Last chapter. I can't believe this story is finished! It only took a whole week.
"What happened?" Jacob called as Natalie turned around. "Or did you forget something?" He asked. I nodded and Jason poked his head over the top of Moose.
"Uh I think you forgot to say goodbye." He quipped. I giggled and slipped under Shonnie's arm before catching her in a hug.
"Number one rule of best friends." I said. "Never leave without a hug." A tear fell down her cheek and she laughed as Twin Two fell to his knees, begging her not to go.
"I'm gonna miss you guys." She said, stepping towards them. I smiled slightly and retreated to Shonnie's side. She caught my eye and grinned.
"It's about time." She muttered. I scowled as everyone laughed and flipped her off before pulling into the group for a hug.
"Group hug is karma." I said to her before laughing. She sniffed and stepped back, searching the group.
"Where's Luke?" She asked. I ducked my head, playing with my sleeve. Jacob started to shake his head before freezing. I cocked my head and followed his line of sight before breaking out in a massive grin. I nudged Shonnie and he followed my finger before beaming. He opened his mouth and I hit his side with my elbow, jerking my head towards Natalie, as she started towards him. I bit my lip, my heart feeling like it's bursting, because of them. I gasped when they kissed and chuckled.
"About time." I murmured to myself while slapping Anala's hand.
"Give her heart." Shonnie called. I choked and hit his head.
"Don't be a mood wrecker." I scolded. "They're just getting into it-mmph!" I shut up as Shonnie kissed me. I froze and he grinned into it, wrapping his arms around my waist and lifting me onto his feet. I pulled away reluctantly, breathing a bit heavier.
"That's cheating." I muttered and he shrugged.
"It works." He replied. Suddenly, he let out a choked gasp and stared behind me. I cocked my head and twisted before nearly dropping to the floor.
"Oh my god." I said before nearly screeching with happiness. "My cousin, my little Moose, is….oh my." I said, leaning into Shonnie. He chuckled and tightened his grip on me.
"Can I kiss somebody?" He asked cheekily. I scoffed and poked his hand.
"Later." I promised. He smirked and nodded.
"I'm holding you to that." He whispered as I hugged Moose.
"Moose, Reanna." We turned as Luke thrust two boxes into our hands. I cocked my head and glanced at him before shoving the box into Jason's hands and lunging for Luke, tears gathering in my eyes.
"You were the best brother I could ever have asked for." I whispered thickly. "I know you're gonna call and stuff, so why does this feel like goodbye?" I asked. He hugged me tightly, stroking my hair.
"It's not." He said. "I'll visit some time, you'll see." He promised before letting go and walking back.
"Take care of the house guys." He said, looking pointedly at the Ticks. They held their hands up and I laughed, wiping a tear off my cheek. Jason squeezed my shoulder and handed the box back to me. I glanced at Moose, who was already tearing into his box, before carefully taking the lid off and peeling the paper back. I nearly dropped the box. Luckily Shonnie grabbed it, grinning at me.
"Yeah that's right Princess." He said, handing me a pair of bright rainbow custom Nike Dunks. "They're yours now." My jaw dropped and I snatched them back, sitting down and frantically pulling my shoes off, before stuffing my feet into the new ones almost reverently. I grinned and stood up, twisting from side to side, and lifting my foot up. The Pirates chuckled and I looked up to see Luke and Natalie walk off. I took a deep breath and sighed, looking to Jacob.
"This is it, isn't it?" I asked him. "No more Luke, more of Jacob." I grinned and reached up, ruffling his head. He rolled his eyes but grinned nonetheless.
"Let's go party people." Moose said, wrapping an arm around Camille. I grinned and shoved my old shoes in my bag before jumping on Shonnie's back.
"Last one to the car has to cook dinner." I called over my shoulder as Shonnie trotted up the stairs.
I grinned, using Shonnie's stomach as a pillow, as I logged into my emails. Nothing interesting was there, just a few notifications for my Facebook, and one from an unknown. I yawned and clicked on the unknown before blinking and starting to read. Suddenly, I shot up, ignoring Shonnie's complaining, and tore down the stairs.
"Jacob!" I shouted. "Jacon we have a really big problem!" I yelled, looking for our new leader. He appeared in the entrance to the kicthen, wiping his hands on a towel.
"What's so important you have to be running through here, screaming?" He asked. I scowled and pushed the laptop at him, showing him the email. Shonnie appeared in the doorway, holding his stomach.
"Where's the fire?" He asked. I swallowed and turned to him.
"The Samurai."
Soo? Sequel coming up soon. Review and tell me what you thought.
