Kie's POV:

JJ came over and climbed through my window, just like old times. I missed him so much. I fell right asleep listening to his heartbeat. My mind was full of lots of thoughts.

I felt like I had to pick between college and JJ. If you would have asked me in California, when I was with Gavin and all his friends, I would have picked college. But now, here, in JJ's arms, it's him. This is an impossible decision. I want to go to school, it's always been a dream of mine and I loved the campus in California, but that meant leaving JJ. I can't leave him, everyone in his life has left him - his mom, his dad. I can't be another person who walks out of his life. I love him way too much.

I woke up to my JJ playing with my curls, "Good morning sleeping beauty"

"Good morning" I smiled

"You look much better than last night"

"I was exhausted" I answered honestly

We got up and headed downstairs where my parents were having breakfast. My mom smiled and came over and hugged me.

"I missed you, so glad you're back home safe"

"I missed you too, mom" I said as she let go of our embrace

"Good morning, JJ" She smiled going back to cooking breakfast

My dad looked JJ. He was pissed that JJ spent the night.

"Morning, Mike" JJ said going to sit at the kitchen table

"Why are you in my house?"

"Spent the night here..." He answered honestly

"Seriously! You have your own tiny ass shack, stay out of my house"

"Dad.." I said embarrassed he would even say that

"Nah, Kie, it's fine. I don't need the ego boost of having a house on figure eight" JJ said helping himself to the food my mom was laying out on the table

I sat down and filled my plate too and so did my mom. My dad ate too and looked at JJ and said, "We had a great trip, thanks for asking. By the way, Kiara loved the school in California"

"Mike, calm down" Anna said

"Just letting him know"

"I can talk to her myself" JJ said annoyed

"Yeah, well there's a few things she might not tell you. Ask her about what happened after the tour in California"

I picked up my plate and grabbed my glass of orange juice and looked at JJ and said, "Come on"

I brought him out to our front porch where we sat on the large oversized couch and finished eating our breakfast.

"I'm really sorry about that"

"It's fine, doesn't bother me" JJ brushed it off

We ate and shared my glass of orange juice and then we headed home together. I unpacked my bag and started a load of laundry and I thought JJ had to work today, but he got the day off. Apparently, he helped my mom at the Wreck almost everyday I was gone.

"So what do you want to do today? I'm all yours" He smiled at me

I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to lay in bed. I've never felt like this before and I have no idea why or what's happening. I wondered if I was falling out of love with JJ. No, that couldn't be it. He's perfect. I just have so much on my mind. Shit, now I feel guilty for even thinking that I

"I'm still so tired.." I said

"Well then, let's borrow the HMS from John B and I'll take you on a relaxing boat ride and then we can come back and take a nap in the hammock"
