"When are you coming back? Lucas has been moping around like a baby for the last few days." I asked gently, raising an eyebrow, looking up at Mark who was slipping on a T-shirt in front of me.
"He won't stop whining Kaylee, I really think a visit is due." He chuckled before jumping on his bed beside me and waving at the screen. Kaylee smiled and waved back, running a hand through her hair before letting a sigh fall from her lips.
"I promise I'll be coming back very soon. I just need to find a flight and figure out my classes. I'll only be able to come back for a weekend since Spring Break already passed. I didn't necessarily expect to be dating Lucas at this point in my life. I always told Elera that long-distance was never going to be my thing" she explained, making a smirk crawl onto my lips.
"And look at you now." I laughed, glancing at the clock beside Mark's bed sitting on his nightstand. "Oh shit...Mark we've got to go. I'll talk to you later Kaylee! We love you!" I smiled, waving quickly before hanging up the FaceTime call.
"I told you you don't have to drive me." Mark said, sliding on a denim jacket over his black T-shirt. He was wearing black on black, his black belt also complimenting his whole outfit. He walked into the bathroom, about to put contacts in but I quickly ran over and stopped him.
"Wear these." I said seriously, grabbing his wire-rimmed circle glasses and sliding those on his face. I ran my hand through his soft black hair and grabbed a chain necklace. I stepped behind him and put it on before jumping up and pecking his cheek. "This is huge for you. Someone is interested in your dancing. This can make you huge Mark." I said, moving to face him. I gently fixed the sides of his jackets before setting my hands on his chest.
" I know you don't think you want the publicity. You've got a dance studio and you're content with that. But I think this could be a whole new step for you." I smiled, standing on my tip toes and pressing a kiss to his lips. "Either way, you'll always be amazing. I just think you should take a chance and see where it goes. You can always back out if you don't think it's right for you."
He smiled warmly down at me and nodded "You're probably right." He said softly, pulling me into a hug. "We'll see where this goes." He pulled away and held up my keys. I grabbed them and quickly made my way to the driveway, him following behind. I had some errands to run so I thought dropping Mark off at his meeting could be beneficial and I would just pick him up after.
I pulled away from our little home and drove into town and away from campus, into the city. I pulled in front of a large office like building and glanced at him. "Good Luck~" I hummed, giving him a quick peck before watching him walk up the steps and into the large glass doors. Once I couldn't see him anymore, I pulled away and drove towards the store.

Elera:
2:45 pm: I just dropped Mark off at his dance interview. I'm extremely nervous but excited for him.
Kaylee:
2:47 pm: What exactly was that for again? You said someone saw one of his YouTube videos and they got in contact with him?
Elera:
2:49 pm: He didn't give me all the information. I know he's meeting with someone to discuss his interests in working solo or in a group, and then he has a small dance audition to see if he would qualify for what they're looking for.
Kaylee:
2:50 pm: Do you think your mans is going to be in a boy band?!
Elera:
2:51 pm: omg, I guess time will tell 😂

I set my phone down and stood up from lying in my bare mattress for the last hour or so. I looked around my now fully packed room, boxes stacked up in front of me.
