Chapter Sixteen-

_-_A Couple Hours Later-_

Since Jack asked me to move in with him, all of us, including Sarah, were trying to figure out how to tell my dad that I was moving across the country. I had no idea how to though. I mean, I had been through a lot with my dad, and despite our current positions, I really was going to miss him. But I knew that I couldn't live without Jack, I just hoped my dad supported this decision. After all, I can become a mechanical engineer in Orlando after all, right?

I groaned, burying my face in my hands as another idea went down the drain. We were all gathered around the couches, me in Jack's lap since we were running out of room. Sarah was sitting in Justin's lap, too. What can I say? We didn't have a lot of room.

The best idea we had was that I just go in there and tell him I moving out. Everyone agreed saying that was the best idea, and that it was the best one and would probably be easier on him. But how do I tell the man who raised me, who I loved, that I was moving across the country, and in between one of our biggest fights too? How do I explain the fact that it's not because of him I'm leaving, and convince him.

"Bentley, I think the best thing is to just go right out and tell him.." Vic said, making me look up at him. Then there was leaving Vic and them here. They had been my only friends, and Marshall. Fuck, how was I going to tell my childhood friend that I was leaving? I didn't know what to do now.

Jack's grip on me tightened on me, making me look back at him. He had a concerned and worried look on his face. "Babe, I think he's right." Jack said. I nodded, though I wasn't sure how to just go up to him and say that. "Do you what me to go with you when you tell him..?" Jack asked. I thought about this. My dad would honestly take it all out on Jack if he was there. It was already clear that he didn't approve of him, so I shook my head.

"No, I think it's best if I just tell him myself.." I said softly, standing up from his lap. Everyone's shot up to me as I stood. I shrugged. "I have to get working on the bus.." I muttered, walking away from them, and walking over to where the bus was.

_-_Jack's POV_-_

My eyes followed her as she walked away from us. God, I hope this is what she really wanted. I knew she was happy when I asked, which made me extremely glad Vic told me to ask her, but I knew how much leaving her dad would hurt. She loved her dad, and he was clearly the one who had always, no matter what been there for her. I promised myself, since the moment she said she loved me, that I'd always be there for her now.

And, I could see that she was just realizing all the people she'd have to leave behind. Which made me wonder if it was the right thing for her to come with me. But, the more I thought about, the more I knew I couldn't live without her by my side.

"She'll be okay Jack. She just needs to clear her head." I heard Vic say, and some of the others mumbled agreements. I nodded my head, trying to let Vic's words comfort me. She was going to be okay, she just needed some time, that's all. I really hoped that was all at least. I didn't want her to regret moving away from here. I wanted her to be happy about this, and excited to start a new life. But, I also knew that was asking a lot. She had a life here, as I had said before. I knew she couldn't just pick it all up and leave. That was asking a lot more then I could. She had lived here her whole life, and she had memories and friends here that she couldn't just forget about. But, also, this wouldn't be the last time she would see the Pierce The Veil crew, we'd probably go on tour with them soon, and after all, Kellin and Vic were best friends. They were bound to come and visit, so this wouldn't be the last time we see them.

I sighed, I was letting my thoughts get the best of me. This would all work out, I was sure of it, it had to be.

_-_Bentley's POV_-_

By that time the next day, I had finished the bus. It was already to go, and the boys seemed excited to leave. I had packed that night, and all my things, except the cloths ones I was wearing right then were packed up and on the bus.

We weren't however leaving that day. We were leaving tomorrow so I could get all my things in order and say goodbye to everyone. Sarah had decided she would just leave with us instead of getting a plane home. I had no idea how we were going to get Azure over to Orlando, but Jack promised we would.

The only thing I had left to do now, was say goodbye to my dad and Marshall. I had called Marshall and explained what was going on. He was upset, but he promised we would keep in touch. Right now, I was going to talk to my dad. Despite Jack really wanting to be there when I told my dad, I made sure that the others kept him in the bus.

I sighed, running my hand through my hair, and waiting on my dad to come into the kitchen. I was sitting at the table, just waiting.

After what felt like hours, he finally walked in. He raised his eyebrows as he saw me sitting there, obviously surprised since I had spent the better part of the time he had been home avoiding him. "Dad? Can we talk..?" I asked him softly, looking up into the eyes of the man who I had spent my whole life with. He nodded, sitting down next to me at the table. I opened my mouth to speak again, but he cut me off.

"Before you say anything. I just want to tell you that I'm sorry. If your truly in love with this, Jack, then I support you. If you think you can have a long distance relationship with him, who am I to stop you? I just didn't want to lose you like I lost your mom. I know you think I moved on and forgot about her when I started dating Angelica, but it's just I really liked her, and I thought you needed a mom figure. I didn't like going behind your back for so long, but I just didn't know how to tell you. I love you, and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about Angelica, and that I didn't support you and Jack from the start."

My eyes had teared up by the end of my dad's small speech, because of how surprised and saddened by it I was. I was doing exactly what he had been scared of. Leaving him. I managed a brief, bittersweet smile. "I love you too daddy. And.. I'm so sorry I was against you and Angelica, I just didn't want her to replace mom, even though I never even met her.. And.. I'm so sorry about this next part.. Dad, I'm leaving with Jack.." I said softly, almost wishing he couldn't hear me. But, that was just wishful thinking.

"Why!? You just met the guy! You don't even know if you truly love him! Or if he loves you! I'm your father and I forbid you from leaving!" He yelled, standing up and taking me by surprise. I didn't scream like I thought I would, I simply stood up, and looked him in the eye.

"If you really love me dad, you'll let me leave, and let me be happy with him." I said, my eyes level with his. He glared at me, for the first time in what felt like my whole life.

"It's because I love you I'm not letting you leave!" He shouted, his green eyes glaring down at my grey eyes. I shook my head, turning away from him. "If you leave with him, don't you ever, ever, come back here when he leaves you."

Tears filled my eyes as I walked out of the door. I felt like crying at what had just happened, and breaking down. I had just lost my dad, the one who meant everything to me, all because he didn't want to lose me.
