Flashback

" Hey, Lizzy why are you in such a rush? Come sit down, relax have a drink." It was just the situation I was trying to hide from. There sat my younger brother Tom, my soon to be gone boyfriend Danny and there best mates Harry and Dougie. If I stayed to have a drink with the guys it would lead to more heart ache and anguish that should ever be put on a human being. Even though in the end if my plan did work correctly I would have still tarnished their hearts. Especially Danny's and I don't know what Tom would have done.

Now that is a scary thought.

I remember so vividly, the clock reading 9:00 PM, leaving a huge pit in my stomach. It was my only chance to get to experience my true dreams. And dear god if I didn't catch that plane heading for the states in about three hours. I don't know when my other chance to leave would be.

Indeed I would miss each and every person I was leaving behind. My friend, my family and most of all Danny.

"Tom, I can't. I mean, you know I would take you up on the offer any other time. But not now." By that point I was standing in the living room watching tom's eyebrows scrunch into his confused face.

"Come on liz, if you rather go to a pub with your friends we won't mind. Will we guys?." Like i really needed to hear [bhis[/b voice. [bHis[/b voice was making it so much harder to open the front door and go to my awaiting cab. Just looking at his silky smooth dark brown hair with his cap tilted to the side; made me want to cancel my flight.

But do remember Liz, danny was the one that helped you realized what [byou could be doing.[/b

"No...no I'm not going out to see my friends. Im actually...well I was hoping. I have to go. I'll miss you all/"

"Lizzy! what's going on. Come on, we won't care." Tom's scrunched brow no longer looked confused but concerned.

And I didn't blame him.

I thank god that I didn't just sprint out of the room right then and there or i really don't know how my future would have ended up.

Gotta thank Tom for that someday.

"You might hate me after tonight."

"Nuh, I don't think it's possible. I mean tom talks about you constantly and danny gushes over you...we-"

It was too painful to hear how much Danny loved me from harry. Then here I was being the heartbreaker and running off to the united states just to see if I had a future in the design business.

I know, I really did suck back then.

"Im leaving, meaning I'm getting on a plane in about three hours and truthfully I don't know when I will see you guys again." That moment still replays in my mind, the moment where I couldn't take the silence and their anguish faces anymore.

Yes I did the only thing that I could do. I broke down. I couldn't handle being strong and fierce anymore.

Truth is I was scared Shitless.

I didn't stop completely crying until I found a pair of arms slither around my waist and gently bring my head into the crook of his neck. The smell I knew oh so well, Danny's. Just by his embrace I knew he understood what was going on. Soon after a whisper trailed into my ear saying 'I didn't know you were serious, when we talked.'

As I turned around I saw my glassy eyed brother staring straight at the floor.

I couldn't stand to see him like this but I knew he would eventually forgive me for leaving him. It was already tough getting to see my brother with his band traveling all over.

It is there career.

"Where are you going?" Dougie said hugging his knees on the couch.

"Erm... across the Atlantic ocean."

"WHAT, holy fucker Elizabeth. Why couldn't you choose a closer location to move too."

"I'm sorry, I really am. I just kinda found a job over there."

"As what?" Even to this day I can still feel Danny's touch against my skin as he held me close while tom spat out his words.

"Don't fucking say it like that, Tom. And for your information I got a job as an artwork manager in New York City."

I could sense a beam of jealousy shoot from Tom eyes to my body.

In honesty the look made me feel disgusting. I knew how bad he wanted to go to New York City. I remember when the band took their families on holiday to Disney World in Florida.

Now I felt like the bitch going to New York City, when I knew how bad Tom dreamed of the band finding success in the states.

"As much as I want to stay here, I do have to catch my flight." An uneasy rustle shifted through the group. Danny soon released his grip from around my waist once harry made the first move to say 'goodbye'.

"I'll miss ya, Liz. But im sure not as much as danny." I giggled as harry finished giving me a hug soon receiving a shove to the head from danny.

Guys.

"Aww man who am I gonna share my new iguana with. Since these quacks don't care about pinkie already."

"Uhh dougie do you really think your gonna get a new iguana with Mcfly starting there new tour?"

"Mhm...good point, well I'll still miss you."

Gotta love the kid.

"Now tom are you going to stay in that corner and not give your older sis a big hug while she leaves for a country that she knows no one in?" I definitely made him feel a bit guilty there.

"Alright ,alright. Get over here you." I swiped the few tears that were stationary on his cheek away and wrapped my arms around him giving the biggest hug humanly possible.

I will most definitely miss him. Finally pulling away he asked; "when will mum and dad, find out."

"Is it possible to receive email's on a cruise ship?" I contorted my face into a position that always made danny smile, all I wanted to do was see his smile. And just like that his lips curled up revealing a perfect teeth and sparkling eyes.

I hoped he didn't hate me.

"Come one baby, I'll help you with your bags." Danny gently held out his hand as my tiny hand fit perfectly inside his. Just holding his hand made my stomach flip all over the place. Like danny said he would, he helped me to the car.

After the car was packed, as much as my head knew I should leave my feet wouldn't budge. They felt like cement.

I couldn't take it anymore, I remember feeling constricted with emotion. I wanted danny to understand how much I cared and loved for him.

To label the feeling, vulnerable would work.

I was petrified that I could loose him if I didn't do something.

I needed to do something meaningful; the only thing crossed my mind.

Kiss him like no tomorrow.

And that is what I did.

Our lips collided with each other ,out of all of the kisses danny and I have shared this one had to be on the top two list. His tongue soon rubbed against my bottom lip, as if it was begging to be let in.

Of course the kiss deepened and as it did I wrapped my arms around his freakily neck crashing my finger tips underneath his beanie and onto his soft hair. It didn't take too long for danny to engulf my waist with both his arms.

It was me who pulled away first, I don't think neither of us wanted it to end there. It was getting to harder for myself to leave after a kiss like that. I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck bringing my lips; softly to his ear.

"Danny, you can't just leave me with a kiss like that. What is happening with us. Please don't give up on us. I know it will be hard but you can call me. I'll even fly out for shows and holidays; And just please I don't know what would happen if you say you don't want to be with me anymore. Danny don't loo-" In mid sentence, again Danny's lips collided with mine.

Hey I wasn't complaining. Yet.

Although at the end of this kiss it wasn't like others it felt strange and that's when it hit me.

I loved Danny Alan David Jones.

No it was no longer that 'teen love' or the ' puppy love'. It was love.

The feeling that many are afraid that it will never occur to them, but there I was in the arms of the only set of arms I wanted to be in. As we stared into each others eyes, his mouth slowly stated those three words and his eyes never leaving my face.

"I love you Elizabeth Mckenzie Fletcher."

A huge smiled graced my lips and my knees weakened by how perfect my named sounded when he said it. I kept my self in his embrace just a little bit longer then I too exchanged those words looking into his shining eyes.

"I love you Danny Alan David Jones. Always and forever."

"We'll make it through, just fine. I'll miss you." He still had that playful grin as he brought his arms back to his side leaving my waist feeling naked ,even though I was in my heavy sweat pants.

That's how much I needed him.

Danny soon shut the cab door while the driver started the engine; I rolled down the window to take one last look at him.

A barley audible 'I love you' escaped my mouth ,only to be met with the same response back as the driver slowly back out of my old home.

And to think we were so young.
