chapter thirty-eight

(pretty lengthy chapter ahead)

"Good-morning." I opened my eyes slowly, the sun quickly seeping through the curtains. I lifted my arms above my head, stretching them.

"Morning." I rubbed my eyes. I could hear Awsten breath was steady but harsh, he was carefully humming along to a song he had playing, but I was still half asleep to even notice the words.

I closed my eyes again, turning over, this time facing the side Awsten was sitting on. I didn't want to get up. I knew that Awsten and I had to pack and set up boxes. I knew by just opening my eyes that today isn't a good day for me, mentally. I think I fell back asleep, as Awsten shook my shoulder.
It hurt to keep my eyes open, it was a day or two after the tour but I'm still really tired, and with all this moving, I haven't had time to catch up on sleep

"Get up, we have to pack, princess." His breathing was very irregular, it sort of worried me, I quickly opened my eyes to see him wearing gym gear, sweat on his face to match.

"Since when do you go to the gym?" I groaned, closing one eyelid.

"Since I have someone I need to impress." He winked, before planting a small kiss on my forehead.

That comment genuinely made me feel slightly better. I know the day hasn't even started yet, and I'm already complaining. I didn't want to mention anything, it wasn't a good time to.

He slowly got off of the bed, taking his shoes off and leaving them beside the bed. He pushed a hand through his hair. I could see the adrenaline still rushing through him, he walked over to the door, opening it but I stopped him before he left.

"Awsten." I called, to which he replied by turning around.

"Yes?" His voice now soft and easy.

"I love you." I smiled, finally sitting up and running a hand through my hair.

I felt like it was so early to say i love you, but I fell head over heals for him.

I could see his face light up immediately. Before he quickly ran over to me and jumped onto the bed, making me fall back and he joined into a hug when he jumped. He kissed my cheek repeatedly, squeezing me tightly before taking his eyes to meet mine.

"I love you." He childishly giggled before throwing himself back up, as though nothing happened.

"C'mon. Moving day!" He screamed, clapping his hands while he left the room. Which he still continued down the hall and downstairs. I could still hear him as he raised his voice the further he got.

Im surprised he's happy. I mean, he could be faking it, but he seemed really happy, about moving, to a different state. I sighed before getting up. I looked around for my shirt. Which I didn't find. I opened Awsten's closet, which was full with different arrays off t-shirts, some off shirts here and there.
I picked out a long shirt, although they were all long on me, and I was also kind of mad that these all weren't packed yet. I threw it over my head, and it went to my knees.

"I was thinking about going to see my mom, dad and sister today. Before we leave." Otto was surprisingly cooking pancakes behind us, humming to himself while Geoff watched.

"Yeah, that's sounds good." I hummed, drinking my water, getting up and going over to Geoff.

"I was hoping you would want to come." Awsten called. Geoff wrapped his arm around my neck.
