I wake up to my phone ringing and I pry my eyes open to the blurry world, tanning my phone to see Tom facetiming me. It's 4 am.
I click accept, turning my light on, seeing Tom's happy face appear on the screen.

"Hello!" He says and I run my eyes.

"Hey" I say giving a sleepy smile.

"Oh did I wake you?" He asks.

"Tom it's 4 am for me" I laugh, grabbing my glasses and slipping them on.

"Ahh I forgot! Sorry we have an hour till our flight" he says and I yawn, turning the hallway light on  and wanting my kitchen.

"Ahh I see" I say, grabbing a cup and putting milk in it.

"I'm sorry for waking you, you can go back to sleep" he says, a bit disappointed.

"Huh? Oh no I'll be fine. I'll sleep on the car ride to the house" I smile at the screen.

"You sure?" He asks and I nod.

"So what's up?" I ask him.

"Ahh things are good, I just had an apple, it was good" he says and I see Tessa make her way onto screen.

"Tessa" he groans but laughs.

"She's so cute" I gush.

We continue talk for about an hour until he has to get on the plane.

We hang up and I stretch.

I check the time, it being almost 6. I yawn and pour myself a bowl of cereal, connecting my phone to the tv and playing Friends. I sit on the couch as I eat my cereal. I'm starting the next episode when I get a text message.

Tommy:
Guess who's high

Tommy:
In the air

Tommy:
I'm not on drugs

Me:
Sometimes you act like it. 😌

Tommy:
That hurt.

Me:
Did it also hurt when Captain America beat you up?

Tommy:
Hey I could've won.

Me:
Just add a bit more cgi

Tommy:
Thank you for not treating me differently

Me:
I saw you when you were a little scrawny 16 year old. I'm not gonna treat you differently

Tommy:
Rude. I have gained muscle, I'll have you know.

Me:
Ya, and I grew taller.

Tommy:
I can't wait to stay up till 2 in the morning on the beach with you 🌊

Me:
Dork

Tommy:
Hey I'm Spiderman so it's fine

Me:
Tru

Me:
Hey I have to pack, I won't be able to text much.

I turn my phone off as I begin packing the rest of my suitcase, hearing my phone start going off. I look at it to see Tom Facetiming me.

"Tom" I groan, laughing as his face pops up.

"Why are you so obsessed with me?" I ask as I grab a shirt, throwing it on the bed.

"I'm bored" he whines.

"And I'm packing" I say, folding all the clothes and piling them in my suitcase. I shove all my makeup in it and anything else I need. I zip it ups and grab my bag, stuffing it with stuff I need. I grab my phone, laying back on my bed, laying on my right side.

"What time is it for you now?" He asks and I check.

"7" I smile smile tiredly.

"When do you go to the house?" He asks.

"We leave at 9" I yawn.

"Two hours to go" I say, turning my tv on but muting it.

An hour later and here we still are facetiming.

I move he screen so he is seeing the ceiling and I get changed.

"Sorry I was changing" I say poking my head back into screen.

"Honestly this is so comfortable" I say as I make sure I have everything.

"Am I missing anything?" I ask myself.

"Bucky?" He asks and I gasp, picking the cat up and putting him in his cage.

"Can't believe I almost forgot him" I say, dragging all my stuff to the door and turning the lights off.

"Hey I'll text you, okay?" I ask and he nods.

We hang up and Macy helps me get my stuff in the van.

••••

"Oh yes beach house, party time" I say tiredly, doing the running man like I do everytime we get here.

"How much sleep did you get?" Macy laughs as I sleepily drag my stuff into the house.

"Tom woke me up at 4 or 5" I yawn, collapsing on the couch.

"I'll get you a blanket" she says, before I feel a soft blanket being tossed onto me.

I smile, humming to Macy as I fall asleep.

3rd POV

"Hey guys" Sara whispers as she quietly opens the door for the Hollands.

"Why are we whispering?" Nicola asks.

"It's only 7" she adds.

Rob points to the couch, where Karissa is sleeping soundly, drool trailing out of her mouth.

"She passed out instantly when we got here at 2" Rob laughs, everyone putting their stuff in their rooms.

"I knew she was going to fall asleep when she got here" Tom laughs.

"When you wake her up at 5 in the morning, of course she is going to sleep" Macy teases him.

Everyone knows about the relationship between Tom and Karissa, even though the both of them refuse that it's anything more than friendship.
