sighed as she felt 's kisses on her shoulder.
"Hey..." she whispered.
He walked in front of her and smiled.
"Hey... what are you thinking about?" he asked cupping her face into his hands.
She casted her eyes to the ground.
"Oh love, what's wrong?" he asked saddening.
"You're leaving soon..."
"Not for another 2 weeks..."
"You're still gonna go though....."
"We can make this work, in a year you're moving to London for the job transfer and we'll be closer."
"A year is so long..."
"I know, baby... but we'll make it work..." he enclosed her tiny hands in his and kissed them softly, "Don't worry... I will call you every day and night, fly to see you when I can and vice versa, ok?"
"It's not the same, ...."
He gently lifted her face up to him and she saw all the love he felt in his eyes.
"I know... but we'll make the best of things. I Love you, ... do you love me?"
She nodded her head, biting her lip slightly.
"Then believe me when I say we'll make it, I love you more than anything on this earth and I'll fight for us to stay together. I will do anything... okay? Anything..."
wrapped his arms around hugging her tight. He understood what she was feeling, he knew how hard it was gonna be to not be near her but he loved her with all his heart and knew they'd survive.

and were goofing off in the pool, splashing each other and having fun with everyone else when she noticed a sullen look on 's face.
She swam over to her best friend ahd splashed her.
shook her head in surprise.
"Far away, aren't ya?" giggled.
"Just thinking.."
"Why aren't you over there with having some fun?"
shrugged as she looked to where was in one corner talking with .
nodded her head and swam closer to talk to her.
"You guys will be fine..."
"How can you be so sure? I'm so scared, , the last several months have been nothing but pure bliss. I'm afraid...."
"Of what?"
"What if..... what if he finds someone new? Someone better than me...someone smarter...someone pretty..." finally revealed the agony that had been eating her heart away.
"No...no...no..." told her friend gently. "He COULDN'T forget someone like you, you're too special to him. You can't see the look in his eyes when you're around?"
shook her head, "No..."
"Well, trust me, it's there."
"How can you not be worried, ? 's going too!!"
"Yes...I know...but it's all about trust, dear...trust and communication. I know loves me and I trust him completely."
"Not one part of you is scared at all?"
"I'd be lying if I said no, but a little part of me is scared, it's only human, but I still completely trust as you should trust ."
"But you and have been together nearly 2 years now, me and ....what? 6 or 7 months?"
"BUT he's loved you a lot longer and you've cared for him since last year. That's the difference, first you guys were too scared to tell one another and you both kept wishing to be together, now that it's true you really think 's gonna risk it all?"
bit her lip,"No...."
"See, you do trust him... I think you're just thinking about it too much, your heart already knows the answer, it's your mind that won't take it."
smiled at and hugged her, "Thanks, ."
"No problema, mi amiga!" laughed motioning for to join them out in the center of the pool.
shook her head and smiled, "You're such a dork!!" she swam over to and splashed water in his face then quickly swam away with not too far behind her.
"I see you fixed whatever cloud over 's shoulders..." observed swimming closer to .
"It was minor problem, she was just worried about y'all leaving since she wouldn't see much. She was afraid he'd find someone new or something and I told her to not worry about it cuz loves her way too much to risk it all."
"Since when did you get so smart?" teased.
"Ha, since when did you come up with clever remarks?"
splashed her with water and she took the plastic foam she held in her hand and smacked him in the head with it.
"No fair! You have a foam and I don't!"
laughed, "Aww poor baby..."
"I got something to ask ya though..."
"What?"
"How come you aren't worked up like that over me?"
"Because.." teased, "If you decide to find someone new, I can find someone too!!"
"Hey!!! I'm hurt..." frowned with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"I'm sure you are, babe.." grinned at him, "Just playing! You know I love your ditzyness."
pulled in for a kiss, "Luv ya too munchkin!"

