IVY'S POV

{ time skip: 7:30am on the last day }

*i wake up to the alarm i set and sit in bed, rubbing my eyes. i slowly move out of bed not wanting to wake joey or hurt my sunburn anymore than it already did. i stretch and open my suitcase, taking out a pair of leggings and a shirt to wear on the plane. joey comes up behind me and hugs me softly. i turn around in his arms and hug him back.*

ivy- good morning my love

joey- good morning princess

ivy- how did you sleep

joey- it was good, what about you? i know your sunburn was hurting

ivy- that was painful but besides that i slept okay. i kept waking up from it stinging

joey- hopefully you can sleep on the plane

ivy- i hope so, thank you for this trip baby

joey- don't worry about it love, you're worth it

ivy- i'm so thankful for you

joey- i love you

ivy- i love you more

*he pecks my lips, causing me to giggle and i kiss back while i have the chance. he rests his hands on my lower back and kisses my forehead a couple times.*

joey- you can get ready first, ill get ready out here

ivy- are you sure?

joey- i promise it's okay

*i smile and kiss his cheek before walking into the bathroom. i wash my face and do my skincare routine. then i brush my teeth and put on my new pair of clothes. i quickly braid my hair and walk out, packing all my final things. i sit down on the bed and look out the window, thinking about how we have to leave. i hear joey walking over to me and he wipes my cheek with his thumb. i guess i was crying and i didn't even notice.*

joey- hey, why are you crying baby?

ivy- i'm just going to miss it here. skylar always talked about going with me and we never got to go. i guess it's just now hitting me because she'll be gone for 4 years next month.

joey- she was here with you, i promise princess

ivy- i know, it's just not the same

joey- i hope i helped you make this trip worth it for her and you

ivy- you did, that's why i keep saying thank you

*i sniffles and look up at him. he rubs my back with his thumb and kisses my forehead. i lean my head on his shoulder and sniffle while looking out the window.*

joey- are you ready to go baby? if we don't leave soon we are going to miss our flight

ivy- yeah, let's go

*i take a deep breath and stand up, grabbing my suitcase. joey walks out the door behind me and we get on one of the boats that brings us to the dock. i lean into joey, causing him to wrap his arms around me and i look at the water, thinking of my sister. before i know it, we are at the dock and joey is helping me off the boat. i grab our bags and hand his to him. he intertwines our fingers as we walk to the car and we both get in after putting our suitcases in the trunk.*
