Feel (Justin Hills)

{ 24 }

{ M a s o n }

This place is apparently nice, so I had to dress in something other than jeans.
I think I look good, so that's okay.
Kellin winks at me, I just blush as we go inside the restaurant. Justin was right, it is nice.
"Kellin, outside. Now." I say and drag him back outside.
"What now, Mason?" He asks.
"Stop, okay? Please, there's another girl for you out there. It's not me, can we be friends though?"
"It was a friendly gesture anyway." Kellin laughs and goes back inside. I sit back down in between Lili and Gabe, Justin is opposite me.
"Arrogant asshole." I snarl and pick up the menu to hide myself from all of them.
What is it about Kellin? I have a feeling we're not going to get on, our personalities clash too much.
Way too much.

It's took all of my effort not to actually slap Kellin tonight, he just gets on my nerves easily. Like way too easily. And he knows it; that's why he carries on being an asshole.
I'm sure he's a great guy, but he has this permanent smirk plastered to his face to try and wind me up. That's what also annoys the hell out of me.
He just annoys the hell out of me!
"Mas, just calm down. You seem off."
"Yeah, Mas, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder."
"Chip the fucking bone in your nose if you don't stop." I mumble to myself. Lili laughs and links her arm through mine.
She calms me down, she always has. She's my best friend, this girl knows me sometimes better than I know myself.
"Imagine living here though, Mas. It'd be amazing." She smiles, looking up at the sky full of stars.
"I know." I smile and slow down my speed to appreciate the view.
It's really beautiful.

*A Few Days Later*

"Hey, Ma?"
"Mason! How's Florida?"
"It's great! That's what I wanted to talk about." I say, diving straight in.
"Talking about how great it is?" Ma laughs, she's totally oblivious. I'm silent. "Fine then, Mas, cut the shit, doll." This is actually where I get my personality from.
"Uhm, I want to move here. Continue my studying in Florida with Lili."
"That's... A big decision, Mason. You're sure?"
"I'm very sure, Ma. I'm 100 percent sure of it. I have pretty much everything I need here. Florida has a great university, it offers many courses. Lili and I want to rent an apartment."
"That's okay, I'm letting my baby girl fly. Awww. I'm sorry, I'm getting emotional. I'll ship your stuff out right away. Love you, Mas."
"I love you too mom."
I hang up and sigh.
I thought she'd flip, like there'd be full on yelling and everything.
She took it well!
Was she expecting it? Of course she would, she's my mom and she's another person who understands me more than I do!
She knows I'll be safe, she knows Justin will look after me.
I'll be happy here and that's all my mom wants. For me to not be tied down too young, and for me to be free to make my own choices.
And that's what this is.
Florida! It'll be amazing! Sun, sea, sand, oh and studying.
I wasn't entirely lying about Florida having great universities, I've already looked at some of the courses, I want to take one in art and photography. That's always intrigued me the most, it's easier to get a job as an art teacher or a photographer.
I'll be happy!

"Justin!" I yell.
"Yeah?" He says as he comes into the room he's letting me stay in for now.
"Guess what?"
"What?" He mocks my voice.
"First of all, don't do that ever again or I will not hold back and I will do some damage, and second of all I'm allowed to move here! My mom is shipping my clothes and major essentials over! I can start fresh over here."
"That's great, Mason." He lies next to me and pulls me into his chest, kissing my forehead. "You needed the fresh start. And... You're with me!"
"And I have to live in the same state as Kellin." I roll my eyes.
"Hey! He's a good guy, he just likes to wind you up. Let him get out of his prankster faze and he'll be fine again. The best thing to do is to. Be. Nice."
"Yes, Sir!" I mock and smile.

This isn't going to be much longer and the chances are, it's probably not going to be happy go lucky. Don't kill meeeee!
And I'm sorry this is short. I'm stuck and I wanted to write because I'm very bored.
