Delilah's POV:

I woke up at 4:00 am. Our flight was at 5:30 and we agreed to meet the boys before their flight at 5:10.

I didn't have time to shower, so I left my hair down fixing a few curls so it looked messy but good. I wore  white short shorts, a sleeveless collared shirt that was half white and half pink, and white lace toms.

"You ready?" Jacob asked walking in as I put in my contacts.

"Just gotta do my make up." I said.

He stared at me as I brushed my teeth.

"What?" I said once I was done.

"I've never seen you without make up." He said.

"Oh. I'm ugly I know. The scars don't help" I said starting to put on foundation.

"No. You're actually not. You're still beautiful. You don't look pale and scary like other people do."

I smiled. "I don't cake it on my face like those people do. And I take care of my skin so I don't have to."

He smiled.

"This is it." I said putting what I needed in my purse.

Jacob sighed. "Yep. The rest of our lives begin today."

"You sure it was okay with Monce that she took my boxes in her car?" I asked. She left right after graduation.

"Yeah. She said she was going to ship them for you."

"Oh. Well that's nice of her, she didn't have to do that."

I grabbed my two suitcases and purse, and we left for the airport.

"Good morning love," I said. "Just called to say we're on our way to the airport."

"Okay, see you soon." Tom said.

I sighed and put my phone in my pocket.

"You wanted to go on tour with them, huh?" Jacob asked.

"Kind of. But I don't do big crowds." I said.

He chuckled. "Yet you sing in front of them all the time and you record yourself and post them on Youtube. You're a weird girl, you know that?"

"I prefer the word special." I said smiling.

Jacob wouldn't let me pay for the cab, so I got Starbucks for us after we took care of out luggage.

"Are you here already?" Tom asked.

"Yeah, we just got Starbucks. Where are you?" I said into my phone.

"Siva said he can see you and Jacob."

I started walking forward and Jacob followed. "Are we closer?"

"Yeah, Jay can see you now too."

I saw them and I ducked moving to sneak up behind them.

"I see you." I said wrapping my arms around Tom's waist.

Tom turned around smiling and kissed my forehead.

"How can you be shorts!?" Max asked.

"Um, I'm going to New Mexico. It's hot there." I said.

Suddenly a voice announced their flight.

"I guess that's your cue." I said giving them a weak smile.

Jay and Nathan hugged me.

"We'll see you soon." Max said hugging me.

"You're still going to meet us in Boston right?" Siva asked.

I nodded and gave him a hug.

"Tom I'm going to miss you." I said hugging him.

"I know, I'm going to miss you too. I love you."

"I love you too." He kissed me and the last call for their flight was called.

"Take good care of her Jacob." Siva said.

"I will. That's a promise." Jacob said.

I stared at them as the walked away. All five of them turned and waved. I tried to stay strong but a tear fell down my cheek followed by many more.

"Now I know how Tom felt." I whispered.

Jacob hugged me and I cried onto his now wet shirt.

Tom's POV:

 "I can't even look back." I whispered to Siva as we walked away.

I did anyway because they all did, but it hurt. I wanted to run back and hold her in my arms and never let go.

I turned back once more to see Delilah's face buried in Jacob's chest. I looked up at him and he looked at me and nodded. As if telling me it was going to be okay and nothing would happen to her.

I hope he was right..... I trust him.

Delilah's POV:

 I wiped the tears away and waited for our flight. It wasn't much of a wait.

Jacob and I had a seat to ourselves which I was really happy about.

"New Mexico boundd! Gonna miss you NYC! xx" I tweeted. No picture this time. We completely forgot.

"Jacob, we didn't take a picture." I said. 

"Well let's take one now then." Jacob said.

He pulled out his phone and we did.

"Next stop New Mexico with @LittleRed" Jacob tweeted with the picture.

I admit, I loved that picture.

We turned our phones off and I grabbed my ipod from my purse.

"Damn, I forgot I put mine in my suitcase." Jacob said.

I handed him my left headphone and "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber came on.

"Really?" Jacob said smiling at me.

"I have a soft spot for him." I said.

We laughed and the plane took off. I had a good feeling about this week...
