5 a.m.
I decided that I should just stay.  Tae thought it was best that I do. I went to change the flight so he could fly out on the next flight. Next flight was at 2 p.m. After I changed it I went back to sleep .

9 a.m.
I woke up and Tae was gone again. I went to the bathroom; he was in there taking a shower. After I brushed my teeth I joined him. (This is going to be the last time I see him until we go back to school) . After we got dressed and met everyone down stairs to get breakfast. Tae told everyone what was going on and that he wanted Bryan to finish up any bussiness they had and FaceTime him. They had no more gigs. We finished around 10:30 soon we had to head out to the airport. Me and Tae took our last walk around Hollywood Boulevard Strip.
" I really hate letting you go by yourself.  Make sure you tell Darrion that I hope he has a speedy recovery and he is in my prayers".
"I will and don't worry he should be okay . Its already Friday so I'll see you Tuesday".

We went into different stores and took lots of pictures (even hired a professional).  This really was our first time really hanging out in L.A. together  alone. Different celebrities was out and about.
"Since we are out here do you want to go get matching tattoos?"

Tae always told me that he wanted to get R.I.P Jia because he know how much my cousin meant to me.  He never met her but they talked on the phone numerous times before.

"Okay , let's go "( I was 18 already and before then my mom didnt mind if that was my only tattoo I got ).

Tattoo shop looked amazing . Displayed lots of its work.
"How can I help you two today?" We would like to get matching tattoos. "I should've guess. Couples come in here all the time and lots come in wanted to get it covered up cause it was a mistake ".
We just laughed. Female came out the back. I wanted her to do mines.
"So what would you guys like ?"

"R.I.P Jia" with a heart I said. I didnt know how Tae was getting his. He decided to put a little heart also. His was pretty small. After she started drawing I said I will just add the date under it. 11/21/00- 3/19/16. "If you don't mind me asking what happened?" "She was shot and killed by her boyfriend. He said he didn't know the gun was loaded". Wow that's sad  she couldn't even make it to 16. I'm very happy you want me to do this tattoo for you. Your remembrance of her. I was so scared to get  it but after she started it didn't even hurt that bad so I decided on my upper right  back get "You're wings was ready,  but my heart was not" - Jia 3/19/16 with a feather and birds.

My tattoo came out amazing. I was very pleased. I took pictures and sent to my Aunties,  Cousins and my Mom. Tae also got his grandpa and aunt that passed. As soon as we were done. Tae had to head to the airport. Airport was busy as usual. Celebrities were even there boarding planes or just waiting for their flight and leaving  the airport. " Flight to Tampa,Fl boarding in 10 minutes Gate B " came on the intercom. 
" I really don't know why this feels like we are saying good bye ". Its not , trust me Vanessa you are coming back. I love you and have fun I'll text you when I get on then Face time you when I land. Love you ( a long kiss and hug). I let him go.  As going he turned around a blew a kiss . I caught it, laughing.
