I am Cole-less this week. 

He left last night for California and I never realized how bad I would miss him. I mean it's only been eighteen hours. 

The only thing I am looking forward to is the day after he gets back, it's his twenty fourth birthday. 

He's so old now next year he'll be one fourth of one hundred. 

See like I said super old. 

He gave me a key to his apartment if I wanted to stay there and I took it even though I don't plan to. 

I love spending time there with him. Without him I don't know what to do with myself. Do I sit on his couch? Make food in his kitchen? Watch his tv?

Also with finals I should stay on campus in the dorms. I will probably study all night, wake up late and have to run to class.

Jasmine claims I am never around anymore but she really isn't either. She spends most of her time at Louis'. 

I think they are doing better I mean she sleeps over in his bed now. 

Deciding that I need a break from studying I close my text book. Grabbing my phone off my nightstand I text Cole. 

Me: I'm bored :(

Putting my phone down I open the drawer to get my chocolate covered gummy bears. The moment I pop one into my mouth my phone buzzes. 

Colebeans: Aren't you supposed to be studying?

Me: ya.....what r u up to?

Colebeans: Just got back to the hotel. Kai wants to go to the pool so we're about to head down there.

Me: pool party without me?😢 boo!!! tell Kai no more bake-less brownies for him

The dots appear then disappear. A few minutes later my phone starts ringing. 

I answer the FaceTime with a wide grin, Kai's face appears on the screen. 

He doesn't look happy. 

"Oh Kai." I say my face falling. I playfully glare at him. 

He rolls his eyes, "You better be playing about the brownies Delilah."

I shrug, "Maybe, maybe not. Why wasn't I invited?" I ask cocking an eyebrow. 

"Umm maybe because you aren't here."

"Still an invitation would've been nice."

"Ok sorry I will remember to invite you next time. Now are you still going to hold the brownies over my head?"

I laugh evily in my head, "Yeah."

He starts to say something but I hang up, placing my phone on the nightstand. 

I start to resume studying when my stomach grumbles. 

Ugh.

Getting up I throw on a pair of sweats and grab my car keys. 

I go to McDonald's and get their spicy chicken sandwich(two obviously), fries and a coke. Then I drive back to the dorms. 

Jasmine still isn't back which means she'll probably spend another night at Louis'

Sitting on my bed I unwrap my sandwich and take a bite. I just know theses are gods gift.

My phone pings with a message and sure enough Jasmine isn't coming back tonight. 

I can study in peace. 

Deciding I need to watch something while I eat I open my laptop. 

Then I put on Private Practice. 

I tried to get Cole to watch it but he said it was boring. Then I told him he was boring and he proceeded to tickle me until I apologized. 

We've definitely gotten closer since Cal's visit a few weeks ago. 

I think having his approval let Cole relax a bit. The thing is I think they might be besties now. 

No seriously they text about different foods and recipes all the time. My brother is stealing my boyfriend. Bailey would get a kick out of that. 

Well if I told her. I still plan to tell her once she gets here. I know if I do before then she'll start running through scenarios in her head. Worse she'll cyberstalk him. 

I am not scared she'll find something incriminating. I am scared she'll make assumptions about him. 

Like I said before she judges people instantly. Not that it's a horrible quality, it just sucks sometimes. 

Especially with Jasmine. I wish she would just try to like her. 

Anyways that's still over a week away and I have time to prepare. 

I think I'll ambush her. Ask her to meet me at a diner or something and bring Cole along. That way she has no time to sit and think. 

That is my strategy oh I hope it works. 

After I finish my meal and one episode of Private Practice I get back to studying. 

My eyes start to get heavy so I decide to take a little nap. Just for an hour or so.

Well that was the plan until I woke up ten minutes before class. 

I don't even change, instead I just throw a hoodie over my shirt and put my hair in a bun. Then I race to class. 

Ok so the good thing is I think I aced my finals. 

The bad thing is I am still tired as heck. Oh and I look like roadkill. 

People kept coming up to me and asking if I was sick. 

Anyways I head back to the dorm and plop onto my bed. 

Jasmine is there already making her bake-less brownies. 

"Movie night?" She asks and I nod.
