"Erick stop fooling around before you tip the poor girl over!" Erick's mother scolded as Erick pushed Ray on the luggage carts
"Truly are the youngest of the group" Aaliyah laughed
"Why's it so bright" Richard snr said removing his sun glasses
"Because you're hungover papita" Aleesha laughed slightly
"I told you about those" Richards mother scolded snatching the sunglasses from her husband

The girls and boys were accompanying their parents to the airport to catch their flights back to La, Puerto Rico, Mexico, you name it. The boys seemed used to this but the girls still hadn't gotten over it.

"Okay 5 minutes let's go" Aaliyah's father clapped
"i'm going to miss you" Aaliyah's mom said tears brimming her eyes
"mami!" Aaliyah whined sniffing herself
"I'm not crying!" she said with a slight laugh as she blinked the tears away "Promise to take care of yourself and call whenever you need me"
"Pinky promise" Aaliyah said holding her pinky out

Her mother hooked their pinky's and pulled her daughter in for another hug, stroking her hair before placing a loving kiss on her forehead. Aaliyah's mother moved onto Ray and Aleesha, doing the same before looking over at Zabdiel and opening her arms to give him a hug

Not even a step away Ray was wailing as her mother held onto her tightly
"Ray i'm not leaving you forever princess" Her mom said slowly
"Too soon" Ray wailed holding onto her mother tighter

Ray's mother looked at Erick with pleading eyes as he peeled his girlfriend off her mother and let her koala hug him.
"Take care of her please" Ray's mother asked softly
"Always" Erick nodded
"Son" Ray's father said simply

Aleesha hung onto her mother, both of them not saying a word because they knew they would start and never stop. Her mother placed a kiss on her temple before pulling away, she pulled Richard into a hug, whispering a couple instructions on how to deal with her when they got home before the intercom rang

Nearly all their flights were called to board as they made their way to the boarding gates without a second glance their parents all disappeared. Ray had exhausted herself and still remained clung to Erick as he moved toward where they parked the car. The drive back home was somber, Christopher tried to lighten the mood but failed. When everyone got back home they separated into their rooms shutting the doors

Richard immediately got cracking, popping some popcorn and grabbing some snacks out the cupboards. He grabbed some fluffy blankets and made a fort before calling Aleesha down. She grumpily complied but couldn't help the smile on her face at the fort that Richard had set up with Disney movies playing on the TV.

"Will you please be my date to the movies?" Richard asked sheepishly
"You didn't have to do this" Aleesha said
"I know how sad you get when your parents leave so i thought i'd just" Richard trailed off
"Did my mom put you up to this?" Aleesha mused
"maybe that- that's not the point" Richard said making Aleesha laugh a bit "there's that beautiful smile i fell in love with"
"you said you fell in love with my eyes" Aleesha teased
"imm sure i said it was that ass" Richard played along "let's sit before the popcorn gets cold you goof"

Zabdiel flopped on the bed, pulling his phone out and pulling up his voice notes.

"The boys and I played around and finished De Cero" Zabdiel said
"De Cero?" Aaliayh asked puzzled
"the song we were working on.... well we decided to call it De Cero" Zabdiel informed her
"oh sweet" Aaliyah said just before the song began playing. Aaliyah listened to it carefully until the end where she looked to see Zabdiel already watching her

"Love it" She said simply
"I knew you would" Zabdiel smiled "Now a letter came for you in the mail a couple days ago thought i'd give it to you when we were alone"
"Zabdiel no more gifts" Aaliyah scolded
"Not from me, it's from the correctional institution" Zabdiel said u"plus i'm sure Richard won that competition"

Aaliyah shakily opened the brown envelope, sliding the letter out and reading it carefully. It stated the details of Dante's case and how heavily it weighed on her testimony and testifying against it.

"Why would they force you to do that?" Zabdiel asked
"i dunno" Aaliyah said as she began to pace the room

Zabdiel watched her for a while before standing to his feet and stopping her. she took both her hands into his own and looked her in the eye

"No matter what you decide he'll never hurt you again, not on my watch or the guys and girls watch. we are here for you Li, most especially me. Whatever you decide i am behind you 100% okay?" Zabdiel said softly
"Just hold me" Aaliyah whispered

Zabidel opened his arms, allowing Aaliyah to snuggle into his chest as they rocked side to side in an effort to calm their feelings and forget about all the stress
