* Autumn's P.O.V.

Today was Chandler's first night here. I feel horrible that I had to make rules on his first night, but I didn't want to get stuck cleaning up after him everyday. I went to the kitchen to get an apple.

A: I'm going to the room. Okay?

He looked up from his phone and towards me.

C: Okay.

He smiled. I loved his smile for some reason. I went to the room and began to do some research. I got a call from my hologram. I aligned it with the computer ,just in case, Chandler came in. I pressed the answer button.

G: Hey. Can you see me?

A: Yes, Gabriel. I can see you.

He kind of chuckled. It was so adorable. Wait? What am I saying? I've never thought that before.

G: How's it over there?

A: Good.

G: I can't believe it's already been three months since you've been gone.

A: Wow, already.

G: Yeah.

A: Wow.

G: I know.

A: How is it going over there?

G: It's okay. It went worse, and now, it's back to good.

A: Really?

G: Yeah, whatever you did...helped.

A: Really?

G: Yeah, your mom said so.

A: I guess that's good.

G: Yeah.

Chandler knocked on the door.

C: May I come in?

A: Sure.

Chandler walked into the room.

C: Hi.

G: Hi.

C: I'm going to take a shower, Autumn. I have to go to the set tomorrow.

A: Okay.

He left out of the room because the restroom is outside of the room.

G: Who's he?

A: Oh, his name is Chandler.

G: How long has he been living with you?

A: Today is his first night.

G: Oh, okay.

??: Gabriel! They're here.

G: I'm sorry. I have to go.

A: Wait!

He hung up before I could say anything else. Chandler came in the room with his soaking hair. I began to laugh at how he reminded me of a wet dog.

C: What?

A: Nothing.

He began looking through his stuff.

C: Shoot!

A: What happened?

C: I for got my towel.

A: Here.

I went to my cabinet of towels and grabbed a gray one.

A: You can have this one.

I began drying his hair for him. He was staring at me funny.

A: What?

C: Oh, nothing.

A: Okay? Well, I'm going to sleep. Care to join?

C: Sure.

We went to sleep.

A: Mom?

S: Hey, Love.

Al: Come on.

A: No...

C: Autumn! Autumn! Wake up!

A: No, No, No...

I woke up crying and sweating.

C: It's okay. It's okay. I'm here. I'm here.

He hugged me so tightly. I felt safe and comfort in his arms. I finally calmed down and realized it was just a dream.

A: What time is it?

C: 2:30 a.m.

A: I'm sorry.

C: It's okay. Do you want me to let you go?

A: No! Um, no. May you just hold me?

C: As long as you want.
