"i'm gonna miss you so much, sammy" (y/n) sniffled. her arms hugged his neck tighter as his clutched onto her waist, pulling her close.

"it's only a few weeks. we'll be fine. i promise" he replied into her neck.

"and you promise to facetime?"

"everyday"

"and text me"

"everyday"

"and try to be active on instagram so i know you're alive"

"i'll message you everyday so you know i'm alive" he smiled at her. her glossy eyes meeting his after they pulled away from their long embrace.

"come on, love birds. we've got a flight to catch" tom sighed at the pair.

"okay, okay. i love you" (y/n) quickly kissed him.

"i love you, too. bye everyone" sam waved to (y/n), paddy, nikki, dom and tessa with harry and tom and backed out the door.

"bye boys! love you all!" (y/n) smiled as they got in the taxi.

"bye!" they chorused, putting their suitcases in the boot and getting in the taxi. (y/n) and nikki stood in the doorway until the car left their sight. (y/n) trudged upstairs as nikki quietly closed the door. she laid down on sam's bed after closed the door, almost slamming it shut.

her head rested on his pillow, her body stretched over his side and hers. a small tear fell from her eye, delicately laying on his pillow.

minutes later, paddy knocked on the door. (y/n) wipes her eyes and sat up, mumbling a quick 'come in' as she did. paddy's small body appeared in the doorway with a suitcase. her eyes widened slightly, wondering why he had one.

"it's for you" he answered her.

"i didn't-"

"you spoke your thoughts out loud, you do it sometimes" he cut her off.

"oh, but wh-why do i need a suitcase?"

"just pack some clothes and your toothbrush and hairbrush and your girly stuff and come down stairs" paddy pushed the four wheeled suitcase in the room. it hit the bed and (y/n) grabbed it.

"okay?"

"hurry!" paddy squealed, rushing out the room and slamming the door. to paddy's demand, she packed quickly. she shut the suitcase, grabbed her phone and case and walked out the door, checking once again she had everything she would need for every situation.

as she got downstairs, paddy, nikki, dom and tessa were all in the kitchen. tessa laid in her bed, snoring her heart out, as the others were talking. a cough from (y/n)'s mouth made their heads turn to face her.

"(y/n)," nikki started, "i bet you're wondering why you've packed"

"yeh, actually. please don't tell me you're kicking me out"

"no. oh no, of course not. we've got something for you" she handed dom a letter which he gave to (y/n). she took it cautiously and began to open it. her jaw dropped when she saw what was in it.

"a place ticket? for today?" she looked at the three remaining hollands.

"yep. we knew you would miss them so we thought you could go too!" paddy smiled. tears welled in her eyes. she first hugged nikki, thanking her over and over. then she hugged dom, doing the same to him. last, she hugged paddy. they squeezed each other tightly and pulled away.

"we better get going," dom stated. "you don't want to miss your flight"

"okay, let's go"
