Chapter 9

My dad and Raelyn went up to me and I embraced then both in a hug. We pulled away and I saw a tear fall from Raelyn's eye.

"Don't cry Raelyn. You'll only make me cry," I sniffled and let tears escape my eyes freely. I hugged her once again but for a little longer before pulling away. I gave a curt nod to my dad.

"Tell me if he upsets you, I'll beat him to death, bring him back to life, and beat him to death all over again," He said with a chuckle. I let out a small chuckle as well. I gave my father a hug.

"I love you dad. I love you too Raelyn," I told them after pulling away from my dad.

"I love you too," They said in unison.

Ready? I asked Ivy.

Of course I am! She replied. I could feel her running around while she wagged her tail.

I turned around to look at Chuck who was waiting patiently for me to finish my goodbyes.

"You ready?" He asked as he picked up my suitcase.
