018. "You still love me, huh?"

"Dear diary,

Weeks have passed by, again. It's kind of scary how fast time flies, but i'm totally cool with it.

Even and i are moving to the shared flat tomorrow with Noora, Linn and that Eskild guy. I'm pretty excited, but suspicious too. I really have no idea how it's going to work out.

Anyways, i'll try to remember to update this thing whenever i have the chance to. Gtgt pack my stuff lol.

-Isak, 17.10.2016"

Mom helped me to pack all my clothes and personal things. I didn't have to bring my own bed to the new apartment, because Even and i agreed that he'd take his king-sized bed.
I'd only bring my own stuff, and my room's table which luckily fitted into my mom's car.

"Are you ready?" Mom came to my room.

"Packing? Oh yeah, almost." I answered.

"No, i mean. You're moving away from home and all." She said.

"I don't want to leave you alone, but i'm pretty excited, you know." I explained while i put my last clothes into a bag.

"Good, i'm really proud of you." She kissed my forehead before she left my room.

It was Friday, so Even decided to come over today. His parents had already dismantled his bed, so it would be easier to carry it to our new home tomorrow morning.

Our doorbell rang twice, and i knew it was Even. My mom walked to open it, and soon i heard Even's beautiful voice from distant.

"Hi, Ms.Valtersen!" I heard him say.

Wow. I have a thing for his voice, too. How dumb.

"Hello, babes." He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me from behind, burying his face into my neck.

"Do not fucking call me that." I said and turned around to face him.

"But i love it, hottie." He whispered to my ear. It send shivers down my whole body.

"I hate you, Even Bech Næsheim." I whispered back, and smiled.

"Love you too", he said before he walked out of my room.

I rolled my eyes before following him to our kitchen. He went to look for food from our fridge. It was like he lived with us, but i didn't mind.

He took whipped cream and poured it into his mouth.

"Oh, you're disgusting too." I teased him.

I saw that his eyes were reddish, so i assumed that he had been smoking weed again.

"In a scale from one to ten, how high are you again?" I asked him.

"Relax. It was the last time." He answered.

Somehow i really didn't believe him.

The day went by, and it was soon to be night. We brushed our teeth, said good nights to my mom and went to bed. It was a little bit small, but we had slept in it together before.

"Can you believe that we're really, like, for real moving in together?" He asked from me.

I had laid my head onto his chest, and he was playing with my hair. The lights were off.

"Not really", i said.

"Yeah, neither can i."

"And you're hardly sixteen!" He said.

Even himself was turning eighteen in less than a month. He was two years older than me, which was crazy. It wasn't that much, but still.

"Right! Have you ever wondered how am i so smart?" I giggled.

"Maybe it's because you're dating an older guy!" He teased me and kissed my head.

"You wish." I said.

There was a long silence between us for a few minutes.

"You know, i'm sorry." Even started.

"About everything. Drugs and stuff."

"It's fine. You make your own choices." I answered quickly.

It was true. Maybe i don't like when people use drugs and other things, but Even is still responsible about his own choices he makes. I can look after him and try to affect him in a good way, but sometimes it's not enough and i get it. Totally.

"I still love you at the end of the day." I said.

He raised his head a little, just to give me a kiss to my forehead.

"You still love me, huh?" He asked.

I thought about it for a second.

"Well, yeah. Of course i do." I answered.

"I love you too, babes." He said.

It made my heart flutter from happiness. I had never said those words to anyone, if my mom doesn't count. It meant a lot to me, and i was a little bit afraid of it. Of love.

I found myself falling asleep, like i fell in love with Even.
Slowly, and then all at once.

(Hazel Grace has entered the chat.)

...

I slowly opened my eyes, as the morning sun's light creeped through the curtains.
Even was still asleep, his other hand on my side. I tried to get away from his tight hold without him waking up.

I got up and walked to our kitchen, to see mom cooking something.

"Good morning, sweetie." She said and gave me a small hug.

"Morning", i answered simply.

"What are you cooking?" I asked and sat down onto a chair.

"Oh, this? I thought that i'd make you guys breakfast, for the last time." She explained.

"Don't you dare to even think about not making us breakfast again. I will probably come home to eat every other day." I answered and laughed.

"Yeah, but i'm still a little bit sad that my boy is so old he's moving away from me." She said.

"Mom, our new home is literally ten minutes away from you! I'm not like, moving to other country or anything." I answered and rolled my eyes.

"What are you two arguing about in here?" Even entered the kitchen, and immediately poured himself a glass of water.

"Mom thinks her whole world is going to end now that i'm actually getting myself a life." I said.

"Isak! It's not like that!" She argued.

"Sure it isn't."

We ate our bacon and eggs, excitement filling the air between us.

After breakfast Even and i dressed ourselves not so poorly, and collected our last things. Bigger things like table and other were already carried to our car yesterday.

We were ready to meet the people who we were going to share our flat with.
