California Dream Part Two

Chapter 2

"I'm home!" I hear Ashley call from downstairs.

I climb off the bed and make my way down the steps.

"Hey. How was San Francisco?" I ask.

"It was a lot of fun. How was it here with Kian all weekend?"

"Pretty good."

"When are Erin and Jc leaving?" She asks.

"They said to call or text them after you guys got back."

"Alright. Just give me a second, I need to put my stuff up in my room."

"Alrighty, I'll text Erin and tell her you guys are back."

"Ok." She starts to make her way up the steps so I pull out my phone.

Me- Hey Ashley and Connor just got back. Are you guys leaving tonight or tomorrow morning.

I take a seat on the couch and wait for a reply.

Erin- You guys can come over tonight. I think we're leaving early in the morning though.

Me- Alrighty, I'll tell everyone. We'll be over in a bit.

I start a group text to Ricky, Sam, Trevor and Connor.

Me- Erin and Jc said that they'll be leaving early tomorrow morning so they want us to come over tonight and say bye. We're allowed to go over whenever.

They all reply saying that they'll be over as soon as they can.

I walk back upstairs and into mine and Kian's room. I find him in the closet looking for a shirt to wear.

"Hey, Erin said that we can go over whenever and say bye. They're leaving tomorrow morning."

"Alright," he says. He continues to look through his shirts.

I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his bare stomach.

"What shirt should I wear?" He asks.

I let go and start to look. I pull out his red and white striped tank that he used to wear almost everyday.

"Good choice," he says with a smile.

He slides the shirt on.

The realization that Erin, Jc, and Copeland are leaving starts to set in, making me sad.

Kian wraps his arms around my shoulders after noticing the look in my eyes.

"It's alright," he says.

I lay my head on his chest and sigh.

He plants a kiss on the top of my head making me smile a little.

"I love you," he tells me as he rests his chin on top of my head.

"I love you too," I reply.

"We better get going," He says.

He let's go and we walk out of the room.

Kian goes downstairs so I go in Ashley's room.

"What's up?" Ashley asks.

"Erin said we can go on over."

"Alright I'll be down in a second."

"Ok." I walk downstairs then grab my combat boots. I slump down on the couch next to Kian then slide them on.

"You guys ready to go?" Ashley asks after she comes down the steps.

"Yup," Kian says as we both stand.

We make our way out to Kian's car then start to drive towards Erin and Jc's. My mind starts to wander as I think about the first day I had moved to California, and everything Erin and I have been through together.

I feel Kian's hand grab mine as we continue towards their apartment. I just really wish this wasn't happening.

The car comes to a stop in. Outside still sits the moving truck and the SUV but now along with Sam's car and Connor's car.

I get out and Kian meets me at the front of our car. He grabs my hand again and the three of us make our way to the front door. Ashley opens it and we all walk inside.

"Hey," Kian says as we see everyone sitting in the living room.

Ashley goes and sits next to Erin probably to discuss the details of her and Connor's weekend. I end up just following wherever Kian ends up leading me to.

He takes a seat on the floor along with everyone else since there's no furniture.

We all talk for about an hour or two.

"Well it's 9:00 we better call it a night if we're leaving at 4am," Jc says.

"Yeah you're probably right," Erin says.

I stand up and hug Erin.

"Bye," she says hugging me tightly.

"Bye." I try to hold back from crying. I promised myself I wouldn't cry. Before I can though Erin does. Of course that ends up making me cry. She let's go and wipes her face. Jc comes over and gives me a hug.

For the first time ever I actually see all the guys give legitimate hugs. Not one of those stupid "bro hug" things but a genuine hug. Honestly I even think I see them tear up a bit.

Ashley gives Erin and Jc both a hug, then all the guys give Erin a hug.

"Tell Copeland we said bye," I say with a smile.

"We will," Erin says smiling.

I give her one last hug then we leave. That's it, we just leave. I don't really know what I was expecting. I guess part of me thought they'd just change their minds right there and say that they're staying. They didn't though. By the time I wake up in the morning they'll be gone. On their way to Alaska leaving California behind. Leaving all the YouTube memories and the California Dream behind.
