~Hannah's POV~

{the next morning}

"Ehh," I groaned, rolling over in bed to face the clock on the nightstand.

6:23 a.m., The neon blue numbers shone in the darkness of the room. I groggily slipped my legs out from under the covers, and heaved myself out of bed.

I trudged out of my room to the hallway, when I noticed that Nikki's door was propped open slightly.

I peeked through the crack in the doorway, and saw she was sitting on her bed, crying.

I opened the door all the way, and walked in with wide eyes.

"Aw, what's the matter?" I asked, putting my hand on her shoulder.

"T-the r-rain stopped," she began between sobs. "The roads are c-clear. Your dad can c-come p-pick you up n-now."

"Oh, Nikki," I sighed, not wanting to see her like this. "We've still got a couple hours to see each other. And besides, maybe he'll even let you come with us back home."

"R-really?" she looked up with puffy, red eyes, and tear-stained cheeks.

"Sure! I mean, it might be hard to raise two kids and take care of his sister the whole time, but it's not like Adam's alone... the guys would be at the house with us," I comforted her. I was unconvinced Adam would take Nikki, too, but it was better to tell her that, then have her cry even more.

"I h-hope he let's me c-come," Nikki stuttered. I nodded in agreement.

"So stop wasting your energy crying. Save it for meeting your new dad!" I exclaimed as cheerfully as possible.

I just hoped it was the truth...

~Winta's POV~

{one hour later}

"Ah! Today's the day! I can't wait to see Hannah!" I exclaimed, rushing down the stairs. Adam followed sleepily behind me. He had just woken up, whereas I had been up for hours, counting down the minutes until we could go get Hannah.

"Relax, okay? We're not leaving until ten," Adam muttered, walking to the kitchen.

"THREE HOURS!" I screeched, maybe a bit too loud.

"Shh, you don't wanna wake everyone up, do ya?" Adam sighed, although I saw him crack a small smile.

"Maybe I do, so they can all see how happy I am!" I clapped my hands excitedly, sitting down at the kitchen counter.

The clock rang 7:30, and I hopped up and grabbed Adam's shoulders and shook him back and forth.

"Two and a half hours!" I cheered, releasing him and running around.

~Kyle's POV~

I sleepily opened my eyes to see Hannah and Nicole staring at me.

"Is he awake yet?" Nicole turned to look at Hannah.

"I think so..." Hannah assumed.

"AHH!" I screamed, shoving them out of my face.

"Yup, he's awake," Nicole acknowledged with a loud laugh.

"Why... just why," I facepalmed.

"For the lol's?" Hannah shrugged, dashing out of the room. Nicole followed shortly behind her.

I'm gonna miss that...

~Adam's POV~

{two and a half hours later}

"Do you have everything?" I asked Winta. She nodded.

"Guys, we're leaving!" I called up the stairs. Everyone came rushing down the stairs at once. All of them but Mitch.

Rene had a box of tissues with her, which she was sharing with Jason and Ty.

"A-are you sure about t-this?" Ty stuttered, wiping at his eyes with a Kleenex.

"Yeah, Ty, I think it's the best for us," I smiled weakly.

"O-okay... if you're s-sure," he sniffled. I nodded.

"Thanks Ty," I gave him a big hug.

"Bring it in everyone," I said. Everyone group-hugged and said their goodbyes.

"I'll come back to visit sometime," I told them. "Don't worry."

They all released their embrace, and followed us out to the driveway as Winta and I hopped in my car with our things.

The truck pulled out and started heading north, while Winta and I went the opposite direction to Tyler's house.

"Bye," everyone shouted from the driveway, as we pulled out and away.

Starting fresh.
