I spent about an hour talking to Cyan last night, explaining my weird situation. Turns out she only lives about a 2 hour drive away from me and she's coming to stay for a few days. Mom's glad that I'm reuniting with an old friend and agreed to her staying with us.

Aspen also came over a bit after I hung up with Cyan. I missed him a lot. I told him about Cyan coming over and he said he couldn't wait to meet her. I'm guessing we fell asleep while watching a movie since I just woke up stiff and on the couch.

I didn't see Aspen anywhere in the living room. Voices then carried out from the kitchen along with the glorious smell of bacon. Standing up, I stretched and made my way over.

Aspen and my mom were sat at the table talking while they both sipped from steaming mugs.

"Hello sweetheart! There's a plate for you on the counter."

"Thanks mom."

I grabbed my plate and sat down beside her where there was already a glass of orange juice waiting for me. I smiled and took a sip. Sometimes I forget about all the little things my mom does for me.

I quickly ate and then did my dishes (even though I hate doing them) so I could get ready for when Cyan gets here. It's Saturday and I can already feel that I'm gonna take forever. Before I can get my foot on the first step, I am caged in warm and familiar arms.

"Hey, I'm going to head back to my house to shower and stuff. I'll be back after to meet your friend and hang with you. I love you."

I still haven't said that I love him back yet, and I can see it hurts him. But I just didn't think I was ready to say it out loud before. Saying it made it real, made the possibility of getting hurt real. But every time I'm in trouble he's there. He's there to help me when he can, or comfort me when I'm sad. Sometimes you just have to trust people.

"I love you too."

Suddenly I felt his arms drop and I turned around. He stood there with almost a blank look and I panicked. Just then his face broke out in a cheek splitting grin. He lift me up and pressed his lips against mine. When we pulled away his grip only tightened as he pulled me impossibly closer.

"I love you so much."

I giggles and snuggles farther in his chest. I totally forgot that my mother was also just barely a room away until the sound of clapping and a girlish squeal hit my ears. Looking over I saw my mom smiling and I couldn't help the blush that no doubt had risen to my cheeks.

"You guys are so adorable! Now as cute as this is, you both need to get ready. So come on love birds and get moving."

My cheeks burned and I ran up the stairs while I could hear their laughter behind me. Quickly I hopped into the shower and began my process of getting ready.

About an hour later, yes an hour, I found my self completely dressed and waiting on the couch with Aspen. Our wait wasn't long as it was soon interrupted by a knock on the front door.

Knowing it was Cyan, I jumped up and ran to the door. Throwing the door open, I was face to face with a taller and edgier looking Cyan. For a moment we both just stood there staring at each other when suddenly she grinned and pulled me into a tight bear hug. I was surprised but quickly pushed it aside and wrapped my arms around her while I heard her lightly whisper.

"It sure has been a while, hasn't it?"
