Always You || Simon Minter (miniminter)

Chapter 39

6 MONTHS LATER

Life since Ibiza has been pretty crazy.

Since returning home life has really picked up for me, I started streaming as well as YouTube and I have been doing incredibly well, much better than I was six months ago. I also started being a part-time camera man for the sidemen as I have the experience and the boys were very keen to have me help them and to be honest, to be able to say I'm a part of some of the amazing content they make is such a proud achievement of mine. I'm now more stable with money and the sidemen have really stepped up their game too, with incredible sidemen Sunday's and such creative ideas they are all super busy but I am so incredibly proud of them we've all came such a long way, I'm growing with them.

But as we all knew it would happen, one by one the boys have been leaving the sidemen house, first Vik, then Josh which means it's unfortunately the end of the sidemen house.

A truly great place.

In three days time I am the next to leave the house, I have a stunning flat in central London. Why am I not moving in with Simon? Well it's simple, I just want my own space but don't worry, Simon and JJ are moving in together and guess what?

They live right next door to me!

Things with Simon and I have been weird since Ibiza, we are still together but it feels like something changed with Simon, I'm not sure if it was before we went away or during but when we came home he was different. He's become more hostile, he's became protective too, which isn't always a bad thing but when it's getting to the point where I have to tell him where I'm going and who I'm with then it's not okay. I love Simon I truly do but I can't get to the bottom of what's caused this and unfortunately it's driving us apart. Every time I ask him why he's gets angry and it starts a fight between us, which is something I don't want.

More or less everything from my room has been packed away and it looks like an empty shell, luckily I've had a couple weeks to get my new flat set up so that I can just move in and get on with life. I am currently packing away the last thing, my pc. As I'm unplugging everything I'm reminiscing about the times we've had in this house, all the laughs and even the tears. Playing GTA or Dead by Daylight with the boys late at night while all under the same roof, I'll miss it.

Oh god am I about to cry?

"Hey." I am ripped from my thoughts and I turn round to see a smiling Simon, leaning against the door frame.
"Hey there." I smile back at him, wiping the tears from my eyes.

"What's wrong?" Simon strides across the room in record time to my side, I always forget how long his legs are.
"I'm just sad about leaving the house." I say looking up at him. He brings his hand to my cheek and wipes away a stray tear.

"But think of all the fun we'll have in the new flat, we have not only one but two flats to pick from!" He takes my hands in his and holds them in the air, doing a cheering motion causing me to giggle. He's smiling, the smile that causes the corner of his eyes to crinkle up. A genuine smile, it's hard to see one of them from him these days.

It's times like these where things between us feel normal, times like this I feel a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I felt when Simon and I first met and it's a magical feeling. I miss this feeling. It's almost as if Simon can read my mind and he pulls me into his chest for a hug, wrapping his arms tightly around my shoulders.

"Are you excited for today's video?" He mumbles against my hair, rocking me side to side.
"I actually am, I'm excited to actually be there for this one and hopefully I get some cool shots of you guys." I pull away slightly and peek up at
him, a small smile still on his lips.
