Different

I woke up in Andy's arm, and all the memories of the previous night flooded my mind. I blushed and wondered how long Andy would put up with me and my emotions. Even I gave up a few times, but that's something I didn't want to get into with him. "Morning," he smirked as he softly stroked my long, black hair.
"I'm sorry. Two nights in a row now. Not exactly a great start," I replied quietly.
He chuckled. God I loved that. "I think two nights cuddled up next to each other is good no matter the circumstance."
He made everything feel so right, but my mothers words still infected my mind. It swirled like a great plague and nearly engulfed me whole until Andy startled me out of my thoughts. "Are you okay?" He asked with a sincere look on his face.
"Um, yeah. Yeah, it's fine," I quickly slurred out.
I knew he didn't believe me but he didn't press on. He simply decided to ask what I wanted to do today.
"I don't know, what if we just walked?" I asked remembering all the times my dad would take me in walks all around the city.
Andy agreed and we took our time getting ready. It felt nice not having somewhere to be, or someone to meet, it was just us. I wish we could have stayed like this for eternity.
It was Andy's last day in Oregon, and we were both packing up. "Are you sure you're okay? I can still change my flight," he asked with worry in his voice.
While I normally hated when people coddled me, for some reason I didn't mind it when he did it. I still held my ground, though. "No, seriously, Andy. I'm fine. Sarah has already cleared out her guest room, and after two days I'll be driving out to New Hampshire."
He solemnly nodded, and walked over to where I was. He rubbed his hands down my arms, and coaxed my hands open. He stood there, holding my hands, for a few moments, until he brought my hands up to his neck. His own hands landed around my waist, and he pulled me into a hug. "I just don't want to leave you. I don't know what it is about you, but you make me feel something I've never felt before," he whispered into my ear.
I pulled away. "Is that what you say to all of them?" Self doubt took over my body and mind.
We stood there in silence until I walked away and started to help pack his things once again. "Liza..." He sighed, "I'm serious. I don't know why you always think so little of yourself, but you need to just stop. I love you, the guys love you, your friends love you. Please, just listen to me."
I could tell he was somewhere in between desperate and pissed off. I stopped what I was doing and turned towards him. "Look, I'm sorry, there are some things that take time for me to process, something like us is one of those things. It's only been 2 weeks, can you really blame me for being a little cautious when you say stuff like that?" I was getting angrier. I guess I just had to let it all out. After a few deep breaths I apologized.
He looked straight at me. I couldn't tell if he was pissed or if he was sad. Once we both sighed and calmed down he responded, "I understand. I'm sorry that things are so rushed, I just really like you, and I want this to work."
I looked up at him. I really couldn't stay mad at him. I understood what he meant. "Hey, you know that you can always come visit me, and I can always go to LA for my breaks," I told him optimistically.
He smiled and whispered, "I guess we should get back to packing."
After about half an hour and a check of the hotel room we were in my car on the way to the airport.
We kept talking, trying to fit three months into 30 minutes. It wasn't until we reached the airport that either of us admitted we were leaving each other.
We had just gotten Andy's bags checked and he checked into his flight when he said, "I can't wait to get you out to LA, you're going to love it."
I pulled him into a hug and started to cry. He was the best part of my summer, and now I had to give it up. "I'm going to miss you so much," I whispered as his arms encircled me.
"Liza..." He sighed mournfully.
I leaned away and took a step back. I quickly wiped my eyes, and saw the guys waiting for him to go through security. "You should go, the guys are waiting."
He hugged me again and whispered "I will call you the second we land, and skype you once I get home. Okay?" He pulled my chin up and kissed me. "This won't be the end. I promise. I love, and I'll miss you so much."
He walked away towards the security line. It took all I had not to cry.
I slowly made it back to my car. I decided to call Sarah.
"Oh! How long until you're coming over?" She asked as soon as she picked up.
I tried to collect myself before answering, "Um, about an hour and a half..." I voice faltered and I began to trail off.
"Hey, are you okay?" I knew she cared, but anyone in the world could tell I wan't alright.
"I'm alright. I just..." it took a moment for me to place the words I was looking for, "... miss him."
We talked for a short while, and she tried to help divert my attention from Andy. It worked for a while.
I was able to get to Sarah's with little difficulty, and had started to settle down when I got a call from Andy. I quickly pondered how long we could last like this before answering the phone.

Notes

Hey! I have a lot of fics waiting to get finished, and a lot more ideas floating around in my head. I have a really cool idea to write a fic a lot like the plot to Beyond: Two Souls (great game, you should totally play it), where Andy is pretty much Jodie, and he has an entity linked to him, and yeah... anyways, tell me what you think. I also have a high school fic I'm writing right now.
Thanks so much for putting up with my horrible schedule for updating. I'm not exactly the most organized person in the world, so updating takes a little bit more time.
Love you guys! <3
