"Just stop" I say annoyed. "Kayla I think you hanging out with them is a bad idea" my dad says for probably the 100th time."You're acting more and more like mom everyday" I snap closing my bedroom door. "Kayla open this door so we can talk" my dad snaps. "Why? So you can be just like mom and not allow me to be happy?" I ask wiping away tears. "What do these boys have to do with your happiness?" my dad asks. "Nothing except the fact that without them I wouldn't be alive right now. They told me that my life would get better than it was back then and that I couldnt give up on it so young. They helped me gain confidence and strength. Jai makes me feel like I am worth something. They all do. Dont you see that dad?" I respond trying to keep all my tears in. "Kayla please" my dad pleads. Relucantly I open the door and the lay on my bed. "Why didnt you just tell me this?" he asks. "Because you wouldnt listen" I respond. "I'm sorry Kayla. I didnt realize you and them had been through so much together" my dad says softly. "We've been friends since we were in diapers" I mumble. "I was wrong. They have helped you and i will allow you to see them as long as you wish" my dad responds. "Thank you daddy" I say giving him a hug. "You're welcome hun" he says returning the gesture.
"Hey Kayla" Beau says engulfing me in an extremely tight hug. "Heyy" Skip yells jumping on me. "Omfg" I gasp laughing. "We fu-freaking missed you" Luke exclaims hugging me. "I missed you guys too" I respond giving all of them a hug.
"So have you asked your dad about LA yet?" James asks when we are all watching a movie. "No not yet" I respond laying my head on Jai's shoulder. "Hope your dad is okay with you dating a nineteen year old because tomorrow is my birthday" Jai winks. "Oh he wont be" I respond honestly. "I think you guys will be okay" James says. "Yeah if you want you can date me till your eighteen" Skip jokes. "Damn bro" Jai laughs throwing a pillow at him. "I'll text my dad about LA now" I say taking out my phone.
Me: hey dad I have a huge question to ask you
Dad: yes?
Me: I really want to be able to see the guys as much as possible
Dad: I know
Me: Would you be okay with me going back to LA with them? permanetly?
"You guys he hasnt responded" I say worringly. "It'll be okay he will" Jai reassures me rubbing my leg. "Happy birthday" the guys and I exclaim happily when the clock strikes 12am. "I'm giving you two your presents whether you want them or not" I say to Luke and Jai. I hand them both the boxes with their presents. "Open them" I say eagerly. For Jai I got him a necklace(it actually came with two) and its a lock with a key. And for Luke I got him a necklace(bff necklaces) and one is poop and the other is pee. "Omg!" Luke exclaims happily. "Here you can have the pee" he says handing it to me. "Thanks" I say. "Thank youu Kayy" Luke says hugging me. "Wow KAy thank you so much" Jai says kissing me. "The key is for you" I say handing it to him. "And the lock is for you" he says putting it around my neck.
After a few hours we finally decided to go to bed. I was laying in bed next to Jai when my phone vibrated.
Dad: hell no
Me: You cant do this to me!
Dad: you are only 17 years old and I do not trust those boys enough
Me: fine. I'll ask mum
Dad: you really think she'll say yes
Me: who knows. if not wait till im 18
Dad: we will talk later
Me: cant spending Jai and Lukes 19th bday with them. love you
dad: theyre 19? Kayla you need to stop seeing him immediately.
Me: im almost 18 please im trying to sleep goodnight
With that I lock my phone before he can respond.
"Kayla" Jai mumbles. "Im in love with you" he adds. "I'm in love with you too" I respond crashing my lips on to his. As our lips are moving in perfect sync I wait for one of the guys to come in and interupt but the interuption never comes. "I'm so glad we met" Jai says not breaking the kiss. "You and me both" I murmur against his lips. "Where is she?" I hear my dad yell from downstairs. "Crap" I say getting up out of the bed. "Go in the bathroom" I whisper to Jai and he nods and quickly runs in to the bathroom. "Dad what are you doing here?" I ask. "Kayla I am sick and tired of your bull" my dad snaps. "What are you talking about?" I yell. "You always crying over these boys" my dad yells back. "Do you not remember when I said they are the reason im still ALIVE?" I ask loudly. "What could those ignorant boys have done?" he asks angrily. "Well if Beau hadnt walked in on me I wouldve hit a vein! If Jai hadnt been there I probably wouldve had severe brain damage! If Luke hadnt been there I probably wouldnt have been able to take all of the stress from finding out about you! If James hadnt been there I wouldve never felt welcomed or wanted! If it werent for Skip I probably wouldve never smiled again!" I yell causing my dad to look bewildered. "I mean I can stop seeing them. But that would me you would lose me. Forever" I add wiping away tears. "Kay-" "No. I'm moving back in with mum and if she says I can move to LA. I'm moving to LA" I say interupting him. "Caleb I'm going to have to ask you to leave" Gina says coming in to the room. Dad nods and leaves. "Kayla" Jai says hugging me. I break down and he sits down on the bed laying me next to him. "Can I speak with Kay in private mum?" Jai asks politely. Gina nods and leaves the room closing the door behind her. "Kayla I know you upset but you dont have to move back with your mum" Jai says softly. "I want to" I mumble between tears. "Okay. Do you want us to help you pack up your stuff?" Jai asks. I nod and wipe my eyes. Before we live i text my mum.
Me: mum im coming home
Mum: the doors always open sweetie
I take Jai's hand and we all go to my dads house to pack up.

"Mum thank you" I say hugging her. "You're always welcomed home" my mum says kissing the top of my head. "Luke Jai happy 19th" she says handing them each a box. They open it and inside is a picture of them me Gin and mum when we were little. "Thank you Muma" they say hugging her. "Will you guys be staying long?" she asks directing her attention to the rest of the boys. "We're here for eight more days" Beau responds glumily. "Kayla do you want to go back with them?" my mum asks. "Really?" I ask excitedly. "You can stay for the summer but you must finish school here" mum responds. "Thank you so much" I exclaim hugging her tightly. "I dont know about you but I think we should do a good old time barbecue" mum suggests. "Yes! We'll invite our mums and everything" Skip yells. "Of course" my mum says.
