9 Going back home

I get a bit nervous of what's about to happen. She grabs her towel and covers up. "You can go now, sorry for the wait." She says. "Thanks, babe..." I say.

Victoria's P.O.V

That's great going, Vic... I prep my clothes for the conference until I see Sophie sick. "Is she ok?" I ask. "She has a bad cold..." Taylor says. "I'd hate to disappoint Ezra but with her being sick, I don't think we can go to the conference." Lucy says. "I'll go tell him" I say.

I walk into the bathroom covering my eyes. "It's fine, I'm dressed still." He says as he takes my hands away from my face. "R-right... Sophie's really sick, we're afraid that we can't go to the conference... I know you were looking forward to this but-" "It's fine, Victoria. Just as long as my teachers are ok." He smiles. "Thanks a ton, Ezra" I thank. "Anything for you" He kisses my hand. "Take a shower now, and we'll leave tomorrow." I smile.

I come to the living room where the others are. "We're leaving tomorrow, but it's the same time as when we booked it." I say. "So we have to wait til afternoon?" Brendon asks. "I'm afraid so..." I say.

It's the next day and we take our flight home. I fall asleep on Ezras shoulder but wake up as to some other Teacher In Training teams are taking a layover flight and are in the same plane.

We arrive back to our hometown, and have another meeting to discuss. Ezra has been working non stop, and we stopped talking for a bit since getting to the airport. "So are we disbanding the group or not?" Sophia asks. "Can you cool off for a bit?" Brendon asks. Ezra takes a deep breath, and leaves... "what's HIS problem?" Lucy asks. "I'll be right back." I say and go after him.

I see Ezra at the secret balcony and we look at the view. "Hey... Are you ok?" I ask. "Just... Tired." He says. "Take a break. You've been working non stop... Plus, we hadn't been alone together in a while." I say. "How about we go home, and take a break." I offer. "He smiles and takes my hand. "I'll go wherever you are" He says.

We hang out at the dorms and I take a little breather. I sit in the living room reading a book while Ezra is grading papers again. "I told you to take a break..." I say closing my book. I walk over to him and hug him from behind. "I know, I know... I just... Need to keep myself busy." He explains. "That's why you have me." I smile. "Thank god for that." He smiles and kisses me.
