Forever & Always ✮ Malachi Barton

•fifteen•

~Flashback (when you met me. Your buzzcut and my hair bleached. Even in my worst times, you can see the best in me) to before the airplane story was posted~ (A/N: Sorry. I had to do it) 

~Juliette POV~

I was packing my suitcase back up to head back to LA when I heard Dad shout, "Juliette! Can you please come down here real quick." "Okay! I'll be down there in like 2 seconds." I dropped the shirt I was holding and went downstairs. 

When I walked into the living room, Eleanor, Mom, and Dad were standing up in front of the TV, smiling and asked me to sit down. "Are you guys ok? You look like the people from Smile." El made a disgusted face and said, "No don't say that. That movie was way too scary." I sat down that there was a few seconds of silence then Dad finally said, "So me, your sister, and your mom had a very long talk about this and we have decided something." I was confused and a little bit scared when I asked, "You guys are scaring me. Can you just tell me please?" "We bought a house in LA and we decided to live there. FULL TIME!" My mom said. "Wait what about grandma and Alyssa. She can't be my manager from across the entire country. And what about El. She has friends here." 

My mom laughed and said, "Don't worry. We asked them and they are okay with living in a guest house behind ours." Then El spoke up and said, "And I can make new friends. I already have you and Momona. I'm a very social person. Making friends is easyyyy." After that, I smiled and was finally happy about it. I started jumping and repeating 'thank you'. Me and El decided to not tell anyone so it was a surprise. "When do we move?" I asked. My dad said, "When you finish your movie, you will come back here and we start packing and we hope to move by the time school starts up again. I smiled again. 

~End of Flashback~
~Still Juliette POV~

We were like halfway there and I turned to Alyssa and asked, "Are we staying with the Barton's again?" She looked up from her phone and said, "Yeah we are.' She smiled and continued, 'You think you'll be able to not tell Malachi, Momona, and Mason about the move for 2 months?" "Nope.' I said confidently but then said, 'Well I think I can do it but it'll be very hard. Anyway. Not to change the subject but I will. (A/N: did ya'll catch the Percy Jackson reference) Is anyone picking up or are we taking the airport Uber thingy to the airport car rental thingy?" She hummed thinking about the answer and said, "The Barton's. They're gonna take us to the car rental. By the way, do you wanna get the same car if they have it?" "Yes!' I screamed, 'I loved that car." She laughed at me and said, "Ok. Stop screaming." 

~Time Skippp~

"Juliette.' I heard Alyssa say lightly shaking me. 'Wake up. We're landing." I groaned and woke up. 

When we landed, we got our luggage, I gave a LOT of people autographs and took a LOT of pictures. I checked my phone and it was like 12:30. When we walked outside, I saw Malachi. I ran up to him and jumped into his arms, and hugged him. He hugged me back so tightly that I couldn't breathe. "Malachi. Can't. Breathe." I said strained. He let go and when I saw his stupid smile, I just wanted to yell my little secret out. I just wanted to tell him. But me and El wanted to keep it a secret. She even made me pinky promise I wouldn't tell them, and I don't like breaking pinky promises. I then hugged Felicia and asked where Loren was. "Malachi get their stuff and put it in the back.' She then turned back to me and said, 'He's at home getting lunch ready. We're gonna eat pasta." I smiled and said, "Yay! My favorite!" She laughed at me and said, "I know sweetie. That's why we're making it." 

By that time, Malachi put all of our stuff in the back and we got in the car and started to drive to the airport car rental thingy. When we got there, they luckily had the Jeep we were renting before and then we put some of my stuff in the Jeep. Malachi opened the door for me, and when I got in he checked if I was fully in the car before shutting the door and getting into the driver seat and following Felicia's car all the way back to their house. 

"AND IT RAINS IN YOUR BEDROOM. EVERYTHING IS WRONG. IT RAINS WHEN YOU'RE HERE. AND IT RAINS WHEN YOU'RE GONE. CAUSE I WAS THERE WHEN HE SAID FOREVER & ALWAYS." I was screaming 'Forever and Always(Taylor's Version)' (A/n: Legit one of my favorite songs) and I saw Malachi looking at me from time to time. "Keep your eyes on the road Seaweed Brain." He laughed and said, "Seaweed Brain? How did you come up with that?" I crossed my arms and confidentially said, "If you can call me 'Wise Girl' then I get to call you 'Seaweed Brain'. It's only fair." 

We hit a red light and he looked at me and said, "No. Wise Girl and Seaweed belong to Percabeth. I'll find something stupid, original nickname for you. And you come up with one for me. Deal?" He said putting his pinky out of a pinky promise and I put my finger up to my cheek, pretending to think about it. I then smiled and said, "Deal." Linking my pinky with his and the light turned green again and he started driving. 

We finally got home and I went to open my door but then Malachi said, "What are you doing?" I looked at him confused and said, "Opening my door. What else?" He shook his head and said, "No. Wait for me. I need to open your door for you." He said with a serious face and I laughed, "You don't have to." I said, taking my hand off the door handle. He started nodding his head and said, "Yes I do. Pretty girls shouldn't open their own doors." I smiled, put my hands up and said, "Sorry. It won't happen again." He smiled, got out of the car, and ran over to my side opening my door saying, "M'lady." He put his hand out to help me out of the car. I laughed again and said, "Thank you sir." He went to go get all of my stuff and when I tried to help him he told me that he would do it. 

"Are you sure?" He nodded. I still tried to grab one of my bags but he picked me up by the waist and walked all the way to his front door and then walked all the way back to the car. Felicia came up to me and asked if I was ok. I nodded and said, "Yea. I was just thinking.' I turned to her. 'You know you raised him right?" She laughed and said, "I'm happy you think that."
