Vegas pov
A few months had passed since Bax and I called it quits and I recently signed a lease for an apartment near the water. Poppy and Bodhi had already left with their cars full and it was just Summer and I to get the last few things
" hey you almost forgot this box "
She pulled it out from under the bed
" oh thanks "
I rushed forward trying to grab it
" no Kimie what's in this box "
My hands fell to my sides then I motioned for her to open it. When she opened the green lid I could see the surprise on her face
" so I keep a memory box sue me "
" I'm sorry "
" you can look if you want it's nothing bad "
She started to but then quickly closed it. I grabbed the box and after a second I healed up a little clear plastic flower ring She smiled
" Remember when you proposed at my birthday party for like two seconds then ran off well I kept it "
I dropped it back into the box and closed it with a sad smile
" hey I'm sorry things didn't work out with you and- "
" it's ok we both had different dreams and we decided to follow them ... on our own "
She turned and we made our way to my car and put the last few things. She turned and hugged me so fast
" thank you Summer I'll call you when I get to the apartment "
" drive safe Kimie "
" I will sumsum "

I got settled in and a few days later I was sitting listening to a surf comp drawing a bathing suit design when there was a knock on the door. I opened it abs there was Summer
" hey girl "
She said as she walked in and I just let her
" oh my god what time is it "
" 6 "
" I completely lost track I was drawing and well "
" let me see "
I showed her the design
" that looks good "
As I was making food for us she was on her phone and she kept moving the paper around like she was contemplating what to do with it
" hey Summer I was wondering if maybe you could post the design on your story "
" what "
" I'm not trying to use you or any like that it's just I want to know if people actually like the design and I don't have a huge following but you do "
" fine fine you did make us good food after all "
" thank you you're the best "
She lifted her phone and I went back to making the food. I laughed a little when I thought about how far we've come that we're kind of inseparable now.

When the comp was done I grabbed my phone to put on some music but then I had a few notifications that Summer had posted on her story. I opened it and saw a picture of her holding up a peace sign
Next
A picture of the ocean that she tagged me in and wrote 'good luck'
Next
A picture of her at the grocery store
Next
A picture of Vegas making food in a bright white kitchen and it said 'first meal in the new place' and she tagged her in it. I looked at it for a moment then took a screenshot of it
Next
A picture of a drawing with a pole that had yes or no and the question was 'Kimie drew this would you wear this?' I taped on yes because why not? I put in my headphones and watched as my name went up on the screen in second place. I didn't realize but I had put on a playlist of songs that she made for me. I couldn't help but smile as the song ' sun keeps on shining' by almost Monday came on. I closed my eyes letting the memory play in my head.
We were at a party soon after graduation Summer was having because her mom was away and the song was super slow and depressing really so she skipped it
"That's what I get for using a playlist called It's My Party"
" And I'll cry if I want to "
Vegas questioned Summer just handed her the phone and soon a song came on and it was that song she smiled as she started to dance around and she laughed every time the song yelled. I watched her so happy and I remember thinking that she deserves to feel this happy every day because of all the things she went through.
The song ended and I made my way back to the hotel. I was watching the sunset and there was that color her color and I smiled because I knew that this break up is hard on both of us but it was for the best. It also felt like the world was saying that it was okay that we would meet again one day.
