Staying Strong

2. The Final Goodbye

Baylee POV

I walked around to Caleb’s to say goodbye and I walked straight in like I usually did. I heard a noise and listened carefully; the sounds were moaning and groaning. As I walked upstairs the sounds got louder. I opened Caleb’s door and teared up at the sight in front of me.

There was Caleb banging the schools slut, Honesty Gold. “Caleb……?” I whispered heartbroken. “Baylee it’s not what it looks like!” he yelled after me as I ran down and out of his house.

I sprinted home and up to my room I cried and cried. I put my ‘sad heartbroken” song on.

 It was Little Mix’s ‘Boy’

Do you remember what he said?

I do,

He told you,

He’d never ever hurt you,

Oh,

Here we go again,

Another,

Break up,

Make up,

When you gonna wake up,

I’m gon’be the one to call him out,

Look how many times he let you down,

When’s he gonna learn to be a real man,

I’ll be the one to say you’re beautiful,

One more word he never said it all,

I’m just saying you need to go,

Forget that boy, forget that boy,

We know that boy ain’t good enough for you,

You’re holding back tears in your eyes,

That boy wanna fight,

But I never see him fighting for you,

He’ll never realize what he’s got until it’s gone,

And he’ll lose you forever,

Girl you’ll be alright,

Forget that boy,

Girl don’t you know you set the tone,

I’ll make you stop that,

Fight back,

He won’t get a get away with that,

Look who’s ringing up your phone….

And just like that,

BEEPBEEPBEEP!! I sighed looking over at my phone seeing I had seven missed calls from Caleb and thirty-two texts from him as well as Two texts from Luke and one from Kira and three missed calls from Scott and 4 texts.    

I read a couple of Caleb’s first

Sender: Caleb

Plz answer me

Sender: Caleb

I’m sorry

Sender: Caleb

It’s not what it looks like

Sender: Caleb

Love you

I ignored them and deleted them, and then I read Luke’s

Sender: Luke

Hey Little B we’re leaving at 4

Sender: Luke

How come I wasn’t invited to party last night with u and K – Still love ya even if I wasn’t invited

I replied

To: Luke

Okay 4 it is and don’t blame me ask K – Haha Love ya

I read Kira’s next

Sender: Kira

Awesome Party last night had a blast c u tomoz

Deciding not to reply to Kira, I moved on to Scott’s

Sender: Scott

Hey Bee can I come in your car for the trip to U.S

Sender: Scott

I’m hurt don’t I get 2 party with u and Kira

Sender: Scott

Can I come over at 2?

Sender: Scott

Not waiting for answer coming now – Love ya Bee

Its 1:45 right know fifteen minutes til Scott comes over. I quickly send a reply

To: Scott

Sure, and yep feel free to invite yourself over – Love you Skittles

Your probably wondering about the skittles part well it’s easy when I first met Scott he was tossing and turning between a purple skittle and a green skittle, I called him skittles and the name stuck k?

DING DONG!!!

“I’m getting it” I yelled before Luke could get it. Yes I live with Luke because he’s Alpha of the rouges and my ‘brother’

“SKITTLES!!!”

“BUMBLE BEE!!!”

I laugh as I let him inside. He ran in and jumped on me squishing me in a bear hug.

“Can’t Breathe Skittles”

He let go before beaming and running off yelling, “Lukey come give Scottie a big hug!”

I rolled my eyes at his childish behaviour. He was 20 and Luke’s best friend and mate, while Luke was 21.Yes, Luke and Scott are gay and are together.

I ran after him just in time to see him jump and tackle luke to the ground hugging him and trying to sloppily kiss him on the cheek. They always acted like this, mucking around and acting like two year olds.

But they were my family and I loved them.

I kept thinking these are my last 2 hours in Australia.
