(a/n. warning, this chapter contains shit like the others.)

"So, what does this mean for us?"

"Nothing, nothing is going to happen to us."

"How are we going to make this work? You're going back to New York, while I'm here in California."

"Babe, its just a plane ride away, nothing will happen to us," I said as I grabbed his hand. "we both have FaceTime. I'll be able to fly-"

"No, I don't want that, I want to be able to see you, feel you, sleep aside you at night. Sarah, I want you here with me or me with you. I don't want to do this long distance relationship thing."

"Then what do you suggest?"

"Let me go back with you."

"Your friends and fans need you here."

"Sar, I can make new friends in New York and I have fans all over this world, like you've said."

"Grayson."

"Do you just not want me going? Is that what you're trying to say? If so, then just say it and I'll stop trying."

"That is most certainly not what I'm trying to say or trying to imply here. Of course I want you to go with me, but your friends need you. Like I said, you didn't see him, Grayson... He looked really crushed when I told him that I was leaving."

"He will survive without us here, he does all the time when he goes back to Louisiana."

"I don't want him to have to survive, I want him to feel happy with his two best friends being here. I know that you and him have been through a lot in the past few years, but he's going to go through hell if he sees that you and Ethan are also leaving with me."

"Fine, if you don't want me going with you, then I wont't." He gave in. "But, don't think this will be easy on me because it sure as hell won't."

"No one said that it was going to be easy, babe."

*******

I've been calling Aaron for the past hour, but I haven't been getting very far. He seems to just be letting it go to his voicemail. At this point, I've left so many voicemails, I think I was about to fill his voicemail box.

"Hey, its Aaron, leave your name and number and I'll try to get back to you."

I sighed as I got the voicemail, once again, but this time I didn't leave another message; I simply ended the call.

"Anything yet?" Grayson said as he walked in with the plane tickets in his hands.

"No, sadly."

"He's probably just busy with something. Just give him time, babe." 

"Yeah, you're probably right; he was working on music when I went over. He also looked stressed out, didn't help that I told him that I was leaving."

"Hey," he said pulling me closer to him. "lets not talk about that anymore, okay?"

"Aaron not being okay with me leaving or with me leaving in general?"

"Both." He said putting the ticket down on the stand in front of me. "Here's this."

"Thank you." I said softly as I began taking close out of my closet, laying them down on the bed, then I slowly began packing things in my luggage bag.

The room was filled with silence as he walked out of the room, leaving me along to pack my things.

I didn't want to leave him here, but he belongs here in California with his friends and where his career is. Its not like we're breaking up or anything, I'm willing to continue this, but if he wishes not to, than that will be his choice. I'll be okay with whatever he decides.

Grayson's pov

"Don't worry about buying another suitcase."

"Why? What happened? Did you and her really just get into a fight because of something stupid again?"

"No, when she went to see Aaron to let him know that she was leaving, he didn't take it too well, I guess. She wants us to stay here with him."

"So, we're not going with her because of him?"

"Uh huh."

"As much as I know you don't want to hear this, but she's right. You once told her that friends come first. So, maybe we should do the same thing."

(Yeah, I know that he never said that to her before, but this story is all over the place, so might as well keep going with it, lmao. kms.)

"Thats- I- You just- you don't understand."

"I don't understand what?"

"You don't understand what its like when the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with, leaves. She's the best thing thats ever happened to me, aside from our fans and you."

"Are you guys going to make things work or are you guys ending things when she leaves?"

"She said that we were going to make it work, we'd FaceTime a lot, she'd fly over to see us, we'd fly over to see her...etc. She said she wanted to give the long distance a try."

"Well, then why are you worrying? You two have broken up countless times and you've always found your ways back to each other, just because she's moving across the country means that something will happen."

"Yeah,  I know, but-"

"No. No, buts Grayson. Don't worry about it or anything else that concerns her, you know that she loves you, she would literally go to the center of the universe for you, theres no way that she's going to move over there and just drop you. I know that you love her, but sometimes I know that she loves you more."

I couldn't help, but smile when he spoke. I knew what he said was right, but I couldn't help myself from having doubts something would happen.

"And trust me, I know what its like when you love someone and they just leave."

My eyes moved, fixing themselves on his, I didn't say anything because I honestly had know idea what to say. I just stood there, confused.

"Yeah, gray," He paused before speaking again. "I loved her, but I should of seen it coming that it wouldn't last long because you two always found your ways back to each other, no matter what the condition was."

"I didn't know you felt like towards her, I'm sorry."

"Of course you didn't know, how could you? I didn't tell anyone, not even her. I didn't want to waste my time saying anything if I knew it wouldn't last long. Why else do you think I didn't take it well when she told me that she wanted to be with you again?"

"E, I'm sorry."

His shook his head. "Don't worry about it, theres plenty of other fish in the sea."

Yo, whats up??

First of all, I want to start off by apologizing for not posting up last week, I didn't start working on this chapter until the Monday before I was suppose to update and I didn't want to post another quick chapter again.

And sadly even with an extra week to work on this, its still really shitty. This story is over all shitty, but I shouldn't complain because a majority of you guys really like this story, which makes me really happy.

As I've said in the previous chapters, I'm working on something new, something better for you guys. I'm trying to make it good enough, so people will like it. I've been having others proof read it before it gets published. This time, I have an editor helping me. I'm thankful for that person. So, keep an eye out for it.

Ily.
