Slowly my room was coming together. I wasn't close to done, but we got here at 8 in the morning, and it's now 5p.m. I laugh a bit and continue dancing around my room singing along to "Nobody Love" while decorating. Suddenly I jump because I hear someone clear their throat. I look over and see a really handsome guy standing at my doorway. I walk over and turn the music off.
"Sorry I didn't know we had guests over." I said walking to the middle of my room.
"So I'm just a guest now?" the guy speaks up. I raised my eyebrow a bit indicating that I was confused. "You still do your eyebrow thing stud." My head snapped up and met his eyes. There they were. Those beautiful eyes. I gasped and put my hand over my mouth, I stood there for a minute before removing my hand and running up to him.
"JACK!" I yell and jump onto him wrapping my legs and arms around him. He laughed and held me tightly. I dug my head into his neck before tears started slipping. He obviously felt them because he put me down and pulled away wiping my tears.
"Don't cry. Why are you crying?" he asked me laughing a bit. I just shook my head and hugged him again. I held him as close as I could. Eventually I pulled away and looked up at him.
"I missed you so much." I laugh. "You've changed so much, yet at the same time not at all."
"I have to say the same. God Alexis. You're so beautiful." he blushes a bit and laughs. "But yet you're still my little stud." he laughs again and looks around. "You're style is certainly different! WHERE ARE THE UNICORNS? AND THE BUNNIES? AND THE PINK? AND THE STARS?" he looks around frantically, but yet very sarcastically. I smile but then it fades slowly. "What's wrong? I've seen you for 2 minutes and I've already upset you." he asks looking down at me softly.
"Just. The stars. Jack I haven't seen the stars the same like our last time. In New York the only bright lights you see are the actual lights around you. The whole city lit up overpowers the stars." I let out a dry laugh and look down. "But yeah. No more Pink. Well at least in my room. I still have pink clothes." I laugh and walks over to my bed sitting down. "White. Black. Those are mostly my colors right now." he follows me over to the bed and sits next to me.
"Guess you missed home then huh?" Jack smirks and grabs the stuffed teddy bear on my bed. "Mr.Teddy. You still have him?" he asks me pulling him up to his chest.
"Always." Jack gave me his favorite stuffed animal the day I left to New York. Something to remember him by. I never went anywhere without him for the first year. After that he just stayed on my bed. I look up at Jack and smile, "You gave me Mr.Teddy on one condition." I say outloud.
"I gave you Mr.Teddy as long as your promised to come back one day and give him back." he shakes his head looking down and smiling.
"I'm came back." I say tearing up again.
"My best friend came back." he looked over at me and kissed my forehead. He gently placed Mr.Teddy back on my bed and stood up. "I'll see you at dinner Stud. I'll even come back after and help you unpack." he smirks and walks towards the door.
"I'll see you at Dinner." I smiled as he left. Jack was always the only person who could give me butterflies. I just let out a laugh and continued unpacking.

"Alexis! Let's go!" my dad called from downstairs just as I was putting my shoes on again. This time my hair was loose, and I was wearing a gray shirt with some ripped jean shorts and my black vans. I also had thrown on some necklaces. I grabbed my phone and stuck it into my back pocket before walking downstairs.
"I'm coming! I'm coming." I say laughing as we all walk out the front door. I just couldn't stop smiling. I was so happy being home. I know you're probably thinking, Omaha, Nebraska? Why? Well it's my home. I really need to stop saying home. home. home. It's kinda annoying. I laugh at my own thoughts as we're walking over to the Gilinsky house. We walk up to the front door and ring the doorbell.
