Once In A Lifetime

Goodbyes and Hello's

My eyes opened and all I heard was the sound of Harry's breathing. He lied beside me on the couch asleep and Zoie, Brayden, Maddie, Ash, and practically everyone else on other couches and recliners in the living room after a long movie night.

I slowly stood up as to not wake up anyone who was still sleeping, but a pair of arms wrapped around me.

"No." Harry said as he tightened his grip but kept his eyes closed.

"So you don't want me to go make breakfast for everyone?" I asked.

"You and I both know that you aren't going to make breakfast for everyone Lils." He said quietly.

"Yeah.. You're probably right. However, I actually am hungry, so let me go grab some food and I'll come back."

"Okay... Promise?" He held his pinky out to me, still not having opened his eyes the entire time.

"Promise." I wrapped my pinky around his and he released me from his arms.

I stood up and walked into the kitchen and grabbed two doughnuts. Both for me obviously. I went back into the living room like I told Harry I would, but he was asleep already.

I walked back upstairs where I sat on my bed and turned on the TV. Suddenly, there was a knock at my door and I paused the show that I was watching on Netflix.

The door opened and Jason walked in. I sat up in the bed and I waved without saying anything as I took a bite of the chocolate doughnut in my hand.

"Hey. So I decided that I'm going to head home, and its not because if you! Before you go getting ideas in your head." He gave me a knowing look."I got a job offer and I'm going to take it, but I start in a few days."

"Oh my gosh!! That's amazing Jason! What is the job for?!?" I shouted.

"Umm.." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually, I'm going to be going into video game programing for some company."

"Jason that's awesome!" I said as I went to jump out of the bed and hug him, but got my legs twisted in the blankets and fell to the floor.

"You okay?" He asked me, turning his head upside down to my point of view.

"Just peachy." I said flatly.

"Come on. Up." Jason said as he held a hand out and helped me up from the ground.

"Thank you." I said as I hopped up.

"Anytime sis."

"So, I'm really going to miss you, but at least you'll be happy and doing something you love."

"How did you know that I like video games?" He asked curiously.

"Oh come on! You've spent most of your time here in the game room that my sister has." I said as I put my hands on my hips and laughed.

"Well... That is true." He said as he laughed too.

"Well... I guess I'm gonna get going. Goodbye sis." He walked over to me and gave me a hug.

"Goodbye Jason." I faked a smile, but I was devastated to see him leave.

"Oh. By the way! Karlee wanted me to tell you to go talk to her when I leave. She had something important to tell you."

"Okay.. I'll go talk to her after you leave. Until then, I'll help you grab your stuff." I said as I walked to his room and grabbed two of the five bags he had.

We walked to the front door, and I could feel the tears start to run down my face. I wiped them away from my eyes before Jason saw it.

We went and put the bags in his car and we stood there for a few minutes. Everyone else slowly started coming outside to see Jason off.

He waved goodbye to all of us and he got in his car. When he drove away, my heart sank. I know that I didn't know him for that long, but he is still my brother.

An arm wrapped around me and Harry kissed my cheek.

"You okay?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I am just going to miss him a lot."

"I understand... Hey I'm going to go pick up some food, do you want anything?"

"Uh... Surprise me I guess."

"Okay bye. I love you." He hugged me and walked back to the car.

"I love you too." I said as he hugged me.

I walked back into the house that suddenly felt really empty even though only one person is gone.

I remembered what Jason told me about how my sister needed to talk to me, so I went upstairs into her room and knocked on the door.

"Come in." She said as I opened the door to see her sitting on the floor doing absolutely nothing.

"You needed me?" I asked.

"Yeah, sit down. We need to talk."

"Okay.." I said slowly as I knelt down and sat on my knees in front of her.

"I have bad news." She said and when the light hit her face, I realized that she looked slightly scared.

"What?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard the door open and u went downstairs after a long conversation with my sister to see Harry walking into the house.

He walked into the kitchen and set all of the food down and I followed him.

"So, I didn't know what to get you, so I just wound up getting you a chocolate shake and- oh my gosh. You've been crying! What's wrong?"

"Its nothing Harry, where's my food?" I faked a laugh.

"Lily Ross. Tell me what's wrong."

I sighed and decided that I'd have to tell him or he'd find out sooner or later.

"My mom's coming."

Ooooooh!! Drama! Jkjkjk but I hope you guys liked the chapter and I'm sorry to any of you that didn't want Jason to leave. Love yoo! 💖😘 ~The Author
