The next morning I woke up at 7. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. Everything that the exact same that I left it before Dash and Noelle came. Only now, there was a box on the table. I went to open it I saw that there was a ring inside. It was huge, diamond of course. Why was it in here? Wasn't Noelle supposed to take it? And wear it? I knew she was supposed to.

I walked up to their room, and slowly opened the door. They where both there. In Noelle's bed. She looked… happy. I knew then that she had said yes. And I was so happy for her it was unbelievable. I couldn't wait until I got the whole story.

I walked back to my room tracing the gold walls with my pointer finger. The cool, smooth wood felt good on my skin. I took a shower, got dressed, and dried my hair before it ticked over to 9:30. I had only a half hour to get to the airport, and say good-bye. I went back into Noelle and Dash's room. They where still sleeping. I didn't want to wake her up, so I decided to leave a text or note. I walked downstairs, grabbed a pen and paper and walked downstairs. I wrote;

Dear Noelle and Dash,

I'm sorry that I had to leave today. I've had a lot of fun on my first trip to St. Bart's. You guys have been very generous. And I know about the proposal, I saw the ring on the table and had to think about that for a while, call me and tell me how that turned out. If I don't get a call, I think I know what happened. I'll be spending a lot of time with Josh. I miss him a lot. I will be there to greet you guys when you come to New York. And if you want, you can just stay here I won't mind.

Best wishes and Love,

Reed

I signed the letter and folded it on the table, with their names on the front. Noelle's driver drove me to the airport, it took about 20 minutes. I had only a ½ hour left.

Did you know that St. Bart's has only 1 major airport.

It was living Hell. Everyone was going crazy, speaking different languages, fighting, worried. Trying to find relatives. I finally found the door that said "Lux" across the door. I walked over to it and opened it. There was a beautiful room. It looked like it came from a totally different building. I looked back at the door to see if it was real, it was still there. I started to walk over to the plane waiting area. I grabbed a magazine in a different language, having no idea why I did. I flipped through the pages and scanned the wardrobes. My plane finally was boarding first class, I was up. This was going to be my last time in St. Bart's. I gave the lady my ticket and walked on. A few minutes later I was in my seat. A woman walked over to me, and started talking in a language I did not know. My best guess was Chinese.

"I don't speak—" I tried to explain to her.

"Oh, then is this seat taken?" She asked.

"No," I told her and moved my suitcase over a bit.

"You're going to New York?" She asked.

"Yeah," I replied. "What about you?"

"I'm going to New York also. My family is there. I came here to visit a friend. I'm very happy to go back." She smiled. It felt weird this lady was just telling me a lot. Maybe that's just how people outside of Easton are.

"I'm going to New York to see my boyfriend." I told her smiling.

"What's his name?" She asked me, turning her body towards mine smiling.

"Josh." I smiled at his name.

"That's a lovely name. Do you love him?" She asked me.

"Yes. Yes I do." I told her with a huge grin. "My friends are actually getting married, and she was talking about me and my boyfriend's future." I told her. I was instantly feeling weird. It's not like I was telling her everything everything.

"That's so sweet." She told me smiling.

I talked to her the whole plane ride. Her name is Regina and she knew mine also. When the flight was over, she wished me luck in the future and also did I. We parted our ways when she left. I grabbed my bag out of the overhead compartment and dragged it behind me all the way to the new waiting room in the New York airport. The smell filled my nostrils and I looked around. No Josh. I even stood on my tip toes. I still couldn't find Josh. This is what happens when I don't hear from him in a few days. But he already knew when my flight was, time and everything. Maybe the time zones got mixed up. I still couldn't find him. I was starting the panic. Where was he? He wouldn't ditch me. I knew that.

I decided to move around. Out of the crowd. I walked over so I was in the middle of the line of chairs. I looked around frantically. Then I saw a blond curly head boy. Smiling. He had a huge smile on his face. His blue eyes where shining with wonder. His face told he was in love.

And that he was Josh.

I must have had the most biggest and happiest smile on my face because I could feel it. I was running. My bags jumping all over the place trying to keep up with my fast pull on their handles. My duffle bag was around my shoulder, and I was still running. It felt like I was in slow motion, because all I could see was people spreading out. But Josh staying in place. I was still running when I got closer to him. I was so close. So close to touching him. I was still running, there was only a few feet between us. He still stood still. Smiling huge.

"Reed!" Was all I heard him shout before I dropped my bags and jumped onto him. I wrapped my legs around his waist, my arms around his neck, and rested my head on his shoulder. Trying to get all of my body on his. Then the slow motion stopped. And I was in his arms. And crying.

"I love you." He whispered in my ear, it sounded like he was crying a little too.

"I love you too." I said between sobs. I didn't want to let go of him, and I knew he didn't want to let go of me. We just stood there. I was listening to his breathing. And he was listening to my sobs. I stood still there.

"I missed you so much. I'm never leaving your side again." I cried. Tears where falling onto his shoulder, I couldn't control myself. I was just bawling my eyes out.

"I have no problem with that." He told me calmly.

I still cried. It was the sound of his voice. It was so beautiful. So perfect. I've been hearing the static not real version over the phone. I needed him. His voice.

"It's ok Reed, I'm here. It's ok," He whispered in my ear. And then started to kiss my ear repeatively, trying to calm me down.

"I know, that's why I'm crying." I said.

"You don't want me here?" He asked laughing a little and kissed my ear again.

"I want you all the time Josh." I told him.

"Forever?" He asked.

"Forever." I stated and then stopped bawling. I was letting tears roll down my cheeks, and I was sniffling. The tears wouldn't stop.

Josh unhooked my legs from his waist and brought me down. Before I could look into his beautiful eyes, we where kissing.

I felt whole.

Josh pulled away, "Forever." He repeated slowly opening his eyes. He wiped away the tears falling down my cheeks. Thank god I wore water proof make up.

"I'm sorry." I told him.

"Don't be." He whispered looking into my eyes.

I kissed him again. I couldn't stop. He smiled and kissed me again.

I was whole.

AW! I loved this chapter, sorry the grammar wasn't very good because I didn't check it. I'm really tired. I just finished watching the Pearl Harbor movie. And I had to finish the whole Josh and Reed reunion. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

peace out,

Lauren
