Tobin's POV:

The Next Day

"I'll miss you, Fishy. Go have fun and smash it in Portland. We'll see you real soon".

"Thanks, Sharky, I'm going to miss you too".

We were in the hotel lobby saying goodbye's to Ash and Ali as their flight is later than ours. Right now Mk and Ash are having a beautiful moment. Mk has been really close to Ash and Ali since they found her when she ran, and she's been closer to Ash especially since Ash was the one who talked to her and got her to come back. Ash and Mk are also closer since they've both had terrible pasts so they can relate to each other.

"You ready Mk"? Makayla gave the couple one last hug then we got in the car that was being driven by Mike who's one of the fitness coach's.

After a quick 15 minute drive due to traffic not being that bad, we arrived at the airport where we went through baggage and security.

Sitting on a plane was a really nice feeling as it's been a busy morning and I can't wait to be back home in Portland. Mk was sat in the window seat, and I was in the middle, and Emily was in the aisle seat.

We had now gone through all the flight safety instructions and were now heading to the runway. I could see Mk's leg start bouncing slowly and gradually increase in speed, so I moved my hand on her knee facing up. Makayla placed her hand in mine and looked at me with teary eyes. "Hey, everything's okay, and I won't let anything happen to you".

As the plane was picking up speed, Mk was starting to have a panic attack. "Mk, come here". She moved into my open arms and put her head in my chest where I held her there tightly while whispering calming words in her ears.

We had finally reached the altitude as the plane levelled out and I looked at Makayla to see she was passed out asleep.

For the whole of the 6hr flight Sonnett and I talked and took turns falling asleep while Makayla was asleep. She occasionally woke up only to shuffle slightly then fall back asleep. Apart from half an hour ago where she moved so she was sitting sideways on my lap with her head in my neck and her feet were in the footwell of her empty seat. My arms were wrapped around her continuously, even when I fell asleep for about 20 minutes.

Time Skip

We have finally arrived at the four-bedroom house I share with Christine Sinclair. Mk is now wide awake since we got coffee at PDK Airport.

"Hey Mk, Why don't we go explore upstairs first and start unpacking your stuff now since it's already 3 o'clock then we can either cook or order some food"?

Makayla nodded and grabbed some of her bags, and I grabbed the others.

We had now shown Makayla all the rooms upstairs apart from the one door that was kept shut, and we told her to leave till last.

Makayla's POV:

I've looked around all the rooms upstairs apart from one which Mama told me to leave till last.

"Okay, the final room upstairs, you ready to have a look inside"? Mama says as we stand in front of the door leading to the mystery room.

I nodded my head and stood in front of the door with Mama, and Christine stood behind me waiting. Taking a deep breath, I pulled the door handle down, opening the door. As soon as the door was opened wide enough, I stepped inside and was amazed at what the room consisted of.

I don't know why, but I started crying. "Hey princess, you okay"? "Yeah, Mama I'm okay it's just I've never had a room like this before. Thank you". Mama pulled me into a hug. "It wasn't me who decorated it, but I was the organiser and told the teammates how it should look.

"Who did it"?

"Well I told Kling, and she was the main one to do it, but she needs supervising at all times, so Ellie Carpenter, Emily Menges and Sinc here helped her. Then Lindsey came over when she got here, and she face-timed Sonnett to show her since Lindsey couldn't call me since I was driving. So when you and Abby were on your date, Sonnett came to our room and showed me pictures of the room that Lindsey took".

I pulled away from Mama's embrace and saw Christine still standing in the doorway. She smiled at me, so I walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you, Christine". She laughed "It's no problem kid, but you don't have to call me Christine you can call me Sinc or something". I smiled "Okay thank you Sinc".

Mama and Sinc left me to unpack my stuff so they weren't going to get in my way and so I could put everything where I wanted it. Once I finished an hour and a half later, I got a face time request from Abby, so I answered it on my laptop.

"Hey Kayla, How are you doing"?

"Hi Abby, I'm doing good just unpacked everything in my room".

"Ooh give me a tour".

I then gave Abby a full tour of my room and sat back at my desk.

"So how are you liking Portland so far"?

"So far it's good, the house is amazing, and I've not even looked downstairs fully yet".

"Okay, well, I'll leave you to explore more Kayla as well as eat since I bet you haven't yet with all the travelling and unpacking".

"Awww okay Abby, can I text you later"?

"Of course you can but don't text too late though since I have got to be up early for training tomorrow".

"I won't keep you up too late, I promise".

"Okay, bye, Kayla".

"Bye, Abby".

After ending the call with Abby, I was sat at my desk still and was going to shut my laptop down, but I got another face-time request.
