I was just thinking how cool it would be for someone to make a trailer for this fanfic! If anyone is technical enough and knows how to do something like that, it'd be greatly appreciated! :)

Song For This Chapter -

5 Seconds Of Summer - Disconnected

"I admit I'm a bit of a victim in the worldwide system too

But I've found my sweet escape when I'm alone with you"

*Summer's POV*

"It's Christmas next month." Caspar whispered.

"I know." I replied with a smile, my fingers tangled in his hair.

We were both still laying in the middle of my lounge floor, a blanket tucking the heat of us in. I don't know how long we'd been there, but it was peaceful. The sky outside was dark and the only light coming from the small reading lamp on the table beside my sofa.

"Are you excited?" Caspar asked.

His hand was planted firmly on my hip, lifting the material of his t-shirt that I was wearing up. Small circles were being drawn onto my exposed skin with his thumb. I nodded in reply to his question, the though of Christmas being soon giving my childlike tingles. 

"I already have a great idea on what I'm getting you." He smiled mischievously causing me to raise an eyebrow.

"Really? I have no clue what to get you." I pouted softly.

It was true, I genuinely had no idea what to get Caspar for Christmas. The thought had completely slipped my mind and any good idea of what to get him had gone too. 

I was normally good at buying presents, but this was Caspar and I's first Christmas together after almost 8 months of dating. Wow. 8 Months. PlayList Live was all the way back in March and it just didn't seem real. So much had happened during those eight months, it felt like a lifetime, but it also felt like just yesterday I met this beautiful boy. 

This boy with a heart of gold that made my life completely different to what it was all those months ago. He's given me something to strive for, something that simply making silly little YouTube videos didn't quite fufill. And I loved it.

"It better be good." He winked, squeezing my hip softly.

"Hey!" I giggled, poking my finger it his dimple causing his smile to widen. "You'll get what you're given."

"God I sound like my Mother when I say that." I laughed, leaving my hand on his cheek. 

I cupped his cheek, bringing his mouth to mine softly. The sweet taste of his lips was always able to calm me, the texture of them soothing. 

The TV electrics gave out a small buzzing noise causing us to break away and look towards it. Just the sight of everything in here brought so many memories back.

The TV, where Olivia and I used to have endless movie nights.

The sofa, where Olivia and I used to eat pizza and ice cream and just be sisters.

The light from the lamp, where Olivia and I used to seat reading books together, crying and laughing along with the characters.

The dining room table, where none of our meals were ever eaten, now used as a dumping ground for random books, bits of paper etc.

All of it was right in front of me, but it still did not feel real. I then remembered something Olivia used to say to me, the words sticking in my brain like glue.

"The most beautiful people, are the ones that fell, got hurt and then stood up again.


The most beautiful couples, strip each other bare and hand their hearts into the other's keeping.

And the most beautiful stories are the quiet ones. The ones we write for ourselves. And we get up every day to whisper it to the person besides us. "

My head turned to face Caspar, who was already looking at me. For a moment, we just stared at each other. Then his hands tightened on me as he lowered his mouth to mine. And the world fell away the instant our lips touched.

"Hey...hey." Caspar spoke softly, pulling away and running a soft thumb over my cheek. "Why are you crying?"

"I-I just, I don't know how I'm going to do this." I replied, sniffling softly.

"Together. We are going to do this together." He stated. 

My breath hitched in my throat at his words. Was he really willing to stay with me? After all the shit I've put him through and now this? 

"You don't have to be afraid." He whispered, his lips pressing softly to mine. "I'm here. And I'm never going to let you fall. Summer, no relationship is all sunshine, but we can share an umbrella and face the storm together." 

I pulled the blanket tighter around our bodies, the heating switching itself off, along with my lamp, encasing the room in blackness,

"Caspar?" I asked, calling out into the darkness.

"Yeah babe?"

"Tomorrow...can we go look at some houses?" I asked, feeling his fingers running up the skin of my arm.

"What? Why?" He asked, his fingers stopping.

"I just, I don't think I can live here anymore. It wouldn't feel right." I replied.

The room was silent, Caspar's fingers remaining still on my skin. 

Just as my eyelids began to drop, sleep suddenly hitting me like a wall, Caspar's voice broke through.

"Move in with me." 

"What?" I replied, shifting underneath his touch.

"Move in with me." He repeated.

Although it was pitch black inside the room, I could feel his gaze on me as I debated the question. Moving in with Caspar? I mean, I guess I practically lived at his house already so I wouldn't be losing anything. I sucked in a deep breath.

"Okay." I breathed out.

"Really?" Caspar asked, the excitement evident in his voice. 

"Yeah." I smiled. "Let's do this, Lets move in together."

"Oh. My . God. This will be awesome, we can stay up late, watch movies, eat ice cream and talk about boys!" Casapr put on his best girl voice, talking excitedly.

"Shut up!" I laughed, swatting his chest lightly. "Don't ruin the moment." 

"Sorry." He smiled, kissing my forehead. "We're really going to do this, huh?" 

"This is really going to happen." I smile, taking in another deep breath. 

I lay my head back onto Caspar's bare chest feeling the rhythm of his breaths, each one more calming than the other.

"I wish we could just stay like this forever." I sighed.

Caspar's arm circled my waist, drawing me ever closer, if it were possible, to him.

"Then lets stay. Lets put the world away for a few days. Just me and you. The way it should be." He spoke. 

"Just me and you." I repeated sleepily.

"You are my getaway
You are my favorite place
We put the world away
Yeah we're so disconnected"
