Kian Lawley:
"And then she fell into mud" Emily was in tears from laughing so hard at the end of the table.
"uh,what?no actually!because you pushed me!" Grace had her head on both her hands.
We was around the table talking about a trip Grace,Emily and her mom went on one year.
"You still fell" Her mom was cracking up too.
"Oh my god" she covered her face with her hands and her hair fell forward.
There was little bits of laughter until I broke the ice.
"I think it's cute" I said.
Grace peeked through her fingers and giggled.
"Whaaat?" I laughed at the "aaa"
It was quiet until Emily laughed again.
"So Kian,how did you take the news" her mom turned to me.
"MOM!" Grace obviously did some action behind me because her mom mouthed "oh sorry".
"Sorry about that.some...mixup" her mom put her hand on my arm.
Apart from that weird bit,It was so nice to sit at the table and talk with them,they are just so friendly. But my phone started ringing.
"Oh,excuse me please" I got up and walked into the living room.
"Hello?" I answered
"Kian,it's Sam"
"I know who it is?whats up?"
"It's um..GOD"
"SAM,WHAT IS IT?!"I loudly whispered.
"It's a tour."
"What is?!"
"Us.O2L,there's a surprise world tour."
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah I know,it's a surprise to all of us..a world tour,tomorrow we start,we go to,NYC then TEXES then other places in America and then the UK then ITALY then other places, Kian this is amazing"
"Uh,that's..great. I'll be at the house in 30."
"Laters"
I hug up and just stood there frozen.
"Kian?" I heard a soft voice.
I turned to see Emily at the doorway.
"What's wrong,I heard shouting,are you angry?" She tilted her head.
"Um," I bent down. ",Kian's got to go and do a job for a while."
"Cool,can I come?" She smiled.
I don't want to but I'm about to break that smile that's gonna break my heart.
"You uh..you can't honey" I bit my tongue.
"But.." That smile dropped.
Grace walked in looking so happy.
"Hey what's going on?"
I opened my mouth to talk but Emily shouted;
"KIANS GOING A..AWAY!" She started to cry.
"Wh..what does she mean 'Away'?" Grace started to shake.
"Grace," I took her hand in mine and sighed ",I'm going away for a O2L tour."
"That's..okay isn't it,just a bit of America then that's it...right?" She looked at me.
"I don't want to fucking do this." I mumbled.
"World tour Grace." I tightly grabbed her hand.
She didn't say anything.
"You.." A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Grace,no..don't cry." I wiped it away with my thumb but it didn't work.
She tightly hugged me.
"Don't go Kian." I could tell she was in floods of tears.
"Grace" my voice cracked.
"Don't go." she softly whispered.
"Don't" she repeated
"I have to,I have no choice." I whispered and I regretted saying that .
I felt her shiver.
"Hey" I pulled out of the hug and looked at her.
Her eyes were all red and blotchy.
I took out a tissue from my pocket and wiped her eyes.
"My god kian." She laughed.
"I'm so sorry." She closed her eyes.
"You have nothing to be sorry for."
I softly kissed her eyelid and kissed the other eyelid. I took my dog tag off my neck and placed it in her hand. It had "Kian" carved into it.
"Wha..what's this for?" She looked at it.
I didn't say anything I just took it from her hand and put it around her neck.
"Now you have me round your neck at all times." My hands were on her cheeks.
"I'll miss you kian." She chocked up.
"It will be okay.i promise."
"When do you go?" She closed her eyes already knowing what I'm about to say.
"Tomorrow"
She squeezed her eyes shut and squealed.
"Tomorrow" she whispered.
I looked up at the clock and it was 6:20. I looked back down and grace was stood there with Emily by her side.
"I..I gotta be at the house by 6:30" I whispered.
"It's okay." Emily said.
All 3 of us walked to the door,I grabbed my suitcase and opened the door.
"Emily,go in its cold." Grace smiled.
"Wait," she ran up to me and jumped,I picked her up. ",I'll miss you kian" she hugged me tightly and I kissed her on the cheek and put her down.
"Bye crocodile." I winked and with that she ran inside.I put my suitcase in the boot and slammed the boot shut.
"I guess-" I started.
"This is goodbye kian"
"No.why are you saying goodbye?" I placed my hand on her cheek.
She held her breath and pulled out a envelope.
In the top right corner it had the words 'London Art Academy' stamped on it.
I slowly opened it and read the letter.

"Kian,say something" Grace took the letter off me and started to cry.
I was so angry,WHY DIDNT SHE TELL ME?!
"Have fun at your convention." Was all I said.
"Kian please"
I walked to the drivers side and open the door and got in.
"KIAN!" She shouted.
I shut the door .
"YOU CANT JUST DO THIS?!" Grace banged on the window.
I rolled the window down and said;
"Hope you meet many British Boys Grace"
I rolled the window up and drove off.
