"Tori, I promise we're not going to miss our flight."
"The cabin is sooooo beautiful!"
"I know! Leaving the triplets with my parents and finally seeing you guys for the first time since freshman year.."
"Don't be late!"
"We won't! I love you bye."
I tossed my phone onto my pillow as I finished packing for my last summer break.
"Okay Jordan, mommy's all packed. I'm gonna miss you so muchhhhh!"
I picked her up and smothered her in kisses as she giggled uncontrollably.
"I bet you half my cookie, that daddy isn't packed yet." I smirked.
"Aahg" shs yelled as she shook her head no with drool dripping onto her bib.
"Babe.. i can't find my suit case." Ethan said, walking in with Jade and Jovanni sitting on each of his arms. Jade stuck he finger up his nose and Jovanni pulled his hair.
We got married in the middle of our junior year in college after finding out I was 5 weeks pregnant. When I found out I was having triplets, I didn't tell anyone until after I gave birth. Ethan was blessed to have three healthy baby girls. They're now 6 months old and full of life.
Jade. Jordan. Jovanni.

"Looks like we win." I split the small cookie in half and placed it in her hand. She immediately shoved it in her mouth.
"Why aren't you packed yet?" I chuckled.
"Why do you think?" He laughed as he motioned to thr babies in his arms.
I put my hands up in defense as he put the girls onto the bed. Jordan put her cookie into Jade's mouth while Jovanni crawled over to me.
Ethan finally began to pack his suitcase.
"Ughh I don't even want to leave them." I groaned.
"Your parents are so excited to have them for the week."
"I know but it's our first time leaving them."
"We're going to a cabin. Where there's wine, and our friends.. and a room to our selves.." he smirks; snaking his arm around my waist.

At the airport
"Yes mama I'm sure the girls are going to have a great time. Okay love you too. Bye bye." I hung up the phone as Ethan continued to look around for Tori and Vanessa.
"Can you believe I haven't seen Grayson in person for almost 3 years?" He said jumping up and down.
"You're making me dizzy." I said pushing him down.
"Ethan!" I heard from behind.
Oh here we go with these two
Ethan turned and faced in the direction of Gray's voice. Grayson ran at the speed of lightning towards us. They engulfed each other in a deep hug.
"I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." He cried.
I stood there, awkwardly watching the cute moment they were having until I spotted everyone else running over to use.
"Eeeek!" I squealed.
Tori and Vanessa tackled me to floor with hugs and kisses on my cheek. We laughed uncontrollably.
"It's been decades!!" Tori screamed.
"It's been 3 years, Tee" Vanessa laughed.
Grayson helped us off of the ground before tightly hugging me and Vanessa, as well as Archie hugging all of us too.
"We've missed you guys so much!"
"Its definitely been too long. I cannot wait til we get to the cabin!" Tori squealed.
Everyone grabbed their things and began to walk towards the exit. I stood.. patiently; watching as hundreds of people moved through the airport. The girls came back, placing their hands on my back.
"I don't think he's coming, Beck."
"Can't we just.. wait a little longer?"
"Have you talked to him since the trip?"
______________
Back at the hotel..
Ethan wrapped his arm around my waist as I helped him back to the hotel. Once we reached our door, Tori, Vanessa, and the boys walked out of their rooms with bathing suits and towels for the inside hot tub.
"Jay isn't going with you guys?" I asked
"Beck.. he left."
"What?"
I opened the door with my room key and noticed Jay was no where to be found. Neither were his things.
"He's gone." ________________
He never answered my calls or text after that.. I lost my best friend. That was the last time I saw him..
"He's not coming.." I sighed.
They squeezed me tightly as we walked out the door.
