With Izzy’s hand in my own, we ran.

We ran nowhere in particular.

Finally we tired though, ending up in a park.

We collapsed onto the ground, Izzy had forgotten the worries of the past week, my ultimate goal was accomplished.

I rolled over so I was on my back, catching my breath as I stared up at the clouds.

Izzy was leaning on her elbow beside me, smiling that gorgeous smile.

Automatically my mind ran over the lyrics of its 4 u. I began to hum it under my breath.

Izzy joined in, singing the words, it was fun.

She lay down facing the other way from me, laying her head on my chest.

We sang random songs, and cloud watched, staying like that for over an hour.

“C’mon izzy.” I said getting up, looking at my watch. “Let’s go for ice cream. I would kill for a chocolate magnum.”

Once again I took Izzy’s hand in my own, and we walked back towards the small deli we passed while running to the park.

We were intercepted as we walked; a fan interrupted our world, claiming not my attention, but Izzy’s. It felt good not to be noticed, but at the same time I felt slightly jealous.

It was a girl, about the same age as izzy. She smiled at me. “Hey.” I said smiling back at her.

Izzy looked up at me with a surprised expression on her face; apparently she had filled the fans requests because she walked away from us without another word.

“Wow.” She sighed. “How does it feel not to be noticed?”

“It. Feels. Wonderful.” I laughed.

She laughed along with me; it made me laugh all the more.

If laughter took a form, hers would be bubbles, it was so light and carefree, and it was the centre of my world I couldn’t imagine life without it.

After getting our ice cream we sauntered back to the hotel, not saying anything, just enjoying each other’s company.

We walked along the corridor passing maddies room, she was alone, bradie must have been elsewhere.

Andy and Stacey were hard to miss though, outside of their room, making out.

Well that was a step up from their usual hug and then the occasional kiss on the cheek.

I looked at izzy, who was staring at them, dumbfounded.

Slowly I watched as a smile spread across her face, it was adorable.

I cleared my throat. They broke apart.

Stacey began walking away from Andy, but he stubbornly got a hold of her hand and she came back blushing.

“Well we can’t hide it now can we staz?” Andy said sliding his arm around her waist, not in an older brotherly way, but in a possessive way.

I noticed Andy was standing awkwardly, I knew that feeling too well.

“How long’s this been going on?” I asked Andy.

Izzy let go of my hand and walked up to stace getting hold of her and then walking into our room and closing the door behind them.

Andy stared after them with a goofy look on his face.

I could hear giggling and squealing from where I stood, I rolled my eyes at Andy. “Girls.” I snorted.

He nodded at me smiling.

“C’mon lets go celebrate the last few hours of you being twenty one, and you and stace. First things first though, I’ll tell the girls, you get the guys.”

“Deal.” He agreed and pulled out his phone to message them.

I knocked on the door “izzy?” I waited, not knowing what they were up to.

Stacey opened the door. “Yeah?” she asked.

“We’re going for drinks ok? Back soon.” Stacey nodded and shut the door.

I knocked again, Stacey opened the door with an annoyed expression. “Tell izzy I love her.”

Then I left, finding jimmy in the other room with Andy.

“Fuck me man.” Jimmy said “tomorrows gunna be one hell of a party. Andy’s birthday and the last show of the tour all in one night.”

“Fuck yeah!” I said getting the keys from maddie as she appeared in the doorway with them.

“The girls are in our room.” I told her.

“Thanks.” She said and walked down the hall.

“Let’s get outta here and go get the others.” I said walking back out of the room, the others following behind me.

I whipped out my phone and typed in a number I knew off by heart.

“Hello?” she said.

“Love you izzy.” I replied.

“I love you too Shaun.”

I heard laughter from the others.

“Tell them to be careful.” I heard Stacey say.

“Oh Shaun?” izzy said.

“Mmmmm?”

“I’ll pick you guys up. Call Geoff and the others, me and bradie will drive you home.”

“Izzy, you have no idea how much I love you right now.” I smiled into the phone.
