Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter fifty-one♡

Tyler's pov

I watch as Craig folds his clothes nicely and places them neatly in his suitcase.

"I can't believe you're leaving already." I say quietly catching his attention as he stops folding clothes and comes over to me. He gets onto my lap, straddling me as he wraps his arms around my neck pulling my face towards his chest. "I know, I can't believe it either but remember this, next time we see each other it's gonna be our one year anniversary." I smile at the thought of it. Dating him for a year honestly sounds amazing. It's hard to even believe he's stayed with me all this time.

"This brings back a lot of memories." I spoke quietly. Craig looses his grip on me as I look up at him. "What memories?" He asks, tilting his head to the side a bit. "When we were stuck in the school, and when I.. did what I did, you saw I was upset and did this." I gesture to what we were doing now and he nods his head. "I remember." He replies with a giggle. I smile and wrap my arms around his waist and rest my head on his chest as he strokes my hair.

We stayed like that for 10 minutes before a knock at the door brought us back to reality. "Come in." Craig replies but stays still in my lap. I move my head a bit to see who it was to see Chelsea and Evan leaning against the doorframe.

"We're leaving soon Craig." Chelsea says. Her voice so soft. Craig sighs from above me as he pulls away from me and looks down. He brings his hand to my cheek and curses) it with his thumb. I lean into his touch and close my eyes, trying to savor as much of him as I could.

"Okay, I'll be out in a minute." Craig replies. Chelsea nods before her and Evan close the door, leaving us alone again.

I cup Craig's hand that was still holding my cheek while looking up at him. "Come here." I whisper. He smiles as he leans down and kisses me. I immediately kiss back as I pull him closer to me.

That's all we did for that whole minute. It didn't go past just a kiss, we explored each other just like we did when we first kissed. But soon that had to end when he needed to go. I had to bite my lip to stop myself from crying as he left my hold and finished packing before walking out of the room with me behind him.

Evan was driving him to the airport this time, not me. We agreed it'd be better on both Craig and I since it's already hold enough. Craig and Chelsea already said their goodbyes to everyone yesterday since they were leaving to go to the airport at 7 in the morning.

Craig stops at the door with his suitcase, confusing everyone as Chelsea and Evan were already down the hall.

Craig drops his suitcase and runs back towards me and jumps on me causing me to stumble back a bit before catching my balance as I wrap my arms around his waist.

"I love you so much Tyler, you'll never know." He sobs quietly into my  neck as we cling to each other. "I love you too." I whisper back. He let's go of me and smiles at me before smashing his lips into mine.

"I'll text you on the plane okay?" He says as he pulls away from the kiss. I wipe away one of his tears and nod before watching him run back to Evan and Chelsea. They all wave bye to me as I close the door behind me and lean against it as tears well up in my eyes.
