"Are you ready Kate?" Conor asked me as he stepped into my room. "Yeah I am." I said to him, grabbing my bags. Conor took my hand and led me downstairs to where Ben and Liz where waiting patiently with big grins on their faces, looking proud. Soon I would be on my way, with Conor, to the University of Brighton and I couldn't be more excited. I had always planned on going to University, starting straight after graduation in fact because I wanted to study communication and journalism. It was something I had dreamed of doing ever since I was little and I reminded myself of that dream almost everyday, as well as my parents. They accepted it and they were glad that I had made up my mind, but when they died that dream left my mind completely and I thought that I wouldn't be going to University but here I am, and to make it even better I'm going with the guy I love and my best friend.

Jess moved here from Ireland a few months ago, after a lot of begging to her parents to let her come here. She has been staying here, thanks to Ben and Liz being so amazing. They said yes immediately, it was just Jessica's parents that needed a lot more convincing. Conor put the idea out there and Jess and I agreed immediately, and she was okay with leaving everything in Ireland behind, just as I did.

We all applied to University of Brighton together, and we all opened our acceptance letters together, and we all jumped around in excitement together when we read that we had been accepted. A week ago, we all went to check out the campus together, get our schedules and find out where we would be staying. Jess and I would be staying in the same room, with another roommate but we didn't mind and Conor would be just one floor up.

"I can't believe I have to go through this again and two more times after this!" Liz said, wiping her eyes and sniffing a little. She was such a softy at times like this but really tough at other times. Just like mom, and I loved her for it. I used to hate that Liz reminded me of my mom, because I would have to look at her and speak to her everyday and be reminded of my mom, which was too painful but now I love her for it and I'm going to miss her and Ben terribly but obviously I will visit as often as possible.

"Come here. I'm so glad that you're with us Kate, Liz and I wouldn't have it any other way." Ben said as he pulled me into a hug and squeezed me tightly. Ben reminded me of my dad and of course I loved him for it now too. I was so happy to have him and Liz in my life, because they have just helped me so much with everything, as well as Conor. Without them I would have fallen apart. After my birthday and for the rest of the year I worked with Ben at the studio, and Ben got Jess a job there too although I only saw her on lunch breaks because she worked for someone else but it got us some extra money for university and it gave us something to do. I also got to see Conor a lot, because he booked a lot of time with Ben to work on some covers and his new sings. During that time I got a lot closer with Ben and Jess as well. We have really got our old friendship back and I couldn't be happier.

"You'll see me soon Uncle Ben, I won't be gone forever." I said, smiling. "It's still going to he hard to get used to not having you around all the time, especially at work. With you and Eddie gone, work is going to be very boring. Oh and Jess of course." He said, and I could see he was trying not to cry. "I'm sure you'll find some great replacements." I said, hugging him tightly one last time.

Eddie and his family had moved Ireland in fact, of all places. But from what I've heard they are very happy there, as I was at the time too. Eddie keeps in touch from time to time, he's also going to University and he will be joining his girlfriend there. I still felt very guilty at times for what I did to him, but I know he forgives me and it makes me feel a lot better to know that he was a girlfriend and that he is happy.

I turned to Liz, giving her a tight hug before moving on to hug my little cousins who also looked very sad to see me go. "I will visit as often as I can, and I won't even be that far away." I said to them, hugging them again.

Next Liz and Ben moved over to hug Jess goodbye. "Thank you both so much for letting me stay here. I really can't thank you enough." Jess said and she squeezing them tightly. "Don't even worry about it." Ben said. "You have been a pleasure to have. You are welcome to stay anytime." Liz said, squeezing Jess tightly.

Liz and Ben gave Conor a hug as well and they followed us outside to wave us goodbye. Conor backed out the driveway and we all waved at them. I was going to miss them just as much but I would see them soon.

"Excited?" Conor asked and I nodded with enthusiasm. "Very. It's going to be great." I said, grabbing Conor's hand and squeezing it. He smiled at me. "Oh would you two get a room." Jess said jokingly and we all laughed. "It's you and I Kate, I love you." Conor said and I blushed. "I love you too." I said. "And me!" Jess said and we laughed again. "Yes and of course you." I said and she smiled.

I don't know what else the future holds, but with Conor and Jess by my side I know that it's going to be amazing, and my parents will always be with me, no matter what. I hope I can make them proud.

The End xx
