What Happens in New Jersey, stays in New Jersey... Right?

Six.

Kelly's POV
*Several days later*

Sunday Evening
Home
I look around my bedroom, reminiscing all the memories I've made in not just this bedroom but here, New Jersey. Home. I look to my Polaroid photo wall and see several photos of me and Cameron goofing around after school, a rare one of the four of us smiling - a personal favourite of mine. One of just me and Ethan play fighting and him clearly letting me win. I smile remembering the memory vividly. Then the most recent one, of me and Grayson, at the beach, taken during the sunset.

I look to the floor, my suitcase. Empty. I haven't been able to bring myself to physically pack anything and I leave tomorrow.

"Kellie! Could you get the door?" My mom shouts from the bathroom. I didn't even hear the doorbell. I wipe my tears from my cheeks, get up from my bed and wander downstairs.

Upon opening the door I see Ethan, Grayson and Cameron sporting all types of Australian themed onesies. They all match. Kangaroo onesies. "Oh guys! I told you I didn't want any of this!" I start crying again, thus ending up having a group hug. 

"We couldn't not throw a little farewell party now could we?" Ethan says, holding far too many pizza boxes in his arms. "See you soon party, E..." Grayson corrects Ethan, he hates goodbyes and does anything to avoid them at all costs. "Bro, Kellie might fall in love with Aus, who's to say she changes her mind and ends up staying there?" Cameron adds, looking at both Ethan and Grayson. "Oh Cam! Don't make things worse!" I giggle.

"I bought our favourite movies" Grayson says, holding a collection of DVD's. "Is that?" I squint my eyes, noticing the handmade dvd cover. "It certainly is!" He smiles. Home movies from when we were kids. We would always mess about whether it be vacations with our families or the summer holidays and even Christmas. You name it, we filmed it. "Sure is going to be an emotional night, I'm already a mess!" I sniffle. "I bought pizza!!" Ethan enthusiastically says. "Pineapple?" I question. "Of course!" He replies, already licking his lips. "And I bought myself" Cameron says and we all start laughing.

"Ethan! Grayson! Cameron! It's so lovey to see you!" Mom joins and hugs them all. "What brings you here? Are those kangaroo onesies? That's brilliant!" My mom chuckles. "We couldn't not throw Kellie a farewell party before she leaves us tomorrow" Ethan pouts, pretending to be sad. "I'm not leaving forever E!" I reply, looking at them in their matching onesies. "Don't think you're getting out of this one. Here's yours!" Grayson gives me also a matching onesie. I close my eyes and smile slightly.

"You set up, I'll be right back" I say, heading for the stairs and to my bedroom. I close the door behind me slightly leaving it ajar. I put my onesie on and stand in front of my mirror, I see my suitcase just waiting to be packed.

Am I really doing this? And on my own?

A knock on my bedroom door slightly startles me. "Can I come in?" It's Grayson. "Of course you can Gray" I reply, pushing the suitcase under my bed. Out of sight, out of mind. "You haven't packed?" He questions, his eyebrows furrowed. "You're having doubts aren't you?" He continues. It's almost as if he read my thoughts. "Come here" he opens his arms wide and I embrace him tightly. I didn't have to say a single word. He just knew. "Ssh, it's okay. You do know you don't have to go. Not if you really don't want to. I can see how much it's stressing you out" He continues to comfort me. "It's, it's" i sniffle. "The whole reason I wanted to go travelling was because I felt so empty. I felt like I had nothing here apart from Cameron and Mom. I felt like I had nothing worth staying here for. Now, now you and Ethan are back in my life again - it's changed everything" I sob onto Grayson's shoulder.

"Then don't go" he simply says, looking down at me. I look up, all puffy and teary eyed.

It's not that simple though, is it?
