Remember me - hemmings [3]

Chapter 38:

Emilees POV:

"I'm not ready to go home yet Caluuuuuum" I whined as I lay he don't I Calum's waist from behind as he continued to drag me to the camper.

"Neither am I but you need to see Grace" He says and I think of her and agree. I can't believe we were leaving today, it was still a three and a half hour drive but still, I'm going to miss this so much. I hopped into the camper and watched as Luke and Ashton loaded they last few bits into the back, half of me wanted to take the wheel and turn around and go backwards back to Melbourne and Adelaide and Perth and Darwin and Brisbane I just don't want it to end.

But apart of me knows it's time to end and that I have to go back to my family it has to end a d as much as I don't want it to, I miss my family alot.

"Emilee it's not even funny anymore I'm genuinely going to cry" Ellie said as we watched them lock the back of the camper, I hugged her and then the boys entered and we all sighed.

"That's the last of it..." Luke whispers, everyone frowns.

"This truly has been an honour" Ashton proudly says and we all agree, we all get up and group hug.

"I know we said the last Polaroid pic we took would be the last but let's take one very very last one" Ellie said and so we grab the Polaroid camera and all sit down infront of the camper, troupe sets the timer, Ashton has a peace sign up while hanging his arm round Ellie's shoulder, Calum is sticking his tongue out, Morgan and troys are cuddling and Me and Luke have our noses touching and are sticking our tongues out at eachother then snap, the picture is taken.

The very last one of the road trip.

I run up to the camera and grab the picture and hold it to the light so the picture comes through we all crowd around and look at it intently we all smile, it was honestly the best of them all. We then all crowd back into the camper.

"Hey guys want to come back to ours and sleepover we can pick little Ashley and Grace up on the way there?" Luke suggests and we all cheer. We all have a powerade and then Morgan sits up front and starts the ignition.

"We all ready...?" Morgan asks.

"No" we all say in unison.

"Me neither" he replies and then starts driving. Me, Ellie, Luke, Ashton, Calum and Troye all manage to fit our top half through the sunroof, we wave and cheer as we say goodbye to our last destination tigon of the trip.

"GOODBYE CANBERRA!" Calum screams and we all join in. We then all link hands and bow mp amusing us all to laugh.

"Come on guys" Ashton says calmly.

"Let's go home" He says. That honestly felt like we were in a movie, Ashton is so corny but I love him. We all hug and sink back into the camper and begin our three hour and a half journey home.

--

Just an hour and a half into the journey almost everyone is asleep except Ashton and Morgan. I just sit there and try and think if what I could possibly do. I then have a bright idea. I grab a little piece of paper and a pen and grab a book to lean on.

I head over to the corner of the back bed and lie on my stomach, I cover the paper so no one can see it, not yet I then begin writing...

"Dear Luke, Ashton,Calum,Ellie,Troye and Morgan..."

--

We were now only half an hour away from Sydney, everyone was now awake the guys were lacking the rucksacks they bought and started filling them with their stuff. I did the same. I grabbed my black material rucksack. I shove books in there and pens and pencils make up and clothes, I then suddenly remember my note, I quickly grab it and without Luke seeing I slipped it into his rucksack.

I zipped my bag up quickly and placed it in a little cubby hole next to the bed. I sat at the back window and fiddled with the little dream catcher hanging a over the window ledge. I flicked it about and twirled it round my fingers as I watched the passing suburbs.

It felt like only five minutes ago we were half an hour away but when the sign that read "Welcome to Sydney" I frowned slightly. I grabbed my bag got my phone and powerade ready as we started passing the familiar streets. We go to pick up Ashley first. We pull up outside Ann's house.

"HEY ASHLEY!" Ashton calls out, we wait in dead silence then suddenly the door bursts open and out runs a little boy into his dad's arms, I watches out the window with everyone else as we all stared in awe as the family reunited. We say goodbye to Ann and then they climb back into the camper. With Ashley slowly falling asleep on Ellies lap we begin heading off for Lizs house.

After about ten minutes of driving we finally pull up outside. I'm surprised when we get there as its already five in the evening. I open the camper door and Luke follows me outside while everyone waits.

"Why do I feel so nervous?" Luke asks me looking at me almost laughing.

"I don't know but when you hold her again you will be fine" I say and kiss his cheek and he nods. Suddenly were snapped out of our talk when the door opens, I stare at the little blonde girl in the little yellow dress with little white strap dolly shoes.

"ITS MY MUMMY AND DADDY!" She shouts and runs into my arms, I sweep her up and spin her round. I held her so close to me it was unbelievable I had missed her so much. Luke wraps his arms round us and we all group hug. We say goodbye to Liz and then we get back in the camper. I tell Grace to be quiet as Ashley is sleeping and she nods.

Morgan then starts the ignition once more and starts driving to our house. By the time we get there Grace is flat out. We all climb out and Luke unlocks the door and me and Ellie immediately rush to go out Ashley as Grace to bed in Graces room. We then come back down and stars help unpacking.

Once were done we all set the allocates beds up in mine and Luke's room.

"Well here we are" Calum says and we all smile.

"Sydney" I said and breathed out.

"I can't believe we went to the biggest States in the whole of Australia in just two weeks" Troye says and we all agree but then the most horrid though crawls its way into my thoughts. I begin to cry as I remember the doctors appointment only about two weeks ago. Everyone suddenly realises and a few tears are shed.

"We love you so much don't ever forget that okay" Luke said and I nod and we all hug.

"Well guys This has been the best goddamned two weeks of my life and I'm so freaking glad that I'm getting to spend my last few living days with you guys because, I couldn't imagine a life without you guys, and that's what's going to hurt the most, because I don't want to be apart of a world where you guys aren't in it. But thank you all so much. Fir everything" I say. I watch as a tear slides down Luke's cheek and then a coupes from Calum and Troye and then a load from ellie and then more from Ashton.

We then decide to call it a night as we're all extremely tired from all the driving we have been doing over they last couple weeks. We say goodnight and all go to sleep. I feel Luke's arms wrap around my waist. I intertwine our fingers Ms he kisses the back of my neck, I then think to myself:

It's not the tumour that's killing me, In my mind I'm not dying because of that I've found something worth dying for and that something was My bestfreinds and Luke and Grace, I lived for them, I devoted myself to them. But now it's time for me to know that I will die knowing I lived.

And I'm so grateful for that.
