8. Caught off guard

It was the first of November. I guess time really does fly by. I was wearing a simple grey sweater and a pair of jeans. My hair was in a ponytail and I had no makeup on. Eric said that he had some news that he wasn't going to tell me about until Christmas Day. When the whole family except from Jane would be with us. Me, Eric and Kylie's suitcases were all by the door. Jane was dropping us off at the airport. Ash and Conan had stayed over seeming as it would be the last time we would see each other until April. They went home at 10 and it was currently 1 in the afternoon.

"I'm not ready to leave." I told Kylie as I walked downstairs. My Nan had arrived two weeks ago to pickup Jinx and Roscoe, so they were with my dad.

"I know you're not. And you had a very emotional goodbye when you woke up." Kylie told me as we stopped on the bottom stair.

"I'm gonna put the suitcases in the car." I said to her with a smile.

"I'll sort out the snacks." Kylie told me.

"My dear sister, if you call me to help me with the suitcases I will help." Eric said from behind me and Kylie. "But for now, I'll just watch some classic telly." He added barging past me and Kylie.

"Hey, Eric." I said to him.

"Yes?" He asked while turning around.

"I'm glad that you've changed. From a roadman back to the little brother that I remember." I said to him while hugging him.

"And I'm glad that you're more yourself." He said to me before we pulled away. I went over to the suitcases and took Eric's first seeming as it was the lightest. I grabbed Jane's car keys, so I could unlock the car and also so I could unlock the boot. I opened the front door and walked over to the car. I then unlocked boot and I opened it before fitting Eric's suitcase in there. I went back inside the house and got Kylie's. I led it down before getting my suitcase and placed it on the top. I shut the boot and made sure that I locked. The sound of a door opening made me turn around. Conan approached me.

"Hey." I told him. I decided to sit on the boot of the car because my legs felt weak from lifting up my suitcase.

"Hey. I thought I'd say goodbye again. Because I don't know the next time I'm going to see you seeming as when you get back I'll be in California." He told me while sitting next to me.

"So this is basically the last time that we'll see each other until, you come back here or unless I visit you." I told him while looking at him.

"Technically we can still call each other." He said making me laugh.

"Yeah but you won't live next door to me and no more late nights at the diner talking about random shit." I said making him laugh.

"I'm gonna miss you when you're on tour. Remember to call me and tell me about all the crazy adventures you have." He told me. I turned on the boot of the car and hugged him, he hugged me back. After we pulled away, we both sat there in silence.

"I should probably see what Eric and Kylie are doing." I said while getting off the boot of the car.

"Wait." Conan said. I stopped and turned around.

"Yes-" I started before I was cut off by Conan kissing me.

"I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry. I should go." He said awkwardly.

"Now this is where I tell you to wait." I told him. He stopped. I walked over to him and lightly kissed him. "I'll text you when I land." I said before running into the house.

"Hey, Jess come here!" Eric called out to me.

"Yes. Before you say anything I was caught off guard I had no idea what was happening then I got caught up in the moment." I told him while pointing at him.

"I was going to say did you manage with the suitcases. What were you talking about?" He said to me.

"Nothing, I don't know what your talking about." I told him but he gave me the look. "Fine, I'll tell you but you can't tell Kylie." I told him while sitting next to him.

"You know I won't." He told me.

"Me and Conan kissed. Twice." I told him. He smiled at me.

"I always knew it was gonna happen. Me and Melinda knew it." Eric said. Melinda was his model girlfriend from Germany. They were so loved up it made me sick.

"I hate how your 17 and I'm almost 18 and you're already saying shit that I don't even know myself. You understand me more than I do." I told him. When it was half past we left for the airport and got on the plane home. Kylie took this as a photo opportunity.

"Here you go Eric." I said while passing the bottle back to him.

"Gee, thanks." He told me. He patted me on the head with the bottle. Before taking it and putting it in his bag. When we landed we went through customs and then we ran to baggage claim. After I got my suitcase me and Eric were told that dad was picking us up. We walked to the area with the taxi drivers and families waiting to pickup their kids or partners. I looked around and saw my dad, Jackie, Mikayla and Sam with a sign that read 'welcome home Y/n and Eric!' In different coloured sharpies. I handed my suitcase to Kylie and ran over to the them. I picked Micky up and hugged Dad.

"I missed you guys so much." I said before putting Micky down and hugging Sam. Then Jackie.

"A lot has changed. Mainly two things. Me and Jackie got engaged after 2 months because I just know she's the one and she moved in as well." Dad said with a smile once Eric came over.

"Hopefully it won't be like when you and mum lived together." Eric told him.

"Y/n, is keeping something from us." Kylie said as we got into the car. "Eric knows but he ain't saying nothing." Kylie added as we buckled our seatbelts in. Dad started driving out of the parking garage of Heathrow airport.

"Sweetie, just say what happened because we won't judge you." Jackie told us. She was so much nicer than Jane.

"Me and um, uh, me and Conan kissed. Twice." I said before looking out the window.

"I'm knew that was gonna happen." Kylie said, I could tell she had a smile on her face.

"Who exactly is Conan?" Jackie asked I guess to anyone.

"Our neighbour and one of Y/n's friends." Eric told him.

"Does that mean that Y/n/n has a boyfriend?" Sam asked dad.

"No, well not yet at least." Dad said not wanting his eldest daughter to grow up.
