Saying Goodbye Is Hard To Do
Chapter 11
I awoke the next morning by Danny shaking me lightly. "Tonya honey, wake up." I let out a groan and pulled the blanket over my head not wanting to be woken. Danny just tugged at the blanket and pulled it from my head. "Come on Tonya you need to wake up. We've only got a few hours before our plane leaves and we need to finish getting ready."
"I don't want go get up." I mumbled, my eyes still closed.
"I'm sorry, but you need too." He said lightly rubbing his finger up and down my cheek.
"I don't want to. If I keep my eyes closed then I won't have to wake up and it won't be tomorrow and you won't have to leave." I heard him laugh slightly at the whine in my voice.
"I'm sorry baby but I don't think it works that way." I groaned and slowly opened my eyes to see him propped up on one elbow staring down at me. His silver chain was hanging away from his neck and I brought my hand up to play with it.
"Why do you have to leave? Why can't you stay here with me in bed?" Danny just smiled at me and leaned down to place a kiss on my forehead.
"I really wish I could, but I have to get back Tonya; I can't disappoint my fans." I let out a heavy sigh.
"I know, but I still wish you didn't have to go."
"Trust me, if there was only one place in this world I could choose to be in, it would be right here in this bed with you." I smiled and wrapped my arms around him pulling him into a tight hug. As I did this our bare skin touched and the events from the previous night came back to me, causing me to smile. When we pulled apart, Danny saw the wide smile on my face and cocked his head to the side asking 'what.' I blushed a bit and looked down at myself. He looked down too and saw the blanket pulled up over my naked body and then looked back up smiling widely.
"Did you enjoy last night?" He asked me, placing his hand on my hip. I nodded my head. "Good, because I was afraid that maybe we went too far; that you weren't ready for it yet."
"I was ready Danny." I replied placing my hand on his cheek. "And no, we didn't go too far. I have wanted to do something like that for a while now, since I've been with you. But I haven't been able to. Last night I told myself that I wasn't letting my past stand in my way anymore. I wanted to be able to get close to my boyfriend without it standing in my way. And I did, and I couldn't be anymore happier." Danny leaned down capturing my lips in a passionate kiss. Then he pulled away, resting his forehead on mine.
"I'm glad." He kissed me one more time before rolling over and getting out of bed. "I'm going to go shower, when I get back you better be up." He said giving me a stern look. I just rolled my eyes at him and nodded my head as he left. I laid in bed a few more minutes just thinking. In just a few short hours my boyfriend was leaving me. He was traveling half way around the country to go to his home. I didn't want to get out of bed, but I knew I had to. I had to pull myself together and be strong, because I knew this was going to be hard on him already, and he didn't need me crying and making it harder. I sighed heavily trying to blink back the tears that had begun to trickle down my cheeks. Then I reached on the floor for my pants and pulled them on along with my shirt and stood up to head downstairs to meet the rest of the guys for one last breakfast.
McFly
Two o'clock had regrettably come. We were on our way to the airport, sitting in the back of the limo. I had my head rested on Danny's shoulder, our fingers entwined on our laps. Across from us Harry was whispering into a whimpering Eli's ear. Tears were rolling down her cheek and she held on tightly to Harry as he tried to comfort her. Tom, Gia and Dougie were chatting away about some song that Dougie had come up with and was thinking about making it their next single. I listened to Danny's heart beat beside me. It was a steady rhythm and I felt my heart beating the same right along with it. We both stared out the window watching the scenery roll by. This was it, our last moments together before he was thousands of miles away. The next time I would get to see him was around the end of December for Christmas and Eli's wedding. Everything seemed so far away, and I felt that familiar feeling inside of me, the one I had felt all morning: the feeling to cry. I sniffed back my tears and Danny turned towards me, hearing me trying to hide my tears and he wrapped his arm around me kissing me on the top of my head. I wrapped my arms tightly around him and just held his body close to mine. I wasn't going to let go of him until he boarded the plane. That's what I had told myself.
Eventually the airport came into view and my heart dropped. Why did it have to be time? Why couldn't we have just one more day? I wasn't ready for him to leave now. I felt like I just got the chance to spend time with him, and it didn't see fair that he was leaving so soon. I knew he had responsibilities and things he had to do, but I couldn't help feeling selfish. The driver pulled up at the drop off spot, and got out to open our door. Danny was the first out, followed by me and the rest of the group. The driver handed the boys and Gia their carry on bags and bid them a farewell then pulled off. Danny grabbed my hand tightly and started into the building. We still had a few minutes before their plane boarded so we took our time walking through the building. We got to the terminal and sat down to wait. None of us felt like talking. Even though I'm sure the boys were happy to go home, they weren't happy leaving us. Even Gia looked a little upset that she had to leave already.
Finally after what felt like no time at all a voice came over the intercom announcing that the guy's flight was now boarding. Eli let out a sob and pulled Harry closer to her, I looked over and saw a tear slide down his cheek too as he tried to comfort her the best he could. We all stood up and I began to shake. I wanted to wake up and be in Danny's arms in his bed. I didn't want to have to say goodbye to him now.
