I decided to tell everyone the big news all at once. The girls have been begging and begging me to tell them what was up for I have already told them that I had big news to tell them once I got home. The girls aren't the only ones in suspense, Grace has news to tell me, and won't tell me until I tell her my big news. I only have one tiny idea of what it could be, because I have heard some rumors from Cam that Grayson and Grace will go grab everyone coffee and will be gone for about an hour and a half. Sometimes they will be gone so long that they come back with cold coffee and sometimes no coffee at all. 

Anyways, as much as I don't want to do it, I have to start packing my stuff for my flight later this afternoon. I get my stuff together and take a good long shower before breakfast. I talk with my family about what happened last night and I got the last reaction that I was never expecting. "Well finally!" they all squeal in unison. I am in shock that they have wanted us together. "How long have you been wanting us to be together?" I ask everyone, eyeballing my dad. He looks at me with a sarcastic embarrassed look on his face as it turns back into the wide grin that it was before. "Since you were allowed to date." My mother answers.  Everyone nods in agreement. "Wow. Thanks for not forcing me to like him, or else it might not have happened." I tell them all, especially my mom and dad. 

*small time jump*

"Yeah, I'm not joking! Ask your parents, our families might have been planning this since our parents became best friends." I told Clay. We had met up at our favorite park to spend some alone time together before him and my family see me off at the airport. I wish he could just come with me. But he can't because he still has school here. We thought about it already trying to make it work but we couldn't away from the school problem. Clay laughs at the story I told him about breakfast. "I bet so. The plan might have gotten super serious when I told them that I had a crush on you in like, seventh grade." He looks at me and blushes. "Really? To be honest with you, I had a crush on in eighth, ninth, and part of this year. I put my feelings away for LA but seeing you again, I just couldn't hide them from myself anymore." I look over at him while he pulls me into a hug. "I love you, you know that right?" he whispers into my ear which gets me excited. "I love you too." I say into his shirt. 

We finally get back up and start to walk back to my house. We don't live far from the park and I love walking from and to my house. Halfway to my house, Clay stops us and turns off at a turn and starts walking toward an abandoned lot. On this lot, there used to be a gorgeous house that burned down about 10 years ago. Now all that is there is a field of wild flowers. "What are we doing going down here?" I ask him after catching up with him as he had quickened his pace. "I found this place while you were gone and found to love it here. I wanted to show it to you as soon as I asked you out." He said grabbing my hand, yanking me closer, and picks me up bridal style. "Ah!" a squeak slips out of my mouth as I wasn't prepared for the lift. He laughs and continues to carry me to the field. 

We get to the middle of the field and he sets me down in the middle of it all. He's right, it is gorgeous here. I want to spend all day and night here with him. The sunlight on the flowers are perfect and the warmth makes it the perfect temperature out. "Hmmmm. I want to stay here all day with you. I never want this to end." I have the biggest smile on my face as I look at him. He also has a huge smile on his face as he leans in, and it happens. The most amazing thing of the amazings happens, as he kisses me with warmth and love. I automatically start to kiss back as I realize what is happening. As soon as it starts, it's over, and I want it to come back. "I love you, and I always will not matter what." Clay looks at me with the happiest sparkle in his eyes. "I love you too, and I also always will." I look in his eyes with the most happiest smile on my face I have had since I found out that I would be moving to LA to pursue my dreams.

Hand in hand we walk as we head back to my house to pack up my stuff into the car, to head to the airport. I put my stuff back into my dad's car, that I still wish was mine. My parents are in the front, and in the back I'm on the right, Clay in the middle, and my brother on the left.  During the drive, my mom of course wants more juicy details on how Clay asked me to be his girlfriend. My brother, being my little brother, begs to just talk about it over the phone "Preferably when I'm not around to hear any of it." he says dramatically. 

When we reach the airport, we unload my stuff and we bring it inside. By "we" I mean me, myself, and I. "Bye mom, bye dad, by little bro." I say hugging them all with a good amount of strength. I reach Clay last, with him going to be the hardest to say goodbye to. "Goodbye Clay, I'm going to miss you so much. I love you." I say giving him to biggest hug I could possibly ever give anyone. "I'll miss you too. I love you so very much." He says and squeezes be back with much love. Before I start to walk away, Clay grabs my wrist, looks over to see if my parents are watching, which they aren't and gives me a quick yet passionate kiss which I indeed return. My flight number gets called as I walk toward the gate.  The last person I see was my perfect Clay.
