Noah's POV

One month later

"What time are we leaving again?" Hunter asks me.

"Seven am"

"Ugh that's so early" she complains. "I guess I should head home and start packing"

"You haven't packed yet?" I ask with annoyance.

Me and Hunter are flying out to Boston tomorrow morning for Ava and Colby's graduation. We have had this planned for a week now. It is no surprise to me that Hunter waited until the last minute to pack but I thought she would have at least packed a day before we left.

"Hunter I swear I will leave you here if you are late"

"Chill I'll be on time" she gets up from the couch. "You seriously need to get laid" she mumbles.

"I heard that"

"I don't know what you're talking about" she proceeds to leave. She's not wrong though. Since me and Colby made up we have been back to how we were before I was a complete idiot, but nothing physical has happened between us besides just kissing. She also had to focus on her finals so we haven't been able to visit one another for the past three weeks. I need to stop thinking about this before I need to have another cold shower.

I head to the kitchen to grab something to drink. On the way up to my room I pass my moms office. I stop when I see her and my ma laughing.

"What's so funny?" I ask, walking into the room.

"Me and your mom are looking at some of you and your siblings' funny baby photos" my ma says.

"This has always been one of our favorite photos of you" they show me the photo. It's of me on my first birthday with a face full of cake. I've seen this photo hundreds of times. I will admit that I look very adorable and that it is pretty funny. I took smash cake literal that day.

Although I have seen this photo so many times, seeing it right now is making me think of something.

"Is there a photo of Tobin or Nina like this?" I ask. I swear I have seen this photo but not of me. It feels like I am having deja-vu but I can't put my finger on it.

"No. It's just this one of you. Your siblings weren't as enthusiastic about their smash cakes like you were" my mom laughs.

"Weird" I mumble.

"What is it?" my ma asks.

"Nothing its just I swear I have seen this photo before but not of me"

"I can't think of anyone in the family that has a photo like this" my mom answers.

"Me either" my ma says.

"I'm probably just confused or something" I shrug it off.

"Do you think it's something that you might have seen during the four months?" my mom asks.

"I don't know. It's probably nothing" I tell my moms. "But anyways I'm going to go to bed. Have an early flight tomorrow"

"Okay sweetheart. If we don't see you in the morning, have a safe trip and tell Colby congratulations for us"

"Will do" I tell my moms goodnight and head to bed.

I try to fall asleep but I can't stop thinking about that photo. I need to focus on tomorrow. It's a special day for Colby and not focusing on her is not what I should be doing.
