Airports and Romance

-Y/n's POV

I walked back to my house in the 90 degree weather, wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants.

I refused an offer from Judd to give me a ride, he's done enough for me already.

After last night I had figured out my feelings for Judd Birch.

I liked him more than a friend.

I could feel my pulse quicken as I got closer towards the door of my house. I'm not sure why but it felt unsafe.

I walked in and started walking towards the kitchen to find something to eat, I was really in the mood for watermelon- or some sort of fruit.

"Y/n?"

My father called from the other room, I thought he was on a work trip?

"Dad?" I stood in the doorway of the dining room.

"Sit down." He pulled out a chair across from him for me to sit on.

I sat down slightly nervous. What is this about?

I waited for him to say something first, and when he did the next words that came out of his mouth made me want to scream.

"We are sending you to a boarding school-"

"The fuck you are!" Connie had finally made an appearance.

I was screaming before he could finish what he was going to say.

"You can't do this, I didn't do anything wrong!"

I couldn't go away. Not now, not when I've finally figured out my feelings. There is so much I still needed to say- so much I still needed to do!

"You've gotten into way too many fights over these past few months, your mother and I can't keep letting this slide."

My mom.

That's why she wasn't here. This was her idea- she was just to much of a pussy to face me herself.

"Where's mom?"

"She's at the store."

Sure she is.

"Then I guess I better go pack up." My eyes watered, but I wouldn't let him see me cry.

"I'm glad you've decided to go peacefully." He looked pleased with himself.

I ran up the stairs, practically tripping over my own two feet. I wanted to run, to scream at my parents and never look back.

But that would just make things worse.

"No baby we can't go!" Connie cried.

"What about Judd!"

"It's over Connie, there's nothing I can do."

I got on my knees, looking around for my suitcase.

I might as well go. Judd doesn't like me, and never will.

—-Leah's POV

I was halfway to my house, on my morning run, when I felt a buzz coming from my arm band.

It was Y/n

"Hello, Y/n?" I asked, slightly confused. She's never up this early?

Shit- she was crying.

"What's wrong?!" I stopped running and stood there on the sidewalk, now extremely concerned.

"They are sending me away-" she was sobbing loudly into the microphone.

"What?" I had a million questions.

"Who? When? Where are you going?"

"My parents are sending me to boarding school- My flight leaves tonight."

The words sent chills down my spine, I refused to let this happen.

"Absolutely not. You can come stay with me- they can't do this!" I started to cry, panicking at the thought of my best friend leaving.

She was quiet for a long time. Her soft, uneven breaths were the only sound I could hear.

"I can't-"

"Why not?!" I screamed. Judging by her sobs I didn't think she actually wanted to go?

She hesitated before quickly saying goodbye.

What just happened?!

—

I ran home.

I needed to do something- I couldn't let her leave, she was my best friend. Why didn't she want to just stay at my house?

"Judd!" I banged on the walls, I knew he was in there somewhere.

He jumped down from the vent in the ceiling, pocket knife in hand.

"What-"

I ran over to him and grabbed his arm, squeezing so hard he had to pry my fingers off of him.

"Please let me borrow your car! Y/n's parents are sending her off to boarding school tonight!"

-Judd's POV

I couldn't move. I dropped my knife and grabbed my sisters arm, gritting my teeth together. I should've told her how I felt- now she's leaving?

Shit-

Leah stood there, an eyebrow raised at how much I seemed to care.

Before she could question it I agreed to let her use my car, as long as I came with. I needed all of Y/n, her smile, her perfect complexion, her loving personality. She was good for me- and I wanted to be good for her.

she couldn't go.

I was in the car with Leah, speeding like usual to the airport. Y/n's flight boarded in 20 minutes.

I needed to stop her from getting on that plane.

We pulled up to the airport with five minutes to spare. I snuck past every guard and got through security without anyone seeing me.

I sped through and dodged every person in the crowded airport, until I laid my eyes on her. She was boarding, ticket in hand.

"Y/N!" My usual quiet voice traveled, she turned.

"Judd?" she looked confused, but I didn't give her much time to think.

-Y/n's POV

"Judd?"

Before I could say anything else he swept me into his arms, taking me into a rough but passionate kiss.

He grabbed my hair. His soft lips desperate for mine, and mine for his.

My legs weakened as he invaded all of my senses, the raw emotion as he held me closer was enslaving.

His lips were soft, almost satiny, and pillowy against my own. He tasted like menthol cigarettes, something I would never get enough of.

I could only describe my feelings as the perfect combination of lust and ecstasy- pure bliss.

He really felt the same way?

Our bodies pressed together heatedly, I could feel his desire as he pulled me closer. Our tongues were caught in an elegant dance, fighting for control over the other.

In this moment nothing else mattered, I couldn't leave like this. Not when I finally had what I'd always wanted.

I don't care what my parents say, I'm staying.

The people around us stared, but their gasps and lingering eyes meant nothing to me.

All I cared about was him.
