Louis's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning at 8:30. I had fallen asleep in the guest bed that Lara was occupying. I reached for my phone and opened Y/n's WhatsApp.
"Good morning, love", I typed. I was about to hit "send" when it dawned on me. We had broken up. It had slipped my mind. My heart sunk and a lump rose in my throat. I sucked it up and got out of bed.

I headed over to the mirror and examined my worn out face. I had black bags under my red eyes and my hair was messier than usual. I looked half dead. I put on the an oversized grey sweater mad some jeans that I had set aside on the dresser.

I headed downstairs to get breakfast. Amy was near the fridge, Malina was eating cereal, Lara was watching the TV.

Amy: Good morning, Louis.

Louis: Hey

Malina: Hi

Lara: Heya. We're leaving in 20 minutes. Are you packed?

Louis: Yeah...

I made myself some toast and set on the table in front of me. I tried eating but I couldn't bring myself to. I stared at my food with disgust.

Amy: What's wrong? You love toast.

Louis: Nothing. I'm just tired.

Amy didn't believe my lie but didn't push me.

Amy: Anyways... Have you seen Y/n?

My heart shattered at the sound of her name. Did Amy not know about our break up?

Amy: She isn't answering her phone.

I gulped and blinked tears away.

Louis: N-No. I don't know where she is...

Amy: Okay... Bring your suitcase down when you're ready.

I nodded, avoiding eye contact. I watched TV with Lara. I kept dozing off. All I could think about was her.

Amy's dad drove us to the airport. Amy in the driver's seat, Lara, Malina and I in the back. It was a rainy day. The rain tapped the window rhythmically. Malina's flight was tomorrow so she accompanied us alongside Amy.

The car came to a halt and we got out. We got our suitcases out of the trunk and headed inside. Heathrow Airport was the closest international airport to Oxford so that's where our flight was going.

"The flight 118 to Heathrow Airport, England will be in gate 12. Boarding at 9:40, final call at 10", said the intercom.

It was 9:40. Lara, Malina, Amy and her dad went to get some snacks, leaving me alone at the check-in counter. I leaned on a pole and examined the airport.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared. I saw h/c hair, dazzling e/c eyes. The girl ran towards me. My heart skipped a beat. Y/N! She slowed down and hesitantly looked at me. I ran into her arms and spun her around, not caring what the people around us thought.        A smile grew on my face. I had my love back in my arms.

I put her down and she pulled away. Her eyes were as red as mine. She looked deep into my eyes. We seemed to have a silent conversation. I touched her cheek and kissed her. It was a deep and passionate kiss. I never wanted to let her go. We pulled away from each other.

Y/n: I-I didn't come to get back together with you... I came to say "goodbye".

Even though my heart was filled with sorrow, I was happy to have her in my arms.

Louis: Thank you...for coming back. I don't know how I'm going to live without you but, I guess I'll have to figure it out...

We sadly smiled at eachother. Her eyes became glossy and so did mine. Were they tears of sadness or joy? No one knew. Both, maybe...

"Final call for flight 118 to Heathrow Airport at gate 12", said the lady behind the check in desk.

Lara appeared behind Y/n. I quickly pecked Y/n's soft lips for the last time.

Louis: Goodbye, Y/n L/n

Y/n: Goodbye, Louis Hynes

I dragged my suitcase to the gate and shot her one last glance. I waved and disappeared alongside my sister in the crowd of people.
