Chapter 5
Lilly's POV
I'm leaving today. I don't like the idea of that.
I made sure my flight home was after the show, so I could see my favorite people perform.
"I don't want you to leave!" Anthony and Ethan said in unison.
"Awww don't worry little ones! I'll be back to visit Ben, and you two!" I brought my voice down to a whisper, "don't tell Ben but I love you guys more. And I'll bring you treats!"
"Yay!" Ethan yelled while Anthony did a little dance.
"Shhhhhhh!"
Just then, Ben popped in and Anthony yelled," LILLY LOVES US MORE THAN YOU! SHE TOLD ME SO!"
I gasped.
"Anthony! You weren't supposed to tell!" Ethan glared at him.
"Can't say I blame her." Ben began,
"You two are clearly far superior." Like he was giving in, Ben went down on his knees.
"Okay, how about, I love all three of you equally?"
"Maybe you love me a little more?" Ethan suggested.
"I don't have favorites." I winked.
"What do you mean you don't have favorites?! I thought I was your favorite!" Ben pouted.
I gave Ben a kiss. Did I mention we're dating?
"Ew!" Anthony yelled.
The cast got their 15 minute call and I left the dressing room to go to my seat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Santa Fe began and obviously, you know what happens when I listen to it.
I cried. A lot.
But then the show continued and I smiled. A lot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the show I waited outside for Ben at the stage door.
"Hi! You were SO amazing! Could you sign my playbill?" I asked Josh.
"Anything for a dedicated fansie!" We laughed.
Stephanie came out and I was so excited.
"Steph!"
"Lilly! I'm so glad I caught you!" She ran over and gave me the biggest hug.
"You were PHENOMENAL!"
"Awwww thanks! I'll never be able to fill your tap shoes though!" We talked for a few more minutes and then she unfortunately had to move on.
"I'll miss you Steph."
"I'll miss you too Lil'"
After lots of talking and hugs Ben came out.
"Lilly!" He gave me big hug. Realizing the situation he frowned. "I wish you weren't leaving."
I gave him a kiss on the cheek, which seemed to cheer him up for a second.
"Go talk to your dedicated fans! You have less than an hour!"
I snuck backstage so I could give everyone one last goodbye. I don't really wanna talk about it right now, but maybe another time.
I grabbed my suit case but for some reason something was slowing me down.
It was Josh.
"Josh you have to get off of me!"
"Never!"
"Joshhhhhh I have to go to the airport!"
"I won't let you!"
"Ethan and Anthony behave better than you!"
"Hey!"
"Let go!"
"I have chocolate covered bacon!" Ben yelled.
Josh immediately ran to Ben but Ben had nothing.
"You're so mean Benji!"
"I know, I know."
"I think there's a little bit left in the mini fridge." I chimed in.
Josh ran to my old dressing room without even saying anything.
"Bye!" I yelled to him and ran to to the cab. Ben went with me. Josh ran to the cab in like two seconds.
"How come Ben gets to go with you?" Josh whined.
"Sorry but I love him!"
"Don't you love me?"
"Maybe....." Ben gasped.
"I'm already competing with Ethan and Anthony, now him?!?!"
"Sorry Benjamin." I gave Josh a hug and watched Ben pout.
"You can come in Josh."
He became the Flash and instantly sat between Ben and I.
"You suck." Ben glared at Josh.
Josh smirked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was about to get on the plane but Josh, once again was slowing me down.
"Joshua Burrage! Get off of me! I need to say goodbye to my boyfriend!!"
Ben was able to pull him off in a few minutes.
"I'm gonna miss you a lot you know."
"I know, Lilly." He pulled me into a hug.
I really hate goodbyes.
"I'll visit you." I said, my voice breaking.
"I know, Lilly." He smiled, but it was a sad smile.
"There's something for you in your bag."
I began to cry and Ben gave gave me a box of tissues.
"The stars Wars tissues!?"
"They're back!" He smiled, but it was more of a wide happy smile.
Silence.
"I should probably get on the plane now."
More silence
"I love you so much."
"I love you too." I gave him a hug and kiss and began to leave. Tears were streaming down my face.
Josh was sobbing in the background but all I could focus on was the saddest face I've ever seen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ben's POV
I don't want her leave.
She's my world.
At the airport, I tried so hard not cry.
She disappeared into the hallway thingy and that's when I broke down.
Poor Josh had to deal with me but, I think he was okay with it.
I just hope she gets to New York Okay. "Hey, Ben, it's gonna be okay."
"I know, but it doesn't feel that way."
This was going to be a long 5 months. I think it's 5 months.
Who knows?
I really, really, really miss her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lilly's POV
The plane was boring. I was hesitant to open the gift from Ben but I also realllllllyyyyyyy wanted to open it.
So naturally I did.
Inside was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was a gold heart shaped locket, and inside was a picture of us. My favorite picture. It was after my debut. Ben picked me up and spun me around and somehow Josh caught it on camera.I almost cried looking at it.
I love him so much.
I saw a note attached to the bottom of the box.
"There's a another prize if you dig deep.
Love you always,
Ben"
I looked even further and I saw another box with another note.
"I told you there was another prize.
I love youuuuuuu,
Ben"
I opened the box, inside was a gorgeous ring. And another note.
"Promise you'll be mine?
I stillll looovvvveeee youuuuuu,
Ben"
I swear I almost burst out crying.
I really miss Ben.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Josh's POV
Lilly leaving hit Ben hard.
I mean really hard.
He was a hot mess, and I mean I thought I was an emotional mess.
Poor Ben.
He was so depressed.
I need to something! I mean what kind of best friend would I be if I didn't?
But it's definitely too early to make Lilly visit.
He was like a lovesick puppy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oof.
That was not that great. :(
But, you got three narrators instead of the usual one!
The cover and title will be up soon, my friend is working really hard and making every thing perfect, I know you all love it!
Be good people!
