~My P.O.V.~
We left to catch our flight to Minnesota at around 2:30pm. Tears were shed and hugs were shared with promises to keep in touch. And we were on our way.
"I'm so happy we're all going to be together forever." Zac said as we walked through the airport.
"My life is complete now." Taylor said.
"I just hope it all works out." I said.
"Of course it will." Tay said as he kissed my cheek. I couldn't wait to get home. Both to Tulsa and Minnesota. I was going to miss everyone in MN, sure, but this had been a dream of mine for years. And everyone told me it'd never happen. ~Well kiss off.~
We all slept on the way there. It became tradition for Mackie to sleep in my lap ever since the flight to Paris. He was such a sweetie. We landed in Minneapolis at around five o'clock.
"Well, Beth, are you ready to go back to Mora?" I asked as we walked to the vans.
"Yeah, I think so." I think we were both kinda unsure about going home though I'm not sure. I just had a feeling something wasn't going to go right.
Beth and I rode in seperate vans so we coud pack faster and whatnot. In my van was me, Tay, Care, Zac, Mackie, and Mom. With Beth was Isaac, Jessica, Avery and Dad. We got to my house at around 6:30pm. I was a little confused as to why there was a car in my driveway that I'd never seen before.
"I wonder who's here." I said as I got my stuff.
"Any other time I'd sacrastically say it was Hanson but that won't work this time." Care laughed.
"No. I don't think so either." Zac laughed too as he took her hand and got out of the van. Taylor had his arm wrapped around me and Mackenzie had my right hand.
"Hey mom I'm--Ricky!! What are you doing here?!!" I almost died. Why did he pick now to come back? I couldn't deal with that right then.
"I told you I'd come back." Ricky said as he eyed Taylor. I looked over at my mom shocked. She just kinda shrugged--her way of saying "sorry". My other family just kinda stood there confused as to what was going on.
"Ricky, would you come with me? We have to talk." I said as I took his shirt and pulled him to my room. I also brought Taylor, he had a right to be there. We got to my room and I slammed the door. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!??!!" I screamed. "Didn't my mom tell you where I was and who I was with?"
"Yeah bu--"
"You had NO right to show up here!! Especially on the day that I'm moving." I yelled.
"I came back for you. You don't even know him." Ricky said referring to Tay. Ricky approached me and put his hands on my shoulders. "We've been through so much. We're meant to be together. He doesn't knkow you like I do. He doesn't love you like I do." At that Taylor stepped in and took Ricky's hands off of me.
"I love her more than you know. How dare you judge me and my relationship with Amy. You have no right." I got shoved out of the way as Ricky got angry and pushed Taylor.
"I have every right. I spent over three years of my life with her. I can't live without her." Taylor was shocked. Ricky turned towards me. "Amy," he got down on his knee. "Come home with me, marry me." And he showed me a gorgeous diamond ring. Taylor lost it and attacked Ricky. Instantly Ricky was on the ground trying to protect his face from Taylor's flying fists.
"You God-dammed son of a bitch!!" Taylor yelled. I was freaking out. ~How could this be happening?~
"QUIT!!" I yelled. "Just stop it!!" I yelled again as I grabbed Taylor's arm. "Please."
Taylor stopped and got off of Ricky. "Ricky I think it's time for you to leave me alone. Get out of my house. Don't ever call me again or try to get a hold of me. I don't love you anymore. I love Taylor with all my heart. No one will ever change that--not even you. Now go home take care of your kid and get me out of your mind." I said with Taylor at my side.
"Fine but don't come crawling back to me when he leaves you." Ricky said and he was gone.
"You know Amy, I'm sorry I lost it." Taylor said as he sat down on my bed. I went to him and got on my knees.
"No, honey it's ok. You had every right to lose it. He really overstepped the boundries that time. I love you." I said as I looked up and our lips touched. He gently took me by the back of my neck and slowly brought me to him as he laid down on my bed. I kissed him passionately and then I kissed him slowly down his neck as his hands found their way up my shirt. He pulled me closer to him as he got further onto the bed and I lost my shirt. He expertly unclasped my bra and kissed between my breasts. Just then Felicia knocked on the door.
