twelve | moving in and moving on

Ronnie's POV

Last week I graduated from highschool and summer was right around the corner.

Today I move out and my parents are helping me pack.

Tomorrow is my 18th birthday.

I'm so excited to move.

I'm moving into "party house".

I'm moving in with all my best friends.

We have got so close over the past half a year and god only knows what the rest of the year awaits.

Me and Colby are great but nothing serious has happened.

We haven't even kissed since movie night months ago.

But I like what we have.

He protects me and cares about me.

And I wouldn't change anything.

The guys have an attic that they don't use.

I offered to pay for the refurbishing but they wouldn't let me.

They are calling it a "house warming gift".

Everything is ready over there, I just need to move everything over and decorate.

As I take the last box of items downstairs.

I look back over my childhood home and think back at all the memories.

I walk outside to see my parents standing at the bottom of the drive helping Corey and Elton with all the furniture and boxes.

All the other boys must be back at the house.

I put the last box into the trunk.

I hug my parents and we say our goodbyes.

I wave as I get into the car.

"Hey Roomie!" Elton says from the drivers seat carrying out the 'e'.

"Heyyyyyyyyyy" I say mocking him.

We all laugh and speak about how I want to set up my room.

After 4 longs hours of unpacking and moving in.

My room is finally done.

It's perfect.

I lie down on my bed in exhaustion and look at my phone.

7:34pm.

I locked my phone and sighed.

Knock knock

I look up to my door and see Colby standing there.

"Come in"

He walks in looking around then sitting down beside me.

He smiles while not looking away from me.

His smile turns into a big cheesy grin.

"What?" I say giggling.

"Nothing it's just that I'm really glad that you decided to move in" he says still smiling.

"I'm glad I moved in too" I say still smiling.

"Come here" he says holding open his arms.

I move closer to him and embrace his warmth.

"New cologne" i say sniffing his shirt.

"Yeah I don't know about it, do you like it?" He says looking as if he desperately needs my approval.

"Yes I love it" I say to him as he begins to smile again.

"Good"

We sit there for a while, just hugging in comfortable silence.

"You'll always be my girl" he says lifting my chin up to face him.

"And you'll always be my man" i say feeling genuine happiness.

He cups my cheeks and kisses my forehead.

He stands up and walks to the door.

"Night babygirl" he says while closing the door.

He still managed to give me butterflies.

I enjoyed our relationship but I was terrified that it would be something more.

I have never been so ready to feel fear that I have with him.

Here's to a new start.
