{POV : Y/N}

I wake up in the morning and turn over and I am met with my boyfriend who is sleeping soundly. I can see him start to smile in his sleep. He mumbled my name as if he was speaking with me.

A hair falls onto his face, away from the ones tucked behind his ears and under his head.

His facial expression falters and I can see he's clearly bothered by it even in his sleep. Starting at his forehead I start to push it back to where it was before.

I can see his eyes moving under his eyelids and he blinks. He then wakes up, I must've done it somehow.

I smile at his as he adjusts to the light coming in from a nearby window.

"Good morning, David." I say in a sweet tone.

He starts to smile at me and he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me on top of him. He holds me close to him like I'm a rare treasure he wouldn't dare let go of.

I giggle into his chest. He kisses the top of my head and he lifts me up and suddenly we're standing up and he's carrying me to the kitchen.

"Sit there and I'll cook for you." He points at the counter as he starts to pull things out of the refrigerator and the cabinets.

I sit on the counter and watch at he turns the burner on and what I thought was going to be a romantic breakfast turns into the smoke detectors going off and we have to open all the windows.

I fall backwards onto the sofa pretending to be exhausted. He laughs and falls next to me making the sofa move backwards because of the force.

"I knew I shouldn't have trusted you to cook." I confess.

"That's like the only time I've ever burnt anything. I swear." He can barely contain his laughter.

He's trying so hard. I look over at him, his face is slightly red and he's tearing up. I can't help but laugh, subsequently making him laugh.

"We should just go to that cute diner near here." I say still laughing.

"Okay fine." He giggles.

We both get up and head to our room to get dressed.

I pick out a white shirt and a pink skirt and Dave has on what I would describe as a basic man outfit.

We walk outside and we get in his car. He turns on the radio and one of my songs plays.

I look over at him, my eyes wide. I didn't think we were good enough to be played on the radio. I really doubted myself despite the clear success that we were on that showcase thing.

He looks over at me a huge grin on his face. He makes me laugh. Again. Before he even starts the car he reaches over the space dividing us and he hugs me.

He starts to sing a long to a song he probably doesn't know is about him. All I can do is smile.

After a bit of driving we arrive and we park. We get out of the car and as we walk up to the big glass double doors we talk about what we're going to order.

We sit down and look through the menus on the table. I look out the window and I see three familiar guys park near us and walk into a shop next to the diner. I thank god they didn't see us. I feel a shooting pang of panic and I try to calm myself. I know I don't want to talk to any of them.

"What's wrong?" Dave asks.

"Oh my god. My ex and his friends literally parked next to us and are at the shop next to us." I say still looking out the window still not calm.

"Oh. Do you wanna leave?" He asks me.

"No it's okay. I know you're hungry." I say smiling at him while holding my own hand.

"Are you sure it's really fine." He says genuinely. He holds out his hand for me to hold.

My hands are freezing cold and I can see it on his face.

A waitress comes over and takes our order. We both get things too sweet to be having in the morning. She walks away to get our coffee.

"Oh shoot! I left my bag in the car." I say feeling stupid.

"It's okay. Here take the keys." He hand them to me.

I walk out and try to be quick as possible as to not talk to anyone on the way or to get back after the food is there.

I walk up to the passenger side and I grab my bag after opening the door. I feel a tap on my shoulder. My stomach drops. I swear if this is how I die...

I turn around to see it's Adam.

"Hey" He says, his voice almost breaking.

"Hi" I say quietly. I'm trying my best to leave as soon as possible.

"I've been wanting to talk to you." He stops.

"Especially about us..." He trails off.

"Well, I don't want to..." I say while trying to leave but he's in front of me, blocking my way and behind me is just the road. I'm trapped between our cars.

"I need to go can you let me?" I try as hard as I can to be calm.

"Please. I'm sorry." He pleads.

"Please. I have to go." I really don't want to cry.

He stays still and doesn't answer me. I wait a few more seconds while making eye contact. I then look down at his shoes. I push past him quickly after locking the car doors.

I speed walk back to the diner. I sit down and smile at David as he eats pancakes.

"I'm sorry I couldn't wait." He says mouth full.

"No it's okay. I took far too long." I say reassuring him.

"If you say so." He smiles

We both eat and we drive around for a bit. I don't know why but I don't feel the need to tell him what had just happened but I will when can. I guess I should just get it over with.

"Hey. So my ex kinda like confronted me in the parking lot? I was really scared because he didn't really let me leave." I say while still a bit shaken up.

"Really? I'm sorry. I should've gone with you. I didn't think he was the kind of guy to do that. Ugh! I should've gone with you!" He says blaming himself.

"No. No, it's okay. I didn't think he was the kind of guy to do that either. How would you have known? Don't feel bad about it." I say.

"I should've just gone for you." He says quietly.

"I'm fine though! See!" I show him my arms with no scratches or anything on them.

"That's just so creepy." He murmurs.

"I know right." I mumble.
