I had told Matt that I had to go to my friends to help her pack because she is moving. It wasn’t a total lie, I did tell Oliver that I would help him pack; yep that’s right, Matt believe his story and is letting Oli move in! I’ve been at Oli’s for a few hours, we’ve watched two movies but I’m not sure what happened in either of them. I’m sitting with Oli and I’ve been looking at his eyes and his lips, and just him; his tattoos and all of him. “When are you moving in?” I asked when the second movie ended. “Matt said anytime this week, would you help me pack?” he had asked and I nodded. We packed some of his small stuff and then some of his clothes. He didn’t have a lot to pack tonight. I looked at this time and it was past ten at night. “Oh crap, Matt is going to get mad if I’m not home soon.” I said and ran to get my bag and my shoes. “I’ll walk you home.” Oliver said, and with that we left his apartment. The fifteen minute walk from his apartment to my house was silent except for a few times when a small conversation would come up. When we got to my house there were no more cars there except for mine and Matt’s car, we share a car and split the cost of the payments on it. Oliver walked me to the door and kisses me goodbye. “Goodnight Love.” And he handed me a sheet of paper. “What’s this?” I asked unfolding the paper. “I never did give you my number. Text me in the morning.” He said, and with that he left.
I turned and opened the door. Matt was cleaning in the kitchen. “Need a hand?” I asked and set my bag on the table in the front hallway. “Yes please.” He said and we quietly cleaned. There were Red Solo cups and beer bottles everywhere. “So my mate Oliver is moving into the spare room next to yours…is that okay with you? Like, are you going to get along alright?” Matt asked, and I had to turn around so he would see me smile. “Yeah it’s fine; it’ll give me time to get to know one of the members of your band before your next tour.” I said as I kept smiling. “Actually, Abby, I was wondering if you would come on tour with us, I promise our bus has an extra bunk for you. I want you to come because I was thinking of renting out the house while we are gone for a little extra money. Any used rooms will be off limits, but any others are fine. Would you come with us?” Matty asked and I bit my lip so I didn’t scream in excitement. “Sure! Where are you guys going?” I asked and continued to clean. “We are going to the American Warped Tour 2008. It’s going to be really fun and there are A LOT of good bands going!” Matt said, stressing the word ‘a lot’. “YES! You know I’ve always wanted to go to the USA! Oh my gosh I’m excited! When do you leave?” I asked, practically screaming. “On the 1st of June, so in two weeks.” Matt answered as he threw away the last of the cups, “Just make sure you’re packed the night before.” He added on. “Alright.” I answered then went up to bed after I showered.
**Two weeks later**
The past two weeks have gone by so slowly! But today I have to finish packing to go to America with my brother and his band! I’ve been listening to their music more because I’m going to some of their shows and I don’t want to be that one person who doesn’t know the songs. It’s been going really good with Oliver, and nobody seems to notice so it’s nice. I really like Oliver still, and my feelings grow every time I see him; which is a lot because he lives with us now. I mean I can’t ever fall in love with him, right? I am sitting on my bed, scrolling through Tumblr and listening to music just like every other day. I heard a soft knock on my door. “Come in.” I said, not wanting to get up and actually answer it. Oliver walked in and smiled, “We leave in the morning; I hope you’re packed by then.” He came over and sat next to me; I closed Tumblr and shut my computer. I smiled at Oli, “I will be ready, and I’m almost done packing anyways. I already took off of work for the time we will be gone. I just have to finish packing my clothes and a few other things.” I replied and set my computer back on my desk. “Well let’s get you packed now.” He replied and stood up, grabbing my hand and walking me over to my wardrobe, “So what are you bringing for clothes?” he asked and opened the doors. “BAND SHIRTS, jeans, shorts, and so on.” I said with a laugh. He helped my grab all of my band shirts and set them on my bed, I grabbed the rest of the shirts and a few hoodies I wanted and set them with the others. I went and got my jeans and shorts and put them on the bed also. “Where are your suitcases?” he asked and began folding my shirts. “I’ll get it in a bit.”I said and sat down and began folding shirts too. He kissed my nose, “That’s’ some fancy folding.” I said while watching him fold for a minute. “I guess, why don’t I finish folding and you go get your bags?” he said and I nodded, standing up and walked out of the room. “Where’s Matt?” I yelled while walking downstairs. “He went to the store to get some stuff for the plane ride.” Oli yelled back. I walked into tour storage room on the main level; I got out my bags and put Matt’s in the kitchen for him. I looked around; I’m going to miss this place. I grabbed my bags and walked back upstairs and Oli wasn’t in my room. I set my bags down on my bed and started neatly putting my shirts and pants into the first one. I heard a noise and saw Oli walk out of my washroom with a few towels and washcloths, and small bottles of shampoo and body wash. “Can’t forget these, Love.” He said with a smile, placing them each in their own small plastic bag in case they exploded so they wouldn’t get on my clothes. “Are we going to have a shower on the bus?” I asked and took the bags from him. “Yeah, from what our tour manager told me, we should.” He said and helped me finish putting my stuff in my first bag. I took out the next, smaller bag and put my purse and wallet in there. “I’m charging all of my things and I will pack them and the chargers in the morning.” I said and he nodded, “I’m doing the same thing.” He said and walked out of my room and I heard him doing something in him room. I put my bigger bag on the floor in front of my dresser and left the smaller one next to my bed.
