AUGUST 2 (0 DAYS LEFT),

"I don't wanna leave." Ella cries into Matt's chest as he holds her tightly, not wanting her to leave either.

"Ella, don't cry, you're gonna make me cry and Chris and Nick will tease me for crying over you." Matt slightly laughs, holding back any tears that tried to fall past his eyelashes.

"I can't help it Matt. I'm gonna miss you guys so much." she cries and a tear slips down Matt's face and before he knew it, he was in the same boat as Ella. Balling his eyes out.

"Aw Matt are you crying too?" Ella asked, "I told you you would make me cry." he answers. "I'm sorry Matt." she apologizes as she wipes his tears.

"Now I understand why you won't be able to handle a long distance relationship." Matt mentions, "Matt."

"Yeah?"

"No matter what, we have to talk to each other at least once a week. You've been such a key part of my life this past month." Ella states, "I promise, I'll talk to you at least once a day." he promises.

"Thank you Matt." Ella replies, hugging the boy once again, who wasn't hesitant to wrap his own arms around the girl.

"ELLA. MATT. COME ON WE HAVE TO GO TO THE AIRPORT." Nick shouts, "COMING." The two shout back, both of their voices breaking.

Ella cries more at the thought of her leaving pretty soon.

"Don't cry Ella. We still have time with each other." Matt assures her as he stands up and lets out a hand for her to take, to which she does.

As they both walked out of Matt's room, their hands remain connected.

"Oh my god were you guys crying?" Baylen asked. Nick hears this and runs up to Matt and Ella and hugs them.

"Don't cry guys. You'll see each other soon." Nick tells them and lets go of them.

"Baylen do we have to go?" Ella asked Baylen, "Yes Ella, we have to go. We can't just live in Boston." he laughed.

"Why not?"

"Ella, we have our lives in Florida. Our house and friends. We can't just live here in Boston." Baylen clarifies, "Yeah and Ella we'll come and visit you guys soon." Chris adds as he begins to take Ella and Baylen's luggage to the car.

The triplets had stayed over the previous night, in sake of Ella saying that she wanted to spend her last night in Boston with her best friends. She had cried a bit that night too but not as much as she was now. 

"Okay so, I'll drive so that you and Matt can cry to death in the backseat." Baylen states, "Shut up Baylen." Ella replies and he laughs at this.

-

By now everyone was piled in the car. Baylen was driving with Chris in the passenger seat next to him while Matt, Nick and Ella sat in the back.

It wasn't long before they had reached the Boston Logan Airport. The triplets could only go so far with their two friends, so at that point, is where they said their goodbyes and cries.

Chris and Ella hugged really tight while Baylen had a group hug with Nick and Matt. Then Chris hugged Baylen while Ella hugged Nick. Then Ella went to hug Matt and her tears came back.

"Bro you make me fucking weak." Ella laughs into Matt's chest, "Hey, the name's Matt I'll be here all day. He laughs back. 

"Yeah but you won't be here with me all day." Ella pouts, "Don't remind me." he mutters into her hair.

"I'm gonna miss you Matt." Ella whimpers into the boy's shoulder. "I'm going to miss you so fucking much Ella, you don't even know." Matt replies.

"Do you promise you'll come down to Florida soon?" she asks, still not exiting the hug, only tightening her arms around the boy's waist.

"I promise." he complies and tightens his own arms around her.

"So are yall gonna kiss or what?" Nick interrupts, a tear gliding down his face. 

"One last, goodbye kiss?" Matt whispers, "Yeah." Ella replies and leans on her tippy toes to kiss Matt.

The moment Matt's lips were connected to Ella's, she most definitely fell in love with the boy in front of her, whether she knew it or not . She didn't know if it was because the touch of his lips felt right on her own, or if it was because just him paired with her felt right, or even if it was plainly because he was just him, but she had fallen for this boy and hadn't even noticed it yet.

"WOOOO." Nick, Baylen, and Chris cheer as the two kiss then pull away.

"As cute as that was, Ella, we have to go." Baylen states.

Ella pulls Matt into one more hug and he kisses the top her head muttering, "Bye Ella Bella, I'll see you soon I promise."

"Bye Bye, Matty B." Ella kisses Matt's cheek before pulling away.

"Hey, it'll be okay." Matt assures her, "I know. I'm just gonna really miss you." Ella replies. "And I'll miss you too, on God, and it's gonna hurt for a while, I know it will. But, I know it's going to be okay cause we'll facetime everyday until we can come down there." Matt responds.

"If I don't get a call, I'm never forgiving you." Ella half jokes, "Well I'm going to make sure I call you every night." Matt smiles.

"SIMP." Chris, Nick, and Baylen shout.

"Whatever." Matt rolls his eyes as he connects hands with Ella.

"Ella we actually really need to go." Baylen states.

"Ok." Ella sighs.

"Bye Matt, bye Chris, bye Nick. Thanks for letting us hang out with you guys." Ella thanks as she disconnects her and Matt's hands.

"Of course." they all reply.

Everyone says one quick goodbye, them all at least shedding one tear, then Baylen and Ella were off to their gate.

Away from the triplets. Away from their new friends. Away from Boston.
