i woke up to my alarm going off at 6 am, i couldn't get myself to open my eyes but i felt quinton moving

quinton: baby wake up

cynthia: i don't want to

i say as my eyes are closed

quinton kissed me

quinton: you can sleep on the plane and once we get back home

cynthia: ok ok i'm up

quinton: good

cynthia: i'm gonna get changed

quinton: just stay in your pajamas, you'll be comfortable

cynthia: ok i'm gonna go and brush my teeth

quinton: ok

i finished brushing my teeth and came back to the room where i saw quinton ready to go

quinton: our flight is at 8 and it's 6:30 so we should get going soon

cynthia: ok let's leave at 7 then

quinton: ok

i sat on the bed and quinton sat next to me, i put my head on his chest and he started playing with my hair

quinton: so what happened at the end of the movie

cynthia: what mov- ohh, they ended up winning

quinton: thought so

quinton: we should say our goodbyes to my parents

cynthia: oh right, let's go

we walked towards the living room where they were

quinton: hey, we just wanted to say goodbye before we left

crystal: goodbye quinton

she gave quinton a hug and started tearing up

john: okay

he started patting her back trying to get her to calm down

cynthia: bye guys thanks so much for having me, i consider you guys as my parents i love you both

i hug them and we leave the house and go in quintons truck

quinton: i hate saying goodbye

cynthia: me too

quinton put his hand on my thigh and started driving to the airport.
we got to the airport and now we're on the plane, i really tired because i woke up at 6 so i drift off to sleep. before i know it, i hear the flight attendant announce that we are in LA

cynthia: how long did i sleep for

quinton: the entire flight

cynthia: why didn't you wake me up

quinton: you looked so peaceful

i laugh

we walked out of the airport and i saw josh waiting for us, i run up to him and jump in his arms since this is the most time i've spent without him

cynthia: HI

josh: YOUR BACK

we catch up on what happened in north carolina and what happened in LA when we were gone. we arrive and everyone runs up to us. lauren hugs me

lauren: babe! i missed youuu

cynthia: i missed you too

i hug her tightly

lauren: tell me everything later

i take a turn hugging all the girls and i see ellie in the corner of my eye but i ignore her because she's not worth it
the boys greeted quinton and i went up to our room while that was happening and i see chase on quinton and i's bed making out with charli

cynthia: why the fuck are you guys on my bed

charli: omg sorry i didn't know you were getting back today

cynthia: it's fine, can you guys just get off my bed please

i look at chase who avoids eye contact with me, he's probably embarrassed of what happened before i left for north carolina ( he confessed his feeling and said he wanted to start over. for anyone who doesn't remember)

charli: i missed you, and sorry for all of this, we're going to leave now

chase: charli, you go and i'll be right out after you

charli: okay

chase: hey, um i'm not sure if you remember or if you were drunk at the party before you left but-

cynthia: i wasn't drunk, i remember ever that happened

chase: what i said was true and i meant it but im guessing you going to north carolina with quinton was you rejecting me

cynthia: i think i made it very clear

chase: the offer still stands

cynthia: your with charli though, we may not be the bestest friends but i'm not letting you treat her like this

chase: we're not even official yet, i'm still waiting on you

cynthia: CHASE, I SAID NO SO GET OUT OF MY ROOM

quinton: chase what the fuck are you doing here

chase: i was just leaving

chase walked past quinton but quinton put his hand on chase's chest and stopped him

quinton: next time you go near her, i won't resist the urge to knock you out

chase: boohoo dude, she's all yours

quinton punched chase across the face

cynthia: QUINTON!

quinton: that's for upsetting her

chase gets up from the floor and punches quinton, the start punching and kicking each other

cynthia: STOP IT

i run in between them and pull quinton away from chase

cynthia: quinton stop, look at me, you need to calm down

quinton: i swear to god i'm going to kill him!

chase: FUCK YOU

cynthia: chase just leave

i look at him in the eye basically begging him to

chase: only because you told me to

quinton start to move towards him and i pull him away and walk him into our room and shut the door

cynthia: what just happened

quinton stayed silent

cynthia: what? your quiet now? what if you seriously hurt him, you think he would just let it go? you would be in real trouble if he told the cops

quinton: i don't care

cynthia: what's has gotten into you? five seconds ago you were fine and as soon as you see him, you go psychotic

quinton: he was bothering you, he needed to be put in his place

cynthia: that's for be to handle, i don't need my boyfriend to step in and beat up whoever occasionally pisses me off

quinton: WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY

i step back in fear, quinton has never raised his voice and me

quinton: i'm sorry i didn't mean to-

he walks closer to me and i run to the bathroom locking the door

quinton: babe, i didn't mean to scare you...i'm sorry, can you come out

i start crying because i'm already so tired from travelling and i come home to relax but then quinton and chase start fighting and i get yelled at right after

quinton: baby please open the door

i get up and unlock the door, quinton comes running inside and immediately pulls me into a hug

quinton: i'll do anything, just please stop crying and talk to me

i put my head on his chest and i continue to cry struggling to get any words out

cynthia: i-i- i'm sorry

quinton: why are you sorry? you didn't do anything

cynthia: this is all my fault

quinton: no it isn't

cynthia: your bleeding

quinton: it's just a scratch

i wipe the tears off of my face and pull away from quinton, grabbing the first aid kit from the bathroom drawer

quinton: just sit back down im fine

i take the bandage wrap out of the kit and start wrapping it around quintons fists

quinton stays quiet and i finish wrapping, we sit in awkward silence staring at the floor. i hear someone running into our room

lauren: what are you doing in the ground? have you been crying? what's wrong? was quinton the one who beat up chase because he's pretty bruised up downstairs

cynthia: lauren, too many questions

lauren: get up, let's go to lay down

she takes my hand and walks over to the bed, i hear quinton cleaning up in the bathroom

lauren: you don't have to say anything until your ready

cynthia: can we just chill or something, today has been insane

lauren: yeah sure

she reaches over for the remote and turns on the tv, after a couple minutes, i fall asleep but i jumped up when i heard quinton coming out of the bathroom, we made eye contact and he left the room

cynthia: where is he going?

lauren: i don't know, maybe he just wanted to give you some space

cynthia: i don't want him too, it's a long story but i shouldn't have gotten mad at him for getting into a fight with chase, he was doing it to protect me and chase is an asshole and he deserved it

lauren: do you want me to go get him

cynthia: please

lauren nodded and got up to go downstairs to find quinton

my eyes felt really heavy so i started to drift off, i was sleeping when i heard someone coming into the room and shutting the door. i open my eyes and see quinton walking over to me. he layed down beside me and pulled the blanket over us. quinton stared into my eyes and i put my head in the crook of his neck and wrapped my arms around his chest pulling him closer to me

quinton: i love you so much

cynthia: i love you too

we fell asleep in each others arms
