Chapter 11 – Goodbyes Are Hard

Disclaimer: I only own the plot and Brona.

"I can't believe we got up at five am." Carlos moaned.

"Carlos we sneaked out to say goodbye." I groaned.

We were on our bikes heading to Woodlands Equestrian Centre. It was 5 am and we sneaked out but it would only take a few minutes. When we got there we left our bikes at the entrance.

"Ok, Leah text me that they were put out in the back paddock." I said.

"James do you have the five packets of polo mints?" Logan asked.

"Yup"

"Brona did Leah tell Simone that were coming?" Kendall asked.

"Yes but she's gone to a show in Wisconsin."

We arrived at a field with five horses in it.

"Blaze" I said and walked over to a palomino horse with a with a blaze on its face.

"Diablo" Carlos said and walked over to a black horse.

"Ace" Kendall said and walked over to a bay horse with a star on its face.

"Cuda" James said and walked over to a chestnut horse with four socks.

"Sky" Logan said and walked over to a blue roam horse.

"Blaze I'm going to miss you so much girl. All the good times we had and the fun we had. And all the times we scared Carlos into the river." I said and tears dwelled up in my eyes and I put my hands around her neck and my face in her mane. "You're the prefect horse. And a best friend."

"Diablo, you always were as giddy as me. Do you remember all the fun we had? And the fifty five times I fell off you but I wore my helmet. Well I'm going to miss you bud."

"Ace you helped me keep a clear and cool head. And you got me over a lot of things. I remember when you were born. James fainted. Simone had to go with Leah to pick up extra food for your mother. Then she went into labour and Brona had to deliver it. It was funny. I'll miss you." Kendall said.

"Cuda, what can I say. You make me look good and I make you look good, with my hair and your mane and our Cuda products. I'll visit you as long as you visited me. I'll miss you." James said.

"Sky, you taught to have fun girl. Do you remember one summer I was studying Maths and I left the book on your stable door to tie my laces and you knocked the book into a water bucket. I'll miss you." Logan said.

I saw a girl with black hair walk over to us. I ran over to her and gave her a hug. "I'm going to miss you so much Leah." I said.

"I'll miss you too. Just remember me when you became famous."

We let go and walked over to the fence were the boys were sitting.

"It's going to be so hard saying bye to everyone." Logan said.

A beeper went off and we all looked at our watches. "We have to go." Kendall shouted. "We will miss you." We shouted back at Leah.

Back On Our Street

"Ok, Logan check that of our list." Kendall said.

"Will do, Kendall quit his job check. Pick up food for plane check." Logan said.

"Who left roses on my doorstep?" I asked.

"Not me." Kendall replied.

And the rest shook their heads.

I picked up a beautiful bouquet of pink roses. There was a tag on them. "Don't go. I love you. Michael." I read out.

A boy with brown wavy hair came out from the side of the house.

"Don't go Brona."

"Michael, we broke up after two months because there was nothing there."

James Logan and Carlos grabbed on to Kendall.

"There is something there." Michael said. He put his soft hands on my face.

"Don't." I said. He leaned in. And pressed his lips against mine. I leaned away and slapped him. "I said don't."

"There's something there."

"I've a boyfriend. And he's being held over there."

"Can I hit him?" Kendall asked.

"Not yet." Carlos, James, Logan and I said.

"You're dating Kendork over the captain of the football team."

"Hey, no one calls him that except for me." I shouted. "Hey wait aren't you still going out with Brooke?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm late for school." Michael shrieked.

"It's seven o'clock." Logan pointed out.

Michael ran away. "Ok. What's next on the list?" James asked.

"Get breakfast." Logan said.

"Only Mama Knight is up and she's still packing. Let's go to my house and will make pancakes." I suggested.

"You mean you make pancakes." Kendall corrected me.

"No. I'm pretty sure I meant us. We always make breakfast together." I said.

"Ok let's go." Carlos said.

08:30

"I can't believe our babies are going to be famous and going to LA." Mama Garcia, Diamond, Mitchell and Walsh cried.

"It will be quieter; there will be less hospital trips and other stuff." Carlos reassured them.

"Who will make tea?" Mama Mitchell cried.

"Mom taught me how to make tea so ours is the same." I said.

"Nooooo I have to make tea" Mama Walsh cried.

"Give us a hug." They cried.

We hugged our Mom's then we went over to our Dad's.

"Well, have fun in LA." They said.

"Keep playing hockey." Mr Diamond said.

"Mind your helmet Carlos." Mr Garcia told Carlos.

"Bye we will miss you." We shouted.

"Kendall can we talk to you for a minute." Mr Mitchell.

"Ya, sure." Kendall replied.

"Your Father would have been proud." Mr Walsh said.

"Thanks." Kendall walked back to us.

"Let's say bye to our brothers and sisters." Logan said to me and Carlos.

Logan walked over to a little girl with dark brown hair over at his house.

"I'll miss you Logie bear."

"I'll miss you too Stella. But I promise I'll be home for your sixth birthday."

Stella hugged her brother and then ran inside with tears running down her cheek.

"Ughhhh" Logan moaned and went over to James and Kendall.

"Courtney, I'll miss you. You're the best sister ever and my favourite sister."

"I'm your only sister." She laughed.

I hugged her. "I'll miss you Brona."

We let go and I went over to my brothers.

"I'll miss beating you at everything. And I'll miss you." I said.

"And we will miss the only person who doesn't have to guess to tell us apart." Jim said.

"And we will miss losing to you." Tim spoke.

I gave them each a hug. "And if any dude hurts you." Tim said. "You know where to come." Jim finished.

I walked over to Joey.

"Hey Joe" I said and ruffled his light brown gelled up hair.

"Isn't supposed to be bye Joe?" He asked.

"I guess, but I've a present for you!"

I handed him a brown paper bag.

"What's this?"

"Open it."

He opened it to see a black puck with an engraving that said 'Keep Dreaming'.

"Brona this is your lucky puck that Great Grandpa gave to you just before he died. I can't take it."

"It's yours now. Keep in school and keep playing hockey. And I'll miss you."

"Thanks. No promises about school. I'll miss you." And he gave me a hug.

I walked over to Logan, Kendall ad James.

"Well, Lucia, Cecilia, Maria, and Ernesto I'll miss you."

"We'll miss you too."

He ran back to Kendall, Logan, James and me.

"Goodbyes are hard." Logan sniffed.

"How did Stella take it?" I asked.

"She said 'I'll miss you Logie bear.' Then after I said bye she ran in crying. I feel so bad. When Mom explained it to her last night all I could her was her screaming and crying 'Don't go Logie'"

"Awwwwww." I said.

"So let's go to the car it takes half an hour to get there and it's nine and we have to be there at ten." James suggested.

We headed into the car. We were taking all in our last few minutes in Minnesota.

Author's Notes

Hope you enjoyed that chapter! I put the horse thing in, because I think it would be cool if they knew how to ride horses.
