Craig's pov
Dinner was... interesting to say the least. For the first time I actually saw regret in my father's eyes which seems weird to say but it's true. He never acted as if he regretted doing something and if he did he was pretty damn good at hiding it, cause we could never read his facial expressions. It seems my mother was a little surprised as well from the look my father was giving to me.
What REALLY surprised me was how nicely my father talked to Tyler. He remembered who Tyler was which doesn't surprise me because Tyler was probably the first person to ever talk back to him, so I can't blame him really. But all around dinner went good.
"Craig?" Tyler quietly speaks making me look up from my book to see he had just gotten out of the shower and was only wearing sweat pants. I blush slightly as I tilt my head at him. "I have to leave early tomorrow morning to go back to the dorms. I can't keep leaving like I do so from now on you're gonna have to fly out to see me." He says. My eyes widen as I set my book down and quickly make my way over to Tyler who was just now pulling a t-shirt over his head. "Do you want John to drive you?" I offer as I sit in the middle of my bed and glance around the room I once called my own. "No it's fine I'll just call an uber." He waves off. I shrug before falling back into the pillows.
"What was that guy's deal with you?" Tyler suddenly asks while laying down on the other side of the bed. I prop myself up on my elbows and glance to him before sighing. "I don't know honestly, he said my family had taken something of his but that's it." I reply, staring at the ceiling blankly before turning to Tyler and sighing. He moves closer to me and runs his hand slowly down my left thigh with a frown on his face. "You should talk to your parents about that, maybe they have answers." He says softly while looking me in the eyes. I stare at him for a few seconds before smiling lightly and holding his hand in mine. "I will, for now go to sleep. You need to wake up early." I say. Tyler huffs before wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer to him.
"G'night." He mutters. I giggle and close my eyes. "Goodnight." And with that, I fall asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I awoke to my phone literally going off none stop. I then seem to notice the empty spot next to me reminding me that Tyler is already back at Eastwood.
I come back to my senses and grab my phone and unlock to see that Simon along with Chelsea and the others have been messaging me about some piano competition thingy. I suddenly feel intrigued when seeing the words "prize of one million dollars" making me almost shoot out of bed as I immediately call Simon.
"Simon what the hell is this?!" I whisper/yell. "I'm sure you've heard of the world of piano competition right?" (I know cheesy but I dont care:) "Mmhmm..?" I reply with as I pace around my room. "Well I wanted to know if you wanted to participate in it..?" He trails off with the question, as if expecting me to decline. Why would I decline that?! "Are you serious? I'd love too!" I exclaim happily. Simon let's out a sigh of relief on the other line before explaining to me what was to be happening when I got back, oh boy I can't wait to tell Tyler about this!
After the phone call I race out of my room and walk around aimlessly in search of my mother or father maybe, more so my mother.

*time skip to the day Craig's leaving because I can't think of anything to write:/*
I take a deep breath in before knocking lightly on the door of Evan and Tyler's dorm. Moments later it opens to reveal Tyler looking tired as all hell and wearing nothing but a pair of sweat pants.
His eyes widen once he sees me and immediately he steps to the side to let me in to which I nod as I walk by and let him close the door.
"What are you doing here babe?" He asks, his voice slightly rough from I presume just waking up. Didn't surprise me because it was literally 11 at night and knowing Tyler he would probably be going to bed at that time, or at least he used too. "Well I'm going back to LA early in the morning and I wanted to say goodbye before I go." I explain. Tyler hums as he walks into the living room and instantly falls into the couch making me chuckle.
"But I can leave if you're tir-" "Don't even say it Craig." Tyler interrupts. I giggle while walking over to Tyler and sitting by his legs. "Were you sleeping before I got here?" I ask turning to him. He doesn't so much as move as he replies. "Yes but it's whatever, what time are you leaving at?" He asks while sitting up. I move over a bit to give him room only to be pulled back into him causing me to yelp.
"6 am." I answer while getting settled in his arms. He hums before laying down pulling me with him. "Tyler I only came to say goodbye." I groan as I try to get out of his hold on me only to fail miserably. "Nah you stay." He pretty much demands making me snort.
After 5 minutes of me just complaining I finally shut up and savor these last few moments I had with Tyler. Turns out that piano competition thingy was being held in mid July so I only had a few months to prep myself for it. I really wanted/needed the money, 1 million dollars would probably be enough for a lifetime, well for me that is.
Tyler and I just sat in each others arms for what felt like forever until we fall asleep.
*a few hours later*
I groan as I wake up from my slumber and stretch my arms out before literally falling off the couch and get up in a panic.
It was 5:30 am and my flight was leaving at 6, I didn't mean to fall asleep!!!
"Oh my god Tyler! Wake up!" I shout To my boyfriend who instantly shoots up looking in all different directions before landing on me. "What?! What is it?!" He exclaims with worry. "I need you to drive me to the airport or else I'm gonna miss my flight! Come on hurry!!" I exclaim as I pull him up and push him into his room to put a shirt on. Less then a minute later he comes out wearing Jean's and a hoodie, he grabs his keys and we both dash out the door.
Since my things were already in LA I didn't need to worry about bringing anything with me besides for my carry on which thankfully I had on me.
Tyler and I get in the car and we zoom to the airport in less then 5 minutes, should've gotten pulled over but I could care less right now. All I'm worried about is getting on that plane on time.
"Looks like we have some time to spare." Tyler says cutting my thoughts short as I look to see we had 15 minutes until I had to bored my flight. I shrug before shivering from the cold since it was still winter. Tyler takes off his hoodie and it was at this moment that I realize it was his pink hoodie, he really still had that thing?
He hands it to me without saying a word as I take it and pull it over my head. I look back over to Tyler to see him smirking at me making me raise a brow. "What? Is there something on my face?" I ask as I begin to pull down the mirror but get stopped by Tyler's hand on my wrist. "I was admiring you dummy." He chuckles making me blush slightly.
I glance to the time again before sighing. "I should go." I say quietly. "I'll walk you." Tyler says and before I could react he had already gotten out of the car and was heading to the airport. I quickly compose myself before doing the same and jogging to his side.
We walk in silence to where I would be boreding my plane and turn to each other. "I love you, call me when you land." Tyler says softly while holding my hands in his. I lean up and kiss him passionately then pull away. "I love you too." I say before hearing my flight number being called signaling for me to bored now. Tyler and I take one last glance to each other before letting go and walking our separate ways.
