Cherry || Owen Joyner

twenty-six

After almost three hours, we finally land in Oklahoma. I already miss Owen like crazy.

It was four pm when we landed so Kira and I went to go get our bags.

I'm really happy to see Nash again, I miss my guy best friend. There's so much I need to catch him up on since we left.

When we grab our bags, we start looking around for Nash.

After a minute of scanning, I eventually found him. He looks like he's glowing.

I run over to him and wrap my arms around him. He hugs me tightly and then let's go.

"That was probably the longest week of my life." He groaned. I felt bad for him.

We were in Los Angeles together while he was here in Oklahoma for the wedding.

I'm just happy we're all together again. We all look at each other with smiles on our faces.

Nash looked at me, his eyes going down to my hickey. He looked shocked.

"That's the biggest hickey I've ever seen." I knew he was going to say something.

"You should've seen it yesterday. It was a whole lot darker." Kira laughed. 

We grabbed our bags and started walking to the car. "Damn, what the hell did I miss?" Nash asked laughing. 

We explained everything to him that happened over the trip.

It took us almost the ride to explain everything, especially the asylum.

"I wish I was there when y'all went exploring." Nash shook his head. He loves crap like that.

"Tell us about the wedding. How was it?" I ask Nash. We were so busy we barely had time to talk to Nash.

And Nash barely had time to talk to us. "It went really well." I looked at him with my eyebrow raised.

I could tell he was hiding something. He was biting his lip as he pulled into the townhouse.

"You met someone, didn't you?" Kira smirked. I guess she was thinking the same thing.

His face got red as we piled out of the car. "Psh, no." He shrugged it off. We all walk in with our stuff in our hands.

"Nash, you can tell us." I softly tell him. He smiles as he looks at us. "Yeah. I did." Kira and I squeal as we jump around.

He shushes us as he sits down. We sit next to him so we can get his tea. "What's his name?" Kira asks interested.

"Winston. He's really smart. A year older than me. He wants to be in an author." He explains to us.

"Does he live here?" I ask. I don't remember anyone named Winston from our high school.

He shakes his head no. "He lives in Venice. In California." It was honestly perfect.

They weren't gonna be away for long. "I wanna see pictures of him!" Kira squealed.

He smiled as he pulled out his phone. He looks for a second and flips the phone towards us.
