• Next Morning , 10 a.m. ; At Breakfast •

~ Maddie's POV ~

I stared outside the window of the small breakfast cafe .

The weather was gloomy and depressing ; matching my mood . Heavy rain was streaming down the window. Rain hitting the ground outside was the only sound at the table .

Lachlan had to leave for his flight to New Zealand in less than half an hour . He was going with bunch of Australian friends for a skiing trip . The two of us decided to go out for our last breakfast for a while but all it did was make things even more painful for the two of us .

Saying good-bye to Lachlan is like picking up your phone after it fell and realizing the screen had shattered .

It's heartbreaking at first and you refuse to recognize it even happened . But after a while you realize you're going to be okay ... until you remember how much better it was before it happened and you feel miserable again .

" Mads , it's not going to be forever " Lachlan spoke up , breaking the silent atmosphere .

" It feels like it " I sighed .

" Don't you think I feel the same way ? I'll miss you like hell ".

I couldn't respond . I bit the inside of my cheek , trying my best not to cry .

Lachlan grabbed my hand that was on the table and squeezed it softly .

"Hey , look on the bright side . Mitch won't have to yell at us for being so loud at night " he teased . (A/N : No not that loud if you were thinking that )

I let out a small chuckle .

" And I can finally get sleep without you waking me up " I added , taking my glance away from the window .

" And maybe I can meet both of your parents soon " Lachlan suggested , giving me a pleading look .

I smiled . " Maybe ".

Suddenly , Lachlan's phone beeped from it's place on the table .

He looked down at the notification glowing on the screen and frowned .

" My ride's here " he pouted .

We both got up from the table , quickly gathering our things together and payed for the meal .

Lachlan grabbed his bags that rested behind his chair before turning to me .

He dropped the bags and instantly wrapped his arms around me , I did the same in return .

I embraced the soft material of his cotton shirt as the familiar scent of his cologne made me want to stay like this forever .

As we pulled away , Lachlan cupped my cheeks and pulled me into a passionate kiss ; kissing me like his life depended on it .

The car honked from outside and we both pulled away .

" I have to go " he said , stating the obvious .

" Yeah , bye " I frowned .

He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek . " Bye , I love you ".

" Love you too " I replied as Lachlan picked up his bags again .

He gave me one more quick hug before brushing past me and out of the cafe into the heavy rain .

I watched through the window as the driver came out and helped him load his baggage .

After everything was loaded , Lachlan took a glance towards the cafe window ; his eyes locking on me .

I gave him a small wave and he gave me one in return ; forming his fingers into a small heart mouthing " I love you ".

Lachlan climbed into the back seat of the taxi before the driver started the engine and pulled away from the curb , taking off into the busy London street .

He's gone .

I took a seat at the table where we just ate breakfast .

" Miss ? Can I get you anything ? " a passing waiter asked me .

" Um , can I have a blueberry muffin and a cup of red rose tea ? Just add it to the bill here " I responded .

" Coming right up " the waiter replied , taking the empty plates that covered the table .

As she left , the screen of my phone lit up with a new notification .
