Becca's POV:
It's been a month or so since Rocky and Karey came back. Rocky has now gone back to California. Karey is getting ready to head back later today. It was hard on me watching two of the most important people in my life go across the country.
"I wish you could come with me." Karey said, packing her last few items in her suit case. I sighed. "So do I, but mom and dad aren't going to be home for another week or two and I can't leave Zac in charge of the bowling alley. That would extremely irresponsible. No telling how wrecked that place would be after a few hours." I laughed. "Well, that's true. Zac wouldn't be a very manager." Karey laughed.
I heard a car door slam and went to see who it was. It was a yellow taxi and I just assumed Karey had called one so that I didn't have to take her to the airport. "Hey, your taxi is here." I said. "You got me a taxi? Wow. I thought you would at least drop me off at the terminal." Karey said, sounding a little angry. "What? No. I thought you got a taxi." I said questioningly. Karey shook her head no and then I heard the front door open and close. "Honey, we're home early!" I heard my parents call. I ran and hugged them tightly. "Hey! I've missed you guys so much!" I said. "We missed you, too, Honey. Now go pack. You're going to California with Karey." Mom said. A smile spread across my face. "What?" I asked confused. "Rocky sent us help to finish our project early so you can go with Karey. I think he has something special planned." Dad said. I just smiled and ran to my room.
Karey helped me pack, which consisted of just throwing random clothes from my drawers and closet into my suit case. I threw shoes onto my bed for her to put in my bag. I rushed to my bathroom and packed my toiletry bag, including my straightener, curling iron, brush, and makeup. I walked back into my room and grabbed a blanket and my pillow for the flight. I loaded everything up in the taxi and hugged my parents goodbye. Karey and I got into the taxi and the driver took us to the airport.
Right before boarding the plane, I sent Rocky a quick text. "Hey, love. I'm about to board the plane. Thank you for getting all of this set up. I'll see you soon! I love you, goober." After seeing that it was delivered, I turned my phone off and boarded the plane with Karey by my side. I slept the entire flight.
We landed and Karey shook me awake. "Hey, you ready to go explore Cali?" she asked with a mischievous smile. I smiled and got off of the plane. We headed to baggage claim to grab our bags. Our luggage was no where to be found though. Everyone on our flight had already gotten their bags and left already. The conveyor belt was completely empty. I turned my phone on to call mom and dad and ask what to do. As soon as I cut my phone on, I had a picture message from Rocky. It was a picture of our luggage that said "Come find us! (; Love you, Becca!" I showed Karey and we both walked out of the airport. We walked into the parking lot of LAX looking for our boyfriends. My phone vibrated. "Getting colder." Rocky said. I showed Karey and then typed back "Give us a hint, dork. We're tired!" I had just clicked send when I got another picture text from him. It was a picture of a darkish alley way. We could barely make out a sign that said R5, indicating the floor of the parking deck they were in. "They're in the parking deck. Not the parking lot. So, something tells me they've been here a while waiting for us." I told Karey. We started walking towards the parking deck and took the elevator up to floor 5. We then walked to section R. We saw the stair entrance and walked over. The lights quickly shut off and Karey and I both screamed. I felt arms wrap around my waist and lips on my neck. "Hey, beautiful." I heard my boyfriend whisper as he continued to kiss my neck. I turned around to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Hello there!" I whispered back. I felt his grip tighten on my waist as he pulled me closer and kissed my lips softly. The lights came back on and I saw Karey and Ross standing next to the light switch looking at us. I waved and giggled a little before burying my head in Rocky's chest.
"Alright, come on. Let's go home." Rocky said. I nodded and followed Rocky to the car. I climbed into the back seat with my stuff in my arms and sat down. Karey sat in the passenger seat while Ross drove and Rocky sat in the back seat with me. I didn't talk much on the way to the Lynch house. I know I shouldn't be nervous because I spent 3 weeks on a tour bus with them, but it's totally different being at their house. Ross pulled into a driveway that I'm guessing was theirs. Rocky got out and started grabbing my suit case and helped me out of the car.
"Here we are! Come on, babe." Rocky said. I froze on my spot in the driveway and just stared at the house. Rocky sat my stuff down and walked back to me. "Are you okay, Becca?" he asked concerned. I shook my head and looked down at the ground. "Hey, babe, what's wrong? You've met the family before." he said, cupping my face in his hands and making me look up at him. "I don't know. I guess I'm just worried about seeing them after everything that has happened." I whispered. "Babe, I'm the one that cheated on you, okay? They aren't going to mad at you for my idiotic move. Promise." he said. I nodded and slowly followed him to the front door. As soon as I walked in, Rydel, Stormie, and the boys wrapped me in a group hug. "Becca! I've missed you so much!" Rydel yelled. I smiled and hugged her. "Hey, little cousin." I heard Lily said. I looked up, shocked. "Lily? I thought..." I started. "You thought I was back in Atlanta, didn't you?" she asked. "Well, yeah. I mean, I just saw you like last week." I said. Lily smiled. "Surprise!" she laughed.
After talking to everyone, I followed Rocky upstairs to his room and put my stuff down. I went to the bathroom and changed into a pair of leggings and an oversized t-shirt. I washed my makeup off and went back to Rocky's room. He had gone back downstairs, but I was tired so I laid down in his bed and fel asleep.
