"gray?"

crap, he found me.

owen walked in my room and stared at me for a good 10 seconds.

"hey." i said, with a shaky voice.

"why are you crying? i hate seeing you cry."

ive been in my room all day, avoiding owen texts & calls but the dude knows where i live.

ive stayed in my bed most of the day.

its like a breakup but without the relationship part.

"oh i dont know owen..."

owen becames the absolute biggest softie with i cry and its my favorite thing!

"maybe because you're moving to michigan!" i finished

"im sorry."

he got in bed with me.

all i could think about was how the deal was 3 dance lessons, 3 hockey lessons, & 1 date.

no where in there was there anything about falling in love.

"why didnt you tell me youve been upset?"

"i didn't want to bother you, youve been packing for college, so youve been busy."

"you made me worried, gray." he brushed my hair out of my face.

"dont worry about me."

"stop crying. theres no reason to cry right now, im here, arent i?" he asked.

"ill come home & see you. ill text & call."

summer break is approximately 84 days. ive only knows owen for 75 of those days, weve spent a few of those apart.

"why dont you go with me?"

"you're insane for thinking that i will." we let out a small laugh

"what time is it?"

"like 10:15." he answered

"owen! you're going to get in trouble!"

"you're worth it." he smiled.

"no im not."

"hey, can i sleep here? your beds to comfortable and my beds too cold without you in it."

"i wish owen. you gotta go home though." i said.

he signed, "no more crying?"

"can't promise that."

"i hate seeing you cry, it makes me feel bad." he said.

"well when you leave, you won't see me crying so."

"but i know that youll be crying." he laughed

he got up and looked at me, "get some rest babe. stop being sad." he said.

"ill try my best."

"nothing more, nothing less, just your very best!"

i laughed a little, he walked towards my door and made a heart with his hands, "thanks for coming over."

"absolutely babe."
