CLAUDIAS POV
I woke up with Jai's arms wrapped around me. I started to cry. Today was the day I had been fearing for weeks now and I knew that today I would have to say goodbye. I slowly pulled myself away from Jai and walked to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet and cried it felt like a breakup. The thing that makes me upset is that I know long distance relationships hardly ever work. Jai is my life and I can't bare to think of life without him. The door starts to open. Shit it's Skip.
"Hey what wrong Clauds" he says giving me a hug.
"I don't want you boys to go. Its just not going to be the same. I have to start a new school. I am not going to see you for 2 months." I cried
Daniel looked concerned and upset.
"I don't want to leave you either or Brit but we have to go and we will be back I promise. You may not know it but you and Brit mean the world to us boys, your our sisters. We love you so much and no matter what we will come back and take you with us next time." skip says rubbing my back.
"I love you skip and I miss you already" I said giving him a hug and a kiss on the check.
I return to a sleeping jai and I cuddle in beside him. I take a photo of him so every time I want to see his beautiful sleeping face I can just look at it.
"Hey baby" jai says in his deep morning voice.
"Hey" I say giving him a kiss
"Today's the day" jai whispers
"I know" I reply
"Claudia I want you to know that no distant can make me stop loving for you. I am in love with you and nothing can change that" jai says as a tear builds up in his eye
"I love you more than anything" we kiss passionately.
BRITTANY'S POV
I was sitting on the couch at home, all I could do was think about all the memories Luke and I had together. Our first kiss, the first time we said I love you to eachother, our first date. I could only focus on him, on is, on what we had. My mind is made up though, I'm not going to the airport. Even though I want to be with him more than anything I gotta let him go. But I wish I had saw him yesterday, just to say goodbye, just to have some closure but I don't want either of us to have mixed emotions about the whole situation.
All of a sudden I heard someone come in, it was Claudia.
"How come you're not with Jai?" I asked.
"I'm here to grab a few things, the boys fly out in three hours, they're headed to the airport in an hour." Claudia looked upset. "But why don't you come to the airport, you can just say goodbye to him?"
"No Claudia, I can't go to the airport." I said looking down.
"Why not?" She questioned.
"Because I said so ok?" I got angry. "I'm sorry it's just not happening ok?" I said a lot calmer.
"Brit I think you should come." Tears started rolling down my face.
"Claudia Luke said he wanted me to go to the airport if I wanted to be with him, if I wanted to try and make our relationship work."
"All the more reason you should go." She said.
"I'm sorry, I just can't." I told her, finally she gave up.
"Ok I'll see you when I get home." I could see Claudia was preparing herself for Jai leaving, she looked so anxious, not for them to leave but it looked like she was anxious because she didn't know what to do when they leave. Claudia walked out the door. I just tucked my knees into my chest and cried. I think this is the worst decision I could ever make.
CLAUDIA'S POV
We were in the car driving to the airport. Gina was trying not to cry but couldn't help herself, that made me want to cry more. We got to the airport and no one said a word. Not even Beau. The boys were excited but Gina and I were just sad. I looked over at Luke, he looked so upset probably thinking about Brit not coming to the airport. We had to wait for about an hour and a half in the airport before their flight but it went really fast. Before we knew it there was only 20 minutes before their plane left. I didn't take my arms off of Jai.
"I can't believe this is happening." I said to him trying my hardest not to cry but it wasn't really working.
"I know but we are gonna talk everyday, I'm gonna tell you about LA and our new house and you're gonna tell me what's happening in Glenroy, like what you're having for dinner and what school is like. We're gonna be fine Claudia." He said with his hands on my cheeks.
"I know, I'm just gonna miss you so much!" I said hugging him.
"I'm gonna miss you too!" He said then kissed me. Then we heard over the loud speaker they only had ten minutes before they had to board the plane. I let Gina and the boys have some space while they said their goodbyes. I hugged James, "I'm gonna miss you James!" "I'm gonna miss you too Claudia." I then looked at Skip.
"Thanks for everything Skip, like boxing with me and helping me get through some tough times." I said while hugging and crying.
"Anytime!" He said to me and laughed. They both went to say goodbye to their parents. I looked over at the Brooks', Beau came running up to me.
"You're coming to LA the day you finish school and then you can stay with us as long as you want!" Beau said while hugging me tightly.
"I will Beau." I said laughing. "Bye Claudia." He said as it was time to board the plane. "Bye Beau."
Then Luke came up to me, and all I could feel was sadness, for him and for Brittany. I hugged him, "I know she still loves you."
"If that were true she'd be here." He said. I didn't have anything to say. "Just tell her I say goodbye." "Of course." I said. "Seeya clauds, thanks for being an amazing friend!"
"Seeya Luke." I gave him one last hug. And then there was Jai. I ran up to him and hugged him as right as I could. "I don't ever wanna let go."
"Me neither, but I gotta go Clauds." He said with his eyes starting to water.
"I know." I said crying.
"I love you so much Claudia." He said giving me one last kiss before he left.
"I love you too." We let go of each other and he boarded the plane. I went up to Gina and she put her arm around me, we were both sobbing like idiots but we didn't care.
We turn around and then we see Brittany running in. I'm confused. She saw us.
"They've gone?" Brittany asked us.
"Yea sweetie, they just got on the plane." Gina hugged Brittany. All Brit did was cry. She couldn't even say anything. After a while we hopped in Gina's car. We were all silent. Gina dropped us off at home. "Thanks Gina." "Yea thank you Gina." Brit and I both said sadly, it was hard to be genuine when you were that upset. "That's alright girls, come over anytime ok?" We smiled at her as a thanks. She drove off and we went inside, mum wasn't home from work yet and it was just me and Brittany.
"You know you can tell him." I said to her.
"I don't really wanna do that." She said bluntly.
"But if you just tell him you went to the airport..."
"What Claudia? What?" She cut me off. "Luke and I weren't meant to have a happily ever after as you can tell so leave it alone."
"Brit all you did was show up late, he'll understand." I tried convincing her.
"It's not about that Claudia! Just get this in your mind, Luke and I are over ok? Full stop."
"But Brittany..."
"There are no buts Claudia, Luke and I are done!" She was speaking really loudly and angrily. She left and slammed the door to her room.
