Take a Picture, It'll Last Longer

• Chapter Three •

Several days have gone by since you first met Ted. Your friendship together was by far the most interesting one you've had.

From the first text he sent to talking on the phone at least once a day. It became such a regular part of your daily routine to talk for a couple hours with him.

As you're in your kitchen making yourself a box of Kraft mac and cheese, you feel your phone vibrate a couple times in your pocket. You reach for it and look down, seeing that Ted is calling. 'Of course.' you think to yourself with a smile on your face. You accept and place your phone onto the counter. "Hello Theodore, I'm kinda cooking mac and cheese right now." You say with a chuckle. "Hi (N/N)." He says sweetly. "Sooo, why ya callin'?" You ask. "I was bored. I just finished filming a video and I have to edit it later. And you said you were making mac and cheese? Homemade or box?" He asks. "Kraft box, too lazy to make homemade." You reply.

"Fair enough. You excited for Vidcon in a couple days?" He questions. "Wait what?!" You say confused. "Has time passed that quickly?" You continue. "Uh yeah, Vidcon happens this Friday. You're flight's tomorrow ain't it?" He says. "Oh god you're right. I completely forgot." You reply picking up the pot and straining the water out in the sink. "See, I'm useful. Are you staying in a hotel? Cause you know your always welcome to stay here at my place." He offers. "I dont want to bother you by being there." You reply while mixing all the ingredients for your mac and cheese. "(N/N) you wouldn't bother me. Charlie and Schlatt are staying here too." He says.

"Oh dope. Well as long as your okay with me being there then sure." You say as you place your mac and cheese into a bowl. "Cool, I'll let the boys know. I dont have a guest room but I do have an air mattress for you if that's okay?" He asks kindly. "Totally. Bro I'd sleep on the floor if I had to. I dont mind." You say with a chuckle, taking a spoonful of food in your mouth. "I would never make you do that." He says will a small giggle. "Alright well, I've gotta let you go for right now, I gotta edit this video. And then probably pass out for the night. Take care (N/N)." Ted says, "Take care, Ted. Don't overwork yourself." "I'll try not to. Byeee." "Bye-byee." You hit the end call button and laid your phone down. As you continue to eat your food, you turn on the TV to watch youtube for the rest of the night.

The sound of your phone alarm alerted you it was time to get up. You had to get ready to leave to go to the airport. You're bags had been packed the previous night before you had fallen asleep. Yet you still needed to take a shower and eat breakfast. So as you silenced your phone, you got up and started your day. Groggily you walked over to the kitchen and made yourself some cereal. While scrolling through your phone and eating you got a text from Ted.

@Theodore🥛
Good morning, let me know when you board your flight and what terminal you land at when you get to LA. Can't wait to see you! :)

You smile at your phone, finishing your last spoonful of cereal. Getting up and placing the bowl in the sink, you grab you phone and quickly text Ted back.

You make your way over to the bathroom and get ready to take a shower. Putting on some music as you move under the running water.

After finally getting ready, you grab your keys and make you way over to your car. Starting it up and driving toward the airport that was an hour away. As you sit in some minor traffic you jam out to your favorite music, excited for the day ahead of you.

Hours eventually pass and you finally get off the plane. Stretching your legs and grabbing your bag. Ted had offered to come pick you up, and you could tell from his texts he was excited. As you walked out onto the terminal you texted Ted where you were at. A couple minutes go by and you hear your name being called. You peak your head up from your phone and see Ted walking over to you, arms outstretched. You quickly began to sprint over him, being engulfed into his arms. "Ted!" You exclaim. "(Y/N)! It's so nice to see you!" He says happily, parting from the hug. You look up at him and smile. "I'm so happy to see you!" You reply. "You're shorter than I thought you were gonna be." He says with a large smile. "Hey!" You say laughing, playfully punching him in the shoulder. "Come on, let's get you back to the house. You're probably exhausted." He says chuckling.
