thirty

I woke up to a rather large pair of arms wrapped around my waist when I had tried to turn in my sleep. I open one eye and grab my phone looking at the time. It was quite early; about nine thirty. I scratch Grayson's arm, a habit I have found myself doing a lot when it's quiet. Grayson stirs and I immediately stop and freeze. He mumbles something before his grip on my waist becomes tighter. 

I let out a hum and feel a smile creep onto my face. I feel a kiss being placed on my neck and I'm then aware that he too, is awake. 

"Good morning." I whisper, turning in his arms to face him.

"Good morning." He replies back, his morning voice quite obvious as it is raspy and hoarse. His eyes were still closed but he was definitely awake for he was now playing with my long locks of tangly hair. 

"Sleep well?" I ask him, bringing my hand up to caress his soft cheeks. 

"Very well, especially since I got to sleep next to you," He says. "something I sure am going to miss when I leave." He adds, smiling down at me. His hazel eyes still showed tiredness and were smaller since it was early. 

"When do you leave?" I ask the boy.

"What's today?"

"Sunday."

"Shit." He groans, cussing from frustration. I frown because my only guess what that he was leaving today. "I totally lost track of time here for all my mind has thought about is you. I completely forgot that we are leaving today." He talks into his hands that now cup his face. 

I curl my lips and sigh, turning so my back is pressed against the mattress before I find myself staring at the ceiling. I hate, absolutely one hundred percent can not stand that he is leaving already. Feels like yesterday we were saying goodbye when I was leaving back for Oklahoma and here we are again. As I stare at the ceiling fan, circling and making laps, I feel Grayson press his head into my neck letting out a groan. His warm breath sending a tingle and the chills through my body.

"Do you have to?" I whine.

"Yes." He huffs. "We have a bunch of meetings in LA, have some videos scheduled with some friends, and we still have to get the apartment finished." He sighs, raising his head and propping in on his arm. I could feel him staring at me, making me turn my head so my green eyes meet his hazel ones.

"No." I pout, crossing my arms over my chest. Grayson lets out a small chuckle.

"Hayden."

"No." I repeat.

"Baby, don't be upset. I'll fly you and Emercyn out there as soon as the two of you are able to so we can see you guys and show you our apartment." He explains, pulling me closer to him. I sigh and roll over on my side and rapping my arm around his neck.

"Okay." I sigh.

We were at the airport, waiting with the boys until their departure. I sit next to Grayson with my legs cross and his left hand on my lap. I looked like complete trash with nothing but a pair of leggings, a hoodie, and some vans on. My hair was in the worst bun I had ever done in my life and I had no make up on.

Right before it was time for them to board the plane, fans showed up. Emercyn and I stood to the side as they took pictures and videos with the people who have got them to where they are today. Emercyn and I mind our own business, watching the boys interact with their fans. Some actually even asked us for pictures which took us by surprise. 

It was two minutes before they had to board. Grayson came rushing to my side pulling me into the biggest hug, lifting my up off my feet. My legs wrap around his waist as I squeeze him tightly. I could feel him leaving kisses on my cheek. "It's only a while, we'll see each other again soon." He says putting on a smile. I couldn't help but smile from how adorable he is.
