sometimes I cry, sometimes I die for you
Sometimes I try, sometimes I lie for you

Once we arrived home Stephen and I got to wordlessly packing, not speaking to each other, well more like I'm giving him the silent treatment.

Stephen walked into my room to grab the bags I was already done with, he was about to say something when my phone began to ring, I was quick to answer the phone call knowing Stephen would try to answer it.

"Hey mom" I piped into the phone.

"Hey baby, I just wanted to check how you are and if everything is okay?" She asked me.

"Of course mom, why wouldn't it be?" I asked her.

"Well considering that you went out on a little date with little Mr Holland, I assumed Stephen was going to murder you" she joked.

"So did I, I'm still waiting on it" I chuckled earning a quick glare from Stephen.

"How was your little date?" She asked me. "Great until Stephen accidentally called me Colin like three times then Tommy put two and two together and bam now the biggest spoiler of spoilers is keeping this huge ass secret" I rambled.

"Oh my... don't you have issues" she mumbled. "Of course I do mum! That wasn't very supportive!" I groaned. "I'm sorry I'm trying to read your fathers expressions, you're on speaker, he's very speechless" she chuckled. I face palmed "hey dad" I mumbled.

"Well, you're in a pickle" he finally spoke. "Thanks guys, much appreciated" I groaned again stuffing undergarments into my bag.

I finally zipped up my final bag as my mom and I talked about my trip over there, what flights I'm taking, who's picking me up yada yada. Stephen had already taken the bags downstairs at this point.

Gene, Frankie's cousin, was going to have security patrol my house often, considering they would be paid a lot.

"Well are you going to go say goodbye to Tommy before you go?" My mother asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah, I kind of have to, but it's going to be so awkward" I grumbled as I grabbed my purse.

"I know baby, but it's only the right thing to do" she chuckled.

"I know, I know, I'll see you in a few, I'll call you guys when I've arrived" I said to her. "We'll be here pumpkin" my dad shouted from the background.

"Bye baby, take care" my mother said then we both hung up. I grabbed the car keys then walked to Stephen who was still fixing the bags.

"Take me to The Holland's?" I asked.

"What? No" he said in disbelief.

"What do you mean no? You have to for one apologize and two, we need to say goodbye" I said in disbelief.

"I don't need to apologize for protecting you" he snapped.

"Stephen! You nearly assaulted someone innocent" I almost shouted, "he was attempting to kiss you, you think I was going to let that happen?" He asked approaching me.
