This chapter is a little shorter than I expected. Sorry guys.

Today, is the day Vanessa is leaving for Sacramento. For the past week, she's been packing, trying on all of her clothes to see what fits and whatnot, going through photo albums, remembering our times together.

Vanessa gave me some of her clothes that are too small for her so that's what I changed into. A pair of black leggings and one of those white, long tank tops.

"You look so much like me." Vanessa says, leaning on the bathroom door.

I couldn't help but smile. "I know. You can totally tell we're sisters."

She smiles and walks next to me, so now we're both looking into the mirror. After a few seconds of just staring into the mirror, I feel myself tearing up.

"Oh Laura." She says and I let out a sob.

"I- I just can't believe your leaving." I say as Vanessa leads me into her room, which is full of boxes.

"It's not like I'm leaving forever. I'll still be in the same state. We can text, call, video chat. We can still visit each other. And hey, you'll see me on TV." She says and I slightly smile. She pulls me into a hug.

My sister and I have been through so much together. Our family trip to Disney Land, the song I wrote for her (that she doesn't know about yet), birthday parties, our breakups. 

Even though, I knew this day was going to come. She's 23! It's time for her to kick start her career and begin her life.

We hear a knock on her door, messing up my thoughts. I turn around and see it's my mom and dad.

"My grown up girls." My mom says. I turn back to Vanessa and smile.

"Umm.. There's some people here?" My dad says.

Vanessa looks at mom and dad.
"Guys, I told you I didn't want a party."

My parents put their hands up in surrender. "We didn't plan this. Laura did." Dad says.

I giggle and turn back to Vanessa. "Love ya." I say while smiling innocently.

My mom laughs and walks away, along with my dad. Then another body appears in the doorway.

"I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye."

"Riker. Hey." Vanessa says while smiling.

An awkward moment of these two just staring at each other. "Umm, I'll leave you two."

I walk to my room and close the door behind me.

"Boo!" Someone yells behind me, causing me to scream.

"Ross! That wasn't funny! We've been dating for 2 months and your already trying to kill me?" I say through my pounding heart. But he is laughing so hard his face is turning red. If I threw a tomato at his face, it would blend in. That's how red his face is.

"C-Chill out babe." He says while walking towards me. "I was only messing with you." He says, wrapping his arms around me. I sigh and lean against his chest.

"Did you bring your guitar?" I ask him.

"Yeah. It's in Riker's car." He says. I shake my head. "I can't believe I'm doing this." I say.

"What do you mean? You have a YouTube channel with your song covers." Ross says.

"Yeah I know that but I can't feel them staring at me. Your siblings will be looking at me, along with my parents, and Vanessa. Plus I've never sang one of my songs before. I'm just nervous."
I confess.

Ross leans down and kisses my forehead. "Your going to do great. And I'll be right next to you, playing the guitar."

I smile and give him a peck on the lips.

"Oh. Have I told you those leggings make your ass pop?" Ross says while reaching towards my butt. I slap his hands away. I blush madly and sit on my bed.

"What?" He asks innocently.

I groan and lay on my stomach. Then I realize Ross is probably staring at my butt so I flip over and lay flat on my back.

Ross bursts out in laughter.

Will someone go get that tomato?
