Jack-

I just finished up watching Shawn's intro on Disney Channel and I kind of fell for Shawn's cousin, Hayley, who happened to have been in a small portion of the intro. She was gorgeous. But c'mon now, I would never do that to Morgan. She's my life.

Unfortunately since it's the holiday season, I have to head back to Omaha to visit family and friends. I'm actually leaving tonight. Luckily, Morgan doesn't know. I did end up finding a plane ticket to Honolulu, Hawaii. I'm guessing that she's going to go visit family too? I'm also hearing that Shawn's other family members from Omaha are hosting Christmas this year and I'm guessing Hayley's gonna be there too, so that's a plus.

"Jack?" I hear Morgan call through the house.

"What's up?" I shout back.

She runs down the stairs and into my arms. "My flight leaves in 2 hours. We need to head down to the airport right now!"

I chuckle, "Alright lets go." I kiss her nose and we run out the front door with her bags trailing behind her. As I throw her bags in the back, she runs over to me and stares into my eyes.

She laughs.

"Yes, Morgan?" I giggle.

She smiles while holding back tears.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm gonna miss you," she says, jumping into my arms. I stare blankly at the front door, thinking about what I'm about to do.

I wrap my arms around her tightly and she tightens her grip.

"I'm gonna miss you too, baby."

I kiss her neck and she pulls away, looking me back in the eyes. "I'm glad you're mine," she says.

"Me too," I smile. "Now let's go before you miss your flight."

She nods and hops in the passengers seat. I pull out my phone and text Shawn.

JG: im coming to omaha. meet me at the airport?

I walk to the drivers seat and we sit there staring at each other.

"What're you gonna do while I'm gone?" she asks.

I can't let the truth escape my mouth. "Uhh," I stutter. "Oh I'm going to my parents to see family."

She nods. "Tell them all I say hi," she whispers while putting on her seatbelt.

I nod and start the car to back out of the driveway.

As we're on the road, my phone dings.

SM: yeah dude, what time are you landing?

I unlock my phone and respond after turning into the carpool lane on the freeway.

JG: around 6:30? think you can give me a ride to my house?

"Jack! Watch out!" I hear Morgan scream.

I look up and I almost hit the car in front of us. Hitting the breaks, I throw my right arm across Morgan's chest making sure she doesnt hit anything in front of her.

"Sorry babe, Shawn texted me."

She shakes her head and looks out the window.

My phone rings again and it's Shawn again.

SM: yeah, but my cousin Hayley has to come because she doesn't feel comfortable staying home while im out. do you mind?

A huge smile comes across my face.

JG: nahh if she doesnt feel comfortable then bring her

I put my phone away as we pull up to the airport.

I hear Morgan sigh. I reach my hand over to hold hers and she looks at me.

"What's wrong baby?"

She shakes her head and hops out to grab her bags from the trunk. I rush and get out to help Morgan so I dont get towed. She pulls out her bags and drops them to give me the tightest hug.

"I'll miss you more than anything," she sniffles.

"And you don't think I will?"

She giggles. As I wipe the tear from her face, a security car rolls up.

I kiss her goodbye and explain to her that I need to go now because of security. She understood and walked into the airport. I quickly pull out of the drop off and I'm soon back on the freeway.

"Omaha here I come. And Hayley, baby girl, I'm coming too."
