Complicated // h.s.

twenty-five

*Year and a half later*

*Sawyer's POV*

I didn't see him. I haven't seen him or talked to him since our last phone conversation. I was okay though, at least I assumed I was okay. I was still breathing. I was still doing well in school. I still had friends.

But he was a missing piece of my life. I still loved him. The distance of a more than a year apart didn't stop any of my feelings towards him. It was nearly impossible for my feelings to change for him.

Although I was in some type of relationship with Keeton, I still couldn't stop thinking about Harry. Which Keeton knew about and he didn't say or do anything about it. He knew how I felt and he left it alone. He would try to get my mind off of it whenever I got into a rut about it, and it would help, but he would never yell at me for it. I admired him for that.

Keeton got on well with all of my friends from Beverly Hills, so we were currently on a trip to Hawaii after the conclusion of my sophomore year of school. I was reluctant of going to Hawaii at first because it carried so many reminders of Harry, but of course, I complied because that's everyone wanted to do and they loved the beach house out there.

"Want to go on a walk, babe?" Keeton asked me as he walked into our room.

I was currently on my laptop studying up on body language. Keeton walked over to me to see what I was looking at and he smirked.

"Why are you researching? You are so good at reading body language." Keeton smiled.

He kissed my temple and I moved over so that he could sit down next to me. My glasses were perched on my face and I was deep in concentration.

"I'm researching how to teach body language to people, Keet. I have to know how to explain and teach this to a person." I told him with a long sigh.

I pinched my waist causing me to flinch.

"What is my body language saying right now?" Keeton asked me.

I rolled my eyes. I was not in the mood.

"That you are trying to annoy the hell out of me while I'm busy." I groaned.

Keeton nudged his nose against my neck and kissed it. I let out a sigh of relief and shut my eyes. It was actually such a comfort being with Keeton.

"Come on, babe. Please go on a walk with me. I have to tell you something." He told me as he stood up from the bed and held his hand out for me to take.

I groaned and closed my laptop and grabbed his hand. He dragged me out of the bed and led be out of the beach house. We walked along the beach quietly holding hands. What did he have to possibly talk to me about that couldn't wait?

"Are you happy in this relationship?" Keeton asked me.

I mean, he was good distraction. I liked him. I didn't really love him.

"Yeah, of course." I nodded.

I put my head on his shoulder so that we were closer. He sighed and then went silent again.

"Promise me that you are going to listen to every word that I say. Listen carefully because this is a lot." Keeton explained.

I nodded my head and understanding. I was now getting anxious which wasn't good. I didn't take my anxiety medication in the past few days. I thought that I didn't need to.

"What's going on, Keet?" I asked growing nervous.

He stopped and sighed.

"Maybe we should sit down, yeah?" Keeton suggested.
