Welcome back! c:

This chapter was kind of rushed because I forgot to write it all beforehand! Oops xD So I wrote most of this chapter today. This is mostly a filler chapter, but it's building up to the next two or three (which I'm really excited to write!).

BEE’S POV

We were doing the impossible. Bit by bit, we were putting our group back together, just like Jordan had promised. 

Except for one key piece to the puzzle.

Graser. We still would never be the same without him, I knew. But absolutely no one had heard from him since before the argument; not fans, not any of us. And he never responded to our attempts to contact him. There wasn’t much we could do about it except keep trying.

I tucked my last shirt into my suitcase and glanced at the time. It was nearly one in the morning, Australian time; I needed to be up at six to catch my flight to Florida. I sighed and fell into bed, lost in my thoughts for a while, before sleep finally grasped me.

 ~ MAGICAL TIME SKIP :D ~

I stepped off the plane, yawning tiredly. It’d been a long flight, and I was exhausted from being up so early. I pulled out my phone and texted Jordan: “Just landed in Florida. Be at the hotel soon! c:” with a smile on my own face as I sent it. He responded quickly with an “Okay ;)”.

I took in the Florida scenery as the cab drove. The palm trees were beautiful, and the weather was much nicer than it was in Australia. A warm breeze played against my skin as I paid the driver and stepped into the lobby of our hotel.

After grabbing my room key, I texted Jordan again: “What room are you in? I just got here”. “207” he responded. At that, I headed towards the elevator and pressed the two button. Good, I thought. I’m in 205. 

A few short seconds later, I was at the door of 207. I hesitated, scolded myself silently, and knocked gently on the door.

A boy opened it. It wasn’t Jordan, but thankfully it was a face I recognized.

“Grape!” I squealed, giving him an enthusiastic hug. 

He laughed and hugged me back. He was about five inches taller than me and looked the same as he did in his facecam. He wore a t-shirt with a grapple on it. “Hey there, Bee! Bayani didn’t tell us you were here!”

“That’s because she just got here, Sean!” called a familiar voice from further inside, and then Jordan appeared behind Grape. He was even cuter in person: his hair was combed lazily and he was wearing a short-sleeved version of his striped sweater. His brown eyes spoke volumes when they landed on me.

I immediately flew into his arms. He wrapped them around me and held me close, and we sat like that for a moment, breathing in each other, having something real to cling to instead of just some pixels on a screen. It felt so good.

At last, he let go and just stared at me with a goofy smile on his face. “Oh god, it’s so good to finally be able to hug my girlfriend.”

I laughed and kissed him: just a short, sweet little kiss on the cheek. “It’s good to see you too, Jordan.”

“Is that Bee I hear?” came a shout from a few rooms away, and Tomahawk emerged through the doorway. 

“Hi, Tomahawk!” I countered with a shy smile. 

He nodded at me and turned to Grape. “Are the others here yet?”

Grape pulled out his phone. “TYBZI, H, and Jon are almost here. No word from Graser or Dul.” He looked slightly dejected. “It’s something, I guess. Are you okay with being alone in a room, Bee?”

“If not, you can have my bed and I’ll take the couch,” Jordan added quickly.

“I’ll be fine, but that’s sweet of you, Jordan,” I replied gratefully.

Grape’s phone vibrated in his hand and he glanced down at it. “They’re at Disneyworld and want us to come. You guys up for it?”

I wavered on indecision, but Jordan nudged me. “Come on, Bee. Let’s have fun while we’re here. We can worry about Graser and Dul later.” He gently took my hand and squeezed it.

That did it for me. I nodded. “Lead the way.”

As we hailed a taxi, I glanced around at the beautiful scenery and smiled. I already knew this was going to be an experience to remember.

Yep. Mostly just a filler chapter, but there should be lots of excitement to come as this story begins to come to a close! ;D

Vote and comment for more! Until next chapter!
