We woke up at 6:30 the next morning to help the boys finish packing before they had to leave at 8. We were all very clingy towards our guys...we were definitely going to miss them. It only took about half an hour to pack so afterwards we just chilled in the living room watching netflix.
Once 8 rolled around we were hesitant to let the guys leave. It was going to be very hard without them here, and definitely hard to get used to. We each drove in separate cars so it was Ethan and I, Garyson and Tif, Lori and Cam, and aaron and Kait. As Ethan and I veered off onto the main road to me the tour crew at a vacant parking lot, I held the steering wheel with one hand, and his with the other. As i thought about not having him by my side i started to tear up. Once that happened, my anxiety decided to sneak up and think of everything that could go wrong, that's when i started to cry.
“Hey, don't cry..ill be back soon it'll all be okay. I promise. Remember?” he said as he wiped my tears and pointed to my promise ring. He was so sweet, i wouldn't want anybody else for me to call mine, he is my everything. We pulled into the parking lot and all of us hesitated to get out of our cars. We didn't want them to leave but we know it's best for their careers and want nothing more but happiness for them. In sync, we all stepped out of our vehicles, walked around the fronts of them and hugged our guys, i know for sure i'm going to miss E’s hugs. We all said goodbye as they boys stepped on the bus, soon to see it pulling away.
As the boys pulled away, i immediately texted Ethan, as a matter of fact...we all messaged our boyfriends. We couldn't go longer than 2 minutes without talking them when they were gone. Once we got home we started playing board games to get our minds off of them being gone, when soon it hit that it wasn't the same without the boys. We soon stopped and decided to facetime them. I used my phone to facetime Ethan and everyone gathered around our phones so we weren't all on separate ones. After it turned 9 PM, we were all pretty tired, but before i let them go to sleep Ethan said “everyone look up and smile!” we all looked up as he screenshotted the moment as i did the same. After that we played a couple rounds of truth or dare and never have i ever with the boys...even though they werent here we still had a blast. After that we just talked about anything and soon fell asleep on facetime together, and when i woke up a couple hours later, they guys were all asleep on the bus floor in a row with a sign saying, “We love you guys❤”
I screenshotted the sleepy boys and went on instagram to post it, after i added a filter and did some adjustments i set the caption, “This is why i love my boys💕” i tagged everyone and hit post. After it posted i scrolled threw feeds for about 10 minutes and came across ethan and aaron's posts, it was the screenshots earlier from when we were facetiming. I was in love with the picture and their captions melted my heart, Ethan posted,” Even hundreds of miles away we still rock a selfie with our girls❤” then Aaron posted “All us guys just facetiming our wonderful girls💕” i liked and saved the pics as i slowly drifted to sleep hoping that nothing will ever change.
