the next morning when i woke up scott wasn't in the bed.
"scotty?" i called out, still half asleep.
no response.
where is he?
when i started walking up a bit more i could hear the shower running.
he's probably in there.
at least i hope he's in there.
who else could be in there?
stop making yourself scared.
i turned around and got my phone from the floor next to the hotel bed, because for some reason there wasn't a nightstand there.
i got it out of the charger and turned it on to see if i got any messages.
i had some from troye.
ozzie:

seeing as you're not responding i assume it went well
daddy:

the shower stopped running.
daddy:

ozzie:

daddy:

ozzie:

i turned off my phone and stared at the bathroom door, waiting for scott to come out.
-
i fell asleep again.
i didn't want to
but i did.
so i woke up, seeing scott laying next to me on his back, doing something on his phone.
i turned to my side, facing his way.
he looked away from his phone to his side, seeing me being awake and stuff.
"good morning. well, more like like 1 pm." he laughed.
"seriously? 1 pm?" i asked, pretty mad at myself. how the fuck did i sleep until 1 pm?
"it's fine, babe. it's not like we can't do anything anymore." he smiled.
he seems HAPPY.
yes.
i hope it's not a fake happy.
"i guess, yeah." i shrugged.
"how are you feeling?" i asked, hoping i'd hear something good.
he smiled.
"i'm alright. not too bad, but not that amazing either."
that's better than yesterday.
"but i know that it'll all be okay." he added.
"of course it will."
he smiled and went in to kiss my cheek.
"don't. i probably look like trash." i moved back a bit.
"oh, shut up." he laughed and kissed my cheek anyway.
"no, seriously. i'm gonna go shower." i tried to get up but scott wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back.
"nope." he said and kissed my cheek like 1000 times.
"scotty, come on." i laughed.
"you're gonna stay here for a little longer." he held his arms around me pretty tight.
i sighed and laughed, laying back down.
"fine."
"yes." he turned me so i was facing him with his arms around my back.
"i love you." he smiled.
"when are you planning on going back?" i asked him.
"correction: we." he laughed.
"and we have to be out of this hotel by tonight."
"tonight?" i asked.
he nodded.
"bye. i'm gonna shower." i succeeded at getting out of his arms this time.
"nooo." he reached out his arms to me as i walked towards the bathroom.
"stay."
i spotted the bright blue bracelet around his wrist, making me smile and look at mine.
"bye." i laughed and went into the bathroom.
-
after about 10 minutes i finished showering and walked back into the room, where scott was laying in the exact same position as when i left.
"you're not wearing any clothes." he pointed out.
"i'm wearing a towel."
"but i don't think you're wearing anything underneath." he laughed.
"i'm gonna get dressed now." i rolled my eyes and laughed, walking up to our bags in the corner of the room.
i put on everything except a shirt of some sort.
i looked behind me to see if scott was looking before stealing a black sweater from his bag, putting it on before walking back to him.
"is that my sweater?" scott asked as soon as he saw me.
"what, no." i scoffed.
"i would never steal your sweaters."
he laughed and got up.
"alright."
he went up to me and put his hands on my waist.
"can i kiss you now? because you don't look like trash anymore. even though you literally never did." he smiled.
i nodded and kissed him once before looking past him to a clock that was hung on the wall.
it was already 2 pm.
"we should probably start going." i suggested.
"what do you mean?"
"like, just leave the hotel and put our bags in your car and see what we're gonna do next."
he nodded.
"yeah, sounds like an idea."
-
"if we start driving now, we'll be able to make it back at around 10 pm." scott said as he put our bags in the back of the car.
"do you want to go back already?" i asked.
"what can we do here that we can't do in la?"
i shrugged.
"i don't know."
"do you want to stay?" he leaned against the back of his car and looked at me
"do you?"
he shook his head.
"not really."
"let's go then." i said and walked around the car, getting in on the passenger side.
scott got in on the other side.
"but you don't mind driving for another 8 hours?" i asked.
"no, but we can make a stop in between if you want." he started his car and drove out of the parking spot.
"we'll see i guess."
