The next morning, I woke up in our cabin with Liam sleeping by my side. I smiled then kissed her on the forehead. I wiggles out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth, whilst staring into the mirror. Just like I would at home.

The whole trip here to the cabin went well. We got off the plane without any problems, then the car we hired drove smoothly. Although, Liam was asleep throughout most of it. I woke her up just before we landed and the minute we drove out of the airport she was asleep again.

I guess the must have been long for her; it's 10 and she's still fast asleep. I had planned a breakfast for her today, I was gonna make her pancakes, stack them nicely and add fruits. She liked pancakes and strawberries so I got a bunch of them. I just wanted the weekend to be special, since I'm pretty sure I won't be able to move to New York with her.

I had to stay with the band, with Otto, with Geoff. We needed to stay together and record music and hopefully get a record deal. We've recorded quite a bit of music so far, but we haven't sent anything out to a label yet.

Two different EP's and I started working on a new album. I don't know what it's called yet but I know that there'll be a lot of songs about Liam on it. But what if this long distance thing doesn't work?

What if we loose contact because we're too busy to make time for each other? What if it all comes crumbling down just like that, without any warning?

I felt tears run down my cheeks but I quickly wiped them away. I didn't want to cry again, I didn't feel like it. I just wanted this to me a good holiday. Relaxing, fun.

That's when I heard a loud crash of thunder, telling me that a storm is on the way. We were supposed to go swimming today, but I guess that's ruined now.

I finished brushing my teeth and I splashed my face with water. "You're going to be okay, Awsten. You're his lucky little Knight." I said to myself in the mirror then pulled myself together and left the bathroom.

I changed into a green shirt and black jeans with matching converse then left out room; Liam still fast asleep.

I couldn't hear any rain from the kitchen downstairs, but the chill in the air and the raindrops on the window spoke for itself. I got out all the ingredients for the pancakes, the strawberries had been in the fridge since last night.

I begun making the pancakes, humming a tune whilst doing so. I was about halfway done with them when I heard footsteps from upstairs. Liam must be awake.

Just as I took the last one off of the pan, she walked down the stairs. My eyes met with hers and I smiled. She wore my shirt I wore yesterday without any pants. Her hair was messy, the just got out of bed kind of messy. She looked great.

"Good Morning." She yawned when she reached the bottom of the staircase. I smiled as she kissed my cheek. "Good Morning. How'd you sleep?" I asked and she smiled. "Really good. I had you by my side." I blushed and started to plate the pancakes.

"Hey, it's raining." She said in a hushed tone. I nodded as I begun cutting the strawberries up. "I know." I replied. She sighed, I knew she felt upset. She looked uneasy, uncomfortable.

"Bunny, what's wrong?" I asked her. She frowned. "I don't know. I just don't feel good about the rai-" her sentence was interrupted by a phone ringing. The ringtone, it sounded so familiar...was it, peach?

She sprung up from her seat and got her phone off of the coffee table. She answered, but I couldn't quite hear what was going on. I just assumed that it was maybe Dallon or Gerard. Dallon would be asking about the plane ride and if we got there safely, even though he called me last night already; Gerard would be congratulating her for getting into Julliard as well as asking about the trip.

So I finished the meal. I got the whipped cream from the fridge, sprayed it on the pancakes. I boiled the kettle, at this point Liam moved upstairs.

When the kettle stopped boiling I heard Liam screaming.

"I don't care about your bullshit, Kenny! I know whatever you're telling me about Awsten are all lies! Kenny, he's not a dick unlike you! I can't believe you're trying to ruin my relationship, one that I'm actually happy in. Awsten makes me happy! I sure as hell would be Missus Knight than Harris!" I felt my cheeks flush red. Missus Knight? Liam Knight. It does sound really nice.

She walked down the stairs and I knew that she was angry. I finished mixing her cup of coffee, then set it by the dining table along with her pancakes. I got my pancakes and coffee then sat on the chair opposite from her.

She sat down and drank some coffee. She looked furious, like Kenny, or whoever she was talking to, had really said something to make her mad.

She started eating, which I did as well. I was surprised at my cooking abilities, the food tastes pretty good. The strawberries and added whipped cream made it 10 times better.

I looked up at her and she smiled at me. "It's really good, Awsten." She was trying to be happy, or at least give me a good compliment, through her anger. But I could still see it in her eyes. She was mad.

"Thank you. I put a lot of effort into it." I smiled at her and she smiled back. There was a bit of cream on her cheek and naturally, I rubbed it off with my thumb. She closed her eyes and her face seemed to relax.

"Awsten?" She said, her eyes still closed. "Yeah?"
"Did you cheat on me?" I was shocked. Why would she think such a thing?

"No, Liam I would never!" I replied and she let out a sigh of relief. "Ciara and Kenny said you did. And they said something else, but-I-" she couldn't finish the sentence. I felt like there was something wrong, like it had nothing to do with our relationship and something to do with me.

"She said the sex was bad." Liam added, a giggle behind her words. I smiled. "I don't believe her though." I laughed. She opened her eyes and sighed. "Do you think we could still do something outside, you know, even though it's raining?" She asked.

"I think we could do something, yeah I'm pretty sure we can." I smiled at her. I still can't help but wonder what she was going to say. I let go of her cheek and we continued to eat.

"You heard me screaming, didn't you?" She asked out of the blue. I looked up at her, fully aware that I had whipped cream on my cheeks. I nodded slowly.

"That'd you'd rather be Missus Knight than Harris?" My cheeks grew hot and she giggled. "Yeah, I would. You make me really happy, Awsten and I wouldn't trade anything for you."

"Not even Panic! at the Disco tickets?"

"Not even Panic! at the Disco tickets." She giggled, and I smiled. I felt like I could confide in her, like she could be there when I needed her to be.

I wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand and I took a sip of coffee. Her big brown eyes were still trained on me. I started eating again, but I could feel her gaze.

It didn't feel uncomfortable, it felt more reassuring. Someone still wanted to look at me, even though I had a scar on my face and two different eye colors. Someone still wanted to stare at me, long enough that it would look weird to any outsiders. Someone still wanted to love me, love me enough to feel special.