"Awww....that's so cute.." smiled watching and .
"We're cute too.." grinned down at her.
rolled her eyes and placed her arms around his neck.
"Hmm...." He pulled her closer, "I like this..."
"I know you do.." she laughed.
pulled her in for a hug," I love you, ..."
"Luv ya too, hon..."

Night before Westlife leaves

Everyone had decided to have dinner together. Around the table, everyone was enjoying themselves with good conversation and food. But ...her face couldn't hide the sadness she felt.
"...hon.....try to enjoy dinner..." whispered to her.
tried to force a smile on her face but failed miserably.
"It's too hard, ....."
"I know, hon...but be strong.."
"Easy for you to say, you get to spend a month more with befor you have to come back for work."
"I know, hon..but you'll see again soon..."
"Not soon enough...."
sighed giving up, "I can't help her.." she whispered to .
"Who? ?"
"Yeah...the only one who can is ...her heart's breaking as we speak.."
"I'm sure she'll be fine, hon.." squeezed her hand.
"I hope so..." she said sadly looking at .

Later that night

and decided to go out to a club with everyone else except and .
"You sure y'all don't wanna join us?" asked as she was bling blinging with a sparkly shirt and tight leather pants.
shook his head, "Nah... I need my last night alone with her."
nodded her head understanding, "Take care of her huh?"
"I will...you guys have fun..."
closed the door and turned to where sat on the bed, with her knees up and her head on them.
"Oh sweetie, I hate to see you like this..."
sniffled and wiped away a tear.
"I know...I'm sorry...I'm just gonna miss you..."
"Oh baby...come here..." sat on the bed and pulled onto his lap.

If you wanna know
Tomorrow morning I have to leave
But wherever I may be
Best believe I'm thinking of you
I can't believe how much I love you

She held tightly to him as she let the tears go.
"It's alright, baby....it's alright..." he whispered gently into her ear as he tried his best to comfort her.
When she'd finally stop crying, lifted her face up to his and smiled.

All we have is here tonight
We don't want to waste this time
Give me something to remember
Baby put your lips on mine

And I'll love you forever
Anytime that we find ourselves apart

"I love you..." he whispered gently kissing her lips.
wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer. With those three words all the fear she felt swept away.

I know I'm gonna see you again
But promise me that you won't forget
Cause as long as you remember
A part of us will be together
So even when you're fast asleep
Look for me inside your dreams
Keep believing in what we're sharing
And even when I'm not there to tell you

I'll, I'll love, love you forever
Any time that I can't be where you are

laid her head on 's chest, listening to his beating heart while he held one hand and stroked her hair.
"Every beat you hear....it's beating for you..." he told her.
She smiled and squeezed his hand.
"Do you believe me when I say we'll be alright?" he asked softly.
She nodded her head and caused to laugh with the brush of her silky hair against his bare chest.
"I believe you....as much as the fear and worry I have, just hearing you tell me makes it all go away..."
He kissed the top of her head and hugged her tight.

Is there anywhere that far?
Anytime you're feeling low
Is there anywhere that love cannot reach?
Oh no
It could be anywhere on earth
It could be anywhere I'll be
Oh baby if you want to see

You just close your eyes

"I love you with everything I have within me and I know that I'll never find someone like you in my lifetime...I'm not about to let you go when I barely got you...believe in me...trust in me..." whispered into her ear.
moved herself up so that she was facing him. She scooted herself over so that his face was inches from hers.
"I know....but....you promise me...that when you're touring the world...when you're in all those different places and you meet all these different girls...you won't forget me?"
smiled slightly, "I could never forget you...how could I?"
"Promise me, ..."
He laughed a little and kissed her lips, "I promise.....just remember this..." he whispered as he brought her close and sang softly.
"Just close your eyes
And you'll be here with me
Just look to your heart
And that's where I'll be
If you just close your eyes
Till you're drifting away
You'll never be too far from me
If you close your eyes...."

THE END
