~*11/8 7:35 AM*~
"BRIIIIIIIIING, BRIIIIING". I shut of the alarm and rolled out of bed. Nick was still sleeping. he looked like a cuddly teddy ear. I smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips. He awoke and smiled. I went into the kitchen. I see Krista and AJ eating some cereal.
"Morning" I moaned to them getting me some cocoa puffs
"Morning" Kris repeated
"How'd you sleep?" I asked them sitting at the counter
"Pretty good" Aj replied stretching. Brian, Kev and Howie came out after us. They all sat down on the couch.
"So" Howie said in a chipper voice "Todays the day huh?" his voice suddenly saddened
Nick suddenly held me tight "Yea" I replied sadly "It's the day"
Kris and I just were packing little knick knacks. "DO you need any help?" Nick asked plopping on the bed
"Nope" I replied not even looking at him "I'm ready"
"Alright" Nick replied trying to smile. He gave me a kiss. I smiled and brough my bag to the den. I plopped on the couch next to Brian.
"Hey! Keep yor chin up" Brian told me pushing my head up
"I'm trying" I replied
Aj came and sat next to us followed by Krista who plopped on his lap.
"When does the fliht leave?" AJ asked
"11" I replied getting up. I went ack into Nick and I's room and started to brush my hair. I changed into capri jeans and a green shirt. I sat down by the mirror and combed my hair and put it up on a ponytail. Howie came in.
"Mind if I come in/" Howie asked
"No, come in" I replied. He came in and sat on the bed.
"what's up?" I asked him getting up
"Here's my cell number and my Email address" He gave me a piece of paper "In case you ever need to talk
"Thanks Howie" I replied giving him a hug "You're so caring"
"I try to be" Howie replied with a smirk
~*SAME DAY 10AM*~
AJ and Kris dragged her suitcase into the den. We all sat there in silence until Donna called "It's time to go". Nick helped me with my things as we headed for the elevator. They boys had to catch a plane later for their Buffalo show. We got into the van and drove off.
We waited for the flight announcer to announce our flight. Krista sat on AJ leaning against him. Nick and I stood up as he held me oh-so close. I could feel the tears welding in my eyes already.
"Flight number 532 to Orlando is now boarding" The announcer shouted.
"Well" I started "I guess this is good bye". Kris and I started to say good bye and hug all the BSB. I first came to Kevin. I gave him a hug
"I'm sorry we never really talked" I told him with a sniffle
"So am I" Kevin replied "Now you concentrate on your school work. You'll never get anywhere w/o a degree"
"Ok" I told him with a tear falling from my eye. Next was Brian. I came up to him and gave him a hug
"You work on your 3-point shot ok?" I tried to joke my sadness away
"Yea" Brian replied starting to choke up "And you keep doin what you do"
"Ok" I replied and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Next was Howie. Howie hugged me first
"Thanks for always listening Howie" I gasped out. The tears were really rolling now
"Anytime Tess" He replied "Now you stay safe, you hear?"
"Yea" I replied whiping the tears 'I hear ya". AJ stood there waiting for his hug.
"We have to SKy dive next time I see you" AJ told me whiping a tear from my cheek
"Of course" I sobbed "And that bungee jumping was fun"
"Yea" He said. Last but not least was Nick. I jumped into Nick's arms. He hugged me so tight. I wanted to freeze that point in time so I didn't have to leave. I turned to him and we shared the best kiss yet. "I'll call you ASAP" I told him crying
"Ok" he replied. I saw a tear fall from his eye. "I love you" He told me with another kiss"
"I love you too" I replied. I gave a card to him. "Open this up after I leave". I went over to Kris who was locked in a steamy kiss with AJ. I tapped her shoulder "It's time to go" I told her. After a few minetes, AJ let go of her. We got our bags. I gave Nick one last kiss before I left. We waved good buye. They waved good bye too as we boarded the plane.
"Tessa wanted us to read this" Nick said whiping a tear from his cheek.
Howie took it and started to read
