Strong Love

Chapter 23

*** ONE MONTH LATER!!***

"One picture can tell a whole story. Way better then a story could ever explain itself. Most stories have a limit to how much you can write and, or tell. With pictures you have your own thoughts and perspective on things. With out a limit to worry about." I say as I snap a picture with my polaroid camera. I look over at jc who's laying on the hammock beside me. A slight smirk comes across his face. "That's so inspiring." he says, I roll my eyes and laugh. I shake the picture and look at it. It's of the full moon just over the palm trees. "This is defiantly going on the wall." I say getting up and walking inside. Jc follows me in. I quickly check the time, 6pm. It's 6 already and it's almost dark. I seriously hate Winter. "I sit down on the couch next to Kian and Jc sits on the other side of me. "So what are you two doing for Christmas?" I ask curiously. "I'm going back home in two days." Kian says. "I'm going tomorrow night." Jc says and looks at me. I sigh. "I wish I was coming with you." I say and wrest my head on his shoulder. Then I feel a vibrating coming from my pocket. I pull out my phone to see Jenn calling me. "Hey, what's up?" I ask answering the phone. "When are you getting back? Because we want to go out for food or something?" She asks, I can heard Andrea singing randomly in the background making me laugh a little. "I'm coming back now. bye!" I say and hang up. Kian and Jc both look at me. "I should head home now." I say with a smile. Jc laughs and gets up, walking me to the front door. "I'm going to miss you so much." I say hugging him in the door way. "Me too." he says resting his chin on my head. I get out of his grip and kiss him softly on the lips and walk to my car. 

I walk in the door of the apartment and into my room. I get the polaroid picture and a piece of double sided tape, sticking it onto the wall with all the other pictures. I step back and smile. The wall is filled with pictures from the last couple weeks. I gaze at a few of them. In one of them Jenn, Andrea and I are wearing matching tiger onsies. Another one is a close up picture of Jc and I making a funny face. And one of Ricky, Sam, Connor and me taking a group picture. And my personal favorite, the one of Kian giving me a piggy back. All those memories are amazing, I would relive them all if I could. I lay down on my bed in a starfish position. "Come on, lets go to tacobelle!" Jenn says with her penny board in hand. "Alright." I reply and grab my penny board. Me, Jenn and Andrea ride together to Tacobelle.

Once we get there Jenn orders all our food and Andrea and I sit at a table. All our Penny boards next to each other below the table. Jenn comes with our food and dumps it on the table. "The amount of food we buy is actually disgusting." Jenn says sitting down. Andrea and I both laugh and I take a bite out of my taco. "This dosn't feel right." Andrea says putting down her taco. Jenn and I both give her a look. "Chelsea should be here. Eating tacos with us. Telling us how fat we are for ordering all this. It just doesn't feel right." She says. Jenn nods. Ever since she's stopped hanging out with us, nothing feels right. I'm so used to sitting next to her when ever we eat and having her there to talk to when things aren't going great. My phone broke me out of thought. I grabbed it and answered. "Hello?" I say into the phone, taking a sip of Arizona tea. "Hey princess, I have some exciting news for you." I here Jc say on the other end. "What is it?" I ask curiously. "You're aloud to spend Christmas in the Caylen house hold." He says making me smile. "It's ok with my mom, you just have to check with yours." He adds. "Oh my gosh, ok! I'll check with her when I get back home from Tacobelle." I say not being able to stop smiling. "What!?! You went to tacobelle with out me!?!" He says offended. "Yep, and it's delicious." I say teasingly. "Ok well I'm hungry now, I'm going to get some food but I'll talk to you a bit later baby girl." He says. "Ok bye love you." I say hanging up. 

***2 hours later***

I turn off the tv and walk upstairs. Andrea's already asleep and Jenn's editing a vlog. I walk into my room the shut the door. I get into my Pj's and pick up my phone to call my mom. "Hey mommy." I say sweetly into the phone. "Hey honey, what's up?" She asks. She sounds pretty tired. "I know this is a lot to ask, but I was wondering if I could stay with Jc and his family for Christmas?" I ask scrunching up my face, waiting for her to say no. "Umm, I don't know." She says. "Please mommy, I'll come see you after Christmas. And I'll bring Jc so you can meet him!" I say hoping that will persuade her. "Well... Alright." She says finally giving in. "Thank you so much mommy!" I say grinning. "It's alright honey. Be good and call me tomorrow. Love you." She says. "I love you too." I say and hang up the phone. I can't believe how well this worked out. 

I went onto my computer and started editing a video I was going to post on YouTube. I'm going to start uploading videos on there now, I surprisingly have a lot of subscribers. It's probably because all the guys, Jenn and Andrea told everyone to subscribe but still. I finish editing the video. It's of me singing A Team by Ed Sheeran, and I'm not to sure if I'm going to regret putting it up or not. I hesitate but then started uploading it. It was going to take about an hour to upload, bloody California wifi always being slow! While it's doing its thing I decide to tell Jc that I can spend Christmas with him.

I put down my phone, brushed my teeth then went to bed. 

***The next day*** 

It's an hour until Jc's picking me up to go to the airport. I spent the whole day packing, mainly because I kept getting distracted by my phone and Jenn and Andrea who kept coming in and talking to me. I finally zip up my full suitcase and stroll into the bathroom to take a shower. As I take off my top I see the scar on my stomach. This scar makes me so insecure I can barley even look at myself. I turn away and get into the hot shower. I started thinking. How could Jc still love me, knowing that I have this hideous scar on my stomach. If we ever went to the beach or something he would probably get embarrassed of me. You see this is why I have these kinds of thoughts in the shower, no one can tell that you've been crying. I get out and get dressed into Christmas print leggings, a white oversized shirt and huge soft comfy cardigan. I through my light pink hair up into a messy bun and put on some mascara and slip on my Uggs. After getting ready I go downstairs into the kitchen. Andrea's on the couch watching Pretty Little Liars. "Hey, can you make me some too?" Andrea asks as I place the hot chocolate mix on the bench. "Sure!" I say beginning to make the warm beverages. When I'm done I walk over to the couch and sit down giving Andrea her hot chocolate. "Thanks Cali" She says taking a sip. "No problem." I reply and drink the whole thing. Andrea gives me a look and starts laughing. "Ahh. So when are you leaving?" She asks talking another sip. "Jc should be here any minute." I say nodding. "Alright. I saw your singing video by the way." She says with a crazed grin. I make a weird face and take our empty cups to the sink. "It was really good, have you seen the feedback? People love your singing." She says following me into the kitchen. "Really?" I say really surprised that anyone would actually enjoy my singing. Then there's a knock on the door. I race past Andrea and open it. I open the door to see Jc standing there smiling. "Ready?" He asks. 'Yeah. Just let me get my stuff." I say and race upstairs and grab my suit case. I quickly said bye to Jenn and went back downstairs. "Have fun kiddo! And have a good Christmas!" Andrea says giving me a hug. "You too, bye Andrea!" I say and walk out the door. 

"I can't wait for you to meet my family." Jc says as we walk into the airport. "Me too. Hopefully they like me." I reply. "Trust me they'll love you." He says. We put our suitcases on the luggage thing, and went through security. It was so funny watching Jc have to walk through the meddle detector about ten times. After that our flight got delayed so we wern't boarding for about another hour. So Jc being Jc, spread out across the whole row of seats and rested his head in my lap and started complaining. I laugh and take out my phone and go on twitter. "Nooo, pay attention to me!" Jc whinges. I roll my eyes and put my phone back in my pocket. "Ok, so why did you want me to pay attention to you?" I ask raising an eye brow. "I'm bored." He says pulling an over dramatic sad face. I roll my eyes and push him off my lap. He falls on the ground and lays facing down, trying to act dead. "Jc get up." I whisper still sitting on the seat. He doesn't answer. I kneel down next to him and lay on top of him. "Get up you butt." I say teasingly. I get off him and he sits up. "What'd you say?" He says grabbing me and tickling me. "Nothing. I didn't say anything!" I say laughing. "That's what I thought." He says and sits back on the seats. I sit next to him. I take out my phone and start listening to music. Jc takes the other earphone and we listen to Big Jet Plain. Jc puts his arm around me and I wrest my head on his shoulder. Before I know it I started drifting to sleep in his arms.
