.MAGCON IMAGINES.

Surprise. // N.M.

It's hard, having a boyfriend that can go off and live his dreams while you have to stay at home, in your dorm room at college, while you're still on the path that leads to your dreams. Nate goes from state to state, sometimes switches countries while I'm here in Florida, still trying to get out of college.

It's hard, not seeing him all that much. But when we see each other, it's all worth it. The distance doesn't matter, the other people don't matter. The only thing that matters is Nate and I, in each other's arms and happier than you could even imagine.

 Which is why I flew out to visit him. In California. I'm flying to California.

 I was planning on flying to Nebraska so I could see his mom and everything but he wouldn't be there for another two weeks and I was getting too impatient. So I called Sammy and he helped me set up everything.

My phone buzzed in my hands and I looked down at it. Nate was facetiming me. Well shit.

 My eyes widened for a bit but I answered, seeing that it was safe because Sammy and I were in a Starbucks.

"Sammy don't talk." I said and he furrowed his eyebrows. "Hey babe." I answered the facetime and Sam's eyes widened.

 "HI." He said before sighing heavily.

"What's wrong?" I asked and he shook his head.

 "Just miss seeing you. It's just been so long." He said and I sent an apologetic smile.

"Trust me, I know. Three months is a long time." I said and he nodded.

"I just wish I could drop everything and come see you." He said and I laughed a bit.

"I know how you feel." I said and he smiled at me.

 "Where are you? That doesn't look like your dorm room." He said and I laughed.

"Starbucks. But hey, I gotta go. Britt's in a hurry." I said and he nodded.

 "Alright well tell her I said hey and you can call me when you're free." He said and looked a little annoyed.

"Love you" I said and he nodded.  

"Love you too." And with that, I hung up.

 "What's wrong with him?" I asked and Sammy sighed. 

"He's been a little on edge lately. He talks nonstop about how distance sucks and how he wish you didn't have college and all that shit. He just really wants to be with you, every minute of the damn day." He said and I laughed.

 "Well he's a dumb ass because I'm on spring break, and I told him about it in February." I said and Sammy smirked.

"Let's go back to the house, yeah?"

-

Sammy pushed the door open and screams flooded my ear drums.

 "You cheated!" Gilinsky yelled and I rolled my eyes.

"How the hell do you cheat in mario cart Jack?" Johnson asked in a calm voice. 

"I don't know how you did it. But you did it! Tell me how you did it!" Gilinsky yelled and Nate's laugh rang through my ears.

 "Don't be such a pussy G." Nate said and I smiled at the sound of his voice.

Sammy led me to a room before he stopped me, so I was still hidden behind the wall, and turned the corner.

 "Samuel!" Johnson called and Sammy rolled his eyes before crossing his arms.

"You didn't bring me food you ass" Gilinsky said and Sammy rolled his eyes again. 

"I didn't go to get food." He said and I could see Gilinsky walk towards him. He turned in my direction and I held a finger to my lips.

 "The uh- where did you go?" He covered his slight change in expression and I mouthed the words 'thank you'.

"You guys are acting weird." Johnson said before he walked passed me and into the kitchen. Once he reached the kitchen, he turned and saw me but didn't make any change in his mood, so there was no suspicion towards me. "So uh- another round?" He asked and glanced at me for a second, looking back at Nate quickly.

"Why are you all acting like you know something that I don't?" Nate asked and I smiled.

"Because we know something that you don't know." Johnson said and laughed a bit.

  "What do you mean-" Nate said but walked into my view. He stopped talking and his jaw dropped.

He ran to me and hugged me before spinning me around a bit, causing a laugh to escape my lips.

 "You're here!" He yelled before putting me down. 

"No I'm at home." I said and he rolled his eyes.

 "How did you-"

"Sammy." I cut him off and he turned to Sammy.

 "Thanks man." He said and Sam smiled. 

"Anything for you dude." He said and walked into the kitchen with Johnson.

 "Okay I want a hug now!" Johnson yelled and ran towards me.

"Me too!" Gilinsky yelled and soon enough we were all in a giant, group hug.
