While Away

As the weeks turned to months, Sebastian and I became closer, if that was even possible.  I continued hanging out with Chace and Harry, but the connection with Sebastian was still different.  Chris continued hanging out too, allowing the two of us to become better friends.  He'd even come over just to get away from the monotony of the stage, even if the other guys were busy or out of town.  My apartment also allowed him to get somewhere that people wouldn't know to look for him at.  I had done a good job of setting the friend zone boundary, letting him know I wasn't in a place to date at the moment.  So, if he decided to push the zone, it was a fun flirt, but just a friendly one with him.

Harry left first.  It was only going to be for a few weeks but we'd gotten used to having each other around, so we knew it would be different.  He insisted we go to dinner with just a few of us.  This didn't include our larger group, just our inner circle.  Those of us that hung out in our apartments together and were comfortable crashing at each others home.  Basically, Sebastian, Chace, Harry, and Charles when the latter was in town along with myself.  The night before leaving to visit his dad, Harry, Sebastian and I stayed in and made brownies. Harry waited until he left to post on Instagram.  He would usually cut half of my face out since he wasn't private.

Then, Sebastian had to leave for work.  He and I texted all the time and used FaceTime once we were both done working for the day. He was starting to prep for The Thundebolts and I had my own work. Chace was in Canada for work and Chris was at a point of two shows a day sometimes, leaving him exhausted and crashing as soon as he got home.  So, it was just going to be me for a bit.  I wasn't at a point where I'd want to hang out with anyone else that we would if the guys were home.   I was fine just relaxing at night and working the next day.  Besides, I could always get ahead in some things so when people were back, I'd have time to spend with them.
