REAL LIFE

HARRY'S CAR PARKED INTO ONE OF THE PARKING SPACES. Part of him wished it hadn't. Because part of him didn't want Sophie to leave England for two months.

Sophie wasn't going to be alone, however. As they took the same course in university, Ellie would be joining her on the plane to New Zealand.

They went inside the airport, and got checked in. Pretty soon Sophie and Ellie would have to have been going through to the security checkpoint, which would also mean that they would have to leave Harry, as well as Thea behind for the next two months.

"Are you nervous? You seem nervous." Harry calmly asked Sophie.

Sophie looked up at him abruptly. "What? Of course not. Why would you think that?"

Harry laughed. "I'm pretty sure that I've never seen you tapping your feet on the ground this hard and fast. Besides, you haven't said anything in like 10 minutes."

"Hey!" She smacked his arm. "I can keep quiet, thank you very much. And it's only because this is my first time in a plane in two years."

     "So... you're scared of going on a plane?"

     Sophie sighed. "No, it's not that. I have nothing wrong with planes. It's just that this is the first time I'm going on one since I got diagnosed with heart disease."

     "Don't worry, Soph. It's gonna be fine. Trust me." Harry said, looking at Sophie with a sincere look in his eyes.

     "All right. I just found our security checkpoint Soph, they're open now." Ellie said, walking over to them all. She looked at Sophie and Harry, "It means we have to go."

     Sophie heaved a deep breath. She knew she would have to go at some point, she just didn't want it to be now. "Alright."

     She got up and found her luggage and passport, then went to give Thea a goodbye. The two blondes hugged each other, "take care Soph." Thea said, smiling faintly. "I'll miss you."

     "I will, Thee. You too." Sophie replied, pulling away from the hug.

     While Thea and Ellie said their goodbyes, Sophie turned to Harry.

     Immediately, she hugged him, with a grip that she was sure she'd never used before. "Bye, Harry."

     Harry pulled away with a sad smile. "See you later. You'll be back sooner than you know, Soph. These two months are gonna go in a flash."
