Bridget's POV

The boys were officially coming home for good! I was so excited to see them, I couldn't wait any longer. The last I saw them was in June for my birthday... Now it was September, almost Labor Day. "Bridget... I can't do this..." Ellie came down the staircase. "They need to hurry up!" She laughed. "I need my Drew bear."

"I know how you feel girl!" I said smiling. "I need my baby." I said with a small frown. "Didn't they say they were two hours away?"

"Yea!" She shouted. "Two hours ago!!"

I laughed. And laid on the couch as we waited for them. One hour went by, then another hour, eventually 4 hours went by and nothing. No calls, no texts, nothing. "Ellie I'm worried."

"Me too." She sighed. "I'm calling Drew." She said as she went to grab her phone. "Hello?" She said and took enough of a pause for Drew to talk on the other end. "Oh thank god!! It's 10 o'clock and we were worried! Why the hell didn't you call us?!" I began to feel the weight lift off my shoulders. "Okay, but you still did." she laughed. " love you! See you soon!"

"Okay, what the hell happened?" I asked.

"He said they stopped at a hotel because Jonnie and Jamie were tired, but they're on their way now."

"Okay, any reason they didn't want to call us?" I asked.

"He said they didn't want to worry us." She laughed. I paused and looked at her like that makes no sense. "It's Drew, what do you expect??" She laughed.

"Very true." I added. We sat on the couch watching tv just waiting for them to walk through that door. My heart was racing and I couldn't wait to finally see them again.

We heard the door knob twist. I popped open my eyes from almost falling asleep. "Ellie!" I smiled.

"I heard it." She smiled too. Before I could hear or say anything else, she ran to the door just as it opened and jumped into Drew's arms. I was so happy for her to finally be able to see him. But what the hell was I doing? I needed to see my man too! I ran to the door and saw TC. I jumped on him and luckily he caught me. I hugged him so tight, I probably broke circulation in his body.

"Babe!"" He smiled. I jumped down from his grip and pulled in his face to kiss him. I looked over to see Ellie and Drew doing the same. "I missed you so much!!" I hugged him again.

"I missed you too!" We kissed again.

"Dammit Drew, why is it your life goal to worry the shit out of me?" Ellie asked.

"It isn't!" He laughed. "I just like to see the look on your face when I get home... Like you were worried I wouldn't come home." He explained.

"He likes to get a rise out of you El! Duh!" Jayk mentioned.

"That sounds about right." She laughed. "Just fucking kiss me dammit." I laughed.

"So what do you guys wanna go do?" I asked them.

"Well, what are you wanting to do?" TC asked me.

"Babe.. I'm down for whatever. As long as it involves all of us together." I smiled.

"Well," TC began. "I think we should go camping for the Labor Day holiday."

I gasped. "Really?!" I smiled. I love camping. I was shocked to hear him say that cause he had never mentioned camping before.

"Yea really." He laughed. "Why? Do you not like camping?"

"Babe.. You know me better than that. I love camping!!" I said.
