Hai dere! READ THE STORY BELOW(: Feel free to comment, vote, and fan! Thanks(:
Vinny leaves today. I sighed and stretched my arms in his bed. After hanging out together on Thursday, Mrs. Castronovo wanted to know if I just wanted to spend the night and drop him off together. So here I was. Last night was pretty normal. We Ustreamed and told the fans what was going on, watched a movie, and swam a little bit. Bianca had decided it was time for sleep and we all kind of crashed in Vinny’s room. I had already been curled in the soft, brown covers on Vinny’s bed before everyone else had gotten in the room, so that’s where I slept.
I glanced around the room and saw Vinny packing a bag beside his closet. “Why are you just now packing?” I asked while trying to hold back laughter. He jumped but turned around towards me. “You’re up! And to answer your question, I’m just adding an extra outfit.” I laughed and crawled out of the bed. “Need help?” I questioned. He shook his head. I walked over to him and bumped his hip. He bumped back. “How’d you sleep?” I smiled.
“Pretty good, your bed is soft.”
He chuckled. “Yeah I know, it’s better than the floor.”
I cracked up. “You slept on the floor? Why?”
He grinned. “You were already there when I came in and you looked so comfortable. I didn’t want to wake you up.” There he goes again, being all sweet. Why did he have to leave?

I walked down his creaking stairs, heading towards the kitchen. “HAY GURL HAY.” Bianca shouted at me. I jumped but, recovered by laughing. Strangely, Bianca has become a very close friend of mine since Vinny and I have been dating. She’s like two years older than me but, you wouldn’t be able to tell. I began to follow Vinny into the kitchen when I was pulled aside by Bianca.
“Okay, I know that you’re upset that we’re leaving. I mean, who wouldn’t be?” She patted her hair for extra effect. “But, you cannot, and I mean CANNOT, act sad around Vinny. He told me last night after you were asleep that he didn’t think he could do it. He doesn’t want to leave you for even three weeks, okay? Stay strong for him. That means you can’t cry when we drop him off.” I let out a shaky laugh and nodded. She smiled and pushed me back into the kitchen. Literally. I landed right on the seat that Vinny was about to sit in. “Hey there.” He said quietly. I giggled. “Sorry your sister push-“ Bianca came into the kitchen laughing. “BEAUTIES ALWAYS WIN!” Vinny rolled his eyes. “Whatever. GRANDerz all the way!” Sighing, I stepped between them. They continued fighting, even after I held up a hand in their faces. “GUYS,’’ -they silenced.- “stop fighting!”
They both looked down at me, then back each other. A creepy smile played on Vinny’s lips. “Whatever you do, don’t tickle me.” Bianca laughed softly. Vinny picked me up, bridal style, and carried me over to the living room. I was yelling at him the whole time. He stopped walking when he reached the couch. I took this as an opportunity to be put down. I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. “Vin, will you pretty, pretty please put me down?” I added a pout. He looked into my eyes, still smiling. “Sure babe.” I smiled sweetly on the outside but, grinned mischievously on the inside. Then he dropped me. I landed on the couch, which was apparently, all part of his plan. He sat on my legs, pinning me down, and leaned over my face. “Do you enjoy being tickled?” He whispered. Franticly, I shook my head. This encouraged him more. He began tickling me. First, my sides, which was my worst tickle spot. Then, he moved to my stomach. “Stoppp!” I squealed. He chuckled. “Not until you admit that I’m the greatest dancer in the world and that you love me more than air. AND that GRANDerz are the best fan base ever.” Well maybe, if you would stop tickling me for half a second, I could speak! I struggled with my words. The first line was complete truth so it was easier. “Vinny…Cast-tronovo is the greatest dancer in the world,” I had to pause for a laugh attack, “and I love him more than air.” He continued tickling me. “And?” He egged on. I finished before I had another laugh attack. “AndGRANDerzarethebestfanbaseever.” He squeezed my sides once more, then kissed my forehead. “Thanks sweetie.” He said in that adorable little accent of his. I looked up from his face and saw Bianca on her phone. “Whatcha doing there, B?” She looked up and grinned. “Oh just posting that video to my personal Facebook and Twitter." I groaned. Now everyone in the world would know I was crazy ticklish. I looked back at Vinny. He was also on his IPhone. “Hey, um, Vinny? Wanna get off my legs?” He looked at where he was still sitting and chuckled. “Alright.” He stood up. I also stood, stretching my sore-tickled muscles.
Mr. Castronovo came into the room. “Hey kiddos, we’re gonna have to leave in about thirty minutes to catch our plane at four.” Bianca nodded and I looked at the clock. It was only 1:30. Long drive! Vinny looked at me. “Crazy photo shoot on the way to the airport?” I laughed and nodded. I sat back down on their couch, placing a pillow under my head. Vinny sat beside me and turned the TV on. “SpongeBob?” I asked, when I saw his choice of show. He grinned. “He’s jolly.” I rolled my eyes but watched the square, yellow figure run around. After the show ended, Mr. Castronovo re-entered the room. “Dad, look at what this fan made!” Vinny handed his phone to his dad. It was a picture of the fish on SpongeBob at Krusty Krab saying “We should have gone to Albivi’s!”. Vinny thought it was hilarious.

