It's Not Goodbye, It's BRB

Chapter 16

"Jc?" I mumbled as my head laid on his chest.

"Yeah?" His eyes were half open as he rubbed my back.

"Why do you like me?" I drew circles with my fingers on his chest

"Well, what's not to like? You're pretty, funny, easy to talk to and are just all around perfect in my eyes" he closed his eyes and smiled a bit "Why do you like me?"

"Well, to be honest I'm just in it for your looks" I laughed

His eyes shot open and he gave me his signature look "Rude"

I sat up and straddled him, getting into his face "Just kidding" I kissed his nose and laid back down on the couch "I love your laugh, the fact you can make everyone around you feel comfortable, and that you just really care about people" I cuddled closer to him "I just love...you" I mumbled into his shirt

"I love you too" he kissed my head.

"Hey lovers! Wake up!! We have things to do" I waved my hand around looking for Sam so I could slap him, gosh he could be so annoying in the morning.

"Sam, I love ya babe but you gotta let a girl sleep" I buried my head more into Jc's chest, he stirred a bit holding my waist tighter.

"No come on guys, we have to go do things today" he began to whine like a baby.

"Sam, oh my god give us like ten minutes. If we aren't up by then, I give you permission to beat us" Jc began to say sleepily.

"Fine" and with that Sam left

"I don't want to get up...ever" Jc chuckled as he stretched.

"I know me too" I sat up and rubbed my face, yawning "but I don't want to upset the Sammy"

About 2 hours later I was helping Connor pack the trunk with skateboards, blankets and other miscellaneous items for our trip to Long Beach.

Jc walked out of The front door drinking an Arizona "Almost ready?" He leaned up against the car

"Yeah" I grabbed the Arizona out of his hand taking a sip.

We all piled into the car once again and headed on a new adventure.

"We're here!" Connor shook me "Cooommmeee on guyyyssss!" he shook me harder and I fluttered my eyes open.

"Ok, ok we'll be right out" I took my head off Jc's shoulder and poked his face "Jc, wake up. Jc.." I poked him a bit harder "I know you're awake bro"

"But I'm comfortable" he said with his eyes still shut

"You're sleeping against a car door, you are not comfortable." I laughed and grabbed his hands "Come lets go, you sleep too much"

He opened his eyes and smiled at me "And you don't"

"Oh shut up and let's get to the pier before everyone kills us" I laughed giving him a kiss and grabbing his hand as we walked away from the car.

We reached the pier and all the boys were just standing there waiting for us.

"You guys need to learn to sleep at regular hours of the day, not just whenever the time feels right" Ricky said with a smile spreading across his face.

"So Jarrad is having a bonfire tomorrow night" Sam said as we reached Kian's house later that night

"Are we gonna go?" I asked through a yawn

"Uh YEAH" Kian and Connor said at the same time.

"So when are you leaving for your date with Ali" I asked Ricardo as I plopped on the couch next to him

He looked at his phone "Eh about 20 minutes, I'm gonna go change" He got up and started to walk upstairs.

"MAKE SURE YOU LOOK SEXY!" I heard Jc yell from the kitchen.

"NAH I ONLY LIKE TO LOOK SEXY FOR YOU" He yelled back and ran up the stairs.

He came down a bit later looking quite nice "Wow looking good babes" I smiled and fixed his shirt

"Thanks" He gave me a quick hug and ran out the door

"Have fun!" I yelled just before he closed the door

I laughed quietly and sat back down, grabbing the remote. I suddenly felt someone sitting next to me, all I heard was the crunching of chips.

"Hi" I turned to see Sam sitting next to me with a bag of Cheetos

"Hey, Sammy boy" I smiled and scooted closer to him, grabbing some chips

"Kaitlyn are you mad at me for what I did the other night?" he looked at me he face completely blank.

"No, of course not Sam. Why would I be?"

"I don't know, I just feel like you and Kian are like meh now" he crained his neck to look into the kitchen "I didn't mean to say what I did, it just kind of you know slipped out. I talked to Kian and he said he wasn't mad but I just feel like" he sighed "...I feel bad"

"Don't feel bad Sam, I know you didn't mean anything by it. I think me and Kian just need to talk or something, you know?"

"Yeah, if you want I can take Jc and the guys somewhere so you can talk - Kian's in the shower so I'll just grab the guys before he comes down" he gave me a sweet smile "I just want everything to be less weird"

I looked at Sam and gave him a kiss on the cheek "Yeah that'd be great" Sam was right, ever since the other night things had been a little weird between me and Kian we've barley even talked since. I don't think I've ever not talked to Kian for this long.

Sam got up off the couch and walked into the kitchen "Hey Guys, um Kaitlyn doesn't feel too good and she was wondering if we could go to the store and get some stuff"

I heard a group "Sure" come out of the kitchen.

The boys walked into the living room as I laid on the couch and tried to look a little sick.

"Are you ok babe, do you want me to stay with you?" Jc came and squatted by the couch brushing my hair out of my face

I sweetly smiled at him "Nah that's ok. And anyway skating at this time is so nice" I knew that would get him, he had been improving in his skating and had been taking whatever chance he could to go out and do it in this nice California weather.

"Ok, well I'll be back." he kissed my head and headed out after the others.

Kian came down the stairs just as the boys left "Where are they going?" He shook out his wet hair.

"Oh, Sam told them I wasn't feeling to good and that I needed some stuff from the store" I stood up and followed Kian to the kitchen

"Why'd you do that?" He pulled at his sweatpants and scratched his bare back

"Cause we need to talk about the other night"

"No we don't" he grabbed and Arizona out of the fridge and breezed passed me going up to his room.

I followed him "Um yeah we do"

He sat down on his bean bag and looked at me "You found out how I feel, you shot me down - that's it. See, we just talked about it"

I rolled my eyes and sat on his bed "Well Kian what if I said that, maybe, just maybe" I turned my head down as I finished my sentence

"Maybe just maybe what? Kaitlyn I swear if you say what I think you're saying I'm jumping out that window"

I took a deep breath "Maybe I feel the same but-"

I heard him sigh loudly and walk over to the bed and put an arm around me "-but I told you at the wrong time." he finished my thought for me

"Yeah" I turned to him "I guess we're just not that great at timing" I laughed and gave him a hug

"Yeah...bad timing" he mumbled, hugging me back hard.
