Love Me Again

Chapter 21 - Big Time Ending

I sat in the Uber, feeling my stomach twist as it pulled up to the house. I had a feeling I was going to regret what I did, but at the same time I knew what I did was the right thing. I grabbed my bags out of the trunk and thanked the driver before I headed towards the front door. I opened it up before there was arms thrown around me.

"You came back!" James exclaimed and I dropped my bags to hug him back.

"I was on the plane before I realized I couldn't leave." I said, before we both pulled away. James looked behind me before nodding.

"I'll be inside." He said, and I turned around as he walked off.

"You stayed." Logan said, and I nodded, a smile on my face as I walked towards him.

"I realized after everything we've been through together, there's no where else better to be." I said, and he smiled.

"So?" He questioned, tilting his head at me.

"So, I realized I am in love with you, Logan. If I have to dye my hair and lose weight to be that skinny blonde I've always pictured you with, then I will. Because I love you Logan, and I want my future with you." I said and he smiled.

"You won't have to do anything of that, because I love the real you." He said, leaning down and kissing me passionately.

"Finally!" I heard cheering behind us, and we both laughed as we pulled away from each other. I turned around to see the guys clapping, smiles on their faces.

"How long have you been standing there?" I asked, and they shrugged, looking at one another.

"Long enough to know that you two are together again!" Carlos exclaimed, before hugging me. I laughed, hugging him back.

"You guys need to learn about privacy." Logan said, while Kendall and James shook their heads.

"Nah." Kendall said, before doing the bro shake with Logan.

"As long as you don't go trying to steal her again, I think we'll be fine." Logan said, and Kendall laughed as his face turned pink.

"Yeah, sorry about that." He said, scratching the back of his head. "You don't have to worry about it though, because I have Micaela and she makes me the happiest I've ever been." He added, and I nodded.

"Yeah, but you better never hurt her, because if you do, I'll hurt you." I said, pointing at Kendall.

"Yes ma'am." He said, saluting me.

"I'm being serious." I raised my eyebrows, taking a step towards him.

"I know, sorry." He said, taking a step back.

"And if you ever, ever hurt Hope again, I'll hurt you and your leg will seem like nothing." James said, pointing at Logan. Logan's smiled, while I put a hand on James' shoulder.

"James-" I tried, but I got cut off.

"Okay, because you won't have to ever worry about that," Logan said, "but can we go inside? These crutches actually hurt after awhile." He added, and I smiled while James nodded.

"I have something to tell you guys." Kendall said as we all headed towards the living room. I dropped my bags off by the stairs, before we all sat down on the couch.

"What is it?" Carlos asked, taking a seat next to James, while I sat down in between Logan and James. Kendall was on the other side of Logan, so I looked past him and at Kendall.

"I'm moving out." He said, and everyone got quiet. "It's with Micaela, so I won't be far away, and we can all see each other when we want." He added, and I smiled.

"That's great. After that argument you two had, Micaela was telling me about how you were suppose to. I didn't think it was going to happen though." I smiled until I looked at everyone else's expressions. "What?" I asked, my smile disappearing.

"I'm moving out with Caitlin." James said, looking at everyone. "I was scared to tell you guys because the friend group would officially be apart from each other. But I guess there's no better time to tell you guys than now. We'll still be in LA though."

"I guess if we're doing this now, then I'm moving out too." Carlos added, before the room went silent.

"So you're all moving out?" Logan asked, sitting there, looking at the ground.

"I guess so." Kendall sighed, looking at everyone.

"That means this house is going to you two, unless you're moving out too?" James said, while Logan and I looked at each other.

"I guess this house is ours." I said, and Logan nodded.

"So our friend group is officially splitting up? House wise?" Carlos asked, and we all nodded.

"It's fine, because we'll all be in LA still, and we can visit each other." James said, a smile on his face.

"Actually. . . Alexa and I were talking about moving to Hawaii." Carlos said, and we all looked at him, James' smile gone.

"Hawaii?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Damn." Logan sighed, leaning back against the couch.

"We can all keep in touch though." Carlos said and we all nodded.

"We can all hangout still." Kendall said, pointing at three of the four guys.

"So this is where it ends?" I asked, and we all looked at each other.

"It's not the ending, it's just a new beginning." Kendall said.
