I Can't Go Back To The Way It Used To Be

"I don't wanna leaveeee" I cried to everyone as I got off the phone.

"What do you mean you're leaving?" Justina asked.

"My dad wants me to move too Cali in 3 DAYS!" I said complaining.

"You're kidding me right?" Craig asked.

I shook my head, and I saw Ashley got up and leave out.

"Ashley no I don't want you to leave" I said standing up.

"I can't be here right now" She said walking down the stairs.

"So your gonna leave me? Huh? Your gonna leave and disappear just like my boyfriend?!" I yelled so she can hear me.

"I DON'T WANT SOMEONE ELSE CLOSE TO ME LEAVE ME AGAIN!" She shouted, as tears streamed down her face.

What is she talked about?

She left the room for 5 minutes, then walked back in with a dry, but red, face.

She sat back in the beanbag, next to Chres.

"What was that all about?" Ray asked.

"Yea, what's going on?" Chres asked concerned.

"When we were 9, our mom walked out on us leaving us in this big house. We walked downstairs to see if she was outside but she wasn't, then when we tried to go back in the house the door was locked. We walked around the block and was stopped by 2 police officers. They asked where were our parents, and we said our mom left us. They took us in their cop car. We were crying and we were scared. We thought we were getting arrested..." She said chuckling lightly.

"...We then arrived at a foster home. We were stuck there for 3 years. Then some man came and said he wanted us to be his foster kids. He signed some papers and we were in his car. Later, we found out that he was our biological father. I don't know how. I thought they don't allow biological parents adopt you. He had pictures of our mom in his house. Picture of all 4 of us when mom just gave birth. Then we met Craig. He was like a brother to us. He was always with us. That's why we love him so much. So I walked back here because I didn't want to be like my mom when she abandoned us during the time we really needed her, so you need us and I don't want to leave you like that." Ashley finished off.

"I love you guys too. I love all you guys." Craig said.

"I love you guys too. I hope we can visit each other while I'm gone. Please don't forget about me" I said shedding a few tears.

"Aww come here guys" Chres said standing up so we can have a group hug.

"It feels so empty without Jacob" Justina said.

"Please don't talk about him right now. We're too in the moment to be thinking about him" I said.

Jacob Pov.

"Last call for the flight to California" The announcer said.

"Mom come on." I said grabbing my bags walking towards the thing where they take your luggage. We walked onto the plane and sat in our seats. I looked at my screen and it was a picture of Alana and I. We were at the beach with everyone, and Ray the wannabe photographer, took it. It's beautiful. It's black and white but Alana's beautiful green & hazel eyes still stuck out. She looked happy and carefree. A tear slipped but I quickly wiped it away.

"Are you okay honey?" My mom asked sincerely.

"Y-Yea I'm fine mom." I said looking out the window.

"I know you wanted to tell her, but you would've broke her heart." She said.

"Yea I know. I'll call her later." I said going on my phone. I went straight to my contacts, and stopped at "My Baby 😘❤️". I hit edit and deleted her number. I'm starting fresh. I love Alana a lot, and I hope she knows that. I just hope she doesn't forget me just like I won't forget her.

"Goodbye Alana." I said turning off my phone as we started to take off.
