the bad boy saved me

fifteen

(a month later)

it was one long, dreadful month. cody and i texted a lot throughout the time he was gone. he hated the business trip. he said there was nothing to do and he wasn't allowed to look around london on his own because his parents didn't trust him on his own. i won't lie, i was having a hard time without him here. i was crying a lot and really quiet. jake likes to bug me about cody and i can't wait for cody to get home tomorrow.

he's flying right now. he should land at about midnight tonight and said he'd text me when he lands. he also said he'd come see me in the morning and i'm excited for that. i hope his feelings haven't gone away because i have a feeling being away from him made my feelings grow stronger.

i miss his blue eyes. his bright smile. everything.

i fell asleep from one text from the boy i missed most.

cody: hey cutie, just landed and i'll text you in the morning when i'm coming to see you (-: xx

i was smiling like a cheshire cat as i drifted off into sleep.

the next morning i woke up at 9:00 and i had a text from cody saying:

cody: i'm coming to see you at 10 (: i can't wait til i seee youuuuuuu!!!

i immediately smiled and realized that i had an hour to get ready. i ran to my bathroom, almost slipping and dying, and went to get in the shower. after i washed up, i blow-dried my hair into my natural waves and did my makeup. then, i put on some short ripped shorts and a floral sweater and paired that with my grey vans.

i went downstairs and my brothers were dressed for their day. i went up behind each of them and hugged them.

"good morning boys. wonderful day isn't it?" i said as i went to get nutella toast and sit at the table.

they raised their brows at me, confusingly.

"why are you so happy?" jack asked.

"yeah you've been sad the last month and now you're smiley," gray continued.

"cody is coming over in about 10 minutes," i smiled.

their eyes widened and then they smiled and started asking what i was going to do when i saw him. by the time i was done answering all their questions, the doorbell rang and i swear i jumped 5 miles into the air and sprinted to the door. when i opened that door, there he stood.

cody.

the 5'10 bad boy that somehow got me to like him in 2 months. he was wearing black skinny jeans, a tight white tshirt, a black dad hat, and black converse. he was smiling. he didn't look that different, just maybe a bit buffer. his eyes shone brightly.

i was shocked and taken aback by this gorgeous boy and before i knew it, i was in his arms with my legs wrapped around his waist. his face buried in my neck and mine in his. i clutched onto his t-shirt and took in the smell of his cologne.

"god, i missed you," he mumbled into my hair.

"i missed you too." i smiled into his chest

i was so happy that not anything could make this a bad moment. cody kissed my shoulder as we hugged each other so tightly. it was like we never wanted to let go. and in that moment i didn't want to. then, our little moment got ruined.

"hey um, could you two just take a break. you've been hugging for ten minutes," grayson's voice rang through my ears and i felt cody smirk against my neck.

he set me down, much to by disappointment. he winked at me and went to greet my brothers. they all "bro hugged" and the boys told him they we're glad he was back.

i admiringly looked towards the boy i cared for, conversate with the three if the most important boys in my life. no boyfriend (okay well cody's not my boyfriend, but you know what i mean) got along with my brothers. they we're rude and got too touchy feely just to try and get them mad.

but cody was sweet. he talked with them and they sort  of became friends. i was glad they all got along.

"thalia, come on, we're going to get some ice cream to welcome home cody," ethan broke me from my thoughts.

"okay," i smiled at cody as we all went to get in jack's car.

the bad boy is back.
