/// sorry for the late update! Almost every time i tried to get this chapter out a distraction would pop up. Now that the holidays are over (and the hangovers) I should be back on track :) hope you all had a lovely christmas and new year. Thank you again for reading still x ///
Christmas had finally come and gone, and my sights were now set on New Years Eve. I hadn't heard from Q since the day that he helped me move into Kara's. Other than the quick "Merry Christmas" text that I had gotten. I figured that he was still in a mood, which is why I wasn't worrying, because at least now I knew he'd still come around. He always had to have time to cool off, that's just how he dealt with things that bothered him- by not bothering at all. But, enough time had passed, and I decided that I was going to be the one to contact him. If I wanted to bring the New Year in with anyone, I would love it to be with him.
"What are your plans for new years?" I texted him.
"Was just gonna go out with a couple pals. Why?" He replied.
"Room for a small one?"
"Always"
I smiled to myself reading the text. We had only seem each other four days ago, but it had honestly felt like forever. I missed him.

Walking out of the airport, feeling the crisp winter air hitting every patch of exposed skin, I shuddered to myself, wrapping my coat around me tightly. If it was one thing that I would never be used to, the east coast weather would definitely be one of them.
"Hey California, looking pretty warm there." That familiar rugged voice came from behind me. I smiled before turning around, coming face to face with Q. I reached my arms for his shoulders, pulling him into a hug. His hands reaching around my waist. He was definitely not the type of guy that loved public displays of affection, but he seemed to have always thrown those rules out of the window more often than not when he was with me. Not that I was complaining.
"You definitely had the correct idea" I said, looking at his scarf and then up to the black beanie he was sporting. They definitely didn't match at all but somehow he had managed to pull it off. He smiled small at my comment, before noticing me shivering once more.
"Let's get you to the car before you freeze to death." He said as he grabbed my suitcase from behind me, leading the way to where he had parked his car. As we got in, he turned to look at me, his face looking concerned. "You sure you're just cold? You're looking pretty damn pale"
"Yeah, just didn't get hugely dolled up for the flight in the first place is all. No need to worry about me". I smiled towards him.
"If you say so.." He sounded skeptical as he strarted the engine. He was probably just worried that I was going to throw up in his car or something. He treated that car better than he treated most people..
We pulled up into the driveway of his house, I looked around his neighborhood through the window, taking it all in. I wouldn't have expected him to live in a house yet alone a place like this, I had always imagined a bachelor pad styled apartment so the difference between my thoughts and the reality was delightful.
As I got stepped out of the car, Q was already grabbing my suitcase out of the trunk. As I started to walk over to him to help, a wave of dizziness flooded over my body. I held onto the side of his car to try and regain my balance, holding my spare hand over my eyes to try and block out the spinning, when I felt Q's hand grab my upper arm to try and help hold me up. The more I tried to brush off the feeling the more it seemed to consume me. I could bearly make out the sound of Q's voice as he tried to speak to me, before it all went blank.
