Chapter 20 (Part 2 of 3)

Heaven's P.O.V

Taylor let out a shaky chuckle and then I felt hot tears on my neck. She was crying. "I-I love you, too........Heaven Swift," she said through her tears. Now, I swear if I smile any bigger my face will be stuck. I wasn't planning on pulling away, but we were interrupted by all of our peers 'awwww-ing' at us, so I jumped down. "How?" I asked her.

"Well, a little birdie told me that you missed your family, and I can't really bring them back, so I got the next best thing! I called their parents and convinced them to let them fly out here and spend time with us."

"So they're staying here?" I asked jumping up and down like a little kid.

"Yep! Until Saturday. Then they have to go back." That's why we had to come here. We needed room for everybody.

"Three days is more than enough! Um, I'm gonna go get washed. Grab your bags so we can change into our clothes for paint ball. Girls in my rom, boys, find a guest room. Cara, you wanna take me up?"

"It would be my pleasure," she said bowing to me. I hopped on her back, and we were at the bottom of the steps with my friends right behind us with their bags. "Alright, Cara,"

"Okay, attention all passengers, for your enjoyment of this ride please keep all hands and feet holding on tight to me. Our destination is approximately 7 seconds away. Thank you and enjoy your ride on the Cara express. And we are off," she announced as if she was a pilot and then started up the stairs. We were soon in my room and I was hopping off of Cara. "Thanks, Car."

"Anytime, babe. But you know, I do accept tips," she said in a sing-song tone.

"Oh yeah what would that be?" I asked with a smile playing across my lips. She used her pointer finger to gently tap her cheek signaling me give her a kiss. I slightly chuckled, but gave in and kissed Cara's cheek and then being funny, I used my mouth to make a fart noise on her cheek. She began laughing instantly.

"Alright, I'll be downstairs. Call when you're ready," said as she was walking out of the room.

"Guys, your here," I said more to myself because I couldn't really comprehend it.

"We're here! And your room is fire!" Says my friend since 1st grade, Jahnice. I met Jahnice in Girl Scouts along with Terri and Kayla, and we've been sisters ever since. I met Katalina in 4th grade. We just clicked and we became best friends. To be honest, my whole grade was just a giant family. We all care for each other. Yes a few of us have dated each other, and yes we would fight all the time, but that's what families do. Except for the dating part, families don't date each other. Unless they're into that type of thing. But that's besides the point. We never enjoy seeing each other hurt or in pain in any way. In the end, we're always there for each other. We love each other. We're a family.

"Uh, thanks Jah. I haven't really decorated it to fit me though. I actually haven't decorated any of the rooms I have at any of Taylor's houses. There's just a part of me that still thinks Taylor will leave or get rid of me, so I say, what's the point of decorating a room you will eventually be leaving. Yeah, I have a couple pictures and my clothes, but other than that, all the rooms I stay in are exactly how they were when I got there." My friends sat with their jaws open at my honest confession. I really didn't plan on letting all that out, but my friends have always had that effect on me. Even when I don't want to open up to them, I always end up doing it whether I mean to or not.
