Saying goodbye got harder each time, I began to realize that. The hotel was fully packed and we were done swimming and hanging out with everybody. We all decided to go out for dinner, since it was our last day. Hayden and I walked down the street to the restaurant together. Mommy, daddy, hayley and Hayden's dad all walked in front of us. So did Jaydn, and Jojo and Marcus and Martinus. I breathed in the smell of L.A. and looked at Hayden and smiled. This is where I wanted to be.
"I'm really gonna miss you." Hayden half smiled and grabbed my hand.
"Yeah? Me too. A lot." I smiled and squeezed his hand.
"I feel like we'll be seeing each other really soon." He smirked and had a weird tone. As if, he was sure of it. I just smiled and raised an eyebrow. Oh Hayden, always kept me guessing and on my toes. We got into the restaurant and Hayden pulled my chair out for me. Mommy smiled and winked at me. I smiled back. We all ordered our food and devoured it. We talked for about an hour and decided it was time to head to the airport. Mommy let me ride with Hayden to the airport so that way we could say our goodbyes privately. Hayden's dad drove us and we sat in the back. They had a thing that disconnected the front seat and the back seat, like a limo. So we closed it so Hayden's dad couldn't hear our conversation. Hayden kissed me. And I kissed him back.
"I'm really sad. And I have no idea why I'm laughing." Hayden said as he started to giggle. I couldn't help but laugh too.
"Me too. We can FaceTime." I smiled. And then burst into laughter. Hayden didn't seem as sad as he lead out to be. It kind of confused me. We arrived to the airport and he got my bags down for me and we met mommy and Hayley and daddy. Hayden and his dad sat with us until it was time to board our plane. As you could see, we really didn't wanna leave each other. Hayden's dad was becoming daddy's best friend. Mommy and Hayley went to get drinks and I sat with Hayden. We took selfies and videos and made musicallys. We played games and talked. We were given the five minute warning that it was almost time to board the plane. This time we said our for real goodbyes. We hugged each other and were saying goodbye. It was my turn to hug Hayden. We knew we couldn't kiss in front of our families so I hugged him one last time and breathed his scent in, one last time. I didn't want this to be goodbye. Who knows when we'll see each other again. I looked up at him and smiled. "Goodbye." I grabbed my bags and catched up with my family. I looked back and Hayden was half smiling. I left a piece of my heart. As soon as I got on the plane, he texted me.
"I miss you already. I love you. See you soon." See me soon? That confused me. But replied and focused on the I love you part. I loved Hayden. I really did. And I knew he really loved me too. I cuddled up to my blankey on the plane and looked out the window. I flipped my phone over and stared at the Polaroid of Hayden and I. I smiled and closed my eyes.
