Dont - Ed Sheeran
"Kai!" My cousin yelled as he watched me walk out of the airport. Since Ive been away we went from seeing each other every day to I now haven't seen him in close to three weeks.
It was very close to the end of September now and I was happy to be home. A lot happened when I was gone and I'm just glad i have to deal with it all from a distance. I loved them but jesus was the drama and tension running high.
"You have no idea how much I missed you." I said, hugging my cousin. We were the same age, him being a few weeks older than me. His name is Liam and we're into basically the same things. We grew up together and in doing so we just grew up to have the same interests.
"I have no idea?! Bitch, you have no idea!" He yelled. He took one of my bags and we walked to his car in the car park.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors for aux!" He said, turning towards me from where he sat behind the wheel. We played three rounds and I won, of course. The first song I played was Don't by Ed Sheeran.
"Such a good song!" He yelled, backing out of the parking space. "But, I wanna know how your time was."
"It was fun! So much drama and you know how much I love drama." I laughed.
"Any boys?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"Yeah, his name's Jack. We went on a few dates." I said with a big smile and a shrug. "You?"
"Nah, nothin' new." He shrugged. The bridge dropped and we both shut up and blasted the song.
I knocked three times on the dashboard before screaming, "ON MY HOTEL DOOR! I DONT EVEN KNOW IF SHE KNOWS WHAT FOR!"
"SHE WAS CRYIN' ON MY SHOULDER, I ALREADY TOLD HER! TRUST AND RESPECT IS WHAT WE DO THIS FOR!"
"I NEVER INTENDED TO BE NEXT! BUT YOU DIDN'T NEED TO TAKE HIM TO BED, THAT'S ALL!"
"AND I NEVER SAW HIM AS A THREAT! UNTIL YOU DISAPPEARED WITH HIM TO HAVE SEX OF COURSE!" Liam screamed, rolling the windows down as he hit 80 on the highway.
"IT'S NOT LIKE WE WERE BOTH ON TOUR WE WERE STAYING ON THE SAME FUCKING HOTEL FLOOR!"
"AND I WASN'T LOOKING FOR A PROMISE OR COMMITTMENT BUT IT WAS NEVER JUST FUN AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT!"
"THIS IS NOT THE WAY YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU WANTED, ITS A BIT TO MUCH TOO LATE IF IM HONEST! AND ALL THIS TIME GOD KNOWS I'M SINGING!"
"You always know how to pick the songs." Liam laughed, turning the music down.
"You're so real for saying that." I laughed back.
"Want some food?" He asked, glancing over at me.
"Hell yeah." I said, putting my hand out the window.
"Thank fuck." He said, checking his blindspot before changing lanes.
I was fucking happy to be home.

"Momma!" I sang as I walked in the door.
"Kai baby!" She yelled, walking to greet me at the door. "How was your trip?" She asked as she pulled me into a hug.
"It was good, it was good!" I said, hugging back.
"Meet any boys?" She asked me. She pulled away and grinned at me.
"Why is everyone so focused on my love life?" I asked, laughing as we walked to sit on the couch.
"We saw your instagram post about Jack." Liam said as he walked through the downstairs bathroom door.
"You guys are terrible." I laughed, putting on youtube.
"You're the terrible one, giving us no details at all!" Liam yelled, jumping next to me on the couch.
"It was nice or whatever! He's a very sweet guy and I quite like him or whatever."
"Kai's gotta boyfriend." Liam mocked, my mom joining in.
"You are absolutely terrible." I laughed. I out on Tommy's newest video and watched as they teased me relentlessly.

My phone rang with a call very late in the night. Okay, so it wasn't late, I just have hella jet lag and knocked out at 6pm. 9pm is late for me right now. I'm still on fucking uk time zones.
I looked at the caller ID and Jack's name appeared there. It's two in the morning for him, the fuck is this brit calling me for?
"Hello?" I asked, my voice deeper than expected. I could actually just fall back asleep right now.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" He asked, voice sounding exhausted.
"Yeah, but it's fine. What's up?" I asked, my eyes shutting slowly.
"Can't sleep, can I try and sleep on the phone with you?" He asked, yawning after his words. I hummed out a response, falling back asleep quite quickly.
When I woke up the call was still going and it was almost noon. Fifteen hours this fucker stayed on with me.
it was nice
