Neri Pov:
This is so exciting! and will be the best trip in a long time. Anyways I've packed all my clothes. All I need to pack are my shoes I won't be needing many shoes just some heels boots and sneakers will be fine. As I was grabbing my things to pack into my suitcase I heard barking behind me as I turned around I see a furry little white dog looking at me. "Astra My babyyy" I opened my arms letting her come to me, as she went to me I give her some hugs and kisses. Now that I'm thinking of it who will take care of her while we're gone? I'll just take a break from packing I can finish the rest later anyways. I stood up carrying her in my arms leaving the room as I head into zanders bedroom. I knocked but to no response once again I knock I still didn't get a response. So I yell "Hey Zander, I'm coming into your room!!" When I opened the door I see that he isn't in his room so I just head to the Kitchen to see that he is there. "Zander!!" He turns to look at me with a questioning look. "Who's gonna take care of Astra while we're gone?" he just replies "Don't we have friends who could take care of her?" I try thinking of some possible people who can. I said, "Do you think Grandpa Finn could take care of her?" "You mean the old man living across our apartment?" I nod my head as a yes. He replies "Well ill go ask now and you can think of other people to ask just in case he can't" And with that, he left the apartment. I started thinking of people who could help. I came up with three, Aunt Beth, We could leave them at that pet hotel near our apartment, or we could ask a family member to take care of her. As I was thinking, Zander came in "He said he can take care of her, His grandkids will be there tomorrow anyways so we can drop her off tomorrow since we leave at night" "That's great!" he smiles "Well we haven't eaten yet so ill just go cook us something to eat" I just nod my head.

Tristan Pov:

I stood up to clean the dishes since it was only fair because he was the one who cooked the food, As I head into the kitchen I start thinking about what I'll do once I arrive there, Should I visit my mom or dad first...I'm not that close with my mother in the first place, she hasn't been there since she gave birth to me 17 years ago...All I knew as my parental figure was my father and his wife but I see his wife more as my mother than my real one...But whatever that's all in the past anyways..I'll just stay at my dad's home during the first day of my vacation then ill probably go with Ian and the others to visit some areas but of course, ill go to my parent's house from time to time. But for now, I just have to finish the last registration process. Hopefully, Ian is done packing our things now. If not ill give him a hand once I'm done finishing this.

Ian Pov:

Finally, I'm done packing his second bag, Now all that I must do is pack a bag for the shoes. But I'm guessing we won't have to pack many 3-4 shoes should be enough. I'll just grab the shoes that he usually wears. As I head to our closet in the hallway where all shoes are kept...I realize how much I hated that area of the house whenever it was at night. Considering the fact there's barely any light there. It's not that I'm afraid it's just that area that makes me feel uneasy. As I open the closet. I take out some items blocking the way and I found the shoes that I was meant to take, And when I got them out I put the boxes in the original places. And I head back to his bedroom to finish packing the last bag. I open the handle and headed inside sitting down on the floor once again it was currently 12 am in the morning, so I really want to finish what I'm doing. Well, I just have to place this last shoe then I'm done, Once I had the shoes in the bag. I got up and stretched...I decided to check up on him, In case he needs any help, And I headed downstairs I saw him in the living room about to get up "you done?" I said he turns to look at me "Yep and I'm glad that I am that was so tiring to finish" We both gave a high five for our accomplishment, "We will probably receive our ticket later on in the day" he said, I just gave him a nod. I said, "Let's go wash our faces then head to bed?" "Yeah sure" Then the both of us headed upstairs. When we got there we both went to the bathroom to do our routine, As we finished what we were doing I suggested: "Hey do you wanna just sleep in the living room?" He doesn't look at me and just looks at his phone but nods his head in agreement. We both grab our things and head downstairs. When we both get there we combine the sofas together to make a bed. Sleeping together isn't something that's weird for the both of us we did it plenty when we were younger kids so it just grew on the both of us as we grew older. Instead, the both of us actually enjoy it since we both hate the cold so it just feels warm...

Tristan Pov:

We were both setting up the couches so that both of us could get some sleep before the flight starts. It hasn't been that long since we did this, Probably a week. "Hey it's done," He says, The both of us get on the bed and made ourselves comfortable. I just stared at the ceiling "Hey Tris" "Hm" he turns to look at me "Are you nervous?" Nervous? Nervous for what? "What would I be nervous about?" "Well we haven't been there in so long, and we haven't seen our parents in person for so long already arent you nervous about seeing them once again after all these years?"

I just smile "Well. I haven't thought of it like that but I'm not nervous, I have no reason to be nervous about it in the first place but facing my real mother would actually, Never have been close never will" He moves closer and gives me a hug..."You'll be fine I'm sure your mom will accept you one-day tris" One day....That will never happen... I gave up on that when I was 10. I turn to look at Ina to find that he is falling asleep...I don't bother moving to refrain from waking him up...I don't know why but the two of us just met cause of an accident but yet here we are living in another country together who knew the both of us would still be this close even after high school...I look at him and He looks so peaceful...His sharp jawline, his eyes, and lips...Anything about him is just perfect...I started feeling this a couple of months back...I've never really cared about all his antics all the girls and boys he always brings home I never minded it but then leading to a month ago...I started seeing him differently not as a friend nor as my lifelong friend...But as something more than what we have...Every person I see his kiss, hug, And touch brings me pain knowing the fact we can't ever be more than friends...At least in his eyes, I'm only his childhood friend...I won't ever tell him for the sake of not ruining what we have...Especially when there are some things I have never told him... I made a promise to never keep secrets from him... But some secrets are meant to be kept even if it means it will hurt someone one day...And before I knew it I was drifting to sleep...
