Jc wasn't lying. The end of the school year rolled around and here I was, helping him pack up his room.
"This sucks." I said for the billionth time.
"i know princess, but it needs to be done." he sighed, folding more shirts into duffle bags.
Our2ndLife had blown up, of course, and the boys decided they were all moving to LA. I wasn't just losing Jc, I was losing Sam and Kian too. Andrea was already a hot mess and it was only going to get worse over the next day..
"I wish you could come with me." Jc sighed.
"If you had told me this was going to happen, I would've just stayed. I promised my parents I'd stay at least until the end of the summer." I pouted. I wanted nothing more than to go with him, to be with him, to live with him.
"We'll make the most of it, I'll fly back and forth, we'll make it work." He tried smiling. I could see the pain in his eyes. It was the same pain he had shown the night he told me.
The trees surrounded us that night, wind whipping at our tear streaked faces, it had been horrible.
"As soon as we're finished up here, can we go grab something to eat?" I whined, I had been starving for hours.
"Let's just go now." Jc grabbed his pocket, searching for the jingle of his keys. "What do you want?"
"Whataburger?" I clapped my hands together pleadingly.
"Fat ass." He chuckled.
"Justin!" I snapped. "Words hurt."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He sighed.
"You owe this fat ass a lot of food now." I huffed.
"As she pleases." He grinned.
Thankfully the drive to Whataburger was fairly short, my tummy needed food pronto.
"Holy shit you're Jc Caylen!" The girl behind the counter yelped. Of course.
I watched as Jc chuckled, embarrassed at the outburst.
"I'm serving the Justin Cloud Caylen, how crazy!" Somebody was excited.
"Baby what do you want?" He turned to me. The girl finally realized I was standing next to him. Her posture changed, most of his fans didn't like me, obviously she's one of them. Jc gave me an apologetic look before speaking up. "Can we get a number 2, with cheese, no pickles, onions or tomatoes. And then a number, what's the one with the 9 bites? That one, with extra gravy. A large chocolate and a large vanilla milkshake, and an extra large fry."
The fangirl typed everything in as quickly as she could, stealing glances at Jc every chance she got.
"Here's your number, I'll have that right out." She cooed. A for effort.
I led Jc to an empty booth away from the crowd, holding in a laugh. "Somebody's got the hots for you."
"It's weird, like that's only going to get worse." He chuckled.
"You're mine though, so they can fuck off." I snapped.
"Down killer." He teased. Just as he started leaning in for a kiss, a rough cough caught our attention.
"Here's your order." Register girl plopped our tray down. Just for my own satisfaction, I pulled Jc in for the kiss. Hearing the girl gasp only made me want to kiss him harder.
"Baby." He pulled away. "Save it for later."
"You're no fun." I gave him a wink.
"Enjoy your meal." The girl finally walked away,obviously fuming.
"Dig in princess." Jc laughed.
"God aren't you going to miss Whataburger?" i scrunched my nose, biting into my burger.
"Not as much as I'm going to miss you." His grin drooped a little.
"It's only temporary." I tried sounding reassuring, but we both knew this undeniable truth was eating away at our hearts already..
"I have one more full day with you. I'm miserable already." He sighed, dropping his chicken bite into the gravy where it sunk.
"I hate thinking about this." I whined through a mouthful of food. "But here we are, talking about it."
"I don't know what I'm going to do without you." He laughed.
"You'll be fine, you'll have the boys. California is a great place to be." I shrugged.
"The best place to be is wherever you are." He smirked.
"I'll be in your arms tonight, and in your heart every night after." I tried smiling. Faking it was getting harder by the minute.
How am I even keeping myself together?

Well guys, Secrets is coming to an end. I had decided this was going to be the last chapter, but as I was writing, I realized I'd like it better with the two sections I wanted to write separate, so as sad as it is, the next chapter will be the last.
love y'all.
