It was tough to go back to my real life without Austin. I have a month left of school then I graduate with a business degree and a marketing diploma. I really wanted Austin to come to my graduation but he said he was busy with work. My parents couldn't come either but I was happy that friends were coming to support me. I was hurt when my parents told me that they couldn't come, it just felt like they didn't want to fly here and that was the only reason that they aren't coming.

I was currently studying. Finals were coming up and I couldn't afford to fail so I started studying a month ahead. I walk out my room to see Sasha in the kitchen eating at the breakfast bar.

"Hey I didn't know you were home from work" I say walking to the fridge

"Yeah I knew your were prob studying or talking to your boyfriend so I didn't say anything" she smirks at the last part.

"He's not my boyfriend" I say rolling my eyes

"Okay so texting 24/7 and FaceTiming everyday before you go to bed isn't a Long-distance relationship?" Sasha asks knowing she's right.

" well he hasn't asked me so shut up" I say grabbing food. Sasha just laughs and puts her plate in the dishwasher.

"Speak of the devil" Sasha says holding up my phone that I had left on the counter. Austin was face timing me.

I grab my phone from her hand and answer it. My hair was up and I didn't have any makeup up on.

"Hey beautiful!" Austin says smiling

"Hey" I say smiling and rolling my eyes

"What ya doin pretty momma?" Austin says

"Grabbing food then going back to my room to study. You?" I ask. Grabbing food then heading to my room to talk to Austin privately.

"Club appearance tonight, I really don't want to go. Or atleast if you were here I'd be more inclined to going" Austin groans complaining

"Awe babe" I say Laughing his life wasn't hard and he knew it.

"I don't know what it is but it's like ever since you left I just don't want to do anything and all I want is to see you" he says genuinely

"You looooooove me" I tease laughing. We've never said I love you to each other before but it's not awkward to tease him like this.

"I do love you" he says slowly

"What?" I wanted to make sure I heard him right.

"I love you Ivy" he says. I stare at him wide eyes.

"I-I I love you too" I say then we just look stare smiling at our phones.

"Shit" he said

"Yeah" I laughed

"Well how is studying going?" Austin says

I laugh "good I guess finals aren't for another month so I'm just going over all the old material"

"You're the smartest" he said grinning. I laugh at him

"My girls so smart with her university degree" he chants I just keep laughing at him and shaking my head.

"I'll let you study, I have to get ready for this stupid club thing anyway" he rolls his eyes

"Okay bye try and have fun! Text me okay" I say smiling

"Bye baby love you"

"Love you too" I say ending the call. I drop my phone on my bed and lie down staring straight at the ceiling.

He told me he loved me and then said it again. I got up and walked to Sasha's room opening the door and staring at her wide eyed.

"Hey! You can't just walk in what if I was romancing myself" Sasha yelled. She was on her bed with her laptop in front of her. I'm sure she was watching YouTube videos.

"Okay first of all ew" I say walking to her bed sitting beside her. Yep I was right she was on YouTube.

"Second Austin just told me over FaceTime that he loved me" I say. She stops and stares at me

"He can say that but he can't ask you to be his girlfriend what the fuck!" She groans annoyed at my situation with him

"I know! Like I feel like he doesn't want to be my boyfriend" I say sadly

"Don't say that. That's not true he loves you!" She says

"I don't get it this is too confusing I need labels to feel comfortable" I say complaining

"Well your the idiot that said you didn't need labels" she said shaking her head

"Well that was before he said that he loved me!" I say lying down across the bed trying to defend myself.

"Wanna watch YouTube with me? I'm about to start a Tana Mongeau story time about her millionaire sugar daddy" she says

"I need a millionaire sugar daddy" I groan

"You have one!"

"Shut up I do not!" I say

"Yeah because Austin's not a millionaire or anything" she argues

"He is but he's not my sugar daddy" I defend

"Well what you want to date him?" She asks

"Yes. Obviously." I say in a sassy tone

"Well he loves you so it can't be hard to get him to be your boyfriend" she laughs. I groan loudly And she just laughs harder.

"I'm going in my room to study" I say walking out. She mutters an okay and goes back to her YouTube video.

I sit in my room with my textbook reading the chapters we learned in class at the beginning of the semester.

I checked the time on my phone, it was almost 2 AM. I've been studying for over 4 hours. I put my stuff away and sit in my bed scrolling through Twitter. I gasp when I see a headline from TMZ I quickly tap on the link that leads to the article.

Article:
Rapper Post Malone spotted in Hyde sunset nightclub tonight in LA and he was not alone!

A girl was seen with him the whole night sitting beside him at his VIP booth while dancing with him aswell. We don't know for sure if this was the same girl that was photographed with him in New York but it seems as the rapper is the most eligible bachelor on the scene. Our sources say that post Malone was quite affectionate with the girl before seen leaving together. They were seen together with her arms wrapped around him and kissing his cheek.

(Photos of post Malone with said girl)

I gasp at the article not thinking of what to do. I was in shock. while I read the article and stare at the photos with tears running down my face. My heart dropped to my stomach and it felt like my stomach was doing flips. I was shaking, this guys told me that he loved me only hours before.

Well I guess it was just too good to be true. I spent the rest of the night crying he told me he loved me and then this happens. I sent the article to my friends group chat. They were probably all sleeping but I wanted them to see it. I wanted them to know so we didn't have to talk about it. I just wanted to keep to myself in this moment.
