Melissa looked out the back window as the limo started to pull away from her house. She was leaving her childhood and her family behind. She could see Tiff hug her mother before they went inside the house.

"Are you ok, Mel?" Nick quietly asked her.

"I will be...it's just hard saying good bye to Tiff..."

"I understand..." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her against him. "Just remember you will always have me..."

"I know..."

The jet was waiting as planned when the limo got to the airport. Melissa followed Nick and Kevin through the roped off walkway, the screams of fans echoing in an almost deafening roar. They boarded the plane and Melissa sat between Nick and the window. She looked out at the city she grew up in and sighed.

Nick took her hand and gently squeezed. "Remember...I'm always here for you..."

"I know..." she replied with a smile before leaning over to press a gentle kiss to his lips.
