You'll learn your lesson, but first you'll fall..

As we drove to the airport, I could feel my stomach was in knots. I really didn't want him to go; I was going to miss him so, so much. We were never really apart for more than 2 days, let alone 5 months, and for the time we were apart for 2 days, I wasn't pregnant with his child. I loved Matt more than anything or anyone in the world, and I knew being apart from him for this long would be so difficult.
Matt squeezed my hand with his free hand, the other on the wheel.
'Are you okay?' He said to me, and I only noticed then that I was crying. I dabbed at my eyes.
'Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, just going to miss you alot.' I said, my voice cracking. He looked at me with his big hazel eyes.

'I wish I could cancel this tour, but I really can't.'
'No, no, don't be silly. You need to do your job. It's my hormones too, just making me weepy. Don't mind me, I'll be fine.' I waved my hand in the air, sniffling away the tears. Well done, Eleanor, way to make him feel guilty.
We pulled up outside the airport, and Matt parked the car. He got out, got his suitcases, then opened the door for me. I stepped out of the car, and we walked into the airport, Matt's arm over my shoulder, me holding his hand, which was dangling over my arm.
We went to the check in desk, and Matt checked in his luggage. We then walked to the departures gate, which I didn't want to happen at all.

When we reached the gate, Matt turned to me.
He sighed deeply. 'Guess this is it.' I could feel myself starting to cry again. Without speaking, he gave me a huge hug, holding me so tight I could barely breathe. I cried into his chest, not caring that we were in public. I couldn't stop the tears.
'I love you, Eleanor. Always and forever. The 5 months will be quick coming around.' Matt whispered in my ear. 'I'll always be in contact, I promise. Take care. Both of you.' he held my bump gently.
'I love you so much, Matty.' I said through the tears. 'I hope so. And I'll do the same. I'll send you progress photos of the little monster here.' I smiled, my eyes blurry with tears.
The intercom from overhead came on. 'Flight 1242 will be departing shortly. All passengers prepare to board.'
Matt kissed me gently and slowly, before grabbing my hands. 'I love you.' He said.
'I love you.' I whispered.
He walked away, and through the gates. He then turned around once more, a small, sad looking smile on his face, with tears in his eyes. I waved, biting my lip, trying to stop a sob escaping my mouth.
That's when he walked on, and out of my sight. Gone, for 5 months. And there I stood, alone, in the middle of the airport, without him.

I realised it was a bad idea to stand at the departure gate crying, so I started to walk out towards the main door.
I didn't even realise I wasn't looking where I was going until I ran into something.
'Sorry!' A familiar voice apologised. I looked up at the person I ran into.
Holy shit.

'Eleanor?' he said, smiling slightly.
'Luke?' I said, feeling myself smile wryly.
'Oh my God!' he grinned, pulling me into a huge hug. Luke, loving as ever.
Luke and I went to school together, and were eachother's childhood sweethearts. We first met at the start of middle school, became best friends immediately, which merged into a relationship from 8th grade until 10th grade, for two years. I lost my virginity to him. After we broke up - which was a mutual agreement - we went right back to being friends, but after graduation, we kind of drifted apart. He was the loveliest person I had ever met to this day - besides Matt. He was tall, taller than me, and thin but muscular, with black hair and sallow skin. He still had the same hairstyle, a Brian - esque mohawk, with both sides of his head shaved and a long mohawk, slicked back. He was looking handsome as ever. He hadn't changed a day, still baby faced. I had kind of put him to the back of my mind, with all the Matt/Zacky stuff.
'How long has it been?!' I exclaimed. Seeing Luke comforted me, somehow.
'Too long.' he sighed. 'What are you doing here?'
How was I meant to tell him I was married to M Shadows, the lead singer of one of his favourite band?...

'Oh, um, dropping off..someone.' I mumbled quickly, blushing slightly. 'And you?'
'Well, I did a music course in England a couple of years back, made some good friends there, and a couple of them are seeing the world at the moment, so they're stopping here in mine for a day.' He looked down at me, his hazel eyes twinkling.
'You seemed to get on great after high school then.' I smiled at him.
He nodded. 'We should get together and have a huge catchup sometime! My friends are leaving tomorrow evening, so do you wanna meet up for dinner?' he suggested.
'Probably not the best idea.' I sighed. 'I'm kind of famous now.'
Luke burst out laughing. 'You say that with such seriousness.'
'I am serious.' I laughed. 'I'll explain everything tomorrow evening, okay? You can come over to mine, I'll make something.'
'Okay... sure, sounds great. Can I have your number, just for directions and stuff?' Luke asked.
I nodded, and called out my number and he took it down on his phone.
'Perfect. Thanks, El.' The last time he called me El, we were in school together. Eep.
He hugged me again. 'See you tomorrow.'
'See you then.' I hugged him back.
'You look great, by the way. You look happy.' He smiled at me, before walking off.

I rushed out to the car, got in, and sat there. Not driving, not texting, not listening to music. Just sitting there; my mind racing, between Matt being gone and running into Luke. It was too coincidental. I was going to have to tell Matt aswell, 'hi Matt, I know you're only gone a day but i'm having my ex over to our place tonight whom I conveniently ran into when I was cmoing out of the airport after saying goodbye to you, that's cool, yeah?' It seemed too convenient, but it was just how it worked out. I hoped Matt would be okay with it. Nothing would happen between Luke and I, I was married to Matt, and pregnant with his baby, for Christ's sake!
Yes, I'll admit, I felt a bit, um, strange when I saw Luke and was talking to him, but we all hold a place in our heart for our first love, and no matter what, being around them makes us a bit on edge.
How come at the start of my pregnancies, one of my exes makes a sudden comeback?
