Rachel's POV
It's the next day. All good things must come to an end eventually down the road. I knew Nash and I would never last. He lives in North Carolina and I live in Cali. Stuff like this would never work out.
They were leaving today. They as in Hayes, Nash, Jill, and Elizabeth. I was up wide awake as Nash was still sound asleep. He had his arms wrapped around my waist. My back was facing him as I just stared at the window.
I've been up for about an hour now.. Just thinking. Thinking of a future with the one and only Nash Grier. I knew I would have better opportunities here in California, I just didn't want to believe it. I didn't wanna go back to North Carolina.. I just didn't want to.
Sooner or later, I feel someone playing with my hair. I turn around and see a smiling Nash in front of me.
"Good morning," Nash says, with his eyes still shut.
"This is not a good morning, Nash.." I say, quietly.
We were never dating, but I would still like to think we were..
"And why is that?" Nash asks me.
"Because you are leaving today." I say, softly.
"We can make this work, Rachel." He says, leaning in.
I scoot back, getting out of his grip. He was shocked I guess?
"No Nash, we can't. You are going back to North Carolina and I'm here in California. We aren't even dating! Even if we did, long distance would never work.. You are just gonna forget about me like everybody else does." I say.
"Why would I forget about someone that is my world?" Nash asks me.
"Because that's what everybody ever does.. Leave. They leave." I say.
"I'm not leaving though." Nash asks me.
"Nash, you need to go back to North Carolina." I say, looking away.
"No, I'm not. I'm staying. Here with you." Nash says, getting at of bed and turning so I can face him.
"Nash.." I say, looking away.
He only uses his finger to lift up my chin and I find myself getting lost into those blue eyes I fell so madly in love with.
"I love you, Rachel. I want to stay here with you and start a life with you." Nash says, whispering and connecting his lips to mine.
"W-What if something happens to us..?" I ask him.
He puts his forehead against mine.
"Then it's us against the world." Nash says, whispering.
I send him a smile.
"Will you be my girlfriend again?" Nash asks me.
"Yes," I say, smiling at him.
Hayes POV •••
I woke up way before Jill ever did. I don't know if it was just watching her sleep or the thought that I had her in my hands again put my mind to ease.
I can't lose her. Since the past two weeks, I've been having nightmares. I didn't have one last night. I guess it was because Jill was in my arms. I love her.
I caress her cheek. Doing circles along it. I lean in and kiss her cheek. All the sudden, she turns her head and her lips are on mine. I pull her head closer to mine so the kiss can get deeper.
"Good morning," she says, smiling.
"Good morning," I say, kissing her cheek.
Last night was strange. Yes, Shawn did know I was going to California back to get Jill back. He told me they got in a fight.. But, that text was strange. Why would he tell us to put our love at rest?
