"Hey." I greet her as I enter the car. "Hey, you good?!" She asks. I nod. We drive in comfortable silence. She stops at a small mall and gets some stuff for the picnic. How long by Charlie Puth is playing.

BEEP!! A message from Amber. She sent it in the group.
A: we have arrived at the garden.
Jay: You guys are late.
D: We know, we know, we know ^_^
R: We'll be there soon.
The garden is five minutes away. Dee finds a spot to park. We take the goods and walk to where Jay and Amber are sitting. We greet each other and we hug. I am going to miss these guys. We sit down and start to eat and chat. "So Rav, what do you think?" Amber asks. "Rav!!" Dee snaps her finger in front of me. "Yeah." I respond. They laugh. "Where's your mind at?" Jay asks. "Guys I need to tell you something important." I start.
"... My parents, Mel and Kay and I are moving to Clifton View and"- "What?!" Amber cuts my sentence. She gets some looks from people around us. "What?!" She whisper shout. I know that its not just Amber that is angry but Dee and Jay are also hurting. "Guys, I'm sorry. Everything happened so fast. That's why I organised this day out." I try to reason with them. Amber and Dee are in tears. Jay on the other hand is frustrated, angry and sad.
He has mixed emotions. I'm also in tears. "You know we love you right?" Amber asks. She'd do anything for me. "Yes I know that and I love you guys too." I respond honestly. Dee and Amber have calmed down but Jay hasn't. I'm worried about him. "We need to cool Jay down." Dee says as she packs the stuff away. Amber comforts him as Dee and I put the things in her car.
"Can we go to the beach?" Jay asks. We go to the beach whenever Jay wants to clear his head and when he's stressed. Just like now. We drive to the beach. He seems to relax a bit as we reach the beach. He then asks "What about us?" I've been waiting for that question. I don't know what to say but I'll have yo think of something. "We'll message each other." Dee says. "Great idea. We could also Skype once in a while." Amber adds.

"I'll give you time to say your goodbyes to your friends." Mom says to me. She turns and face them. "Bye you guys." A tear escapes from mine and Amber's eyes. Kay and Mel come out from the car and they hug my friends. Kay and Amber have always been close. Mel hasn't spent a lot of time with my friends.
'If your lips are movin'
'If your lips are movin'
Then you lie lie lie baby'
My phone rings and its Nikita. "I'll be right back." I say to the group.
Me: Hey Nikita
Niki: Hey. I heard that you guys are moving today.
Me: Yep! It is what it is.
Niki: How did your friends feel Wie you told them that you were moving?!
Me: They don't want ne to go, neither do I but to I have a choice? No!
Niki: I understand you. I just wanted to know how you feel about all of this.
Me: Its chilled. I have to go, bye.
Niki: Bye. I love you!
Me: I love you too!
I hang up. Niki is my sister, she's the oldest. She works in England as a doctor, last time I checked. She called us earlier in the year to say that she wanted to study to become a chef.
I make my way to my friends. Kay and Mel are in the car already. "I'll miss you guys." I say as I reach them. "This isn't goodbye." Amber says. "It's an 'I'll see you again'." Dee adds. Jay nods and smiles. "Take care of yourself." He says. "I will..." I say smiling. "...take care of these girls for me please and take care of yourself." I finish. He nods and we hug, a group hug
"See you soon guys!" I make my way to the car. I open the door, as I'm about to get in Jay grabs my arm and kisses me. "I love you." He whispers. I'm taken off guard but for some reason I want to kiss back. And I do just that. I kiss him. "I'll miss you." I whisper in his ear. I wave goodbye to Dee and Amber. "Bye Jay." With that said I enter the car and Dad starts the engine and drives off. " Someone's in a good mood." Mom teases. I just giggle not knowing what to say.
====
"Raven!" Mel scream. "What! Are we being robbed?!" I was already in a stance saying ' I'm ready to fight'. Mom and dad laugh while Kay and Mel giggle. "No dummy we at the hotel." Kay says. "Okay bi-... um okay Kay." I almost said bitvh to Kay in front of mom and dad. Oh.Me.Gosh. I want going to get it tonight. We exit the car and take out some of our luggage. This is a nice hotel.
We enter the hotel and there is this huge brown table with a lady sitting behind it. "Good evening Mam." The lady says with a smile as we reach her table. I think she's the receptionist. Mom greats back. "We the Brown family." She informs the lady. She bids and looks at her computer for two minutes and then she hands us keys for our room. "Room number 407. Take the lift to the 10th floor. Once you there walk straight and on your right you'll see your room. Its near the end of the passage." She informs us.
"Thanks." Mom says tiredly. I'm sure she's tired this has been a long trio and we haven't even arrived at the place. We walk to the lift. We arrive at the tenth floor and do exactly what the Lady told us. We see room 405 and then 406 and then finally room 407. We are currently standing in front our room waiting for mom to unlock the door. She unlocks it and we enter. The room is small but its big enough for all of us to be in there. It has a living room which leads to the kitchen.
"There are three bedrooms, Kay and Mel you guys share, dad and I will share and Raven dear you on your own. "Mom informs us. I head to my room, its nice and it has an amazing view. It is painted in blue, it has a king sized bed, closet (it isn't a walk in closet but I can work with it). I connect my phone and out it in the night stand as it charges.
I sit on the bed and think about the kiss that Jay gave ne and the one that I had given him. But why did I kiss him? I only see him as a friend and a brother, nothing else.
'If your lips are movin'
If your lips are movin'
Then you lie lie lie baby'
My phone rings and its a call from Jay.
Jay: Hey, hope I'm not disturbing you.
Me: Not at all. I was just thinking about the kiss.
Jay: what about it?!
I could hear him smirk over the phone.
Me: Why did I kiss you?! Why did you kiss me when we are just friends?!
Jay: Because I love you.
Me: I love you too Jay, but-
Jay: I knew it. I thought I was going crazy.
Me: You are not going crazy Jay. I love you but only as a friend and I see you as my brother not my boyfriend. And that could ruin our friendship.
The line goes quiet for a while.
Jay: I thought that you and I were in the same page.
Me: We are best friends Jay, and I don't want to ruin that.
Jay: Okay Raven. Bye. Goodnight and sleep tight.
Me: Thanks, good night to you to and sleep tight.
I end the call and put my phone in the night stand and I let sleep take over.
