The next two days flew by. We spent most of the time playing Just Dance and Skyping with Kylie. Sophie and I went shopping, and found the boys stalking us through the mall. We spent the rest of the day in Hot Topic, because Sophie, Dalton, and I practically chained Cole to the wall. I had never spent so much money in one place before, but it was wonderful. I had an entirely new wardrobe, and I wasn't ashamed.
Sophie and I spent hours putting away all of my new clothes and hanging up posters and making my apartment awesome, while the boys watched TV and played games.
The last night, I felt like I was going to die inside. Sophie and Dalton had fallen asleep, and Cole and I took our nightly walk. We sat on the swings, holding hands in silence for a long time. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry. He was leaving in the morning. I had this sinking feeling that I wouldn't see him again, but I pushed it away, trying to focus on just being with him.
When it hit 1 in the morning, Cole and I stood up and walked in silence back to the apartment. Neither of us said much of anything as we crawled into bed, holding each other as tight as we could. I was facing him tonight, my head up under his chin. He was shaking as he held me, and I looked up at him with a sad smile. It felt like the airport all over again. I didn't want him to go. "I'll always be with you." I whispered to him softly, resting my hand on his leather bracelet, the twin to mine. He smiled back at me and kissed me softly before I fell asleep.
I woke up alone. I felt empty on the inside. The air mattress was deflated and back in the closet, everyone's stuff was gone. I wanted to cry. I was ready to wallow in my self hate when I heard someone in my kitchen. I instantly got my hopes up. Maybe they hadn't actually left yet.
I threw the door opened and screamed. It wasn't the boys or Sophie. It was someone better. "KYLS!" She screamed in return and we ran to each other, squeezing the life out of each other with a hug. I let go and felt the tears down my face. "How?! How are you here right now?!" Kylie simply grinned at me.
"Well. I got a Skype call from a certain someone last night while you were sleeping. My flight just got in half an hour ago." I looked behind her to see multiple suitcases. "Guess who just moved in, bitch!" I couldn't believe it. I had no idea how her parents had agreed to it, but I didn't question it at all. I pulled her into another hug and happy cried. "Oh! Girl! We have stuff to do tonight!" She pulled out a flyer, and I frowned. Cole hadn't told me about a City Walk show tonight. I shrugged it off as my phone rang. I grinned as I answered it.
"You like your present?" He hadn't even let me say hello. Typical Cole.
"Cole, you're the best, you know that?" He just chuckled.
"Oh yeah, I know. So, you coming to the show tonight?" Aha! There it was! It must have just slipped his mind. I smirked, though.
"Actually, Kylie and I have things to do tonight, so we won't be able to make it." I could almost hear him pout as I winked at Kylie.
"Well then. I left you another present in your closet. So you won't feel lonely when I'm not around. I gotta go now, rehersal and stuff." We said our goodbyes and I ran to my closet. butterflies filled my stomach when I saw what was hanging on the back of the door. I recognized it at once. His blazer. The blazer that Cole wore in all of his shows. Well, he would get a treat when I showed up wearing that.
"Girl! We going to City Walk tonight! First thing's first. I actually do have things to do. xD. But at least I get to finally do something with the spare room! There's a closet and everything. So set yourself up, I'll be back in an hour or so." I put on my most professional outfit that still had my rock flare before I left the apartment, heading down to XIX. I had an interview today to hopefully get myself signed. It helped knowing some of the boys from IM5, and having had sang with them on stage more than once.
