The tour has been good so far. Nothing too special, the same as most. Yesterday was my Graduation day! Cody and I snuck a flight back to California. We don't have a show today so it was okay for him to come with.
When we got to the airport, Ryan was waiting on the tarmack for us. I ran over to him and hugged him close. He wasn't able to get to a show yet but when we fly back to the rest of the crew, he's gonna come with us.
The day started after we got in the car.
"How was the flight guys?" Ryan asked, his free hand stretched across the center console to hold mine.
"Good." We both answered.
He smiled, "that's good." He waited a moment before he said more, "your family is at my house."
"Really?" I asked, excited.
He smiled, "yeah. They got in last night."
"Yay!" I said, excited.
Cody and Ryan laughed and we stayed quiet the rest of the drive. By the time we got to Ryan's it was lunch time. Ryan swung the front door open and carried my duffel-bag inside. Cody and I followed, the sound of little paws coming closer was apparent. Dollar came around the corner and right to me. A smile was apparent on his face.
"Hey Buddy!" I smiled and bent down, picking him up.
His tail wagged the entire time. The three of us walked into the house. We found Shane and Tony first; they were playing pool. "Hey!" They called out, they set their sticks aside and walked to us. They both hugged me then shook Cody's hand. "How's it been?" Tony asked.
"It's been good. Glad to take a break for a day." Cody and I laughed.
Ryan continued into the house with my bag while the 4 of us kept talking. Ryan peeked his head back in the room, "babe." I looked up, "your family."
"Coming!" I smiled and walked to him. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead as he led me to the kitchen. "Mom! Dad!" I smiled as I walked into the room.
"Jordyn!" They rushed over and hugged me.
"Aye!" Jake said, wrapping me in a bear hug. Then Jesse and I hugged.
"How's the tour been?" My dad asked.
"It's been good. Busy."
We began talking about everything and anything and how happy I was about graduating. All the while, Ryan just stood behind me with his arms wrapped around my shoulders; his chin resting on my head. Occasionally when someone else was talking he would lean down and kiss my neck or cheek. After a while we decided to order pizza. Ryan and I headed into the other room to call. Once Ryan hung up with Pizza Hut he wrapped me in his arms.
I burried my face in his chest, breathing in his scent. My memory had not done it justice. It was the frist time we'd been able to be alone since I got off the plain. He pulled back and lifted my face to his, his nose rubbed against mine before he tilted his head. His warm breath washed over my lips before he captured my lower lip with his. Our lips moved together for a moment before his lingered on mine then he pulled back. "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," I whispered back. His smile reflected mine.
He leaned in and kissed me once more before saying, "we should get back before they send out a search team."
We laughed and returned to the living room where everyone was talking. We rejoined the conversation until the pizza came.
It finally came to dinner time. I stood in the closet, pulling on my dress when Ryan came in. "You ready?"
"Yeah, can you zip me up?" He walked over and held the bottom, swiftly pulling the zipper to the top. "Thanks."
"You're welcome," he put his hands on my waist and turned me to him. "You look very beautiful Jordyn."
"Thank you," I smiled. He kissed me lightly before offering me his hand. I took it and he led me upstairs where everyone else was waiting. His parents and Kane were going to meet us at the restaurant.
Dinner was a buzz of multiple different conversations seeing as there was 13 of us as Justin also came. Before we got our desert, I went to the bathroom. On my way out, a pair of rough hands caught me before I ran into the person who owned them. "I'm sorry," I said, looking up. When I did, I found the familiar blue eyes of Matt. "Matt." I said.
"Hey," he smiled. "It's cool, didn't think I'd see you at graduation."
"Ah yeah, I had the day off so Cody and I flew in."
"That's good, glad you could have a normal graduation." He smiled.
"Yeah, me too." I returned the smile. "So how've you been?"
"Good, real good. I'm going to play football at Berkeley."
"That's great!" I hugged him.
"Thanks. So how's Ryan?" He asked genuinely.
I smiled, "he's good. It's been hard being away but everything's great."
"That's real good." He smiled, "I suppose I should let you get back to your family."
"Yeah, well it was good talking to you again."
"You too." He smiled warmly. "I'll see ya at graduation."
"Yeah." I smiled. We hugged once more before I walked back to the table.
"What took so long?" Ryan asked as I sat down.
"I ran into Matt." He eyed me as if he was expecting a bad story. I smiled, "everything's fine. It was nice."
"That's good." He smiled and kissed my temple. Our desert arrived and then we continued onto school. Graduation was going to be held at Thalassa Stadium. When we got there, we tried to find a place where we could take pictures without the paparazzi getting in the way. We finally found a place between the school and the pool. After, we walked to the stadium I had to say goodbye to everyone and join my classmates. Ryan kissed me on my forehead before catching up to our families.
The ceremony flew by in my mind. Before I knew it, I was handing my name card to the announcer. "Jordyn Ambrosia Evander." I heard both Ryan and my families shouts and cheers as I crossed the stage. I reached my principal and he handed me my diploma and shook my hand. "Congratulations Jordyn," he smiled.
"Thank you."
I shook a few more hands then walked off stage. A photographer was stopping everyone half way down the off ramp. I returned to my seat and we were soon walking off the field. I spent a few minutes talking and taking pictures with my friends before heading to find my family.
Ryan was the first to encircle me in his arms. "Congratulations," he whispered in my ear.
"Thank you," I smiled as he kissed me.
"Alright Ryan, don't hog the graduate for yourself." My mom laughed.
"Yeah honey, you will have your time later." Gretchen added.
He smiled and winked then stepped away so I could hug everyone else. I'd like to say that I was able to go out to a bunch of parties that night, but I wasn't. We all had to go home to sleep so we could wake up early and catch our flights. Ryan's family said goodnight and have a safe flight then went home. Justin said, "congratulations shawty," then said goodbye to Cody and left. The rest of us returned to Ryan's.
Tony, Shane, Cody, and my siblings went to bed while Ryan, my parents, and I sat up and talked for a bit.
"I'm proud of you and everything you've done in the past couple years." My dad said before he went to bed.
"Thanks Daddy." I said, hugging him. He kissed my forehead then headed to bed. "Goodnight Mom." I smiled.
"Goodnight dear. I'm proud of you too. Love you."
"Love you." She followed after my dad and left Ryan and I alone in the living room. I turned to him and he was smiling at me. "What?" I asked.
He shook his head as he wrapped his arms around me. "I'm just very proud of you. And... I wish we had more than a couple days."
"Me too, but you're coming to Madison next weekend right?"
He nodded, "of course." He leaned down and kissed me lightly. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We laughed as he turned towards the stairs and carried me down. He laid me on the bed, "you sure? Don't we have to get up early?"
I laughed and shrugged, "I'll sleep on the plain."
He smiled and kissed me deeply. His lips were soon on my neck and our clothes eventually ended up in a pile at the end of the bed. "I love you and miss you every second you're away Jordyn." He whispered as I drifted off to sleep with his arms wrapped tightly around me.
I woke up early this morning to find Ryan in the shower. When he saw me walk in the bathroom, he ran his hands over his face and smiled at me. I smiled back and set to brushing my teeth. Soon after, my family was heading to their terminal while Cody, Ryan, and I were headed in the opposite direction to ours. When we got on the plain, I snuggled into Ryan's side and feel asleep.
We're back on the bus now. Ryan, Cody, and Tom are watching a movie while I decided to write and catch up with Alli.
Wow, long entry. Nothing left to say, haha. Night <3
