"I'll see you later not goodbye."

Andy's POV
That was one of the hardest things we'd ever filmed. Now, it was time to say goodbye to Mikey. For good.

I mean, he would obviously come back and hang out at some point. He would always be our friend and brother. But the next time he set foot into this house, Hogwarts, he would, officially, no longer be a member of Roadtrip. And that was hard to fathom.

He was going to take a train back to his house the night we filmed the vlog, and we all decided to go with him to drop him off. We all took pictures with him to post on our Instagrams. We were planning on posting them the next night, when we posted the vlog.

No one was really crying as much as I thought they would. Rye was sort of off, kind of secluding himself from everyone else. He'd pretty much been like that since we started filming the vlog, not really talking to anyone. I didn't know what was up with him.

Rye's POV
I couldn't really stand to talk to anyone at this point. Especially Mikey. I mean, how could I? I'd just realized it was my fault that my best friend was leaving the band. How was I supposed to live with myself after that?

I didn't want to talk to any of the other boys, either. I didn't want them to see how upset I was, how guilty, and then them finally realize that I was at fault. They would hate me. They would probably kick me out of the band. Andy would break up with me.

I didn't want that. Andy was pretty much the only person I had left, since Mikey was leaving. Don't get me wrong, I would text Mikey everyday. For sure. And I loved Brook and Jack to death, I really did. They were like my little brothers. I loved them, but it just wasn't the same as it was with Mikey or Andy.

I needed Andy, none the less. I don't really know how I could've lived without him. We'd only been dating for 7 months, almost exactly, but I'd known him for years. He was my best friend for the longest time before he was my boyfriend. I needed him. More than anyone would ever know. More than even I knew, to be fair.

Brook's POV
Everyone was taking pictures with Mikey while we dropped him off. I guess, to put on Instagram and write sappy captions to. It seemed like Mikey and Andy's goal was to make as many roadies cry as possible.

I decided to take a few selfies with Mikey, so that it wouldn't seem like I wasn't going to miss him or something. I was.

Mikey really was like the mom of the band. For awhile, it seemed like Andy was, but then him and Rye started dating and Mikey became our mom. He would keep all the rest of us out of trouble, make sure we didn't die, or anything, but then he was also there to talk to, as a shoulder to cry on if we needed it. Whenever anyone was going through a rough patch or anything, he was always there to talk to. I was going to miss that a lot.

Of course, we would always be able to text him if we needed it. But, there was definitely a difference between texting someone your problems and being able to talk it out, with them right there next to you. It wouldn't be as simple as walking to the next room, anymore.

Jack's POV
While everyone else was getting pictures with Mikey, I was sort of just off by myself, thinking. Mikey was always there for me, and for the rest of the boys too. As cheesy as it may sound, I genuinely wouldn't be the same person I was, without Mikey.

I probably wouldn't be dating Brook, to be honest. Mikey was the first person I told that I was gay. He was the first person I told that I liked Brook. And he helped me get the confidence I needed to finally ask Brook out. Brook makes me so happy.

Brook was like my little brother, at first. Even though he's older than me, technically. Then we got a lot closer and he was like my best friend. Then we got even closer, and now he's my boyfriend. And I couldn't ever ask for anyone better. I loved him, so freaking much.

When Brook was done taking selfies of him and Mike, I went over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I situated my head on his shoulder, and leaned into his neck a little.

"I love you, Brook," I told him.

He turned around in my arms, so that he was facing me. He leaned up and kissed me on the lips, soft and slow, but also passionate and full of love.

"I love you, too, babe," he smiled up at me.

There was a chorus of awes from the other boys. Rye and Andy made eye contact with each other, and held it a little longer than normal. Mikey looked a little sad.

"Gonna miss you, Mike," I told him, pulling away from Brook, just slightly.

"Gonna miss you, too, Jack," Mikey said, walking over and patting my shoulder for a second.

Soon after, a train pulled up and we all knew it was time for Mikey to leave. "Welp. This is me guys," he said.

We all watched sadly as he walked away. We knew that after tomorrow, Roadtrip surely wouldn't be the same.
