The last couple of weeks have been pretty rough. At least me and Katie have been hanging out more which I've enjoyed. I'd love to say that she's my best friend and I hope that I'm hers too. Her and Jordan have been talking nonstop on the phone with many video chats whereas it's been different for me. Yeah, me and Jon have talked most days, we have been distant. This time apart from him has made me miss him like crazy and my mind has been all over the place. From my meet up with Jordan to talking things out with Katie, it has made me feel so confused but I have come to a decision. There's the main thing that I need to do.
I dial the number that I had saved from my meet up and my heart is in my stomach. I haven't told anyone my final decision. "Hey Kelly, how are you?" I hear as soon as they answer their phone. "Hi, I've made my final decision. I didn't want to say anything to anyone until I was sure that I wasn't going to change my mind." I hear their breathing and I wonder what is happening at their end. "What's your decision?" They ask. "I would like to take you up." They laugh. "Excuse me, what did you say?" Oh crap I didn't mean to say it like that. At least I've made them laugh. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I meant I'd like to take you up on your offer if that's still available?" I ask cautiously. "It's okay, relax, it made me laugh and I knew that wasn't what you meant. Of course it is. When are you thinking of coming?" Now it's my turn to laugh. Oh my goodness, this is awkward but hilarious. "I was thinking of coming with Katie." Okay this is getting worse. "You know, if anyone was to listen to this conversation, they'd be thinking we're planning a three-some or foursome." I sigh. "Jordan, you're terrible!" He laughs.

"You're just as bad, Kelly

"You're just as bad, Kelly. Does my brother know you're into having those, hmm?!?" He teases. "I could ask that about Katie with you, although I don't think she would want to share you with anyone." I taunt him back. "Fair point. I wouldn't share her either. So, I'll get your tickets sorted then and get them sent to you." I thank him and we exchange brief goodbyes. I shake my head and rub my temples.
I spend the rest of my day baking and playing with my fur baby. I did send a text message to Jordan asking him to keep it as a surprise for both Jon and Katie. He said he doesn't like keeping anything from either of them but agreed it would be a great surprise so he didn't mind.
I send a text message to Katie asking if she wants to meet up and she wants to go shopping so that's the plan for today. I'm not the biggest fan of shopping but it'll be nice to spend time with her.
We exchange hugs when we see each other. "Hey bestie!! I've missed you!" She squeals. I laugh. "It's only been a few days since we last saw each other." She grins but then frowns. "Hey, what's wrong?" I ask her, feeling concerned about her. She's normally so vibrant and full of excitement. "I feel lost and lonely, I miss him so much. It's hard only seeing him through the phone screen." I hug her again. I try to reassure her. "It won't be long til you get to see him again and I'm sure he'll be feeling the same way as you do." She smiles and wipes her tears away. I pass her a napkin from the holder on the table. "He always checks in with me to see if I'm okay which is really sweet and I don't want him to worry or spend more time worrying about me when he should be enjoying himself on tour. This is his time and I want to support him. It just doesn't feel as easy as I thought it would, I feel like I'm being really selfish." She opens up. "Katie, you're not being selfish and you're human. You have valid feelings. I'm the selfish one here, me and Jon have been so distant. Which is down to me, I'm sure of it." I find myself sniffling. It's her turn to pass me a napkin. "Anyway, are you sure you still want to go shopping?" I check to make sure that she is okay. Her face looks brighter. "Yes. I want us to go to a certain store." She has a glint in her eye that's got me both curious and perhaps worried. What is she planning? My goodness, her and Jordan are both so alike, it's unreal. It makes me think and wonder if me and Jon are similar in our ways. I miss him so much and I can't wait to see him again.
