Hey! I'm sorry to say that this is the last chapter! I'm kinda glad, though. I feel like this story is so boring, so I'm doing a big favor to you by ending it.
Let's answer the review I received!
LRS.9401 – Thanks, that means a lot!
Okay, on to the story.
Ally POV
There's always a moment of sadness when you leave Leoni Meadows. The only good thing that you are thinking about is coming back next year. Okay, and maybe also going home and seeing all your friends. Every year my mom asks if she should pre-register for the year to follow, and I always answer with a YES!
This year, though, I'm leaving something bigger, that means a lot more to me. I'm leaving my boyfriend. I know. That sounds so cheesy, but it's totally true. I don't even know if I can face him, but I have to. I still need his phone number.
After breakfast, Austin came up to me.
"Hey!" He greeted me, pulling me in for a hug. I wasn't really that enthused, and he sensed something was up. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." I replied, my eyes stinging with potential tears.
He shook his head. "Something's up. What is it?" A tear escaped my eye. "Don't tell me you're still sad that we're leaving today." I shook my head, but that didn't stop him from hugging me again. "I told you not to worry about that. Oh! I almost forgot to give you my number." He said.
"I didn't bring my phone." I confessed, my eyes still a little wet.
"Me neither. It's okay. I'll just come over to your cabin when I'm about to leave." He said, and another tear rolled down my cheek. He put his hands to my face, and wiped away my tears.
"Did you know you're still beautiful when you cry?" He said, I scoffed.
"Yeah right. I must look like a mess." I said, he just chuckled and walked away.

Austin POV
"Are you almost ready, Austin? Your bag is the last to go in!" My mom shouted at me.
"Can you wait a minute? I promised Ally I'd say goodbye!" She nodded, and got into the car. I ran towards Ally's cabin, but was stopped by Elliot.
"Going to see your girlfriend?" He said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Yes, actually." I said, ignoring him and pushing him aside.
"Hey! Ally!" I called, she turned around, her brunette hair swirling around her. Her family was still packing, not quite finished.
"Hey. Can you help me put this in here?" She asked, struggling with a full case of water bottles.
"Of course." I said, placing it into the trunk.
"Here. Put your number into my phone. I'll put mine into yours." I said, handing her my phone. She handed me hers, but there was a password.
"Ummmm, Ally?" I said, showing her the screen. She typed something in, that I recognized.
"Your password is my name?" I asked her. She blushed bright red.
"No!...Maybe." She mumbled the last part. I chuckled.
"It's okay. Look." I locked my phone, then gave it to her. She typed in her name, and it opened. She smiled wide.
"Let's just put our numbers in, okay?" I said, not wanting to get into the topic of how long the password was set like that. 2 years, 3 months, and 17 days, to be exact.
I typed my number in, filled in my birthday, e-mail, and address, and then took a selfie and set it as my profile picture. Ally saw what I was doing and did the same. We exchanged phones after that.
"Well. I guess this is goodbye." I said, tears starting to form in my eyes.
"Is the Austin Moon crying?" She asked me, almost starting to cry herself.
"Not even." I said, hugging her. "Bye, Ally."
"No. Not goodbye." She said. I was confused, but still hugging her.
"Huh?"
"Not goodbye. See ya later." She said, tightening her grasp. This is when the waterworks started.
"I-I love you, Als."
"I love you too, Austin."
We stayed like that for a while, not wanting to let each other go. It was when my mom called me that I actually let go of Ally.
"Well, that's my cue." I said, leaving.
"Wait." She said, I turned around and she pulled me in for a kiss. It was short and sweet. The best kiss that we had shared.
"See ya later, Als."
"See ya later." She said, watching me go. When I was almost out of her sight, I turned around and waved, she was still there, and waved back. I kept going, and I reached the car.
On the way home, when I finally got cell service, I texted Ally.
Ally POV
I kept packing after Austin left. Why was I being so emotional? I asked myself. I mean, I had done this last year. Why was it so hard this year? Because you left someone special, rang in my head.
On the way home, I kept looking at Austin's contact info. He lived in Sacramento, while I lived in San Jose. I looked it up. We were 2 hours and 10 minutes apart. We were even in two different conferences for our churches. I was Central California Conference, and he was Northern. I swear, it's like the conferences don't talk or something, that's how split up it is.
But, when I got cell service, I instantly received a text. I assumed it was a text from my best friend, but nope. It was my first text from Austin.
Missing you already! Can't wait for our first phone call, or our first video chat! XOXO!

I could not control my face the entire ride home. There was a smile on it the entire trip.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! It's over! I can't believe it! Seriously! Why couldn't I have written my life! It would have turned out much better! So, if you want a sequel, or even an epilogue, tell me, or else, I'm done with this story, but it did end on a great note, am I right?
