the next morning i woke up next to elena. i ended up staying over at her house because we stayed up too late and she didn't want me driving home.

i don't mind staying over, in fact, i love staying over. the hype house is just too much for me sometimes, and being here in her embrace is way better. honestly, ive been thinking of every possible way since she got here to stay over or have her stay with me because it just makes it easier.

i feel like ive just been drifting apart from everyone in the house because all they want to do is make content all day every day, and i just wanna live my life and post stuff whenever i feel like it. i don't want to be obligated to post because then it just makes me not wanna do it.
i've been wanting to talk to elena about this too and get her advice on what i should do.
she gives really good advice.

maybe ive been thinking out loud because i looked next to me and elena is starting to move and wake up.
i just looked at her as i waited for her to fully open her eyes.

she's not a morning person; she doesn't talk a lot in the mornings. it usually takes her a bit.

she opened her eyes and looked at me for a few seconds before moving her head onto my chest and then closing her eyes again.
i just let her sleep because i know she's tired.

a few minutes later she started moving around again, starting to wake up. she blinked a couple times and rubbed her eyes before finally opening her eyes and looking up at me.

she changed positions and then wrapped her arms around my neck.
"hi." she spoke softly before she placed a kiss on my cheek.
"hi," i looked at her and smiled.
she rested her head on my shoulder.

she yawned, "have you been awake for long?" she wondered.
"no, not too long." i shook my head.

"i missed you," she told me, looking up at me.
i looked down at her and smiled, "i missed you too." i responded.

i've been waiting for this for months. i never thought that we would get back together.
"elena.. did you ever tell me why you came to LA in the first place?" i wondered.
she looked at me and smiled.
"well.. michael was just coming here already, so i just came with him," she shrugged, "but i probably would've said no to him if you didn't text me like a day before that." she let out a laugh.

"oh you mean when i texted you 'i miss you' and you left me on seen," i clowned myself.
she laughed, "yeah," she nodded as she looked up at me, thinking it was so funny. 
i shook my head with a smile on my face. that was my dumbest, but smartest decision.

"i'm hungry," i told her.
"when are you not?" she joked.
i shrugged, "ion know, but can we go get food?" i asked her.
"sure," she shrugged, "from where?" she wondered.
"uhh.. " i thought to myself, "can we get burritos?"
"i'm down," she said as she took her head off my chest, "should i go get ready?" she asked.
"yeah," i nodded.
"kay" she said with a smile before she got up from the bed and headed to her bathroom to get ready
