Chapter Nine

I woke up to someone shaking me a little, I open my eyes to see Ryan smiling looking over at me.

"We've arrived but remember we can't stay long, so only pack what you need," he says which makes me look around to see our house in front of us, I was still in a state of sleep so I just nod smiling.

He gets out the car running over to the front door quickly unlocking it, I climb out and walk quickly but didn't run like Ryan cause again I was still half asleep and follow him into the house. We both run up the stairs going our separate rooms, I grab two bags that were under my bed starting to pack clothes, makeup and things I just can't bear leaving like photos and keepsakes. At the bottom of my wardrobe was a box that I kept all my old things, things I've had since I was a baby, I pick the box up emptying the whole contents into a bag safely. Once I'm finished I zip the bags up walking towards the door, I turn taking one more look at my room before walking out the door.

Ryan runs out of his room taking my bags off me saying for me to get some last things we might need downstairs, I run downstairs towards the kitchen while he runs to the car to put our bags down.

I grab some food cause well you need food! And just some little things before running out the house joining Ryan, he shut the boot of the car before running over to me.

"Have you got everything?" He asks, I just nod before looking back towards the house, we've shared so many memories between these four walls.

"We'll be fine I'll look after you," he says wrapping his arm around me where we stand for a few minutes staring at the building in front of us, tears start to prick my eyes at the thought of leaving this place and all the memories stored inside.

"I know it seems hard leaving but it's just a house, the memories aren't going to stay within it, they'll remain in your head which has unlimited space to keep even more," Ryan says holding me tighter sensing I was getting upset, he always knew what to say.

We pull away Ryan putting his hands on both my shoulders smiling at me.

"Now wipe them tears and put a smile on that beautiful face, we can leave this house with a smile on our faces saying a happy goodbye," he says smiling, I wipe my tears putting a little smile on my face.

"What are you doing back here already," a voice says behind me, I quickly wipe the remaining tears from my eyes turning around to see Gabbie standing behind me.

"Oh we forgot some things so we decided we'd take the drive here," I say trying to make my voice not sound like I was just crying, which was a very hard task.

"That's a such a you thing to do" she laughs as she looks to me than Ryan "you two look smart" looking at our clothes.

We haven't had the chance to change after we had lunch? I was still in my dress that was actually becoming uncomfortable.

"Yeah Ryan took me out for dinner just before, so we haven't had a chance to change yet" I smile which isn't actually a lie, our dinner was interrupted by the phone call.

"Well I'll let you go cause I know how your mum gets when you're late" she laughs walking over wrapping me in a hug, I hug her tightly I wish I could tell her what's going on but I know Ryan won't let me, but I don't blame him.

"I'll see you Monday" she smiles pulling away, I felt like crying at this moment but I knew I couldn't.

"yeah Monday," I say fighting back the tears that threatened to leave my eyes, Ryan comes up behind me wrapping his arm around me.

"Have a lovely week Gabbie" he says she smiles looking down at me before turning and walking away.

"I love you Gabs!" I shout she turns back smiling.

"I love you too!" She shouts as she walks into her house when she was out of sight I let the tears win the fight and they began to stream down my face once more.

"When am I gonna be able to see her again?" I ask as Ryan holds me tighter.

"I don't know Savannah, but we can hope for the best" was all he ways which makes me turn and hug him fully.

This is one of the hardest things I've had to do.
