Smile

End of Summer, Nash and Francine

*2 weeks later*

Fran's pov:
Today is the day that we've all been dreading. It's the day all the girls, Hayes and I head back home. I cuddled up close to Nash. He was already awake. We intertwined our fingers together just enjoying our company.
A tear fell down his cheeks. I looked into his eyes and grinned weakly.

'It's gonna be just fine, I'll text you call you and whenever you need my time, I'll be there', I said, giving him a passionate kiss.

I packed the night before, so I can have more time with Nash to spend. Kata, Maria, Catherine, Sinéad and I were leaving in 6 hours, while Rachel left in 5 and Hayes and Anais are leaving in 3.

Nash's pov:
I really don't want Francine to go and neither do the others want their girlfriend to. Yesterday we all hung out together until late into night.

Francine got up and decided to take a shower and get dressed. I'm gonna miss how she got out of bed, the scent of her perfume and just her being by my side. The guys and I have already booked a flight for Thanksgiving, for 2 weeks.

Once she got out of the shower, she wore a pair of black leggings with a white crop top and my red and blue flannel that I said she could keep, alongside one of my Magcon jumpers and one of my beanies.

When I had finished, we both headed downstairs and took the keys to my truck and hit the road. We went to Starbucks for breakfast and then we went to the city park. I held her hand tightly. Once we got to a bench, I sat down, while she sat on my lap. She started to cry on my shoulder. I rubbed her back and assured her that everything was going to be alright.

'Babe, I love you and I won't leave you'. She gave me her gorgeous weak smile and gave me a kiss. I held her hand while we walked into a roofed patio, in the middle of the garden of roses. I told Francine to sit on the bench and so she did. I stood on one knee and brought out a necklace. She gasped, 'Nash, this is beautiful'. 'Yes like you', I finished.

It was a necklace that said, 'Forever Always'. 'Forever always, I will love you and care for you, even if for now you're not by my side everyday, I will forever always love you', I said. Tears started to come down her cheaks rapidly and I gave her a passionate kiss. I put the necklace on her and we headed back home to get her luggage.

*At the airport*

Fran's pov:
I held Nash's hand and waited for my flight. I cuddled up close to him. Tears ran down his face. I wiped them away and gave him a kiss. The others were as sad as Nash and I.

'Flight 3490 is boarding'
That was our flight. I got up, holding both of Nash's hands and looked into his eyes. We both smiled and gave eachother one last hug, leading into one last kiss. Tears coming down, I didn't care. Once security told us that we had to get a move on I gave him another last kiss and said in a whisper, 'Goodbye Babe'. Nash smiled and replied, 'No, see you later'.
