THE BOY NEXT DOOR

GOODBYE & SURPRISE

Aimee's POV
It's the day. The day Ross is leaving me for 6 months. It's going to be hard for me. He asked me out but then tells me he's leaving. Who the fudge does that?! Like come on!

I was already dressed. I just grabbed my phone and we walked downstairs. It was around 7:45. Crystal and April were also up to say goodbye to the Lynch's.

"Ready?" My mom asked, hugging me. I sighed nodding. "I guess so" I say, walking out of the house to see them packing up the tour bus. They saw me coming and smiled. "RIKER!" Crystal yelled, running over to Riker and he lifts her up.

"Do you have to leave?" Crystal asked, with teary eyes. They got so close over the couple of days. Crystal loves Riker and it's so cute.

The first one I said bye to was of course Stormie and Mark. I'll admit that it was a little awkward because we just made up yesterday.

"I'm so sorry again. We'll miss you!" Stormie smiled.

It was Rocky, Ryland, and then Ratliff's turn. But then came Rydel's turn. I take a deep breath walking up to her. "Listen Rydel, I'm so sorry for everything I did to ruin our relationship. I hope when you get back we could start off new and forgot everything that has happened!" I say, hugging her.

"Of course Aimee. I should be the one apologizing though. I caused most of this drama and I shouldn't have. I'll text you everyday!" She says.

I smiled, moving up to Riker. "Behave kiddo!" Riker says, patting my head. I laughed moving onto Ross. That's when I hugged him tightly not wanting to let go.

"I'm going to miss you so much Ross!" I say, holding back the tears. Knowing I won't see him for 6 months, kills me.

How do I know if he won't forget about me? How will I know if he won't cheat on me?

"Don't worry Aimee. These 6 months will blow by and the next thing we know is that we're in each other's arms again. Just know I'll always be one call away. If you ever need me call me. I'll drop everything I'm doing just to talk to you and help with ever you need help with Aimee. Aimee, I'll never do anything that will make me lose you. You're special and I want you to stay mine! I don't want anyone else to have you! I'm not sharing you with anyone! You're all mine and always will be. You're the one for me. You have nothing to worry about!" He says.

I smiled kissing him. We didn't even realize that the kiss lasted for 2 minutes until Mark faked coughed.

"Ready? We have to hit the road!" Mark says.

We all say one more goodbyes and they all gathered up on the tour bus. Once the tour bus left, my phone went off. I looked to see Ross texted me. "I miss you already 😜🙄"

I laughed at his silliness. "I miss you too! Be safe!" I texted back. I slip my phone into my back pocket and smiled at my family.

"You okay?" Mom asked.

I take a deep breath smiling. "You know what? I think I'm going to be perfectly fine! I trust Ross! I mean, I have no reason not to trust him, do I?" I say. They smiled hugging me.

"Aimee, do you think maybe I could talk to Riker, when you talk to Ross?" Crystal asked grabbing my hand. "Of course!" I say, walking inside.

I throw myself onto the couch tired and everyone else sits down except for my mom and Bryan.

I looked at them as they smirked. "Don't get too comfortable. You have to get up again!" Bryan says.

"Why?!" I groaned, rubbing my tired eyes. "Because we have to go to the store!" my mom smirked. "Why?!" I jumped up.

"SURPRISE! We're going to the jersey shore for a few days and we need to get new sandals, bathing suits, and a few outfits!" They both say together. "OMG!" I yelled, excitedly with Crystal, April, and even Connor.

"WELL, IF YOU WANNA LEAVE THEN GO UPSTAIRS AND GET READY!" My mom yelled, happily. I quickly ran up the stairs with everyone following behind me.

"OMG AIMEE! WE'RE GOING ON A VACATION TOGETHER!" Crystal yelled, jumping up and down. I laughed at her cuteness and grabbed my purse. I made sure I had my phone in my pocket. After we got the girls ready, we went downstairs to see everyone ready.

"WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!" I yelled, slamming the front door opened. "WAITING FOR YOU!" Connor laughed.

"ME?! I WAS WAITING FOR YOU!" I yelled, grabbing April's and Crystal's hands, running to the car practically pulling them. "I have a feeling this trip to the jersey shore is going to be......crazy!" I heard Connor tell my mom.

"IT'S GOING TO BE CRAZY AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT!" I yelled, jumping on Connor and he caught me. He rolled his eyes playfully putting me down.

We all get in the car and Bryan started driving. "Mom! Can you turn the radio on please!" I asked my mom so Bryan could focus on driving. "Yea!" She says, turning the radio up.

"OOOOOO! Do you have a Shawn Mendes CD?!" April asked, excitedly. "YES! TURN SHAWN MENDES ON!" I yelled. My mom laughed turning it on.

Me and April were jamming and singing until my phone started to ring. I answered as my mom lowered the music. "Hey Ross!" I say, excitedly.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Nothing much. We just got settled in the hotel and just finished rehearsing for the concert for tomorrow morning!"

"Sounds fun!"

"Yea! Where are you going?"

"The store. We're getting some stuff to bring to the jersey shore tomorrow!"

"Omg! That's awesome baby! I have two shows in New York and then we're going straight to New Jersey for a few days! We should totally visit you guys!"

"Yasssss"

"Aimee, can I talk to Riker?" Crystal whispered to me. I smiled at Ross. We were facetiming in case you didn't know.

"Hey babe. Crystal wants to talk to Riker!"

"Daaaang! Crystal, why don't you wanna talk to me!"

"Because I'm a Riker's girl!" Crystal giggled, popping into the camera so Ross could see her.

Ross pouts and I laughed. "Don't worry Ross! I'm a Ross's girl!" April says, popping into the camera. Ross chuckled handing Riker the phone. "Did my girl wanna talk to me?" Riker smirked, as I handed Crystal my phone.

"Hey Riker!" Crystal exclaimed, giggling. She giggles when she gets excited. "Hey baby. What's up!" Riker asked.

"I miss you!"

"Awe. I miss you too! But don't worry. We might be able to see each other in a few days!"

"GUYS, CAN YOU COME HERE!" Ryland yelled, from the other side of the phone. "I have to go. I love you!"

"I love you Rikey!"

"DON'T FORGET RIKER! SHE'S ONLY 4!" Bryan laughed, from the driving seat. "YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT SIR!" Riker laughed, hanging up.

Crystal gave me my phone and I smiled. "Happy?" I asked. She nods uncontrollably. I laughed at her cuteness and we got to the store. We hurried out of the car and started walking towards the store.

I was behind everyone so I smirked and ran up behind Bryan and jumped onto his back. He almost fell but caught himself.

I saw mom who took a picture of us with April and Crystal next to us and Bryan was holding me on his back. "Damn Aimee. You're jumpy!" Connor laughed.

"This is what we have to deal with everyday!" My mom laughed. I was still on Bryan's back. "I don't mind. I'm going to have so much fun!" Bryan says, running into the store with me laughing on his back.

People were staring but we didn't care. People were laughing but we didn't care. All we cared about was how much fun we were having embarrassing ourselves.
