Rydel's POV

Today is the big day. The day Ellington and I will finally get to be together! I'm at the doctor's, waiting to get my cast off now, and tonight, I will be on the highway with Ellington. I squirm in my chair with excitement as I count the minutes until Ellington and I will begin our beautiful lives together.

"Are you nervous, baby?" Taylor asks as he looks down at me. We've been "dating" for about three weeks, and I've been able to convince my family that I've moved on from Ellington, but they're still a little suspicious.

"Um, no," I breath with excitement.

"Are you sure? Because you're holding my hand pretty tight," he points out. I let go of his hand and squeeze my own while waiting for the doctor.

"Good afternoon, Miss Lynch. Are you ready to get your cast off?" The doctor asks. I nod rapidly in excitement as he prepares to take it off. I squeeze my eyes shut as a ticklish sensation comes over my ankle. I squirm in my chair and look up at a smiling Taylor until my cast is off. Taylor helps me up and I take a few wobbly steps before getting the hang of walking. He escorts me back to the car and buckles himself in. I need to get packing! Ellington is coming at eleven thirty, so I have to be ready by then. Gosh, I have a lot to do before we leave.

"Where would you like to go to lunch?" Taylor asks, breaking me out of my thought.

"Oh, um I'm kind of tired, so can you just take me home?" I ask quietly.

"Sure," Taylor sighs sadly. The drive home is painfully long and awkwardly silent. When we get home, I make sure Taylor stays in the car and I walk in alone. I say a quick hello to my parents and brothers before heading upstairs to pack. I grab a large suitcase and stuff everything I can fit into it. I also pack a few hundred dollars cash, and my blankies. I shove the suitcase under my bed before heading downstairs to spend my last few hours with my family. It pains me to have to leave them, but I'll be with Ellington and I'll be able to watch their accomplishments from Wisconsin.

"Hey guys," I smile casually as I walk down the stairs.

"Hi Delly. Dinner is going to be ready in an hour," Riker states.

"Cool," I sigh, sitting on the couch next to Ross and Ryland. The room is silent for a few moments, until I feel the urge to say something.

"I love you all so much!" I blurt out. After that, I can't control my emotions anymore. I burst into tears and fall into Ryland's arms seconds later. I hear various 'aws' and 'what's going ons' from around the room as all of my siblings and parents try to comfort me. I'm so tempted to tell them about Ell and my plans to run away, but something keeps me from doing that. Instead I try to pull myself together long enough to eat dinner. I do so while my parents set the table.

"Do you really love us that much?" Ryland asks as we walk into the kitchen. I nod as I sit down in my chair. Dinner goes by painfully quickly and I give each one of my brothers a hug as they go up to their rooms. I hug my parents and head up to my room, knowing I won't be seeing them for a long time.

Now, time won't go by fast enough! Excitement boils inside of me for starting my new life with Ellington. After what feels like an eternity of waiting, eleven twenty arrives. Only ten more minutes! Just then, I hear a soft knock on my door.

"Delly? Are you awake?" a voice whispers.

"Yes," I whisper back in panic. Ryland flips the lights on and walks into my room.

"Hey," he smiles.

"Hi Ryland," I smile back.

"Are you ok? You've been acting kind of weird," Ryland states.

"I'm fine. I just needed a few extra hugs, that's all," I sigh.

"Ok then. Goodnight," he whispers as he tries to leave. Before he can leave, I embrace him in a tight hug.

"I love you, Ry Ry," I whisper.

"I love you too, Delly," he whispers back. He heads back to his room and eleven thirty finally arrives, bringing a text from Ellington.

ELLINGTON

I'm outside babe 😘

RYDEL

I'll be down in a moment. Love you xoxo 😍💗💗

I quietly grab my heavy suitcase as open my door before peeking around the hallway. No one seems to be here. I quietly haul my suitcase down the stairs and open the front door, to reveal a shirtless Ellington in his pajamas.

"Baby!" I whisper loudly as I press my lips onto his. His arms wrap around me and the kiss begins to heat up. I pull away before it gets too hot and Ellington takes my suitcase. He brings it to the car while I enjoy the last few moments in my home.

"Ready to go?" Ellington whispers in my ear as he wraps his arms around me from the back.

"Can I have a minute?" I whisper.

"Take all of the time you need, babe," he whispers back. I take a deep breath, admiring the place I spent the past seven years living in. As Ellington's lips graze my neck, I close my eyes and take in the sounds of the wind, the creaky wooden floor, and the feel of Ell's soft lips on my neck.

"I'm ready," I whisper confidently.

"Ok baby. Let's go," he whispers before softly kissing my lips. I deepen the kiss, moving my lips against Ellington's and caressing his face. Ell picks me up and carries me outside and holds me against the wall, all while keeping our lips moving in perfect sync.

"What are you doing?" A voice exclaims. Ell and I quickly pull apart to see a shocked Ryland standing beside us.
