I Love You, Wherever You Are (Marianas Trench)

Chapter 7

3 months. I had been in Vancouver for 3 months and already my whole life has changed. Starting with Ian. He is the sweetest. We have a date at least every weekend and I hang out in his apartment when Cassidy has Matt over. Another reason that my life has changed is that I finally realized what I want to do with my life. I want to write. I'm not sure what yet but, I know that I love to write. I got home from work to find Cassidy rushing around the kitchen.

"Cass, you need some help?" I asked.

"Yes. I can't find our spices." she told me.

"We don't have many spices." I told her.

"Oh. Can you go get me some?" she asked.

I laughed and nodded. I ran to the grocery store across the street. I found the spices and bought some.

"Here you go." I said handing her the spices "Why are you so busy anyway?" I asked.

"Today is Matt and I's 3 month anniversary. So I am making taco's." she said.

"Oh. Where will this event be taking place?" I asked.

"Here." she told me.

"Great. How long will he be staying?" I asked.

"I don't know. He might stay the night." she told me so calmly.

I almost spit out the nacho I was eating.

"What? If that does happen I won't be able to sleep." I told her.

"Then making other arrangements." Cassidy told me chopping some peppers.

"Fine." I sighed.

I knocked on Ian's door.

"Hey Jem." Ian said.

"Hey Ian." I replied.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Not much. Can I uh stay the night maybe?" I asked.

"Why." he asked.

"So I don't have to listen to my best friend having sex with her boy friend." I told him.

He stared at me for a second. "Yeah, okay." he said.

I walked into his apartment and sat down on his couch. I was still wearing my annoying short skirt that was part of my work uniform. From the corner of my eye could see Ian staring at it.

"Like the view?" I asked.

"Yeah. I mean no. I mean I don't know." he said.

I laughed at him and walked over to him.

"Really Ian? We are dating. If we weren't dating I would be pretty pissed." I told him sitting in his lap.

"I know. I don't know what I was thinking." he said.

Ian kissed me. "Want something to eat?" he asked.

"Okay. What do you have?" I asked getting off of his lap.

"I don't know. Lets go check." he said standing up.

We walked over to his fridge. There was nothing but month old eggs and milk in it.

"Wanna order a pizza?" he asked.

"I think that would be best." I said.

Ian ordered a pizza and it arrived we sat on his floor eating like two 12 year olds.

"How was work today?" Ian asked.

"Just a normal day. Kelly freaked out on me again. She is great but she is always yelling at me if I don't get to a table fast enough." I told Ian picking up another slice.

"How was your day?" I asked.

"Good. Hung out with Mike." he told me.

We sat on the ground laughing at the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

"Jonny Depp is hilarious in that movie." Ian laughed.

"Yeah. Um, Ian can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Yeah." he said.

"Do you think it's crazy that I want to be a writer?" I asked.

"No. I think you should do whatever you want to do. I mean it's your dream. You should follow it." he told me.

"Thank you." I said.

"Now I have something to tell you." he told me. I nodded. "Next week. the band is going on tour for two and a half weeks."

"Thank you for telling me and not just abandoning me." I joked.

"I would never do that." he said.

We sat on the couch for hours and I think I fell asleep on there. The strange thing was that I woke up in Ian's bed, curled up to him, with his arm wrapped around me. I checked the time. 9 o'clock. Crap! I'm going to be late for work! I jumped out of bed and kissed Ian on the head. I wrote a quick note explaining why I am gone and left.