After about ten minutes Oli came back into my room with a small bag in his hands. “What’s that for?” I asked and he sat down next to me. “For you.” He said with a small smile. He handed me the bag and I pulled out a small navy blue box. “What is it?” I asked and he smirked. “Open it.” He simply said. I opened it and it was the cutest thing ever; it was a black double finger ring that said ‘Love’ “For you, Love.” He said with a smile. “I love it, Oliver. It’s so thoughtful. It’s so cute. Thank you.” I said, I kissed his cheek then hugged him. “I had hoped you’d like it.” He said with a small laugh. His phone went off and he pulled it out of his pocket. “It’s Matt, he said that he’s going to stay overnight at Matt Kean’s house and help him pack. He’ll be home around eight to pack and get his stuff.” He said with a grin, “You thinking what I’m thinking?” he asked with a smirk. “What are you thinking?” I asked. “MOVIES AND FOOD.” He said jumping up and running into his room. He came back with a few different movies. “What do you got there?” I asked and walked over to him. He had Pirates of the Caribbean, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Clue, and Death by Murder. “I LOVE THOSE MOVIES!” I shouted and he smiled. “I figured you would. Shall I call for pizza, it’ll be here as soon as possible…” he said setting the movies on my dresser. “Why don’t you go pick it up, it’ll be faster, and I will go set up everything downstairs.” I said with a smile and he nodded. He walked into his room and got his wallet and his keys. “I’ll be back in a bit, text me if you need anything.” He said and waved goodbye. I waited for him to drive off before I went to my wardrobe and got out my key and walked over to my bed. I pulled out the box and unlocked it. I pulled out a few blades and counted them. I put them back in the small box and locked it back up. I put the key in my purse and buried the box in the bottom of my small bag. I grabbed Oliver’s movies and walked downstairs. I set them on the entertainment center; I walked into the kitchen and poured two cups of soda and carried the bottle into the living room along with the two filled cups and set them on the table next to the couch along with the rest of the bottle. I put in Pirates of the Caribbean and let it go to the main menu. Within ten more minutes of listening to the menu music Oli pulled in the driveway. I opened the front door and waited for him to get the pizza out of the car. He handed me a smaller box and I set it on the coffee table. I opened it and smelt the heavenly smell of fresh baked bread sticks. “I love bread sticks!” I yelled and Oli laughed while closing the door and brining the pizza box over to the coffee table. He got two paper plates from the kitchen and napkins. “Oops, I forgot about those.” I said when he handed me a plate. “It’s okay, Love. So, are we going to watch the movie or just watch the menu screen all night?” Oli asked with a laugh as we got our pizza our of the box and some bread sticks to start. He just got cheese on the pizza, I was about to ask why; but then I remembered that he’s a vegetarian. We watched the movie for a while before Oli pulled me closer to him and I smiled up at him. “At least this time I know what we’re watching.” I said with a small laugh and Oli looked at me questioningly. “When we watched movies at your place- before you moved here- I had no idea what movie we were watching.” I said and started eating my second piece of pizza. “I wasn’t too sure on what we were watching either.” Oliver said as he took a sip of his pop.
Oliver and I talked during the entire movie but near the end he shushed me and I looked at him. He pointed to the screen; it was the end of the movie. Johnny Depp’s character, Captain Jack Sparrow, said the final line in the movie “Now, Bring Me that Horizon.” He said and Oliver smiled, “And there’s where I got my band name from.” Oli said with a smile and a laugh. I laughed, “Are you serious?” I asked and Oli smiled and nodded. Well, I don’t think he stopped smiling in the first place. We heard the lock on the door twist open and we moved away from each other’ Oli moved to the chair and I remained on the couch. Matt walked in the door and waved to us and we waved back. “I showed her where our band name came from.” Oliver said and Matt laughed and he went and grabbed his bags from the kitchen. We saw him take them upstairs and I could hear him quickly packing. “Good thing the door was locked.” Oli whispered and I laughed and nodded. “What movie should we watch next?” I asked standing up and taking the DVD out of the player. “How about Clue?” Oliver suggested and I grinned and put it in the player. “I always get a little freaked out during parts of this movie but I still love it.” I said and Oliver smirked at me and chuckled. Just as the menu was coming onto the screen Matt came downstairs with his bags, “See you in the morning! We’ll pick you guys up at 3am, we have to be at our gate by four-thirty; so don’t over sleep!” he warned and gave me a hug and said night to us. And with that he left after grabbing his bags; Oliver rejoined me on the couch and sat closer than before. The movie started and he pulled me into his lap and rested his chin on my shoulder.
Before the movie had ended Oliver was asleep and I was still on his lap’ but he had a vice grip around my waist. I smiled and after a few minutes of struggling I finally got out of his arms. I shut off the TV and ran up to my room. I lugged my bags downstairs and set them by the door. I plugged my iPod, phone, and laptop into the outlet in the front hallway. I walked back upstairs and got Oli’s bags from his room for him. I plugged his iPod, laptop, and phone in the outlet in the kitchen. I set an alarm on my phone for quarter to three in the morning. All of the bags were in the main hallway so we could get ready and go in the morning. I slid the bracelets off of my wrist and put them in my bag. I walked over to Oliver who was lying down on the couch, but still sleeping. I lay down next to him and he must have half woken up because he put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer he kissed my neck and whispered “Goodnight, Love.” He whispered and I felt his warm breath against my neck and I felt shivers run through my body. “Goodnight, Oli.” I said and soon after that we were both asleep, me in Oli’s arms. I felt safe there, like nothing and no one could ever hurt me while I was there.
