***Still in flashback***

Zinnia's POV●

I got up at 6 a.m in the morning. I pretty much became a replica of a zombie. I took a quick shower and got dressed in a pair of comfy tights and a sweatshirt since it was pretty chilly.

I headed to the kitchen immediately and starting making a cup of coffee for myself. Coffee is what keeps me going in the mornings.

{Coffee = Life}

Once I was done, I decided to study at the kitchen island so that I can eat at the same time. I'm always hungry.

I pretty much finished studying all the subjects except for Chemistry. I got my Chem books from my room and proceeded to study until kingdom comes. Perfect way to end the weekend.

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

My parents and Colton only came out of their caves in the afternoon. I took a break to have lunch with them.

After that, my parents went up to their room and started packing to leave tonight.

Colton on the other hand, went back into his room to study. He may seem like a lazy person but don't let it deceive you. He is really smart.

The next few hours went by really fast and I managed to complete all the topics on time.

It was roughly 7 p.m when my parents came down all dressed and ready to go.

I packed up all my stuff and raced to my room to tie my hair up properly and wear my black vans. Once I was ready, I took my phone and ran back downstairs to meet up with my parents.

Colton was ready as well so we helped carry the suitcases into the car and we all piled in. Dad decided to drive so mom sat beside him in the passenger seat. Colton and I sat behind quietly.

I remembered asking Zach to text me! Crap! I quickly pulled my phone out to see I had 2 messages from Zach and 1 message each from Jake and Jess.

I opened up Zach's message first. His contact name is Sparkly ;)

The first message read: Hey love, I'm home safe as promised. I miss you already :(

The second message read: Are you ignoring me missy? *wags finger*
I have a feeling that you have fallen asleep. Good night love. Sleep tight.

Awwwww. His last message made me smile. I quickly typed back a reply to him and then I clicked on Jake's message asking me to read Jess's message. I did as I was told.

Basically Jess has planned on the 3 of us having a group study session tomorrow after school at the library since finals are starting on Tuesday.

I typed back and 'okay and love you'. I put my phone on my lap and looked out the window throughout the whole journey to the airport.

Nobody was in the mood to talk. I have no idea when we would see them again. They are usually really busy at this time of the year.

I will miss them. I wiped a stray tear that was rolling down my cheeks. Be strong Zi. For them.

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

We are now driving back home from the airport. It was hard for all of us but Colton and I assured them that we would be fine.

After lots of hugs and kisses, they finally left towards their gate. Colton decided to drive and I was okay with it.

Zach had texted me reminding me that he would pick me up tomorrow morning for school as usual.

He has been trying to cheer me up for the past hour or so. He knows about my parents leaving today.

His efforts to cheer me up made me realize how lucky I was to have him in my life. Not to mention both my best friends as well.

They are concerned for me and even wanted to come over but I made them promise not to, because I wanted them to study. I am truly lucky to have them all in my life.

Just because this happens every time doesn't make it any easier. Sometimes, I just want to come home and rant about my day or have girl talk with my mom while she is busy cooking. Her favourite thing to do. Or joke around with my dad and watch horror movies with him.

But at the end of the day, I'm glad I have them as parents. They may be busy, but they try to be there for us the best they can. Colton is my rock in all of this.

At times, when they are unable to spend any festivities or sometimes even our birthdays with us, Jake and Jess would celebrate it with us. Colton acts as a parental figure in my life along with Martha.

I decided to drop this subject and focus on my exams for now. Then summer! I'm super excited for the holidays!

Yeah, I often have mood swings that can cause a whiplash. Sorry about that.

Once we reached home, both of us hugged each other good night and went into our rooms respectively to continue studying.

I can't wait for this to be over soon.

But I promise to make it up in the next chapter. It will be of the usual length and I will update the chapter before Saturday.
