It's Always Been You

Seven

Jason's POV
Today is a travel day, so Chelsea and I are being lazy and hanging out on the bus. I wake up in bed alone, but I can smell something good coming from up front. I get out of bed and throw on a t-shirt and head to find Chelsea. "Good morning beautiful." I say walking up behind her as she flips a pancake. "Good morning." She says turning around and kissing me. "Gah, I love doing that." She tells me with a laugh as she pulls away. "We should have been doing this all along." I add as I wrap my arms around her. "We can't live in the past Jase. We are together now and that's all that matters." Chelsea hands me a plate of breakfast before fixing her own and sitting at the table with me. "Chelsea, I do have something that I want to tell you. Don't let it scare you away, and you don't have to say it back if it's too soon, but..." "Jason, I love you too."

Chelsea's POV
"Jason, I love you too." I say laughing and interrupting his little rant. He stares at me for a second as what I just said soaks in. "You love me?" Jason asks with a smile. "Of course I do. I've loved you since I was 16, I just never had the courage to tell you." I tell him as I stand up and move to sit next to him. He leans over and kisses me softly. "How about I help you clean up all the dishes, and then we curl up on the couch and watch movies until the bus stops?" He asks when he pulls away. "I think that sounds perfect." We get the dishes done and curl up on the couch and watch Hush.

I pretty much spent the whole movie hiding in Jason's shirt while he laughed. I'm a baby when it comes to scary movies. By the time the movie was over, we were almost to The Gorge for the Watershed Festival tomorrow night. "Come here baby. I want to show you the view." Jason says as he's standing at the door of the bus. I walk over to him as he opens the door and we step off the bus. I feel my mouth fall open when I see all the mountains and trees and big open fields. "Wow. This is beautiful." I whisper and I'm surprised that Jason even hears me. "I know. This is one of my favorite places to play. The view is almost as beautiful as you." Jason says turning to look at me. I can't help but get a goofy grin at his cheesy line. "Jason, I know that things with us just started, but I really don't want to leave in two days. I don't think I can handle being away from you." I tell him honestly. "Baby, I don't want you to leave either. If you don't want to leave then stay out on the road with me. I just got you back and I'm not ready to let go." "I have a job and everything there Jason, but I promise I will think about it ok?" Jason smiles and nods his head. "Wanna go for a hike?" He asks kissing me. "Absolutely."
