022.

Kayli lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. The familiar hum of her house felt oddly foreign tonight. Trevon had only left a few hours ago, but the weight of his absence was already settling heavily on her chest. She turned on her side, trying to find a comfortable position, but her mind wouldn't stop replaying their last conversation at the airport.

Trevon took Kayli's hand into his, looking into her eyes before saying, "Thank you for everything - I appreciate you holding a nigga down throughout all of this."

Kayli's eyes brimmed with tears. "I'm so proud of you, babe. I know you're gonna be amazing on this tour. Just remember to call me, okay?"

Trevon chuckled softly, squeezing her hands. "Every day. You'll be sick of hearing from me."

They shared a laugh, breaking the tension for a moment. Then, leaning in, Trevon kissed Kayli tenderly, a kiss filled with promises and longing. "I'll miss you more than you'll know," he murmured.

"And I'll be right here when you get back," Kayli replied, managing a smile through her tears. "We'll be okay. We're strong enough for this."

They hugged tightly, holding on to each other for a few more seconds. As Trevon's boarding call sounded over the loudspeaker, they released each other reluctantly.

"Go," Kayli said, giving him a gentle push towards the security checkpoint. "Go be great."

Half-watching her favorite show and trying to distract herself from the emptiness she felt. Suddenly, her phone rang, she glanced at the caller ID and saw it was a group FaceTime call from Miracle and Skylar. A small smile tugged at her lips as she answered.

"Hey y'all!" she greeted, trying her hardest to sound upbeat and positive.

"Hey girl! How you feeling?" Miracle's voice was bright and cheerful.

"You know we've been thinking about you," Skylar added, her tone equally warm.

Kayli sighed, letting her guard down. "I'm not even gonna lie y'all, it's tough. I'm so used to being with him and now that he's not here, it's hard."

Miracle held an empathetic look before saying, "It's a big change and it's okay to feel what you're feeling."

"Exactly," Skylar agreed. "You're not alone in this. We're here for you."

Kayli felt a wave of gratitude for her friends. "Thanks, guys. I just needed to vent a little. It's hard, but I'm trying to stay positive."

"Well, we've got just the thing to help with that," Miracle said with a mischievous glint in her eye. "How about a night out on the town? Just us girls. We can hit up our favorite spots, get some drinks, some food. What do you think?"

Skylar nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, it'll be fun! And it'll help take your mind off things, even if just for a little while."

Kayli hesitated for a moment, but then she thought about how good it would feel to get out of the house and be around her friends. "That sounds like a great idea. I could definitely use a night out."

"Bet!" Miracle cheerfully said. "We'll be there in an hour. We love you!!"

"I love y'all more!" Kayli expressed before ending the call. She got out of bed and headed to her closet, picking out a cute outfit for the night. She did her hair and makeup.

When Miracle and Skylar arrived, they greeted each other with big hugs. Piling into the car, Miracle played Lick Or Sum By Glorilla and headed to their first destination - called Cooper's Cove.
