A/N: Ok this is probably going to be just downright sad. But hey, they're leaving each other for who knows how long? I had to make it SORTA sad lol. Enjoy!
The Final Farewell…for now.
Cat POV
We walked out into the parking lot in silence, each of us lost in our own thoughts. We reached the parking lot. Kids were smiling and either getting on busses or walking home or getting in cars, talking and saying goodbye. The other seniors were saying more serious goodbyes.
The 6 of us stood silently together until EVERYONE in the parking lot was gone. We all knew that we didn't want anyone else to see us crying when we said our final goodbyes.
Soon enough, the lot was deserted except for us six.
"Time to say goodbye," I said, my voice really shaky and quiet.
"Yeah," said Beck. We all took deep breaths.
We went in for a group hug at the same time.
"I'll never forget you guys," said Tori.
"Promise?" I said.
I noticed that everyone's faces started turning red when I said that.
Tears glazed over Tori's eyes.
She reached out her pinky. I linked it with my own.
"Promise," she said. I sniffed and smiled.
We let go and started to hug each other individually.
I walked up to Jade.
We were quiet and expressionless for a moment.
Suddenly I felt tears pricking at the corner of my eyes, and I leaned in to hug her. She didn't hesitate to hug me back.
She rubbed my back, and I felt teardrops landing on top of my head.
"Oh gosh…" Jade began.
I buried my face in her shoulder. My tears soon soaked her shirt. But she didn't care.
"I'm gonna miss you Jadey," I said, closing my eyes. She held onto me as tight as she could.
"I'll miss you too Cat," she said. I looked up at her, arms still around her, her arms around me.
She reached up and wiped away a tear falling down her cheek. She forced a smile at me. I smiled back.
"Have fun with the movie," I said. "I'll watch it the second it premiers."
Jade smiled even wider. "I will. Enjoy making music. I'll make sure I'm the first one to buy your album," she said.
I smiled.
"Love you," I said.
"Forever and always," she replied, provoking more tears.
I hugged her for a little longer, then let go of her so she could go see the others.
I went up to Tori.
Tori threw her arms around me. She was full out crying now.
"I don't wanna leave," she whined, in a voice sounding more like my own than hers.
"I don't either," I said.
"I really am gonna miss you so much, and I love you," said Tori. I smiled.
"I love you too, and I will miss you too," I replied.
I hugged her once more, then moved on.
Robbie came up to me.
I hugged him, and he did something that caught me off-guard.
He pulled my face up to his and kissed me. I kissed him back.
"Love you Cat. Have fun making music," he said, smiling. A tear rolled down his face, and I felt my throat get really tight again.
"Love you too Robbie. I will, have fun with your shows," I said, returning his smile.
I gave him another quick kiss and let him go.
Tori POV
I couldn't believe this was really happening. I couldn't believe it at all.
Jade walked up to me after saying goodbye to Andre.
"This is goodbye for like, a few hours right?" I asked, smiling. She laughed through her tears.
I hugged her.
She hugged back for once.
"See you at work tomorrow Jade," I said, and she said the same to me. It felt so odd, saying I would see her at work.
Beck walked up to me after saying bye to Cat.
I had always had a crush on him, no matter how hard I tried to deny it.
Jade walked up behind him.
"This is the one time I will let you two kiss," she said, smiling. We had talked about me liking Beck in junior year.
"Sure you don't mind?" asked Beck.
She leaned up and kissed Beck.
"Just this once," she said, smiling, trying to keep it together. She must have realized that she wouldn't see him for quite some time. They weren't as serious as they had been in sophomore year, but they were sort of still dating.
"I will miss you Beckett," I said, smiling through the tears. He was as close to me as Andre was. I was gonna miss having him for advice, and a friend to lean on.
He smiled.
He leaned in and we kissed.
"Better now?" he asked me. I laughed.
"Loads," I said. (A/N: If you're a Potterhead, you'll know exactly what movie this is from.)
I hugged him, and he hugged back.
"I will still be here. You know that right?" he asked, and I smiled.
"Of course," I said. He smiled too.
He clapped me on the back and said goodbye, then moved on to say bye to Andre.
Jade POV
We were all trying to keep it together for each other as we said our final farewells for a while. I wasn't sure when I would see them again. Well, other than Tori anyhow.
I went up to Beck. We stared into each other's eyes for a while, then started crying all over again.
I hugged him as tight as I possibly could, crying into his shirt. He held me close.
We just stood there crying for a good three minutes.
"I'm gonna miss you so much!" I cried. He nodded.
I leaned up and looked in his eyes again. He kissed me.
We hugged for another three minutes, then finally let go.
The six of us got back together again for a moment before taking off. It was about 3:30 now.
Silently, we went in for another group hug.
I could feel Cat shaking next to me with stifled cries, and Tori wasn't even trying to stifle the tears.
I took a deep breath.
When we let go, our eyes were all puffy and red from crying.
"Bye guys," I said.
"Bye. Keep in touch?" asked Andre.
"Of course," we chorused in reply.
I hugged Cat and Beck again one more time. I needed them and was going to miss them the most.
We finally took off in our separate ways.
I walked shakily to my car, not really believing what was happening.
With one last glance at the school, I took off to my house, memories flooding my mind. I turned on the radio, and the song "Wherever I Go" by Miley Cyrus was playing. I smiled, and decided to listen to it.
Cat POV
I got in my car, my eyes still glazed over with tears. I wasn't ready for this, even though I tried to prepare myself the whole day.
I glanced one more time at the school, then headed home. I was going to try to work on my first song. It was definitely going to be dedicated to them.
I turned on the radio, and Wherever I Go was playing. I knew it would make me cry again but at the same time it would console me, so I decided to listen to it.
Tori POV
I said my final farewells and walked to my car, getting in with great difficulty. I was shaking so much that I didn't think I would be able to drive.
I turned on the radio as I pulled out of the school parking lot, and the song Wherever I Go was on. I immediately felt my eyes glaze over again. But something made me leave it on.
