Fall in Deep

34 - moving day

I felt her eyes studying my face but I was too immersed in my thoughts.

She was silent for a bit before asking
"What's up what you thinking about?"

I sighed then said,
"So you know how I said your family were nicer than my parents?"

"You miss them, your parents I mean?"

"Yeah," I said quietly as my voice wasn't strong enough to say it properly and nodded my head.

She gave me a sympathetic look and rested her head on my stomach.

"You should go see them you haven't seen them since after the first earthquake and you haven't seen Ethan since he visited you in Italy,"

"I wouldn't say visited as much as came to see if I hadn't jumped off the hotel roof yet,"

"Also umm what did happen in Italy, we've never really talked about it,"

"Let's just say that when I didn't hear from you I assumed the worst," I dodged the question slightly but she looked up at me seriously, tears threatening to fall.

"What happened?"

"Nothing it's fine," I brushed her up and tried to get off the bed. She pinned me down and straddled me so I couldn't escape.

"What happened?"

"I told you it's nothing plus we talked about it the first night I was back," I sighed and looked away. She tilted my head so I had to look her in the eyes, which now had a few tears falling.

"Why won't you tell me?"

I sighed.

"I didn't want to be in a world without you, whether you were alive or not I didn't know if I would ever see you again and it fucking killed me. I thought because I couldn't talk to you I shouldn't talk to anyone and I thought that if you were dead then I needed to die too. I didn't know if I would ever love someone as much as I love you and I didn't think anyone would ever love me as much as you love me. When I thought you died in the earthquake, I thought you took my heart with you. I couldn't live with the fact that I didn't know if I would hear you voice or see your face or kiss your lips again," Tears leaked from my eyes uncontrollably. Daya pulled me into a hug, her face damp like mine.

"You should go and see your parents whether it's just a goodbye or whether you try and fix things with them it doesn't matter I just think you should see them," she whispered.

"Thank you so much, I love you,"

"I love you too," we stayed in each others arms for a long time before we broke apart and started watching Netflix in each others arms.

I decided I would go back home after we moved into the new house, which was happening tomorrow.

I carried the box in one hand and wheeled my suitcase with the other. The box had some of Z's stuff in it and the suitcase was mine.

None of us had a lot of stuff, I probably had the most because I had my stuff from Italy, the rest of the family not so much but I guess that's a side effect after an earthquake.

I had to weave as I walked so I didn't step on Noon who the hotel was surprisingly ok with us having.

We had to take two cars as there was a lot of us but most of her family were moving in tomorrow and staying in the hotel for an extra night so we could make sure everything was fine before we all moved out.

We had my car and one of Z's cars that was the only car survivor of hers. It would be me, Z, Darnell, Austin and Kaylee in my car. Her mum, Julian, AnnaBella and Katianna in the other.

We packed the cars full of our stuff as the paparazzi across the road took a million photos.

After everything was in the car we bundled inside and started driving to the house.

The car journey was pretty fun as we all got along and chatted away loudly. It was just a 30 minute drive to the new house but it only felt like 10 since we it was fun.

We were all smiles and laughter but inside I was really nervous to properly talk to my parents again, and even more nervous to know it might be the last conversation I have with them if it doesn't go well.

Eventually we arrived at the new house. We walked around, checking each room and making sure we know who's staying in it.

We all dispersed to check out everything we wanted to see. The only decision needed was who would take the master bedroom, me and Z or her mum. I thought it should be her mum since she needed the most space but her mum thought we should have it since we were two people in one room and I bought the house.

After a small debate, it was finally agreed that the room would be mine and Z's and her mum would have the second biggest room.

After a few minutes of checking out the kitchen, everyone had disappeared into their room which only had mattresses on the floor because we were going furniture shopping after I came back from the talk with my parents, which I was just going to.

"Bye, good luck," Z said, giving me a quick kiss.

"Thanks, when I get back we can go shopping and actually get a sofa," I chuckled hugging Daya and getting in my car.

What will you say to your parents, what will they say to you? Find out next time on...
