BELLA'S POV:

My alarm went off at 8am. I hardly slept last night, neither did Ethan. We spent most of the night cuddling and kissing each other. Even now as we woke up, we were still spooning and holding hands.

I reluctantly got out of bed as Ethan sat up. We didn't say anything to each other, we just exchanged depressing glances. Quickly, I changed out of my pyjamas and into black leggings and a grey hoodie, I decided to wear comfy clothes as I had an 8 hour plane journey ahead of me.

Ethan was still sat on his bed after I had got changed, he looked up at me and held out his arms for a hug. I walked towards him and hugged him, he was still sat down on the edge of the bed while I was stood up. I wrapped my arms around his head, like I was protecting him.

"Don't make me sad." I smiled as I sat on his leg sideways, he had one arm around my waist and the other over my legs, his hand resting on my thigh.

"If I make you miss your flight does that mean you can stay for another 3 weeks." Ethan poked his bottom lip out.

"Ethan." I let out a small chuckle. He rested his head on my shoulder as I put my arm around him to rub his back. There was a knock at his bedroom door.

"Yeah?" Ethan said, his voice muffled as he was still resting on my shoulder.

"Can I come in?" Grayson's voice sounded disappointed.

"Yeah." Ethan said again but in a different tone.

Grayson entered and his face dropped when he saw me and Ethan cuddling.

"Awh guys, come on." He sighed. Ethan lifted his head up to look at Grayson.

Once Gray saw Ethan's expression he looked devastated. Grayson hugged us both for a while until Ethan reached to get his phone from his bedside cabinet. Ethan opened up snapchat and turned it to the front and started to film a video.

"Bella's leaving in a couple of hours guys." Ethan said as he filmed all of us poking out our bottom lips, I kissed him on the cheek before the video ended.

"Come on E, you better get dressed." Grayson patted him on the back.

Finally everyone was dressed and it was 9am. The twins moved my bags to be by the front door. I looked around the apartment for the last time and glanced through the glass door that releavled the balcony. I remembered the kiss me and Ethan shared under the stars last night. Ethan's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Did you pick up your-"

"Nope." I popped my p. I headed to Ethan's bedroom to retrieve my earphones. I would need these for the plane.

In the corner of my eye I saw Ethan's computer screen was on. I looked up and saw there was an editing software up with a file. Ethan didn't render the video yet so what was that?

"Bella why are you taking so long? Did you decide to stop and have a poop?" Ethan called out to me.

"I'm coming." I shouted back. I ignored the screen to prevent me from being late and walked back to the twins.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We strolled back to Shoreside Paradise where my mum and brother were waiting for me. The twins carried my bags, all they left me to carry was my phone. When we entered the hotel room it felt like I hadn't been there in years. The Californian scent hit me all over again. My mum hugged me and greeted the boys briefly.
