Edited: 01/07/2022

"Was it a small peck or was it a sexy, steamy kiss?" Katie asked, wanting to know all of the details.

"The first kiss was a very passionate kiss" I smiled, touching my lips as a replayed the memory, "and then the rest of the kisses were a mixture."

"Exactly how many kisses were there?" Alex laughed.

"I lost count" I sighed dreamily.

"Oh god, I am jealous. Alex, kiss me" Noah joked which instantly made Alex blush.

Alex, Katie, and Noah had all come over this morning to help me pack since mum was finally coming home today. They had also come over to gossip about the kiss, or kisses, between Caleb and I last night.

Mum's flight was supposed to be coming in at around five P.M. so the plan was to finish packing up my room and then go to my house, clean up and make mum's favourite dish.

"Thank you for inviting me over by the way" Alex smiled, sitting beside Noah.

"Of course, you are one of us now" Katie said.

"Where are you thinking about going to university?" I asked Alex.

Shaking his head, "I actually do not think that I am going to go to university. My family owns an auto repair business, so I am currently doing an apprenticeship whilst in school. They own multiple shops around the state and are currently opening another one here so that is why we moved" he stated, "what about you guys?"

"I am wanting to do secondary education; Katie wants to do physiology and Noah is thinking about nursing. We are all hoping to go to Greendale University" I explained.

"Fair enough, we have a shop not far from there" Alex smiled.

"Wow, really? If we all get into Greendale, we are wanting to buy a house together. If we do, the offer is open to you as well" Noah smiled.

"Really?" he asked, genuinely surprised.

"Yeah, absolutely" Katie said.

"Alright, I think that is about it" I said, zipping up the last bag.

Katie, Noah, and Alex helped me take my bags down to the car before leaving which left me in the house with Noah and Tori.

"Hey beautiful" Caleb said, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Hey yourself" I smiled, kissing his cheek.

"It is not going to be the same without you" he said, nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck.

"I am going to miss you so much" I sighed, breathing in his scent.

"Are you guys together?" Tori asked, standing outside my door.

We both looked at each other not knowing what to say. "Ummm no?" I said as more of a question.

"Stop being nosey" Caleb laughed.

"I just came to say that I am going to miss her" she pouted.

I smiled at how beautiful this girl is, "you are so sweet, I am going to miss you too" I said, hugging her.

"Promise you will still come over?" she asked.

"Yes, of course. I will be here all the time; it will be like I never left" I said sadly.

I wanted to cry. These guys have been like my family for almost six weeks and they have helped me during some of the most challenging times of my life.

"You guys are going to make me cry" I said, as tears threatened to spill.
