Life With Trent Harmon

Part 11: Goodbye Part 1

These next few are gonna go together but they are gonna have to be split into parts because there's so much to say, and I can't not tell part of it... They are gonna be sad, but after these next  three, there will be some happy ones!! Keep reading and telling your friends! I love y'all!!

You hear him close his door outside and Katelyn goes running through the house and meets him at the door. You look up from your phone as he comes into the living room. He makes eye contact and smiles and then turns back to Katie. He comes and sits beside you and pulls her into his lap. He leans over and kisses you on the cheek.
After a few minutes, your mom walks into the room holding a bag. She brings it over to Trent and says "here's just a little happy from your other family."
He sits Katelyn down next to him and takes it from her. "Y'all really didn't have to do that, Mrs. Tracy..." He looks up at her and then over at you.
"I didn't have any idea." You say with a weak smile.
"I know" your mom says "but me and Micheal wanted to! It's not much."
He looks back at her and smiles "thank you so much." He stands up and hugs her.
As he sits back down, Katie says "open it, Twent!! Open it!!"
He opens it and pulls out bag after bag of candy. "Y'all know me so well!" He laughs as he pulls out the last of it. Then, he pulls out a few pictures they had printed off. One of him and Katie, at church last Sunday. One of you and him on the porch, a picture you hate. One of him with Kyle at his baseball tournament from Friday. And one of their whole family. On the back of that one she had written "you're our American Idol, no matter what. Keep up your hard work. Do your best. We are all proud. - your other family."
He reads it and looks up. You notice the tears in his eyes as he stands up to hug your mom again.
He sits down, wipes a few stray tears and then looks at his watch. He glances over at you and says "we have a lot of ground to cover, we need to be goin.."
He hugs your mom again as you all walk to the kitchen. Trent and Katie go out onto the porch, holding hands, as your mom pulls you back. "Remember what I said (y/n). If you make me regret this, I swear."
"Mom. I promise. It's gonna be okay. I'm not gonna screw it up."
She hugs you and you both walk outside to see Trent knelt down to Katie's level, he arms around his neck, sobbing, and his arms wrapped around her, pulling her in.
"But I don't.. Don't.. Want you... To go.. Twweeenttt.."
"I'll be back before you know it," he says and pulls back from the hug, and looks into her eyes and smiles "and I'll bring you home a present. A really good one. Okay??"
She smiles as her tears start to dry and says "okay!!" He hugs her again and she says "I love you, Twent.."
"Love you to Katie Mae.." He stands up and walks over to you, hugs your mom, and takes your hand.
When you both get in the car, and he backs the Car out, you look over at him. As he turns out of your drive way, he takes your hand and slides his fingers between yours and grasps your hand harder than ever, but you don't mind. You see him wipe a few tears from his face as he drives.

When he pulls up at his house and parks, he releases your hand and looks at you.
"No talking about goodbye. Not right now. I want today to go well. And I don't wanna cry the whole day. And I don't want you to cry all day.." He moves a hair from your face and puts a hand on your cheek. "We have a busy day. You ready?"  You nod and and smile as he leans in an plants a kiss on your lips. As he leans back, a smile crosses his face. "You're really pretty, you know that?"
"You're really pretty too" you laugh and lean to him and kiss him again. You both get out of his vehicle and he slides his fingers between yours as you walk into his house.
Music is playing in the distance and the tv is going. Mr. Randy is sitting on the couch, watchin tv, and Randi Kathryn is sitting in the chair, holding Charlie Kate, and Richard Parker comes walking over to you. You bend down to pet him as ms. Cindy Rushes out of Trent's room and into the kitchen right past you.
"Hey (y/n) sorry. Trent hasn't even started packing, so I'm trying to help him out." She says hurriedly, writing something down and then rushing back into his room. You go sit next to RK and pet CK.
Trent goes back to his bed room, and after a few minutes, you hear him "hey (y/n). Come here for a minute." You finish your text message to Clay and walk into his room. You look around, realizing you haven't ever been in there before and even though ms Cindy is standing there, you get butterflies. You walk over to him, sitting on the bed, and say "why aren't you helping your mama?"
"She told me I was in the way, so I'm just chilling until she needs me." He smiles sweetly and takes your hand. You make eye contact and smile back.
Mrs. Cindy says "Trent. Where's the new luggage I got you for Christmas?"
He glances at her and smiles shyly "ummm.. In my trunk from mine and Clay's beach trip after Christmas."
"Trent!!" She says in an irritated tone as she walks out of his room. When he hears her walk outside, he grabs your waist and scoots to the edge of the bed. He wraps his arms around your waist and leans up to kiss you. You kiss him back timidly, again suddenly aware that you're in his bed room alone. You run your fingers through his hair and the kiss grows a little. He pulls back as RK walks by the room and says "moms on her way back in." You scoot away from him a little but he keeps his hands on your waist as turn towards the door and Mrs. Cindy walks in. She looks at you and then at Trent and then unzips one of the bags from Trent's trunk to see a bunch of wadded up clothes.
"TRENTON WILLIAM." She raises her voice. "THIS IS RIDICULOUS." And looks at him with a completely surprised look.
"Sorry mom" he smiles at her with a sheepish smile as she takes those clothes and puts more in there, folded neatly.
When she has her back turned, Trent catches your eye again and motions for you to come closer. You Bend down to his level and put your ear toward him, but he kisses your cheek and you laugh as ms Cindy turns back toward you to put a piece of clothing in one of the many bags laying next to Trent on the bed.
"Anyway I can help you, Mrs. Cindy?" You ask.
"Nah I think I have it under control, thank you though!" She says back, sweetly. You go to sit next to Trent but he pulls you into his lap and wraps his arms tightly around your waist. You laugh as Trent grabs your sides and tickles you and Mrs Cindy turns around and gives Trent a look.
Against Trents wishes, you stand up and go back into the other room.
After a little while, he comes into the living room and says "it's 2:30, you ready to go? Clay and ash are meeting us at the Longhorn.."
His dad looks up at him and says "is it too much farther for them to drive up here?"
Trent laughs and says "apparently.." You walk over to the door and he says into the other room "we will be back later. Call me if you need me to get anything mom."
"Okay I will. Don't ignore my call." Mrs. Cindy says from his room. He laughs and then takes your hand to lead you to all of the adventures the afternoon will hold.
