------we wake up around lunch time get ready & go eat with my family. We order our drinks&Justin orders a sprite. My dad looks at him as if impressed, just because Justin is 21 he thinks he'd order alcohol all the time from now on.--- After we eat we go around street shops, Justin stays behind us talking to my dad while I'm with my sister& mom, then Justin& me go back to the hotel. I have to start packing, I'm leaving tomorrow. I start packing and Justin helps with a really sad face on. he says

J:do you have to go?

I keep packing & begin to tear up so I keep my head down. Justin comes up to me. He grabs my shoulders.

J:can you please talk to me or at least look at me

Im facing him and he sees me tearing up and turning red. I say

L:you don't think this isn't hard for me

he pulls me in and hugs me really tight, his warmth makes me relax I breath heavily and so is Justin I can tell he's trying to hold his tears in. We stay like this for a real long time just enjoying as much of it as we can.

J:we still have your birthday in a few months, I got a surprise for that. I love you.

L:Justin I just want you there I won't accept anything else

J:but it's a trip to Europe and I know you couldn't afford it and its your Quince thats special for hispanics. Even if it wasnt your quince it's still a special day. We can go traveling together thats what we wanted right?

L:yeah thats what we want, but thats a really long break from tour.

J:yeah its for your birthday but its in the summer after the tour and the summer after you finish your first year of high school. I know school is really important to you and you're really important to me so whats important to you, its important for me. I love you so much and im doing whatever I can to keep you forever.

L:I love you too and whatever is important to you its important to me too, okay?

J:yeah i love you

L:I love you too, I cant believe we'll be in the city of love together and so much more, its so exciting.

J:wherever we go its the city of love.

I smile and we kiss still in each others arms.

J:let's finish packing and make this day worth it.

L:any day with you is worth it.

J:same here.

We finish packing and play hide and seek all over the hotel. We go to the movies and laugh the whole time because we didn't understand it so much. We go on a boat on the sea. We ride on an elephant. Justin decides to get a tattoo and I watch while he makes weird faces to resist the pain. We go back to the hotel but on the roof. Its sunset and we sit down side by side looking at the view of so many colors in the sky and on the ground. We dance slowly with the music of cars beeping, elephants roaring, different languages, and our breathing. We lie side by side once the stars come out. I say

L:I feel like those two specific stars are looking down at me

Justin says while looking at me

J:I know two other stars that do too

I look at him and he points at his eyes. I say

L:close your eyes

he obeys my command and I kiss both eyes. I say

L:thank you stars

He says.

J:well in that case I know another two as well.
