Saying goodbye was always difficult, especially when Bella started crying— she always did. Hugging her as tightly as I could, I fought back my own tears. Leaving her behind was the hardest part about leaving Tulsa.

“I’ll see you soon, Bella. We’ll figure it out.” I tried to soothe us both with my words. The truth was, I wasn’t sure when I could get back— not before the holidays, at least.

“I know,” she whimpered, and I pulled back to look at her. “I’m going to miss you. Both of you.” Her brown eyes flashed up at Harper, and I rubbed her hair before hugging her once more.

Bella released me to wrap her arms around Harper, and I think watching their goodbye was almost harder than saying goodbye myself. They exchanged numbers and Harper told her to text her anytime. It was moments like this that made me fall in love with Harper a little bit more.

Asher was dropping Mason, Harper, and I off at the airport and I knew my sadness was more obvious than normal because Harper kept squeezing my hand like she knew I needed it. And I did.

We all said bye to Asher and reluctantly made our way through the airport process. All of us dreading some part of separating: Mason possibly seeing Pierson when we got to Colorado, and Harper and I because, well, long distance was difficult and painful. And I had a sinking feeling it was going to be even more so now.

At least I got some time with her before her flight to KC boarded. Mason waited at our gate, always silently giving us alone time together. I really appreciated him for it.

“Last call for flight 5965 to Dallas/Fort Worth.”

I had walked her to the boarding line, and I held her hand until I had to let go.

“I love you, Nixon. We’ll see each other soon.” She touched my face, her eyes trying to hide sadness to make it easier on me. I lost it.

Tears had fallen over my cheeks, and I wrapped her in my arms and kissed her through my pain.

“I love you, too,” I breathed once the kiss broke. Her own tears had spilled over her cheeks, and I wiped them with my thumbs. “You land at 3 PM, right? Please text me to let me know you get everywhere safely?”

“I promise I will.” She nodded, and I kissed her again.

The attendant cleared their throat and insisted she had to board now.

My heart was cracking as I watched her walk away from me, looking back once to blow me a kiss before disappearing as she turned the corner of the corridor.

I stood there, pathetic and alone until her plane moved to take off. I pulled my phone out and checked the time, I had ten minutes until my own plane began to board, but I still felt like I could barely push on with the huge gaping hole left in my chest.

Turning to watch her plane take off, I heard my name from where I had just walked.
