Today was the day when everyone was being picked up by their parents and going home. The four girls were dreading this day since they became such good friends. The four of them got goose bumps when a car pulled up in front of the main cabin. George, Fin and John already left with their parents; the only ones left were the girls and Elliot.
"It is the most depressing day of my life" Casey said "Now I have to go back home and be miserable."
"You're only making yourself miserable" Alex said "Remember that big speech I gave you?"
"Yeah, I know Mom" Casey joked "And believe me, I will never forget that big speech you gave me."
A car pulled up to the cabin. Melinda sighed as she got up from the steps and grabbed her luggage.
"That's my mom."
Alex, Casey and Olivia went over to Melinda and gave her hugs. She walked to the car and the three girls watched Melinda's mom help her put her luggage in the truck.
"I'm going to miss her."
"We're all going to miss each other" Olivia said.
They waved back to Melinda as she waved from her seat in the car. When the car was out of sight, they looked at each other.
"Okay, who's next?" Casey asked quietly.
An hour later, Alex and Casey left the camp. The only ones sitting on the steps were Olivia and Elliot. Olivia was already teary eyed because her two friends left, but she already knew that it would be worst when Elliot would leave. Elliot sensed that Olivia was sad, so he put his arm around her as she tried to comfort her.
A few minutes later, a car pulled up and Elliot sighed. Olivia looked at him.
"That's your ride, isn't it?" she said quietly.
"Yeah"
Elliot and Olivia got up while Elliot grabbed his things.
"Do you want to walk over with me?" he asked.
"Sure"
While Elliot's mom got out of the car, Elliot and Olivia walked over.
"El! How was camp?" his mother asked as she opened the truck.
"It was great" Elliot said.
"Is this one of your camp friends?"
"Yeah, this is Olivia. Olivia, this is my mom."
"Nice to meet you" his mom said "Elliot, can I have your things?"
"Sure"
Elliot picked up his two bags and handed them to his mother. She threw them in the trunk and shut the door.
"Well, I'll let the both of you say goodbye" his mother said, noticing that Elliot was close to his friend "But make it quick, El. We need to get going."
Elliot looked at Olivia and saw that she was crying. He reached for her face and held her head with her hands.
"Olivia, please don't make this goodbye harder than it already is" he said quietly.
"I'm sorry" Olivia said quietly "I like you, and you're the best friend I've ever had."
"Someone Olivia, we will meet up again. I promise."
"Really?"
"Yes, I mean it."
Elliot moved his head closer and gave Olivia a quick kiss on the lips. Then he wiped her eyes and gave her a hug. A minute later, they looked each other.
"Well, goodbye Olivia Benson."
"Goodbye Elliot."
He slowly walked away, opened the door to the car and got in. Seconds later, Olivia saw Elliot and his mom drive out of sight.
