boy lightly stuttered as he had to give the girl shocking news

"The movies filmed in Italy." He swallowed and Della did too.

Italy? How on earth would they still date from other side of the planet. But nonetheless didn't want to show any doubt "Oh. Uh it's ok, we can talk beforehan—"

Della was cut off abruptly. "My flight leaves in 2 hours. I'm at the airport right now." Dylan exhaled quite a heavy breathe, as he felt bad. But at the same time this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and he wasn't gonna just dismiss it

Especially not if it was just to stay and date some girl. No, never in a millions years

"Dylan, you're white ass better be lying right now." She laughed and shook her in disbelief, because now all her grogginess went away

Now, she was mad "Dylan you can't just drop stuff like this. We're dating, you don't just get to pick up your life and tell me two hours before you go."

"I know Della, I'm sorry, but it wasn't really my choice.

He sighed and lowered his head "I just, I can't turn down this opportunity." Well now Della feels bad as she can literally hear the desperation in his voice

"I know you can't." She smiled softly to herself before getting out of bed

The two talked for a few moments more before the call ended. Quickly the girl began getting a sweater and her shoes on

Leaving her apartment and sliding into her car she began driving to the airport. Dylan didn't know, but why would she let him leave without saying bye face to face

When she pulled up to the airport she realized his flight has already started boarding people

Immediately she began walking fast to get where she needed to

Getting past tsa was a breeze as all she had to do was explain her situation and sign autographs for the tsa agents

Della's head spinning as she scanned the building trying to find him

She needed to find him

Just as she got to the last gate after 15 minutes she heard the last call for a flight to italy

She whipped her head around and there he was

Dylan was just now walking on to the gate after taking pictures with fans. Della knew this maybe wasn't the best place for a goodbye, as there was fans everywhere

But right now she was thinking with her heart and not her head

The girl never knew her feet could that fast but they did. Though she realized he was way to far in front of her

Pulling out her phone she clicked his contact and heard the ring. He picked up the phone and she watched him stop walking

"Della? I have to get on my flight right now." His  voice was laced with confusion. Ddella kept walking she spoke "I know you do."

He apologized to the gate agents and stepped aside "Baby it's the last call, I have to go. But know that I call and text you every day." He smiled

"And I'll hold you to that but I wanted to say goodbye." She could hear him getting ready to speak just as she did first "But not over the phone."

Just then she hung up and took her last step and ended up behind dylan

The boy furrowed his brows, he didn't know what she walking about. As he turned around he saw della standing in front of him and felt his heart swell

She got here, for him.

Leaping forward della wrapped her arms around him and smiled

Both had huge smiles on their faces and swayed in the hug. "I had to say goodbye in person. I wish you the best of opportunities out there and I know the movie is going to be great."

Not many words needed to be exchanged because their smiles and body language was talking for them

Hearing those words dylan pulled out of the hug and looked into her eyes

"Thank you Della. I'll make sure to keep in touch with you, okay?" He nodded and della mirrored his actions

For a hot second they went silent then her realized he absolutely needed to get on his flight right at this second

Taking his chance he leaned forward and pressed his lips against his girlfriends, moving in rhythm with her

della kissed him back but broke away because she couldn't stop smiling

Pulling away dylan grabbed his bags and checked in at the gate. Turning to his girlfriend for the last time he realized he had to go for it

"I love you."

Though it was sweet, della couldn't help but feel her heart break in two. He wasn't the man she wanted to hear the from

But nonetheless she smiled and waved "be safe."

And with that he was off

Little did della know that those three words he just said would be completely thrown to the side. His actions wouldn't mirror his words and that was going to cause trouble

But hey, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer
