I wake up the next morning fairly early.
Kian is still asleep next to me as I crawl out of bed. I walk over to the window wall and look out on the beach. The sun is just at its last moments of rising into the morning sky. The waves are more calm than usual so there's not very many surfers out.
As I continue to stare out the window I feel Kian's arms wrap around me from behind. I lean my head back against his bare chest and close my eyes. I feel his lips gently kiss mine. I pull my head back up while still keeping my eyes closed.
"How come you're up so early?" He asks.
"Couldn't really sleep."
I open my eyes and continue to look out the window.
He rests his chin on my shoulder and takes a deep breath.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Just thinking."
"About what," I ask turning towards him.
"About everything," he says with a smile.
"And what about everything?" I ask returning the smile.
"What the past two years have been like."
"Well I think they've been the best two years of my life," I say.
He gives me a smile then kisses me again.
"You know where we should go today?"
"Where might that be?" He questions.
"The garden."
"That sounds perfect," he tells me.
"Good." I give him another kiss then we go downstairs.
I look up at the clock and realize it's only 7.
"I think I might go for a run," I say. "I shouldn't be that long."
"Alright."
I go back upstairs and change into my running shorts and a tshirt. I tie my gym shoes on then put my hair up into a messy bun.
"I'll be back in a bit," I say as I start to walk out the back door.
"Ok see ya," Kian says.
I start my run down the beach. The early morning December air feels good against my warm skin.
My mind starts to travel. I think about Erin and Jc. Where they might be right now. How long it'll be until I'll probably see them again.
The wind starts to blow causing more waves in the ocean. Only a couple more surfers have come out since I looked out the window earlier. I look up at the sky and notice the groups of dark clouds floating around. It's probably going to rain soon.
I continue down the beach just letting my mind fill with thought after thought. After I turn around it comes to Kian. When I told him earlier that the past two years have been the best of my life I wasn't lying. Coming to California was the greatest thing to ever happen to me and never did I think I would've met someone as great as Kian.
My thoughts come to a stop when I reach the house. I walk inside and the aroma of coffee fills my nose.
"I'm back!" I call.
"I'm still in the living room," Kian says.
I run upstairs and take a quick cold shower. I put on a pair if black leggings and a sweatshirt. I go back downstairs then sit on the couch next to Kian.
"How was the run?" He asks.
"It was good. It's kind of cold and it looks like it's going to rain though," I say.
I turn myself towards him and lay my legs across his lap.
"What are you watching?" I ask.
"I don't really know, I've just been flipping through some channels," he says looking a bit zoned out.
"Are you alright?" I question.
He seems to snap out of it when he turns his head to look at me. "Yeah, why?"
"You just kind of seem out of it," I say.
"I'm fine just thinking about everything."
"You know you can talk to me about it if you need to," I say sitting up and criss-crossing my legs.
"Yeah I know." He continues to still look dazed.
"Kian tell me what's bothering you," I say.
He turns the tv off and turns towards me.
"Things just don't feel the same anymore. I mean Jc is gone, Erin's gone, Sam's almost never around because he's with Andrea, Trevor's always off on his own, Connor and I almost never talk anymore, and I almost never talk to Ricky either. Just everything's changed."
"Everyone's growing up. Connor, Jc and Ricky are all 24 now. Jc has Erin and Copeland to take care of. Connor has Ashley. Ricky has new friends. Trevor's 18, and Sam still lives two hours away with Andrea. But guess what?" I say.
"What?" He questions.
"I'm still here," I say with a smile.
"I know you're still here," he says smiling as he pulls me closer. "I just miss how close me and all the guys used to be. I mean we don't even have o2l anymore. That kills me because I thought we'd be doing that for so much longer. That's what kept us all so close. It was so much fun but now we aren't just those kids from YouTube anymore, we're actually going off and living our lives on our own."
"I know what you mean. Just let the guys know how you feel. If you don't tell them you might end up loosing them," I say.