"Amy" Both Taylor and I jumped then laughed. "Mom wants you guys to come upstairs. We're going out to eat."
"Okay." I laughed as I found my bra and shirt and put them back on. I kissed Taylor repeatedly as we climbed off the bed. We walked upstairs with my hands in his back pockets. Everyone looked at us somewhat shocked and concerned when we got into the living room.
"What?" I asked as I sat down.
"What happened downstairs? Ricky left in quite a hurry and he looked very upset." Mom said.
"Yeah well he over stepped some pretty obvious boundries and Tay took care of it." I said upset that she would even care.
"I'm sorry, I'm the one that let him in." Felicia said quietly. I could tell she felt bad so I went and sat next to her.
"No, that's ok. I wouldn't have had minded if he just came to say good-bye, but he didn't. He tried to take me back and he insulted Taylor. It's not your fault." I said. "Now, where are we going to eat?"
"I think your mom said Grandma's Kitchen." Diana said. "We're meeting Walker, Isaac, Beth, Avery and Jessica there."
"Ok let's go." Zac said taking Care's hand.
We had a late supper around 7 or so. Beth looked kinda upset. I decided that I'd drive us home--me, Beth, Tay, and Isaac and I'd ask her what was wrong. During supper we talked about Ricky, moving, visiting and the touring.
"So you had fun?" My mom asked.
"Fun would be a drastic understatement." I laughed remembering all that we did. It was definitely the best time of my life.
"Well that's good." We continued to talk over supper and we all left about an hour afterwards.
"So Beth what's wrong?" I asked as we got into my car. She sat in the back with Isaac.
"Joe was at my house when we got there." She said flatly.
"Suck" I said knowing who Joe was.
"Yeah no doubt." She said. "The house was packed. I started to walk upstairs with Ike and he was right there. I wasn't sure what to do so I just introduced Ike and Joe to each other. Joe was an ass and gave Ike the cold shoulder. Then he gave me a box of something. I don't know what because I haven't opened it. Anyway Ike took the box and my suitcases and Joe freaked out. I decided that we should all go for a walk. When I asked him why he was there he had the nerve to tell me he loved me. Then he insulted my honey here. I swear if Isaac didn't have my hand I would've killed him. Then Ike the silly boy told Joe it was my decision as to who I wanted to be with." She looked over at him. "As if he didn't know."
"Well you never know. I thought she'd actually pick him. I was worried." Isaac interrupted.
"That's ok." Beth said as she kissed him. "Anyway Joe knew I was going to pick Isaac and he left."
"Wow" I said.
"Yeah it definitely upset me."
"Well just be happy Joe and Isaac didn't get into a fist fight." I said.
"Like Tay and Ricky, yeah I know."
"Well he had no right to do what he did. He had it coming." Taylor said defensively.
"Yeah honey we know." I said.
"Hey Tay, if I were you I would've done the same thing. It just didn't get that serious between Joe and me. That Ricky kid had A LOT of nerve."
"Thanks Ike." Taylor said, happy that someone was on his side. I drove Ike and Beth back to her house then Tay and I went home.
"I can't believe I'm moving." I said as I packed the rest of my stuff.
"Yeah I know what you mean." Care said. "But it's not like I'm complaining."
"Oh me either. It's just...wierd." I got a lot of phone calls from friends that night saying good-bye and good luck. I told them to keep in touch and gave them the Hanson fan mail address. I didn't want their--no OUR--personal address getting out. My favorite call was from my friend Alicia. She was in shock. She kept saying, "I can't believe it. All these years and it's finally happening." She told me that she was happy for me though and that she'd miss me. "Don't forget me" she finished. I got that a lot--don't forget me. How could I possibly? Even though there were a few I'd like to forget. Like....well we won't name them.
