I help Hailey pack her last bag and I keep reminding her to let me know when she gets there and to text me at least every night or every other night.

"Elle you are killing me here, I will contact you and I will be fine" she assures me.

"I know I know.. just worried that's all" I say.

She hugs me tightly.
"I know, don't be too worried ok?".

I sigh.
"I'll try".

Her phone pings and she nods.
"It's time".

I nod and I carry most of her bags down, with Miguel's help of course. I'm not that strong.

I go to the front door and I walk out as I see Mathew and Gabriel walk up to the door. I look at the patrol car sent by Reign and the guys get out of the car. They both lean against the car watching us.

Gabriel smiles at me.
"Your little boyfriend watching you, interesting."

I ignore his comment.

I turn to my sister and I hug her tightly. She hugs me back and the kids runs out. They all surround her and hug her.

I see Gabriel watching me closely and I ignore him.

They all let go and I see Mal crying. Hailey hugs him and she pouts.
"Don't cry Mal, I'll be back soon. Don't worry".

He looks at her.
"Promise?".

She nods.
"Always".

He nods and Nate looks upset and this is usually his reaction to things. He stays quiet but you know he isn't happy about it.

Hailey looks at me.
"I'll be back".

I nod and she goes with Matthew. They go into the car and Nate goes after her. I stop him and i shake my head.

He groans and Gabriel looks at him.

"Cheer up kid, you have other siblings that will give you attention" he says to him.

I look at him absolutely shocked.

"What did you just say?" I question.

He goes to speak before Nate yells out.
"This is why Reign is better than you and he will beat you up".

Oh no Nate, what did you just do?

Gabriel chuckles and faces me.
"Absolutely delusional, enjoy your day".

He walks away and Nate runs back inside. I look at Rachel and Miguel, they sigh and nod.

They go after him and I watch him get in the car. The car takes off and I see Hailey in the backseat. I try not to get emotional as I feel Mal pulling on my hand.

"Are you sad too?" He asks.

I nod.
"Yeah.. but she will be back".

He smiles a bit.
"...yeah".
