Phoebe's POV

"Wait. Let me get this straight. You guys kissed?!" Taylor restated for the billionth time. More out of shock then confusion.

"Yes! It was amazing and then he pulled away and left with no explanation." I said my excitement dying down.

"Well are you going to ask him about it?"

"I don't think so Taylor."

"Why not?! You can't just pretend this didn't happen everyday." she yells and stands up from the bed. I place my hands on her shoulders to calm her down. I really don't see why she's getting so worked up.

"Because Taylor. It showed me that I really do think I need to go to New York. I can't keep playing these games with him and I need to get away. I think this is best."

"Are you sure about this?" She questions, calmly sitting next to me.

"I'm sure." Now that I've said it out loud, I know it's real. This isn't just a fantasy anymore. I'm really going to New York tomorrow.

~~~The next morning~~~

""You got everything packed?" Taylors asks. Her expression is sad but I know she's trying to be happy for me.

"Yeah I think so. I'm really going to miss you Taylor." I say hugging her. I try to keep myself together but I can feel tears on the brim of my eyes.

"Oh gosh Pheebs. Please don't cry.. because if you cry I'm gonna....oh here I go!" Before we know it were both in a puddle of tears, I never knew how hard it was going to be to leave her. She's my best friend. We finally pull away and clean off our eyes.

"Okay no more tears." I say fanning my face, "this isn't goodbye. This is see ya later. I'll come visit and you guys can come see me whenever you want okay! And I'll call you all the time."

"It's a promise." Taylor says with one final hug. I grab my bag and head to Nash's room. I told him and Hayes to meet me there by themselves so I could tell them the news. I know it's literally last minute but I didn't know I was taking the job for sure until yesterday and I wanted to spare myself as many painful goodbyes as possible. I knock on the door and Nash answers with a large smile on his face until he sees the suitcase next to me.

"What's going on Phoebe?" Nash questions with Hayes standing behind him.

"Look guys, I have some big news. I got offered a really big writing job in New York and I've decided to take it."

"Um that's great Pheebs, when do you leave?" Hayes asks.

"Um..Today." I mumble.

"TODAY?!" They both yell in unison.

"Why are we just now finding out about this?" Nash questions with anger in his eyes, I expected Hayes to be angry too but all I see in his eyes is pure sadness.

"I'm sorry! I didn't want you guys to find out this way but everything was so complicated and I didn't even know if I was going to take it and I just didn't want to say goodbye." I feel the tears coming again. I hate crying. I look over to see Hayes's eyes swelling again and that sets me off. I pull both of my brothers into a tight hug. "Please don't be mad at me." I manage to get out through sobs.

"We're not mad at you Phoebe. I just wish you had told us so we could've been more prepared." Nash says since he is the only one not crying. After we finally pull ourselves together I ask Nash if him and Hayes want to take me to the airport.

"Sure sis. When do you want to leave?" Nash asks.

"Um I'll be ready to leave soon, I just have one more goodbye left."
