Well today is the day my family and I go back to LA. Alex is already up there with her boyfriend but I think Cari is planning to live with us again. Which makes me happy. But I guess I'll say my goodbyes soon. It's only 8 in the morning and our flight is at 10 at night. I don't know what were the gonna do for the rest of the time here but they're all still sleeping and I don't want to wake them up. I walk out of my mom apartment because I'm gonna get them some breakfast. It's crazy that four years later I am walking through Dallas but it doesn't feel like home anymore. Like home is where family is but my family, that I created on my own with some little help by Mark, that home is in LA. I'm so use to a lot of people walking down the street just to go to Starbucks or just seeing people go on with their lives looking down at their phone. But here is where I find peace and love. I walk down a familiar street and walk into IHOP. I order some takeout and wait about 15 minutes for the food. When I get it I walk back home and set the table. Still no one is awake but I'm lonely. So I'm just gonna wake up Fletcher. I walk to the room to see her hugging my pillow and all I want to do is take a picture but I rather live for this moment. "Babe, wake up" I slowly shake her and she just puts the pillow over her head. "Please. I miss you" I say and she gets up with her messy hair. "I hate when you're cute" she stands up and kisses me. "I'll be out in a minute" she says and walks into the bathroom. I go back to the dinner table to put some pancakes on her plate and on mine. "Aww you got breakfast. You're really sweet" she sits in front of me and we eat in silence. "So you ready to go back home?" She asks and I can't help but smile because I get to wake up to her every morning. "Yeah. Especially because you're back home and we all missed you. I had so many sleepless nights because I didn't have you beside me. I don't know, there was always something missing when you weren't around" I say and she gives me a sad smile. "I'm sorry. You know how tour goes. It's concert after concert after concert. You know you all can come but I get that you don't want that kind of life for Aiden" she says and I nod. "I get it. I just hate seeing you leave all the time. But at least you're following your dreams" I say sadly and she comes over to sit next to me. "Come on, stop being sad. I love you and I know it's hard to be in a relationship with me and I give you every right to break up with me if you want to but just so you know it was so hard for me to get through my days on tour. But someone would always text me before my shows or call me and I would feel much better. You make my life better Shannon. Please understand that" she says and I nod. "Thank you. I really needed that. I'm not gonna break up with you anytime soon and I love you too" I say and kiss her softly on the lips. "We should have lunch with everyone before we leave" Cari says and I just pull her into another kiss. "Ssshhhhh I'm enjoying the moment" I say and I could feel her smile against my face. "I love you Shannon B" she says and I bring her closer so she's sitting on my lap. "I love you more" we bring this in the room so when the others wake up they wouldn't see anything.

--Afternoon--
"Aiden Jim Beveridge please just put on your clothes" I say tired out because I've been chasing him around the house. "But I like being naked" he says and I couldn't help but laugh. "Okay then, were gonna eat with a lot of girls so they're gonna see your little boy part" I say and he runs towards me. "Do I have to go?" He whines and I nod my head yes. "Were leaving tonight and this is your last time seeing them for a while" I say and puts on his clothes. "Why do these pants have holes in them?" He ask and I laugh. "Cause they're the best. Plus that's what I'm gonna wear" I say and he laughs. "Is daddy gonna wear them too?" He asks and I shrug. "Let me ask him" I say and walk into marks room. "Hey Mark by any chance do you want to match today?" I ask him and he gives me a confused look. "Our son wants us all to match" I say and he nods. "What do I wear?" He asks. "Ripped black jeans and a gray t shirt" I say and he nods. I go back into the living room to see Aiden trying to put on his shoes. "Mommy can you help me?" He asks and I walk towards him. "You look cute in your little converse"
I say and he smiles at me. "Haha and you're pretty" he says and after I'm done I hug him. "I love you sooo much Aiden" I spin him around while he giggles. "I love you too" he says and I put him down. "Okay you go watch tv, I'm gonna see if both your aunties are done getting ready" I say and he runs to towards the couch. I walk into my room to see ally sitting on my bed. "What are you doing?" I ask her and she points at Cari who is talking nonsense. "Babe you look beautiful" I say because she's wearing black jeans and a tank top with laces by her chest area. "Thank you. Okay I'm done" she says and keeps her hair down. "Come on bud" I hold out my hand to help ally up and now she's not letting go of my hand. "See now everyone will know we're best friends" ally says and we both laugh. "Or maybe that we're dating" I say and she still doesn't let go. "Can I hold your hand too?" Cari asks and I nod. "You can always hold my hand" I say and interlock our fingers. "Now I look like I've got game" I say and they both let go of my hand. "Never mind" I add and Cari comes back to me. "Okay we need to go" Cari says and holds my hand again. "Lets go guys!" I yell and we all make our way out of the house and into our cars.
