"yes." i said, immediately after, without a second of hesitation. lannan's face broke out in a smile. "great." he whispered, not breaking his gaze. we stared into each others eyes for what seemed like forever.

then tannar broke the trance. "ooooookay." she said making us blink. we laughed and got in the car. we drove for thirty minutes in comfortable silence.

"what the fuck!" i suddenly screamed making lannan slam on the brakes. "are you okay?!" he asked, looking worried and honestly a bit scared. "it just hit me." i said, quietly. "i'm moving in with you. holy shit." i said making him laugh.

"yeah, you are." he said with a smile. i giggled before grabbing his face and kissing him. "i love you." i said as i hugged him.

—————

so lannan and i moved in fairly quickly. we'd actually end up living there for a few years. it was just a regular day when i got home. my phone rang as i set my keys on the counter. i kissed lannan's head quickly, as he was asleep on the coach. before answering the phone.

"hello?" i said into the speaker. "is this y/n?" a voice, i recognized as my brother, said from the other side. "yes?" i said, sitting at the table. "y/n.. mom died." he said making me cover my mouth with my hand.

tears filled my eyes as i shook my head no. i was so busy in australia and with lannan i never checked up on my family. "she, she uh, had heart failure. it was happening over the last year or so. we couldn't get her a heart in time." he whispered, his voice cracking slightly.

"i'm coming." i said. "to america?!" he asked, in slight disbelief. "i can't just stay here and miss more of you guys' life. i'm the oldest. i should be there." i said before hanging up. i then put my phone on the table. and cried.

"babe?" lannan asked, walking into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes. "what's wrong?" he asked, hurrying to me. "my mom died." i whispered before hugging him tightly. as more tears left my eyes. "i'm so sorry." he said, hugging me back.

"i have to go." i said, pushing him away. "where?" he asked making me bite my lip. "to america." i said making him sigh. "for how long?" he asked making me shrug. "a year or two." i said making him sit down. "i'm not asking you to come with me." i said.

"you shouldn't, this should just be me and my family." i said making him bite his lip. "so what about me?" he whispered. "not everything is about you lannan!" i yelled. "but we're in a relationship right now!" he said, also standing up. "so? my mom just died!" i said, making him laugh.

"so you're just going to leave me?!" he asked making me look down. "yes." i said, making him flinch. i went to the room and grabbed my suitcase. i was going to go visit some friends a few days after, so i packed for that. i didn't pack to leave the love of my life.

"you're not fucking serious!" he yelled as i opened the door. "bye lannan." i said, not meeting his eyes as i walked out and closed the door.
