Chapter 12: Flight
Dougie´s POV:
I was shocked. No, I couldn´t put the right words on what I felt right now. Maria stood in front of me. She was really there. She opened her mouth but stopped to take a deep breath. "Hey," she whispered. "Hey," I replied not really knowing what to say. "I´m sorry," she continued still whispering. "Me too," I said still not knowing what to say. I was just about to open my mouth to ask her what she was doing here, when Anna and Chris ran over to us. Chris was chasing Anna who laughed as she ran clumsily. Marian came running after them out of breath. "I´m sorry, I couldn´t keep them under control," she said breathing heavily. "Who´s that lady?" Anna asked and pointed at Maria as I picked her up. "That is…mommy," I answered and looked at Maria hesitantly but she smiled at me. Anna started struggling to get out of my arms and I sat her down again. She ran to Maria and hugged her leg tightly. Maria picked her up and held her close. I saw a tear roll down Maria´s cheek. After all, she had not seen Anna or Chris in 2 years now. Chris was now hugging Maria´s other leg and looking up at her. He smiled at her cutely. I was standing there looking at my family enjoying the sight of Maria being back with us.
Henry´s POV:
I had, had an amazing time in London with Harry, and when the time came I didn´t want to leave. I was so overwhelmed to see Maria again here and I had missed her so much. She explained to me how it had been in Africa. She and Paul had started dating after a while in Africa and everything went well for a short amount of time. Maria had felt so bad about only using Paul as a shoulder to cry on that she broke up with him. The worst part that ruined everything was that when Maria had broken up Paul had given up his dream and went back to California. I didn´t understand why Maria hadn´t told me this before. She had cried when she told me about her whole relationship with Dougie and how she ruined everything.
"Henry?" Harry asked waving a hand in front of my face. I shook my head as I got back to reality. These were the last few moments I had with Harry and I didn´t want to spoil them by daydreaming. "Oh, sorry," I told him and faked a smile. Why did my entire life have to be in California? Why did California have to be so far away from England? Why did this great time have to end? I had to abrupt end those thoughts as they made me depressed. I would save those thought for tonight when I would cry myself to sleep. Harry lifted my chin and smiled at me. "Why don´t you stay here with me? You can live with me and then you can get a job here-" Harry spoke and I giggled as he kept on trying to come up with excuses for me to stay here with him. I shook my head and leaned up to kiss him. If only things were that easy. I sighed and grabbed my bag as the speaker system announced the last call for my plane. I walked away when Harry didn´t make a movement at all. I had just gotten off the escalator when stopped. I grabbed my phone quickly and dialed Maria´s number. "Hello?" her voice spoke. "Hey, Maria, I need your help," I spoke and was freaking out. There was still a short line of people boarding the plane in front of me so I still had a few minutes. "What is it?" she asked. I didn´t know how to describe my problem, and I soon realize that I didn´t have to. I shook my head. What was I doing here? Harry and I could make things work. My favorite saying came into my mind; Don´t let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game. I knew then what I had to do. The stewardess in front of me asked if I was going to board the plane and Maria´s voice in my phone kept asking me what was wrong. "Never mind," I said and hung up the phone and started running back to the escalators to get back to Harry. I knew that he would be almost impossible to find by now, and that he was probably already by his car outside but I had to try. Standing on the escalator on the way down, I let my eyes scan the room. At first, he was nowhere to be found so I tried again and again, until I was at the end of the escalator and standing in the way of all the people that tried to get off the escalator behind me. I blushed as I moved and started running through the crowded airport trying to find the man that I so dearly loved already. I was crying as I had been running around, pushing through people to get by, almost giving up. Felt so helpless. If Harry was already gone, I didn´t know what to do. I couldn´t go back to California, I didn´t want to. I wanted to stay here with Harry forever. Why did my luck have to be against me now? I sat down on the ground by the huge statue of some great man who I had no idea who was that in the middle of the airport with my head in my hands. I sobbed and cried. It wasn´t supposed to be this way. In all the movies, when the girl finally realized her mistake and came back to her guy, he would be standing there by the end of the escalators waiting for her with open arms. Why couldn´t my life be like that, just for this one time?
I was startled when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Miss, are you alright?" I heard a man with a perfect British accent. My tears were shaking me so much and my sobs were ruining my hearing that I could not recognize the voice. "I looked up and looked straight into the blue eyes that could not belong to anyone else than my Harry. "Harry!" I yelled and jumped up into his arms. He smiled at me as he pulled back. "Silly, little, girl, what are you doing here?" he asked shaking his head. I laughed through my tears embarrassed. "I wanted to stay, I wanted to stay here with you," I told him and smiled.
