Falling down is how we grow. Staying down is how we die

(Oli)
Your pov

2 years ago Oli quit YouTube joined the army. Don't get me wrong, i'm really proud of him but life's not the same without Oli around.
8 months ago, he got deported to Texas and hasn't been in touch for the past few weeks but on the last Skype call he said he comes back in a 6 weeks. I was going through the photos of me and Oli on my phone and found a one which i decided to post on instagram.

@yourusername: 'I could hear my heartbeat. I could hear everyone's heartbeat. I could bear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.'
Missing you more than words can say, but you're making us and our country proud so i have to be strong for you. No matter how hard that may be. I love you ❤ @oliwhitetv.

@yourusername: @jameswhitetv. I know Oli misses you too buddy. He'll be home soon☺️❤

I was reading through all the comments and i didn't realise i was crying until i heard the door. I didn't bother making myself look somewhat presentable as i was wearing one of Oli's jumpers and some pyjama shorts. I went to the door and opened it.
"What are yous doing here?" I ask to the buttercreams (not Oli) and James.
"Oh hi to you too." Joe laughed.
"Oh yeah um hi," I say awkwardly "Come in." Everyone walked into the living room and we greeted each other.
"You know Oli wouldn't want you crying over him. He's coming home in a month. You don't need to worry." Joe whispers as we hug, Joe has always been like a brother to me and been there when Oli got deported.
"I know, it's just i don't feel the same without him by my side." I reply.
The boys persuaded me to have a shower as i haven't had one in like a week. Once i was finished in the shower i dried my hair and put it up in a ponytail. I went into our bedroom to get some clothes and i saw one of the boys had laid some out on the bed for me:

Once i was dressed i walked into the living room and saw all the boys on the sofa with a BIIIG bowl of popcorn and films on the coffee table.
"So, what we watching?" I smile as i walk and sit between Joe and James.
"Coming home" Conor smirks
"Ugh fine. But its not my fault if im a crying mess by the end." I roll my eyes and giggle abit.
"Im glad your abit happier now y/n." Jack says
"Yeah" I sigh, it doesn't mean i'm actually happy. It just stops people asking why im so down all the time. We finished the film a few hours ago although none of us really watched it i just stared at the wall for most of the time. I was on my phone but not paying attention and the rest of the boys were texting each other, i don't know why because they're all in the same room. Strange, strange people. There was a ping and i got knocked out of my trance.
"Hey, why don't we go to that hill you really like and have a picnic for lunch too?" Jack asks after looking up from his phone.
"You know it's 6pm though?" i reply
"Well a late night picnic then" i just sigh, it was where Oli took me on our first date from being in La.
"Come on, you could do with getting out. Please" Mikey whines.
"Ugh fine" i say going over to put my shoes on.

Once everyone has their shoes on i grab my car keys and Olis keys and walk into the garage. I get a text from my mum and reply
"So, who's driving wi-" i start saying before i look up and see the boys have separated themselves between mine and Olis range rovers "Oh okay then." I go over to Olis and hand Jack the keys
"DONT crash it, we drive on the other side of the road and car by the way, so you miiight wanna sit in the drivers seat?" I say as i notice hes sitting in the passenger seat and Joe, Conor and Josh are in the back. Jack just laughs at my remark
"Im just messing with you" he says as he scoots over to the drivers seat. I get in my car with James in the front and Mikey, Caspar in the back.
*
We arrive at the hill having stopped at Walmart on the way to get some sandwiches, fruit and cake for us all. Once we get to the top i notice there is two white sheets pinned tied to o some trees and a projector.
"Oh yeah, i forgot i set these up before we got to yours" Mikey laughs. We set the blankets up and Caspar puts the tape into the projector, i see the title come onto the screen 'im coming home' lots of little videos with us and Oli come onto the screen, god i really miss that smile. The sheets separate from each other and i can't work out who it is until he walks closer.
"OLI" I scream running up to him and wrapping my legs around his waist.