After we were all loaded up into the car, Mr. Castronovo spoke. “Alright guys, Emily is gonna pick you up at the airport, and I’m taking Hannah home.” We all nodded. Bianca was sitting up front with Mr. Castronovo and I had the back with Vinny. Alessandra and Mrs. Castronovo were already there. As soon as the car started moving, Vinny and I both got out our IPhones. I went to my camera, as did Vinny. We posed for about thirty silly pictures and posted about three to our personal Facebook’s. My phone lit up with a Facebook notification. It was Mikey commenting on one of the pictures. “HEY CENZO. No stealing my swag! I took a picture like that too!” I scrolled up to the picture and giggled when I figured out what he was talking about. Vinny was kissing my cheek and I was making a silly face. He was referring to a picture of him and Montana. Vinny looked over at me when I giggled and I showed him the comment. He grinned and commented on the picture, still logged in on my account. “Hey man, sorry but I don’t think ‘Minny’ is gonna work out- From Vinny.” I died from laughter. Legit. He smiled at me and handed my phone back.
I pulled my headphones from my bag and handed Vinny an ear bud. He took it and put it in his ear. I put it on shuffle and the first song that played was “Just the Way You Are”. Vinny looked right at me with the biggest smile on his face. This was our song. Warmth flooded through my body and my toes tingled. I was enjoying every moment with him until he left. I put my phone between us and I shifted to where I was laying on his shoulder. He looked down at my eyes and smiled softly. He grabbed a strand of my hair and began playing with it; wrapping it around his finger and twisting it. I shivered. I loved it when people played with my hair. The song changed. “Without You”. I saw him smile again. I laughed at shuffle. “It’s on shuffle, Vin.” He looked at me and cracked up. I shrugged. Not my doings. I caught Bianca glance back at us and smile. Mr. Castronovo noticed as well. My phone buzzed.

We got to the airport at 3:30. I found a comfy chair to sit in by the window, and sat down. Vinny waltzed over and sat down on my lap. I coughed out of surprise. “I’m sorry! I didn’t see you there. Reverse this!” I rolled my eyes but stood to let him sit down, then I sat down on his lap. “So, tell me about your show in Texas.” I questioned, hoping to take some of the awkward silence out of the air. “Well, Alessandra’s gonna sing, I’ll dance, Bebo will dance, and Bianca will host. It should be fun.” I imagined him in the middle of a bunch of screaming girls. I felt sorry for him, he was self- conscience in front of his fans but, I know that they all think he’s perfect. “PLANE 64B LEAVES FOR DALLAS, TEXAS IN TEN MINUTES. I REPEAT, PLANE 64B LEAVES FOR DALLAS, TEXAS IN TEN MINUTES.” The voice-over spoke, warning me that I’d soon be missing Vinny. He turned to me, “I’ll see you in three weeks! I’ll call you or Skype you every night though. It’ll be like I never left!” I smiled and nodded. “Of course! I hope you have fun and I hope you meet lots of GRANDerz.” As he smiled again and leaned in to hug me, I remembered Bianca’s words. Don’t cry, Hannah. You can do this. He kissed the top of my head. “I love you.” He whispered. My breath caught in my throat. He had never told me that before. I mean, he did when we were just messing around, kind of like this morning. But this, this was for real. I whispered back, “I love you too; more than air.” He smiled at my response and turned away to find Bianca. Bianca ran over to me and gave me a hug. “I’ll miss you!” Then she whispered, “Way to stay strong.” I smiled. “I’ll miss you B! Have fun and take care of Vincent for me.” She smiled and hugged me again.
After we were finished with goodbyes, they turned to leave, dragging their suitcases behind them. When Vinny was almost to a corner, he looked back and waved. I blew a kiss and he pretended to catch it and put it in his pocket. I smiled and waved. Then, he disappeared from my sight. I stood there in the airport for a minute or two with a dumb expression on my face. He loves me. Mr. Castronovo patted my back. “Let’s go home.”
