Chapter 3 - Goodbyes

[Kylie's pov]

When Jody dropped me off at home, I immediately went to take a shower, feeling overwhelmed with all these emotions.

That was a few hours ago, feeling much better I decide to start getting ready for my going away dinner party, seeing as everything was packed and ready for me to leave.

I had time to just lay back and relax. So now I have to lift my lazy procrastinating ass and get my outfit for tonight.

Going through the few things left in my closet I decide on a black flower dress, and some wedges, taking my hair out of thr bun and and letting it loose only applying minimal lip gloss.

I go downstairs to find everything prepared and mama and papa already waiting to recieve guests.

I go to them and kiss them. "I'm going to miss everyone and everything here, I'm going to miss you guys" I say looking up to papa then moving to look at my mothers tearful state and then engulf them both for hugs before they can reply.

I just hold them. I dont know how long we've been standing like this but the doorbell snaps us out of it.

"I'll get it!!" screams mama excitedly as she practically runs to meet our guest, papa and I stand back and watch her clearly amused.

As she opens the door, in walks Mason, Kyle, Jody, Jason, Hudson and Jackson all looking handsome as hell, smiling their Colgate white smiles, one for one kissing mommas forehead, shaking papas hand.

Mama and papa love these boys, they are practically their other kids. The moment papa saw how protective the boys were over me he instantly took a liking to them and the rest is history.

Being boys they ran straight to the kitchen smelling the delicious food and started munching, ehh what can I say they are hungry baboons.

Giggling softly I watch them stuff their faces with food. Mama walks in slapping their heads, I start laughing hard as she scolds them for having no patience.

Awwwwww I sigh looking at there puppy dog faces, poor hungry babies.

Not much later guests start arriving, friends, neighbors, classmstes, teachers woah Mama and Papa almost invited the entire town.

As we all sat around talking and eating I cant help but feel content, I'll miss them but they will always be there for me they are without a doubt family and for the first time today I feel like its time and I'm ready to start the next chapter in my life.

As people start leaving saying their farewells to me and wishing the best for me, I cant help but start feeling even more excited than I was all day! Is that even possible?

The people that are left are the people I hold close to my heart. As I sit on the sofa watching them converse amongst one another I cant help but feel like they stalling.

They dont want to say goodbye, the thought alone causes a traitor tear to slip. I quickly wipe it away knowing Kyle's strict parents will be wanting him home soon he'll be coming over to me in 5 4 3 2 1.

"Uhm hey little one" says Kyle smiling fondly at me, I pat the space next to me and he sits. This is going to be hard.

Out of our group Kyle has always been the most mature, humble and very caring one. Anything you ever need and Kyle's your man. He always has everything you need. Im going to miss him.

"This is not goodbye so I'm going to make it short and sweet. We'll see each other again and until then let me tell you now I'm going to miss you, you our little girl we going to go crazy having no one to watch over" he says laughing.

"I hope the best for you, and that you are a success in that art school of yours" he says as he kisses my forehead and heads out before I can say anything.

He was never one to deal too well with emotions. I smile knowing I'll see him again, he promised.

Since Kyle had to have the balls and say goodbye, my boys are one for one coming to say goodbye.

Hudson comes over and starts with "Little one you call me, if anyone fucks with you I'm a call a way and dont you dare ever think its too much trouble because I'll be there to kick ass you got me?

Please be safe! I also know you can handle yourself I mean ehh you learnt from the best" he I says pointing to himself.

I laugh thinking back to all the self defense classes I got taught by him. "Kylie don't be too sad I promise we'll visit soon" he says in a more serious tone.

I can tell he's being serious since he used my real name.

"Dont worry Hudson, I'll call and I'll be safe. Look after yourself and the boys I'll call you guys as much as I can I promise" I say as I go and hug him, he kisses my forehead and leaves.

Mason doesn't show emotions either so he just comes and hold me for a few minutes, kisses my forehead, winks and skips outta here like a happy school girl. He has me laughing at his silliness which is exactly what he wanted.

"Now you listen and you listen good missy, I dont want to be coming down to Jacksonville and kill anyone who fucks with you so stay outta trouble you hear? Ohh and call me the moment you spot a fine ass, bossy, 'I know what I want' she... I mean uhm gal you hear" Jason says and I laugh shaking my head there's that aggressive lady's man I know.

"Call me too but I don't care about any of that he just said just fine ass, you know I love me some fine ass a quick bang you know what I mean.

On a serious note I'm going to miss you little one, be safe and I hope you find everything you looking for" says Jackson with a wink.

"I'll be sure to call you guys, fine ass, bossy, 'I know what I want' kinda gal and just a fine ass, quick bang I got it" I say laughing.

"I'm going to miss you boys take care of yourselves and the gang. Momma bear out" they laugh as I salute them.

As I walk them to the door they both kiss my forehead and say their last goodbyes. As they get into their cars I wave them one last goodbye.

I walk back in to see Jody and my parents clearing the house up, I start helping, picking up dirty dishes and covering up leftover food.

When we were finally finished clearing up. Jody goes to put my bags in the car. Jody will be driving with my parents and I to Jacksonville to help get me settled in.

Im thankful he's going with so that my Papa doesn't have to drive a whole ten hours behind the wheel himself.

When he comes back inside "Lets get this show on the road" Papa says in a british accent and we all laugh and head out, mama locking the door.

Before I get into the car I take one last look at the only home I've ever known and with one final nod I get in the car ready for my new adventure.

As we drive through my town to leave I cant help but remember all the fun times I had with my family and friends in this place I'm going to miss it.

As we pass the board saying "Thanks for visiting brookewood" I take one last look behind and mentally say goodbye.
