Claire P.O.V

"So have you finished packing?" I asked as I entered Stacey's room.

Stacey had suggested we pack every single thing of ours as she didn't plan on coming back very soon.

"Almost" she replied. "I didn't know I had this much clothes" she grumbled. "I don't have enough space to fit all this!"

I chuckled. "I have an extra bag. You can use it" I offered.

"Oh gosh, thanks Claire. You're a life saver!" She muttered happily.

I nodded & went out to take the extra bag on my bed before going back to her room. "Here" I said handing the bag over. "I'll just go check on Kaylee for a minute" I informed her before heading out again to Kaylee's room.

"Come in" Kaylee said after I'd knocked.

I entered her room & looked around, "You're done packing I suppose?"

She just nodded her head sadly. "I really can't believe this is really happening"

I sighed, sitting down next to her & pulled her close to me "Me & Stacey will always be by your side, we'll never leave you. No matter where we go/live, the three of us will always stick together. That's something to hold on to, at least"

Kaylee let a tear roll down her cheek. "Yeah..."

"Hey... we're big enough already. We can move in to our own house actually" Stacey suddenly said, joining us.

"You're big enough, I'm not" Kaylee pointed out.

"Yeah well... you can still stay with me since I'm legally an adult which means I can look after both of you" Stacey reasoned.

"I'd like that" I replied, thinking. "But we have no money"

"I have some but it won't last long. I'll have to find a job then" she shrugged. "It'll be fine. I'll sort something out"

"And how are we going to tell mom & dad?" Kaylee asked. "As it is, we've already called mom to fetch us"

"Just tell them" Stacey shrugged. "Like how they just tell us of they're plans. We'll just tell them ours. They can't be mad"

"Probably" Kaylee replied.

"Probably not" I snorted. "I know mom wouldn't let us"

"We'll just do it" Stacey insisted.

"Of course" I mocked curtised. Stacey wouldn't care obviously. She's pretty mad at both mom & dad.

Stacey fake glared at me. "are you making fun of me? Come here you!" She grabbed my arm & pushed me on the bed before tickling me. "This is for underestimating me" she grinned. "I know we'll be able to pull it off. You just have to trust me"

"Stop!" I gasped. "Kaylee...help!"

Kaylee laughed at us before joining in, jumping on Stacey's back making her yelp in surprise.

The three of us wrestled each other, laughing & tickling. We were a mess, but we didn't care, this would probably be our last time having fun. I was going to cherish this moment forever.

Suddenly, two strong arms grabbed the three of us making us squeal.

"Dad!" Kaylee laughed when he started tickling her. "Stop! Can't-can't...breathe"

Stacey started tickling dad as well. "Let Kaylee go!" She shouted but couldn't help letting out a laugh. "C'mon Claire help me!"

"No. Claire's on my team" dad replied, grinning. "Right Claire?"
