"Hey Spongebob," Jay greeted through the phone.

"Hi asshole," I smirked.

"How've you been?"

"Wonderful, I just feel a bit bummed about Siva's dad."

"Same, the funeral was depressing. Siva still kept his head high though. He's always been this way. I still don't think it really happened," I heard him sigh.

Hannah was beside me driving the car looking sorry. Finally we made it to one of our original eating places. Pizza, of course.

"Well I'm gonna go. Me and Hannah reached our destination!"

"You girls have fun. Talk to you later," he hung up.

Me and Hannah exited the car and into the pizza place. We sat where we would always back then, one empty seat cause Alek was no longer here.

"Wanna take a picture?" I ask her. "I only have one on my Instagram."

"You're into that now?" she chuckled.

I shrugged, pulling out my phone. We posed for the camera and I posted the picture with the caption '@hannahpixiesnow i wuv u.'

"Wow it's been awhile since I've been here," Hannah sighed as I put my phone away.

"Why is that? You only live like fifteen minutes away!"

She shrugged, "I can't come here anymore. Ever since you left, all it reminds me of is you. And Alek too of course. It's weird, sometimes I have dreams of me, you, and Alek sitting in this very spot. We were unbreakable back then," she smiled letting a tear fall.

"We were weren't we?" I agree smiling. "Stop crying H, otherwise I'll start and we'll just be a mess."

She wiped her eyes laughing. "Sorry. You know how I am though."

"Yea, yea, yea," I smiled.

My phone went off. Notification from Instagram. Oliver commented.

'She's a doll! (;'

I showed Hannah and her reaction was priceless. She was never good with getting compliments, especially from guys.

"Who's he?"

"A friend, I'll show you a picture."

I pulled up one he posted the other day of getting a touch up on his tattoos.

"He's pretty cute," Hannah blushed.

Just then our pizza arrived. Yay, my other best friend.

Sunday. We're going home today. I still had the box of stuff Kendra gave to me, never looking inside yet. I can't wait till we're back home.

Hannah was here, wanting to come to the airport with us.

"Now zip it up!" she ordered while sitting on top of my suitcase.

I did as told and it finally closed, we high fived. "Finally," she muttered.

Sam came into the room,"Is that the last bag we need to fit in the car?"

I nodded and Sam offered to take it down.

She left taking the suitcase with her and I sighed, "Would you move to the UK if you had the opportunity?" I asked her.

Hannah's eyes widened, "You're kidding right?"

I shrugged, "It'd take a lot of begging but you don't need to be out here anymore. You're sick of it and I could tell. Don't you want a fresh start?"

"Yes, I do. Moving just seems crazy!"

"I know but think about how fun it would be!"

"Talk to your aunt," she said. "I'll think about it."

The flight back was chill. I slept like a baby! I knew I was going to need it since it was going to be 10 AM there.

After exiting the plane and finding our luggage, I felt like we were flooded by tons of people. It was so crowded and annoying.

"This way," I heard Jenna's voice.

I followed towards the exit, just then I saw a familiar face holding a sign that said 'Spongebob.' Jay! Oliver and Cordelia stood beside him.

I pretty much tackled Jay with a hug, landing a kiss on his lips. That got a bunch of whistles and I just realized what I did. Best part was everyone was here! Including, Max, Tom, and Siva! Yay! Note the sarcasm.

I pulled away suddenly embarrassed.

"I called it!" Tom raised his hand and I rolled my eyes.

"You guys are adorable," Max commented winking.

"Thanks," I mumbled still a bit embarrassed.

"Spongebob," I turned to Oliver.

"Olisaurus," he rolled his eyes at me before I gave him a hug. "I want another charm," I mumbled. For standing up to my mom.

"I came prepared," he pulled away and took out a star charm, placing it on the bracelet.

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Nice tattoo by the way," he looked down to my thigh.

"The 'doll' did it," I winked.

"How much does it cost to remove them?" I heard Cordelia joke.

I turn and she gives me a hug. "I'm happy you're still in one piece."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"To be honest I was scared to let you leave. I was so close to getting Oliver on a flight of his own," she pulled away.

"I'm glad you didn't. And does that mean you can trust me?"

She smiled, "I guess."

Good enough for me!

After unpacking all my stuff with the help of Oliver, we sat on the couch, getting ready to watch Netflix. The guys had a game today but I was too exhausted to go anywhere, Jay understood.

"I really missed you," he said.

"Yea, I know," I teased.

"Did anything go wrong? You wanted a charm so I figured you'd wanna talk about it."

"I thought there was 'No questions asked' rule."

He smirked, "Please."

"I visited Kendra, my 'mom.' She hasn't changed. I just wanted to thank her cause if it wasn't for what she put me through I definitely wouldn't be sitting here with you."

He smiled putting his arm around me, "I'm happy for ya, you definitely proved to Cordelia that you can take care of yourself."

I shrugged, "I don't feel completely free yet."

He chuckled, "No one ever really is."

"How is Cordelia anyways? We barely had anytime to talk at the airport."

"Maybe you should go pay her a visit."

"Now?"

"Why not?"
