Amazing things (Ryland Lynch love story)

Chapter 25

Kameryn's POV~

We all looked around at each other with sad expressions. Ryland intertwined his hand with mine and pulled me to my feet. They all trudged to their rooms to get their bags that they packed yesterday.

As we were about to leave, I looked around and mentally said goodbye to where we've been living the past 3 months. We checked out in the lobby and made our way to the parking lot. Memories of running around this hotel, the game we played where Ry and I paired up and had to find Rocky, all the times we went to the pool, eating breakfast down in the cafe, riding in the carts that hold your luggage with Ratliff and Rocky the first week I was here, there are so many memories here. I really hope that every time they come to visit, they stay in this hotel, this place became like a second home because of how long we stayed.

We all piled into the cars, I was between Ryland and Ross, Kaitlyn being on the other side of Ross. I had my shoulder on Ryland's head, and he was holding my hand, rubbing soft circles with his thumb.

There was light music playing, but no one was singing along this time.

Once we reached the airport we helped them carry their bags and we reached their gate. We still had about 30 minutes till the plane boarded, but we decided to start saying our goodbyes now because we knew it would take a while.

First a hugged the life out of Riker. He had tears brimming his eyes, I was probably the closest to Riker, asides from Ryland. He was like a brother to me. "You better text me all the time little sister", he mumbled into my hair. I nodded and said, "I will big brother." He really was the brother I always wanted. I moved onto Ross. He hugged me and said, "I'm gonna miss you much." I looked up at him and mumbled "I'm gonna miss you too Rossy Jersey Shor", he let out a slight laugh at my name I just came up with for him. I moved down the line and next was Rydel. She let out a sob and tackled me in a hug. She sniffled and said, "I'm going to miss you more than you know, you became like the little sister I've always wanted." I let a couple tears fall and looked up at her. "You know Rydel, before I met you, you were my biggest role model. You'd think that once we became friends that would have changed. But it didn't, not at all." She smiled slightly and hugged me once more.

The next person for me to say goodbye to was Rocky. He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed so hard, I thought I might loose consciousness. "I'm gonna miss your home made Mac and cheese", he mumbled. I stifled a laugh and looked up at him. "I'm gonna miss torturing you with that red head." He made a face, and laughed slightly. "I think I might actually miss that too kiddo", he said, ruffling my hair. I smiled and moved on to Kelly. She already had tears streaming down her face as I wrapped her in a huge hug. "I don't know what I'm going to do without you", she muttered. "You've become like a sister to me", she choked out the words and put her hand over her mouth to keep from letting a sob escape. Ratliff was standing next to her and put a hand in her shoulder. I looked at Kelly and said, "I'm gonna miss you too girl, do amazing in college, I'll definitely be buying your artwork. She smiled weakly as I moved on to Ratliff, who already had tears in his eyes. I wrapped my arms around him and said, "I'm gonna miss you mustache buddy." He hugged me tighter and said, "I'm gonna miss you more mustache buddy, and I'm really going to miss your leprechaun waffles." I laughed slightly and removed myself from the hug and looked up at Stormie and Mark.

I hugged Stormie first and said, "thank you for being like a second mom to me, you always have me advise and hugs whenever I needed it. You're an amazing mom, and I love that you treated me like one of your own." She looked at me, crying, and said, "as far as I'm concerned, you pretty much are one of my own." I smiled and gave her one last squeeze in my hug. I turned to Mark and we did our secret handshake he taught me. I looked up at him and said, "thank you for being the dad I always needed in my life." He smiled and said, "I'll always be here for you sweetheart." I smiled and gave him a huge hug. He really is the closest thing I ever had to a father figure.
