The Unexpected Trip (Tyler Schrage)

Summer term

The weeks continued the same with uni and work and facetiming Tyler. I was looking for some work in LA and found a paid summer internship with a costume designer. However, my parents wanted me home for my birthday so I would haft to leave early and have a smaller internship. We sent valentines gifts to each other and watched a movie over Netflix party and ate McDonald and had a virtual date. The weeks continued until Easter break. I packed my bags and walked to the airport. I hopped on my flight there. After hours of movies and reading, I had arrived. I went through customs, got my bag and Chris was outside waiting in his car. We drove talking back to the house. We picked some food up on the way back as that is what he had said he was doing. We walked in him in front and be behind and walked towards the kitchen.

"where did you go? You were ages." Tyler said to Chris

"yeah sorry was picking something up for you," Chris replied

He then stepped aside and revealed a smiling me. Tyler's face lit up and he hopped off the chair and sprinted the small way to me and picked me up in a hug. He set me down and kissed me

"what are you doing here?" he asked

"my dad brought me a ticket so I can stay here over Easter break," I replied

"that's awesome." He said "so did you get any food?" he asked Chris

"Yeah we did," Chris replied

We sat down and the other came in and all said hi to me and hugged and we all chatted and ate. Me and Tyler then went to his room and chatted and caught up. We mainly just led there in each other's arms. We then all had dinner and chilled before they went live that night. I watched from Tyler's room. After 2 hours he came in and bundled me in a hug and we slept.

The next day we went to Santa Monica and just walked along the beach holding hands and sat in the sand for a bit together. We had street food for lunch and then went and got some food from Target on the way home and cooked for the house when we got back. They didn't go live as it was there night off so we watched a movie with popcorn and sweets together.

The next day he made some TikTok's and so did I and then we chilled in the garden together, had some food and then they went live again that night and I sat on the island in the kitchen and watched. It was so different watching from screen to real life because there was so much more going on than just listening to one person. We then chilled in his bed and made love.

The next week and a couple of days were relatively the same and consisted of TikTok's, movies, lives and food, with the occasional date out for dinner or a walk, and before we knew it, it was leaving day for me. I had a late afternoon flight again so I chilled with all the boys and we had chick-fil-a for lunch and then it was time to say bye to the boys and Heidi again.

We drove to the airport. I placed my hand on Tyler's thigh but instead, he held it from the top and changed gears while holding my hand. We arrived and parked up. We checked my bag in, went upstairs and then it was time to say goodbye again. We hugged for a long time and then kissed for a bit after. We then slowly parted as I walked away to go through the metal detector and my gate.

I found a seat and sat down smiling with a tear rolling down my cheek. No matter how many times we did it, it still hurt every time leaving. I knew I would see him in a couple of months but they couldn't come quicker. I wanted to be over with uni already and move here. I know I could drop out but I didn't want to as I loved it, I just also missed Tyler so much.

I was on a plane for hours and had a layover to go back to Bournemouth. I landed and then walked back to the house. The others had gone home so it was only me. I put my stuff down and flopped on my bed and fell asleep. I woke up and it was dark. I went downstairs got some food and checked my post. Some Easter eggs from my family, some money and some random stuff. I had some dinner and then watched a movie while eating some eggs. I then messaged Tyler and we facetimed for a bit. I then went back to sleep. I chilled the next day and then had work the next day. The girls each slowly came home and then we were back at uni for our last semester this year.

The weeks carried on as usual and then we finally broke up for summer. We like the house so decided to stay there together for our last year but Sarah and Kelly's boyfriends were going to move in as well. I packed my suitcase and they all walked me to the airport. I checked my bag in and said bye to the girls and left on a long flight back to la.
