Cherry || Owen Joyner

nine

Five days. We have five days left on this trip. Five days is when we leave this beautiful island and the most amazing people.

I wanna take it in as much as I can. I was currently watching the sunrise on our balcony.

I didn't wanna leave. "Saylor." I heard behind me. It was Owen.

Everyone was in the boys suite asleep and I was by myself.

He came over to me and sat next to me. "You okay?" He asked looking at me. I debated on telling him the truth or lying.

"I just don't want this to end." I admit to him. I can trust him. I know he won't judge me.

I look over to his face was soft. "I don't want this to end either." He pouts to me.

"Can I talk to you about something? And you can't judge me." I fully turn to him.

"Of course you can talk to me. And I won't judge." He admits. It's hard to not like Owen knowing he's so sweet.

He's also super understanding. It took me a minute to start speaking.

"I think I'm just really scared that you're gonna forget about me." I admit to him. He looks like he's about to say something but I stop him.

"You have a whole life in California. What if you do?" He looked like he was thinking.

"You're unforgettable, Saylor." He tells me honestly. I really don't want him to.

I've never felt this kind of connection with someone before.

"I promise to keep in contact with you. You can't get rid of me that easy." He smiles. His smile is contagious so I couldn't help but doing the same.

"We have five days left so that means you can't be sad anymore." He joked while making me laugh.

I could see his face brighten up. "See, there's that smile." I roll my eyes as I look at him.

"Are you tired at all?" He asked as I shook my head. I could see his lightbulb light up above his head.

"You wanna have a Harry Potter marathon? Everyone's gonna be asleep for a while." He tells me.

I agree as we both stand up. "We should get energy drinks and snacks just in case." He agreed so I drive.

We go to the nearest Target and walk inside. I'm surprised it's open this early. We look at each other and smile.

"We both look like hot messes." I laugh. "You never look like a hot mess." He mumbles to himself.

What did that mean? I just shrug it off as I get on the cart to ride it.

He starts to push me as we walk towards the snacks. We start looking through the snacks as I look at the choices.

"Reese's pieces!" I point them out. He looks at me strangely. "What? Those are my favorites." I tell him honestly.

He smiles as he grabs a bag. Our snacks consisted of chips, candies, and juice boxes.

We started going towards the energy drinks when I heard snickering.

I turn to see two teenage girls. They looked shy but I could tell the knew Owen.

"I think you have some fans." I tell him. He turns around and looks at what I'm talking about. He smiles as they slowly walk over.

I get off the buggy and stand back. "Can we get a picture with you?" The one asked with a shaky voice.

"Of course. How do you want to take it?" He asked. He's so sweet.

It's six thirty in the morning and he's taking pictures with his fans. I don't know many celebrities that would do that.

"Can we do one by ourselves and then together with you?" She asked he nodded.

I could tell the other girls hands were shaking too badly to take it. "You want me to take it for you?" I ask her.

She looked at me and smiled. "That'll be wonderful. Thank you." She handed me her phone so I could take it.

It was gonna be a hell of a picture knowing Owen's wearing a t-shirt and his adidas joggers and they had tears in their eyes.

After one of the girls took the picture, she started crying. "Don't cry please." He wraps his arms around her as she cried in his chest.

It's strange, I'm looking at him embrace this girl and I'm not jealous. I think it's sweet.

"You saved me in so many ways." She cried in his chest. Owen looked at me with tears in his eyes.

I pouted as he rubbed her back. "I'm so glad to hear it." He told her.

He calmed her down after a minute and they pulled away. "Do you have a Twitter?" He asked them both.

They nodded as he followed them. The taller one is Alexis and the shorter one is Hannah. I gave the phone back as they thanked him for the pictures.

They then looked over me. Then back at Owen. "Is this your girlfriend?" Hannah asked him. Owen blushed as he coughed.

He shook his head. "We're just friends." It hurt hearing him say that. But that's what we are. Just friends.

"You two would be cute together." Alexis pointed out. I could feel my face heat up as I smiled. "Thank you." I tell her.

Hannah then looked at me. "Aren't you from the band, Hey Violet?" I was shocked. I've never been recognized before.

"Yeah. You've heard of us?" I ask her shocked. She nodded her head. "Yeah, I saw you guys live back in twenty-sixteen at the Seattle show." I was shocked.

"I was obsessed with you guys a few years ago. Were you gonna make new music?" She asked as we made conversation.

"We're working out how to get a manager to get on a a label. But soon." I smile. We talk for a little but they end up leaving.

I sigh as we go to the energy drinks. "That was really sweet of you." I tell Owen honestly.

He looked at me confused as we walk. "What you did for those girls." I told him as he smiled.

"I love meeting my supporters. They're the reason why I do this." He explains to me.

I hope I get like that one day. "It was a cool experience. I've never seen anything like it." I honestly tell him.

I grab a couple monsters and put them in the cart. "You've never had a fan experience?" He asked as I shook my head.

"We're not that big. We probably have a hundred thousand subscribers." I explain.

"Well, I believe in you and your band." He smiled. We grabbed everything else that we needed and bought everything.

I drove back to the hotel to see everyone was still asleep.

We went to my room and set all our snacks and movies up.

We lay in the bed and get comfortable as we start the first Harry Potter movie.

I may not look like it, but I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd. Even though I grew up on pop punk music and gothic things, I still have a dorky side.

There's nothing wrong with being a mixture of gothic and nerdy. "Why do you have goosebumps?" Owen laughed at me.

"I just love these movies so expect me to nerd out." He laughed. I took a drink of a monster so I can stay up for the next nineteen hours.

I'm honestly excited for this marathon.
