So this is it. The last chapter of our Danny and Ella adventure. I don't think I'm going to write another sequel – they've had all the drama they can handle =]
I will be posting an epilogue within the next week, just to give you a look-see into the future. It'll be cuteee.
ALSO! I'm uploading ANOTHER one-shot. It's a Harry Judd one for all you Judd-Lovers =] It's called "These Situations Are Irrelevant" - go check it out!
************
Everything always tends to start, and end, in an airport for me. It's one of the most popular places for lives to connect or disconnect, all within a matter of hours. Millions of people pass through on a daily basis – some of them locals and some of them from foreign countries. Though each and everyone one of them have at least one thing in common: to find their way home. Some take longer than others, maybe they try a few connecting flights before they find the right place, but in the end everyone ends up where they want or need to be. And to think – I used to hate airports. I never noticed the magic hidden inside them.
"I do not want you to leave," Danny mumbled as his arms securely locked around my waist, guarding me against his body. I sighed as a small smile touched my lips, letting my head fall against his chest. He was warm and his t-shirt smelled of musk and a certain scent that belong strictly to Danny Jones. I was going to miss it so much...
"I know... but I have to," I couldn't help but feel as though our positions had changed. I had once been the one arguing against my departure and he'd been the one reminding me I had to leave. My smile grew wider.
"No. You don't have to do anything. This is a free country. You can do whatever you want to do-"
"Danny, I have to go back to school. No way around it, I'm afraid," I interrupted him before his mood became completely frustrated. I didn't want him to have such a negative connotation towards our last few hours together. I wanted them to mean something.
"... I know," Danny eventually sighed, sadness hanging off every letter. I pulled my head away from his chest and brought one of my hands up to hold his cheek. His eyes bore down into mine with such intensity in his stare that I had to blink and look away.
"Things will be different," he promised me after a few moments of silence. He had decided to speak what his eyes were previously trying to say.
"I know," I sighed, nodding my head as he leaned his forehead down against mine. There were so many different meanings to his one short sentence. Things really were going to be different. My next vacation was going to be the summer. We were going to have all the time in the world together. Yet to get there it was going to be hard work. My heart was going to be tested, seeing if I could trust Danny for so long and at such a great distance for the second time. And Danny would be working to prove his worth – hopefully to prove to me that I can trust him – to prove that I have nothing to fear.
And, in some crazy way, that was the reason I was ready to leave. I wanted to test our newly rekindled relationship. I wanted to prove, not only to the world, but also to myself that I could trust Danny. I was willing and ready to discover just how durable we were. Every relationship went over their bumps and fell into potholes. It just took really strong relationships to work together to get back on the right track.
"No... I'm going to miss YOU more..." Danny and I both looked to our right at the sound of the whispers emanating from the couple standing a few feet away from us. Dougie had on arm swung protectively over Maddy's shoulder, and her arm was lightly placed around his hips. Her head was bent into his shoulder as she whispered a reply with a small blush creeping up her cheeks.
It was odd to think that three or four months ago Danny and I were Dougie and Maddy. With their newly kindled love and their fresh start at a relationship they had about the same chance of staying together as Danny and I originally had. My heart tightened with a slight fear for I was slightly worried that one of them would end up hurting the other. Could they possibly be as lucky as Danny and I had been?
"I can't believe you're just going to leave me here with a love-sick Dougie. He's going to be complaining for weeks," Danny ended up whispering in my ear as he turned away from our friends, spinning me so they were out of our view. I laughed and rolled my eyes before pecking his lips playfully.
"I think you and Dougie can keep each other company then. You can console each other," I joked sarcastically as he lightly massaged my lower back with his locked arms. His smile suddenly became very serious.
"I really will be calling you every night at nine o'clock on the dot. Dougie will probably get sick of my complaints," he explained, his words slightly amusing though his tone was oddly serious. I knew he couldn't be joking.
"And I'll be there to answer the phone. Maddy will probably get sick of me as well so I'll have plenty of venting to do," I grinned, kissing his lips lightly once again.
The innocent peck that I had meant it to be transformed into a much deeper, meaningful embrace. Our kiss was like the final seal on a promising, lasting envelope - and inside it held the love letter from one lover to the other, promising their heart and soul on just a few pieces of paper. Our kiss was our promise. Our hearts were in our letter.
"Are you two ready? I think you're about to break a few Public Indecency laws if you don't separate right now..." Dougie's chuckling voice laughed idiotically from our right, making Danny and I jerk apart with immense speed.
"Shut up, Doug," Danny chuckled, smiling in slight annoyance as his arm slid over my shoulders. In his other hand he took one of my bags while I gingerly lifted up the other. In a slightly eerie way, Dougie and Maddy mimicked our positions and followed a few steps behind us, going back to their own personal world as we all made our way to the gate. The entire atmosphere was melancholy.
"Gate C, flight 601 to Manchester," I sighed sadly as the familiar French accented woman's voice announced my flight over the intercom. Reality had set in and it was time to leave my beautiful dream.
"I'm going to miss you," Danny whispered in my ear as we approached security. It was time for him to go.
"I'm going to miss you, too," I replied honestly, realizing just how saddening this entire situation was. Our vacation wasn't nearly as long or as euphoric as it should have been. So much time had been wasted...
"Listen to me, Ella. You're going to get on that plane, go back to school, be super brilliant and smart, get an epic job, and be so successful in your life. And I'm going to be right here every step of the way," Danny gingerly picked up my hand and laced his fingers through mine, showing me what he meant, "I'll be here to laugh and comfort and cry with you, okay? And I'll always be here to kick assholes like Aaron to the ground. I'll be by your side in a second, okay?" I could tell he was getting nervous. His words were quickening and his eyes were darting around the terminal. I wanted to settle his worries.
"I know, Danny. I love you," I sighed, leaning into him once again and allowing our lips to meet. His fingers squeezed mine before he lightly stroked the moon and star ring that he'd placed there a week before. He'd made me promise not to take it off.
"Are you ready?" I heard a sniffily voice ask from beside me, pulling me out of Danny's world. My gaze locked onto the puffy, wet eyes of Maddy, which she was unsuccessfully trying to dab away. I glanced over at Dougie who was biting his own lip, his hand clasping hers tightly.
"Yeah, I'm ready," I answered, nodding in her direction before slowly slipping out of Danny's grasp. Maddy and I rushed through security, looking over our shoulder's the entire time, making sure Danny and Dougie were still standing there. As I gathered up my carry-on bag from the conveyor belt, I glanced over one final time.
"Goodbye, Danny," I called, biting my lip to hold back the tears.
"See you later, Ella," he mouthed back, his eyes locking onto my own before their sad, yet determined gaze finally disappeared around the corner.
