I decided I'd go back to LA for a few days, then head home. Tucker eagerly agreed, and I booked the same flight as his. After meandering around in the airport for about an hour, they announced that our flight was now boarding. We were wandering all the way on the other side of the airport, and barely made it in before they shut the doors. Relieved, we both collapsed into our seats, which were in different parts of the plane, and began to laugh. The old man sitting next to me suddenly turned and looked at me with a large smile.

"Your boyfriend I presume?" Everything in me tensed up.

"O-oh no. Just a r-really good f-f-friend." I stuttered. The man chuckled and went back to reading the newspaper that he had sat on his lap. I sighed and turned back to look at Tucker one more time, but he was already asleep, snoring softly.
-------
The flight went by extremely quick, probably because we were exhausted. But soon enough Tucker and I were in an Uber on our way home.

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Till there was a battle cry
I'll come back...When you call me
No need to say goodbye

My music played, relating to what has happened between Tom, Tucker, and I. The lyrics explained everything that had happened. Tom's relationship with me starting very small. Then it grew and grew and grew because our love for each other was strong. But so is my love for Tucker. It's like my heart is torn in two pieces and one belongs to Tom and the other belongs to Tucker..both equal in size.

Just because everything's changing,
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before.
All you can do is try to know who your friends are as you head off to the war

Everything is changing. And in the song's case, my friends are Tom & Tucker and the war is my love. Except this war will never end..my love will never choose Tom or Tucker. My heart belongs to both of them.
-------
Tom arrived back at the house in LA three days after Tucker and I. Apparently he had a weekend in Texas that neither of us were aware of. So of course the minute he opened the door, I pounced.

"Why didn't you tell us anything?! We were worried sick! Then you just start tweeting and posting pictures where you were obviously drunk! We didn't know where you were exactly and-you asshole, don't do that to us!" And just like that, I hugged him. It was surprising how natural it felt, how easy. I heard Tom chuckle and felt his head lift to look at Tucker who was laughing at the top of the stairs.

"Is she okay?" Tom joked.

"What? You haven't met the over emotional obviously-on-her-period Sonja?" I broke away from Tom, dashed up the stairs, and slapped him on the arm.

"No respect!" I yelled, which caused the both to double over with laughter.

"Actually I had an idea, if both of you would kindly follow me!" said Tom enthusiastically, reopening the door. Tucker and I shot each other a confused look, almost as if we were asking the other if they knew what was going on, but after we both shook our heads we hurried out the door after Tom. He refused to tell us where we were going, even though the whole time Tucker and I were pestering him like crazy. Finally we arrived at a park and Tom lead us toward a large tree facing the sunset.

"No...." I whispered, a small smile forming on my face. I looked to Tucker and his face was the same as mine.

"Yes!" Tom whispered back. He grabbed on the lowest branch and began to climb. He stuck his hand down to me once he was about one-forth of the way up. "Here, I'll help you up." He said.

"Pfft! I don't need your petty hand! I know this tree better than even you do Thomas!" I said, swinging myself up branches with ease until I reached where Tom was. I peered back down at Tucker who had started climbing with a grin that stretched all the way across his face. And the next thing I knew, we were all sitting side by side, me in the middle, on a large branch, staring at the setting sun.

"Memories am I right?" Tucker murmured, tracing the letters "S", "T", and "T" that we had carved into the trunk all those years ago.

"Yeah." Tom and I replied together.

And in that moment, with our arms wrapped around each other's shoulders staring into the sunset, life was perfect.
-------
I guess you could say that all this time I had been believing a lie. I thought that a girl's heart should only belong to one man, but I was wrong. Because sitting there between my two best friends made me realize that I loved them both with equal parts of my heart.

So instead of making everything in my life a now or never choice, I've decided to be content with the crazy amazing life I'm living in the present. Because I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring, and frankly I'm not scared like I used to be. I know now that will always have Tucker and Tom to back me up, no matter what relationships I fall into and no matter where life leads me.

But don't think of this as the end, consider it the beginning of something far more amazing.
