"She's excited to go on the trip." Grace blurted, Caleb wiped off the concerned face expression and smirked.

"I guess we are bringing the crew then." He smiled. He wrapped his hands around me and looked at the suitcase.

"Your packing already?" I nodded and plastered a smiled. I thought everyone left. Seems like Caleb's family was still here though.

"Yeah, I'm that excited." I grinned widely. He bursted out laughing.

"Okay. I guess I'll book those tickets soon the-"

"Caleb! Let's go!" We watched as Caleb began backing up and heading towards the doorway as his parents called him.

"I'll see you guys later. See ya!" He waved and left with a cute, wide smile.

"Girl. You need to fucking tell him." Grace whispered, I slammed my period bag onto the bed.

"I know, okay? I just don't know how. I don't even know if it will go well. All I hope is that long distance will work." I huffed, Grace grabbed my period bag and zipped it up before scoring it into my duffle bag of items.

I grabbed a box and began packing bed covers and such.

"How do you think he will act? He also has a university he is attending you know?" Grace began folding some bed covers and blankets, as well as pillow cases. I mentally rubbed my face due to frustration.

"I don't know." I bit my bottom lip and looked around. What am I missing? I have all of my hygiene stuff, bed stuff, and clothing. All I'm missing is decorations. This is a lot of stuff but I might as well pack more. I packed a few picture frames and all the pictures I have of my family and friends printed out. Pictures of Caleb and I. Red, Blue, and I. Grace and I. The crew and I.

"We're gonna miss you, bro. Don't party too hard." She smirked, as a tear rolled her eye.

"Don't cry, your going to make me cry." I poured as my tears flooded my eyes. Tears began falling as I plastered a smile.

"I'll be visiting you guys, you better date Jace." I jokingly demanded. We both laughed.

"You better give me grandchildren, I've always wondered what yours and Caleb's children will look like." She grinned, I playfully punched her shoulder.

"Everyday it'll rain." We said in a singing tone.

"Bruno Mars, never gets old." Grace giggled.

I woke up and my eyes felt swollen. I don't remember much but all I remember was that I was crying hard before I went to sleep. We all went through so much to get here. I chuckled at the thought. I walked towards the mirror and stared at myself. My eyes were so swollen-

I headed towards the bathroom and hopped into the shower. The warm water hitting my body as it relieved my swollen eyes. I opened my eyes widely and remembered. Tomorrow is the day.

I hoped into a casual outfit and ate some breakfast. Cheryl was already up because she was the one that made her and I breakfast.

"You ready?" She excitedly smiled.

"Hell yeah." I smirked, we both laughed in sync.

"I'm going to miss everyone, to be honest." Cheryl blurted as she plopped a piece of bacon in her mouth.

"Same. I'm even gonna miss you. Like how crazy is that?" I joked, she nodded with wide eyes as she swallowed her bacon.

"The fact we used to be enemies." She laughed. I laughed at those memories too.