We gather outside the door and all turned to look at one another. When nobody moved, Tom came to me and gathered me into a big hug. "I had a really great time here these past couple of months Tonya. I can't wait until we get to see you two again. You had better come visit us do you hear." He pulled away and I nodded at him as he placed a kiss on my cheek then moved on to Eli. Next was Gia's turn. She gave me a quick hug and told me with a wink that she'd keep as much of an eye on Danny as she could. I told her I'd was counting on her to do it and she laughed. Then it was Dougie's turn. He stepped up to me and gave me a sympathetic smile.
"I guess it's time for us to go now." He said standing there awkwardly.
"Oh Dougie." I said pulling him into a hug. Tears began to well up in my eyes but I blinked them away. "You better call me like everyday do you hear." I told him and he laughed.
"Don't worry, I will." He gave me a little kiss on the cheek.
"Tell Asha I said hi when you see her ok." He nodded his head then hugged me again. Then he pulled away from me, giving me one last wink and moved on to Eli. Harry gave me a quick hug and kiss on the cheek and told me to keep an eye on Eli for him, and I told him to keep and eye on Danny for me.
Then, the moment I was dreading the most came. It was now my time to say goodbye to Danny. He stood in front of me, and I looked up at him. Beside me Harry and Eli were doing the same, but I ignored them. I saw so much sadness in Danny's eyes. The look in them made me loose it. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and I broke out into loud sobs as I threw my arms around him. He held me tightly, and I could tell he was trying his hardest not to cry. When I pulled away from him I saw a tear fall out of his eye, and that made me pull him to me and kiss him. It was one of the longest, most passionate kisses we had had. I wanted this kiss to last forever, and I would have let it if it wasn't for the fact that the guys needed to leave in just a few minutes. We broke apart, both of us panting and leaned our foreheads against one another.
"I've got something to tell you." He said. I looked at him. "Remember the other day when you came to work and I was in there." I nodded. "Well I actually came in to talk to your boss. I asked her if there was any way that you could get a few weeks off at the end of October/ beginning of November. She said that you had days you could take and it was all up to you."
I narrowed my eyebrows at him confused. Why did he want me to take those days off? He saw the look and went on. "That's when Eli is moving over to England, and she's coming with us on tour for a few weeks. I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come too." My eyes widened in excitement.
"Yes, I would love too, if it means I get to see you sooner." He nodded his head. "Then I'll be there, as soon as I get to work tomorrow I'll put in for those days off." He looked pleased and kissed me again.
"I have something I have to tell you too." I said once we pulled away. It was now his turn to look confused. "A few weeks ago I turned in an application at a studio over in London. It is one of the bigger studios, and I've always dreamed of working there, ever since I started telecommunications at college. Well, the other day, when Eli, Gia and I went to get fitted for our dresses, my letter arrived." He looked at me waiting for me to go on. A small hopeful smile creeping upon his face. "I didn't tell anyone I applied because I was afraid I wouldn't get chosen. But I got the job Danny. They chose me for the job. I'm moving to England after the first of the year." Danny's eyes lit up with excitement and he let out a loud cheer.
"Yes!" He shouted, causing the others, and a few other people in the terminal to turn and look at us.
"What's up mate?" Tom asked confused, looking at us like we were mental.
"Tonya's moving to England!" Everybody's eyes went wide.
"What? Why?" Tom asked, excited, but also shocked.
"I got a job over there. I got my acceptance letter just a few days ago."
"Oh congratulations." Dougie said coming to me and giving me a big hug. "Why didn't you tell us before?"
"Well I wanted to wait until a great moment to tell you, and this seemed like the best time, what with everyone being sad and all."
"I'm so happy for you." Tom said also giving me a hug. Eli let out a little squeal and hugged me too.
"Now I don't have to feel so guilty about leaving you here by yourself."
"That's right." I remarked, making her smile. Just then a voice came over the intercom for a last call. The guys all groaned and said their last goodbyes.
Danny turned to me one last time. "I'm so glad you got that job Tonya, now I'll be able to see you more often."
"I know but I'm not moving over there until after the first of the year."
"I know, but you'll at least be living in the same continent as me."
"Yeah, I will." I smirked at him. He stared at me a bit longer than kissed me and pulled away.
"I better be going now. I'll call you as soon as the plane lands ok."
I nodded. "You better." He winked at me then turned to walk away; Harry right by his side. Once they reached the door they both turned back to look at us and waved. We blew them kisses and they caught them, placing them on their hearts. With one last smile they turned and walked through the door, the lady closing it behind them. Eli leaned her head against mine and wrapped her arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around her.
"It's so sad to watch them leave isn't it?" She sighed.
"Yeah it is." I agreed staring at the door.
"Well at least we only have to wait a month, and then we get to go see them again."
I felt excitement rise inside of me. "Yeah you're right. This better not be a long month." I said as we turned and started walking back to the entrance of the airport.
"Don't worry it won't be. We have so much stuff to get done. I have to pack, find a sub leaser, finish getting stuff ready for the wedding, pick out a cake and what kind of dishes I want to use at the reception. I have to get my name taken off the bills and switched into your name."
"Whoa girl, let's worry about all of that later." I said as we stopped in front of the window and looked out at the guy's plane.
"Well there's just so much to be done, and I don't have all that much time to do it in."
"Don't worry, you'll get it done." The guy's plane began to take off and we watched it go down the runway, and then begin to lift into the air.
"They're going….going…"The plane got smaller and smaller until finally it was nothing but a black speck. I sighed heavily. "Gone."
