Alex's POV:

A week later,

Avery and I were again in Los Angeles. For the past week, spending time in Arlington, I could really say it was really fun. This sort of dilemma has been ratified by myself. Of course, as what I said before, I'd make an exception for only Avery despite the circumstances faced upon.

Oh. Babysitting her nieces and nephews was the best thing I've ever done while staying in Texas. It was also the first time I told Avery how I wished to have children when I was still with Alexa. And now everything was gone between Alexa and I, I told myself to look up at the present, not to be busy living in the past. To be honest, being an only child brought me a lot of perks and it made me a teenage wallflower. Avery and I loved to carry those sweet little children her siblings have, and now today isn't the right time for the two of us to have kids since we're both busy. College. Tour, interviews, performances.

The cold winter in Arlington really reminded me to get back in Sheffield immediately. It was already snowing as we got back in L. A. Again and again, swarms of people wouldn't take their eyes off in front of us. I've never been to any parts of Texas (except for Austin), but thanks to Avery for bringing me to her hometown. Someday, I'm gonna take her to my one and only heart, Sheffield.

I made us breakfast and coffee everyday. Avery didn't even get good sleep in this entire week since her pre-finals examinations are occuring. Every night, she'd stay here in my home, and in the mornings, she'd go back to hers just to prepare everything. I gave her my home keys so she wouldn't have to worry about everything. And she did the same to mine. Our thing always.

I spent my whole day in the studio, meetings, and rehearsals shit. When I got home, it was around 9 in the evening, there I saw Avery, sitting comfortably on the couch with a laptop and phone in front of her and reading something from her notes and printed papers as she bit the tip of her pen. She's wearing those Eagles shirt and gray pajamas that she borrowed from mine. And the fireplace was lit on to make herself warm. Tomorrow's be the last day of her examinations...

"Gotcha", I tickled her on the armpit and she squealed.

"Rude", she was about to grab my arm, but instead, I was the one who grabbed her pen. "Give me that, or else I'll fail for the last day"

"Nope"

" Whatever" Avery gave up as she sat down again on the couch, focusing on reviewing again and I can't help myself but to disturb by singing God Only Knows by The Beach Boys, in which made the both of us laugh and then it faded away after as I gave space for Ave to study harder for the lessons.

I was about to strudge my way to the kitchen but suddenly Ave stopped me, my head cocked;

"Can you ask me some questions from these notes I've taken and printed?", Avery flicked the pages of every paper from her notes, "I've only studied the key words so that my brain wouldn't explode from too much memorizing everything", she chuckled.

" Alreyt", I sat down again beside her and immediately grabbed the notebook and printed papers,

" Did you just do that on purpose? "

" No cheating, darling", I fake a threat. "And don't be nervous because I'm going to ask the easy ones", I smirked.

Avery just rolled her eyes and sighed, "Go on"
