The journey from the girls house to the airport wasn't a long one, however the awkward silence in the back of the car made it feel like it took forever.
They arrived at the airport and went straight to check - in, Aj did most of the talking, Jess kept herself to herself, while Kayla stood keeping a watchful eye over her best friend, with check - in complete they made their way to departures, just as Jess' phone rang.
 
" It's Aaron, " she looked over at Kayla, who looked back at her with her ' it's ok eyes ' with her heart beating so fast it felt like it was about to break right through her chest she took a deep breath, and clicked answer,

" H ... Hello, "
" Jessy ... " Aaron's voice sounded husky and broken, she covered her mouth with her hand, she was shaking uncontrollably, 
" A ... is he ok ? " Aj and Kayla watched anxiously for her reaction to his reply,
" He's ... he's still unconscious Jess, he hit his head pretty bad, i just wanted you to know that the doctors said he was asking for you when they were cutting him out the car, "
" Cutting him out the car, " she screamed,
" Oh my .... " she could hardly talk through the tears, people around the airport were beginning to stare, but she just couldn't help it, 

" Jessy .. listen to me, he's gonna need you girl, you're gonna need to be strong for him ok, "
" I know A, i just .. i can't stand the thought of him being hurt, i NEED to be there with him " she wiped her eyes again, 
" You'll be here before you know it, just try and stay strong ok, " 
" I will, A, please tell him that i love him so much i .. i know he might not hear you but .. i .. i really do, "
" I'll tell him Jess .. see you when you get here, " the line went dead.

" Oh god, i don't know if i can do this, " she cried as she sat down, putting her head in her hands, Aj sat down next to her and put his arm around her,
" Of course you can, you love him, and he needs you, "  
" I know, but he broke up with me, and i still don't know why, i haven't heard from him in four weeks, and now this, " Kayla knelt down in front of her,
" Sweet's .... look at me," she looked up, Kayla wiped a tear from her cheek,
" Sweets, I can't imagine how you are feeling right now, but i do know that you love Nick with all your heart, yes, i know he hurt you, and to be honest i hate him for what he did, but, i also think you two are meant to be together, now lets get on that plane and find out what the hell's been going on with him, deal ? " Jess leant forward and hugged her best friend,
" Thank you, where would i be without you, i love you babes, "
" Love you too sweets. " Aj looked up at the flight information screen,
" You two done with the mushy stuff, our flights boarding, " Kayla slapped him,
" Oi, stop being so insensitive, " he put his hands up in defence, 
" I'm just playing baby girl, i'm sorry. " Jess stood up and took a deep breath,
" Come on we've got a plane to catch."  

They began making their way over to the boarding gate, Kayla walked hand in hand with Aj, Jess trailed just behind them, they reached the gate and lined up,

" So what did Aaron say ? " asked Aj, as he took all the boarding passes from his pocket, and handed the girls theirs, 
" He said the doctors told him that Nick was asking for me when they were cutting him out the car, " she put her head down, 
" He's gonna be ok sweets, "
" I hope so Kay, i really do. "

They boarded the plane and found their seats, Jess took the window seat, Kayla in the middle, Aj at the end.
Aj and Kayla fell asleep not long after take off, Jess tried to sleep but the images of Nick flowing around in her head kept her wide awake, she decided to listen to her ipod, but every song reminded her of Nick.
She began thinking back to the day they met, it was before a Backstreet Boys concert at the O2 Arena, she and Kayla had got there early and were having a drink in a bar when Nick and Aj walked in, they got talking and clicked immediately, she smiled to herself as more amazing memories came flooding back, the first time they kissed, the way he asked, ' may i kiss you ' before he did.
The day Nick asked her to be his girlfriend, the way he said, ' he had it bad  '.  The first time he stayed round her house, he said he ' felt at home there '.
The time he surprised her and showed up on her doorstep just because he ' needed a cuddle ', he did love a cuddle.
The days when they would just lay in bed doing nothing but watch film's, or he would play computer games and she'd just watch, he was a bit of a geek at heart really, but her was her geek and she loved him for it.

" Sweet's ... you need to wake up, we're landing, " Jess opened her eyes, she couldn't even remember falling asleep,
" How long have i been asleep ? "
" A few hours, you needed it though, how you feeling ? " Jess smiled,
" I'm ok actually, i just want to get to him now, " Kayla smiled back,
" Won't be long sweets."

As the plane started its decent, Jess gripped the arms of her chair, her ears began to pop and the realisation began to hit home that she would soon be with her Nick again, but, more importantly would Nick still be with her !
