*Nash's POV*

I woke up and saw my Lilly. She looked beautiful. Hair lightly curled. Makeup still somewhat smeared from her crying the night before. I kissed her forehead and her eyelashes flickered open.

"Good morning," she said in the sleepy voice that would never get old. Then she sat up frantically. "Nash I have a flight! What time is it?" I pulled out my phone.

"Babe, it's only 8:03. We've got time." She stood up and pulled me up with her, "Wait, what? I was comfy! Can't we just cuddle for a few more minutes?" I whined. She laughed and shook her head no.

Will picked up Sky and Hayes last night from the little island, to give us more privacy.

I sighed and we walked to the boat. She was standing with her hands on the steering wheel. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her, eventually taking control of the boat. She reached in my pocket and grabbed my phone. We took a few pictures: one smiling, one where I kissed her cheek and of course, a goofy one. After she sent them to her phone, she slipped my phone in her pocket.

I would've killed to live in that moment forever, but eventually, we made it to the house. I pulled her upstairs to my room. I got my phone from her pocket and posted the picture of me kissing her cheek on twitter.

"@nashgrier: Good morning from me and the lovely. 😘 @lillsxo #beautifulasalways pic.twitter.3794"

"I'm gonna take a shower," she told me.

"Me to"

"Not with me your not, idiot!"

"Please babe?" I said kissing her jawline. I felt her breaths getting heavier and finally, she agreed.

I made sure my bedroom door was locked and walked back to the bathroom. She was staring at herself in the mirror.

"You okay?" I asked, noticing the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"You're gonna see my scars. I cover them up, normally."

"Hey," I said, walking toward her, "The scars show your story. What you've been through. What you've overcome. I love them," I kissed her cheek, "we don't have to do this, you know?"

"I know," she sighed, "but I want to."

"Okay." I slipped off my shirt, and my pants, keeping only my boxers on. Then I walked to turn on the shower, making sure the water was just right. When I turned around, she had only taken off her cardigan. She was staring at her arms.

I picked her up and sat her on the counter. I held out her arms and there were the infamous scars. Long and short. Deep and shallow. Vertical and horizontal. The scars that I had never seen. Had hardly even known they existed.

I leaned down and one by one, kissed every scar. Then I looked up, straight into her eyes, "You are beautiful. You don't need to let the scars keep you from loving yourself. From loving who you are. The scars are a thing of the past. Worry about your future. Where you wanna go. Who you wanna be with. Worry about the things that matter, because these things, they don't matter." I kissed her forehead.

"Okay. I-I'm ready."

She took off her shirt and bra, then slipped of her pants. I took of my boxers and got in the shower. She: hesitantly, took off her panties and joined me.

I washed her down and then she washed me down. Once we were done, she let me pick out her outfit and she picked out mine.

I chose tribal leggings, a black tank top with ruffles and teal Vans. She picked cargo shorts, a black short sleeve button down and black Vans.

We got dressed and she walked into the bathroom while I went on Twitter:

"@jackgilinsky Absolutely can not wait for the little sis the get here! Tour wasn't the same without you! @lillsxo"

"@jackjackjohnson: Missing @lillsxo sooo ready for you to meet the guys! #familyisforever"

And he attached a picture of him and her on the beach.

"@mattespinosa Can't wait to meet @lillsxo We're waiting on you!"

"@shawnmendes: @lillsxo sorry for trashing your house I swear I wasn't a part of it. 😁"

"@camerondallas: @shawnmendes Shh... That's supposed to be a secret. 😂 but miss you @lillxo"

And there were dozens more. I walked in the bathroom to help her.

"Wanna curl my hair?" She asked. I nodded.

After I was done, it looked pretty good. She agreed so she put on her usual makeup and some scar cream stuff.

She packed up all her stuff and kissed me. We walked downstairs and mom made us go outside to take a few pictures in front of the lake.

She posted one on Twitter.

"@lillsxo: last few minutes with @nashgrier Gonna miss you bae. 😭💕"

And posted another from when Hayes and her went to the beach yesterday.

"@lillsxo: this little guy was growing on me... 😰 Don't forget about me Haaas. And you better text meh. ✌️ @hayesgrier"

She was on his back holding up two peace signs and they were both smiling.

We got in the car after she said goodbye to everybody. At the airport I wrapped her in a huge hug. "Remember what I said," I told her, stroking her face. "I love you," and before she could respond, her flight got called. I kissed her passionately and with that, she was gone.

I watched my love walk away, then turned around and left.
