********One week later***********
"So you're sure you have all your medicine and everything you need? And you're going to remember to take it when you're supposed to?" Lynn asked Ali while she helped her pack for Paris. "Yes Mom, I've got everything!" Ali said jokingly. "Well I'm not going to count on Justin to remember and remind you!" Lynn said. "Yeah, I guess you're right. But I'll remember, I promise!" Ali said laughing.
"Hey Angel, you ready to go?" Justin asked popping his head in the doorway. "Yeah, I'm almost done packing," Ali replied. "Okay, just come down whenever you're ready, okay?" Justin said kissing Ali on the cheek and walking out of the room. "Oh, he's such a sweetheart!" Lynn gushed. Ali laughed, "Yeah, I'm pretty lucky, huh?" she said dreamily. "You are," Lynn agreed, "Well you'd better get going so you don't miss your plane!" "Yeah, and Justin's probably freaking out!" Ali said grabbing her crutches as Lynn grabbed Ali's luggage.
"Here, let me help you!" Justin said rushing to the stairs to help Ali. "Thanks hun, but I'm okay," Ali said handing the crutches to Justin as she got down the stairs all by herself. "Ali, you amaze me!" Justin said gazing at Ali. She laughed, "I know I do!" she said jokingly. "Well we've gotta get going, we're gonna miss our plane," Justin said. "Okay, call me when you get there," Lynn said hugging them. "We will, bye!" they said walking out to Justin's car.
"Justin, I can't believe we're on our way to Paris," Ali said on the way to the airport. "Me neither. But when I promised it to you I knew we'd make it eventually. I never gave up hope on you, you know," Justin said grabbing Ali's hand. "I know you didn't. And I knew you'd never leave me," Ali said smiling to Justin.
