"well, i guess i'll see you later then." i said as i set my suitcase down.
"yeah, i'll see you later." billie cleared her throat a bit before waving her hand in a slight wave. she then exited my room.
billie's been really distant since last night. she didn't talk to me much on the plane or on the way to my house.
i'm pretty sure it's because she accidentally said that she loved me last night, but i assured and reassured her that it was fine.
maybe she just needs time to process it? i don't know.
i let out a sigh as i walked out of my room and went to josh's. i knocked on it before walking in.
"wait, you're back?!" he asked loudly.
"nah, i'm still in new york." i deadpanned sarcastically.
he rolled his eyes. "i like your hair; it looks cool."
"thank you." i smiled.
"mhm," he hummed before gesturing me over. "come here, dude."
i walked over to his bed, where he brought me into a hug. "i missed you." i told him.
"i missed you too. how could you just leave me alone like that?" he teased.
"sheesh, if you're acting like this from me being gone for two weeks, what are you going to do when you move out? or when i move out, 'cause that honestly seems more realistic at this point." i snickered.
"uh, yeah... about that..." he laughed nervously.
my brows furrowed. "what?"
"i actually found a house and i'm gonna move into it with some of my friends soon." he told me.
"for real?" my brows furrowed. "where?"
"um..." he reached a hand up to scratch the back of his neck. "it's three hours away."
"three hours?" my eyes widened. "god damn. when are you moving?"
"january second. i'm staying for christmas and new year's, but then i'm leaving." he explained.
"damn," i mumbled. "i wasn't expecting that. are you exited?"
"oh, yeah. i'm very excited," he nodded. "enough about me though, how was new york?"
///
i stayed in josh's room for, like, two hours talking to him about new york. i showed him all of the pictures i took. he, like me, had always wanted to go to new york, so he was just as excited as i was about it all.
after i finished talking to him, i had walked down to the kitchen. i was getting a glass of water.
"wait, i didn't know you were back!" i heard aidan exclaim before he came over and tackled me into a hug.
