JANUARY

It's been four months since I moved to California for college. Katie isn't my roommate here, but she lives just across the hall. I've got a different roommate; her name is Faith and she's deaf. I've learned sign language since I've been here so that I could communicate with her. She's super cool.

Nathan comes to visit every weekend since he's going to school at UCSB.

Nathan and I have started to make videos on YouTube again and we love it. We post a video every Saturday.

The people here are wonderful too. No one freaks out when they see me because I'm famous on the internet or was dating Ayden Carson and I love it.

I've been going to a lot of parties and making friends here. The parties are great, they're so full of life.

I haven't been dating anyone at all. I've slept with a couple people, but that was when I was shit faced drunk and didn't know what the hell I was doing. Yeah, I kinda regret it, but it was fun at the time.

I've met a lot of different famous YouTubers while here in LA. I met all of The Black Lights, a YouTube group, and they are wonderful. I go over to their house sometimes when I can to hang out with them. They're all just so full of life.

The communication between Ayden and I have been minimal. He's on tour and we barely talk. When we do talk, it's only texting and it isn't for very long.

Ayden is doing a show in LA this weekend and asked if he could visit me. Me being stupid and missing him, I said yes.

Who knows what this weekend holds.

"Are you even listening to me?" Katie's voice pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, yeah I am." I lie. Katie told me to go shopping with her so she could pick out a dress. She's meeting her boyfriend, Jake's, parents for the first time tonight and just had to get a new dress.

Her and Jake have been dating for two months and they are just the cutest couple. Sure, Katie ditches me sometimes to go hang out with him, but I always make use of my time.

-Ayden's POV-

"You sure you'll be okay?" Mason asks me as we walk out of the airport. I'm about to go to Molly's dorm and I'm more nervous than ever.

"I'm sure." I lie. Mason doesn't believe me.

The ride to her dorm is short. I text her to let her know that I'm here and she tells me she's on her way down.

I haven't seen Molly in four months and I don't know what to expect. Of course I still love her, but will that change?

My jaw drops a little when I first see her.

Her hair is shorter and it's dark purple now instead of pink. It only goes down to her upper back. She's wearing black jeans and a white t-shirt with Vans. She looks... stunning.

"You changed your hair." is all I manage to say as we stand five feet from each other. It takes everything in me not to rush over there and kiss her as hard as I can.

"Does it look bad?" she starts to panic, messing with her hair.

"No, no it looks great." I honestly tell her. It makes me happy to know that she cares what I think about her hair. I love it.

"Do you want to come up?" she asks and I nod, following her up to her room.

Her room is messier than ever. Not what I expected. It's bigger than I expected though.

Molly and I stand in silence for a few minutes.

Before I know it, Molly and I are both rushing to each other, crashing our lips together. I hold her face and she runs her fingers through my hair, tugging on it. We back up, hitting the wall with force.
