"I need to pack some stuff before I leave with them," I said, and he nodded.
"I'll drive you back to the pack house," Dylan said.
"No, she can take a cab with me," Leo stated.
"It makes more sense for me to drive her," Dylan argued. They both looked at me.
"I'm going with Dylan," I said, and Leo looked hurt. I looked at Kylie and noticed that she was string a someone. I looked and saw that Alex was doing the same thing.
"Mate," they said at the same time. Alex made his way over to Kylie and engulfed her in a hug. When they pulled apart, Kylie looked at me and her eyes widened. She immediately backed away from Alex, which made him growl. Kylie looked at Alex, then back at me, looking torn. I understood why she was torn.
"Kylie, it's fine. Be with Alex. He'll be good to you, or else he'll have me to deal with," I said to her, giving her a small smile. She smiled back and gave me a hug.
"Alright. It looks like I'm coming with you," Kylie said, trying to lighten the mood, but the air was still thick with tension.
Dylan, Kylie, and I walked out of the alleyway and back to the hotel with Leo and Alex following behind us. Dylan had the valet bring the car back and we waited.
"Morning," he said.
"Morning," Kylie and I mumbled back. We grabbed all of our luggage and Dylan helped us pile it into his car. The drive to the airport was silent. When we got there, we quickly checked all of our bags except for our carry-ons. Leo and Alex had sent us our tickets over email, so we were able to print them out at the airport. Dylan walked us as far as he could go, and that's when we spoke.
"Bye, Dyl, I'm going to miss you. I promise I'll come back to visit," Kylie said as Dylan hugged her. Her body was shaking as she silently cried.
"I'm going to miss you too, Kye," he said quietly. After they pulled away, Dylan engulfed me in a hug. I had fought back the tears, but they were now streaming down my face. Dylan had been so kind to me and had taken me into his pack when he definitely didn't have to. He could've just kicked me out. But he didn't.
