Chapter Twenty-Eight

***

*4 months later*

   I stood in my driveway for the last time for a while, talking to all my friends, while Asher packed our bags in the trunk of the taxi. 

   Summer and Aria were tearing up, but wiping their eyes every couple seconds. Mason and Luke kept giving me hugs. And Garrison was full on crying. 

   This is my family, the people that took me in when I was completely and utterly broken. They loved and still do love me. They don't care about the mistakes I have made, they love me for me. 

   These are the people that took me under their wing while I was down. I know we will stay friends and family because true friends don't need a daily conversation. We will stay friends at heart, through everything. 

   Everyone knows everything about everyone. Asher even knows about Alex. He stayed. 

   These people are my best friends. 

   My other halves. 

   My human diary.

   And the people I trust the most with anything and everything. 

   I know that no matter how far apart we are, we will never be pulled apart. We will always be best friends. 

   There is a point in every friendship, where they stop being best friends and start becoming family, and I knew that day would happen. 

    It was a miracle that I got to meet these people and that they will stay in my life through every decision I make and have made. 

   They were the people to help me when Asher and I broke up and told me to go listen to him. Without him, we wouldn't be heading to college together. 

   Man, I can't even say anything about Asher, because there isn't words to describe how much he means to me. 

   He has taken care of me and loved me in every way he possibly can, and I love him for that. 

   I think the most I can say, is that I want him and I love him. I never want to loose him, because If I do, I will have lost myself. 

   I want him in every way humanly possible. When he told me that he was going to NYU with be, I was more excited than any moment in my life. 

   I was going to college with my other half. We are going to live together and go through this crazy roller coaster everyone calls life together. 

   "I will miss you so much, girly. I love you," Aria said, pulling me into a hug and I hugged her back. I guess we are saying bye now. 

   "I love you, Elle. Please be safe and talk to me," Mason said, puling me into a hug. 

   "I will miss you so much girly. I love you," Lucas whispered into my ear as he pulled me into a hug. 

   "Man sis. You are so grown up. Running off to New York with your boyfriend. Don't forget about us. I love you so much," he said, pulling me into a hug and crying into my shoulder. Now Summer and I know I am going to cry. 

   "Gosh, Elle-" she is already starting to cry. "You are so freaking grown. I never thought we would be this close, but we have been through things that you haven't been through with the others. But don't worry, those secrets stay between us-" and that's when I lost it. "I love you so much," she finished, pulling me into a hug. 

   Asher walked over and intertwined his fingers with mine. He nuzzled his head into my shoulder. "You ready to go love?" He asked. I gulped and nodded. Everyone walked us to the taxi and we got in, hand still intertwined. 

   "Bye-" everyone kept saying. Asher and everyone said bye earlier so that we could go after I had said bye. Asher told the taxi driver to drive us to the airport and he started driving off. I looked away from my friends and to the front of the car. 

   This is our time. 

   And so we went blissfully into our long journey of forever...together...
