Freya's POV "Do you still want to go to the art studio?"My eyes widened instantly, I've been looking forward to going to this place since he mentioned it, we don't have anything like a stand alone studio for students outside of our school.Our art room isn't that big so it's hard to work in there the way I can at home, or be judged by how I get lost in myself while I paint.So many students constantly would ask me questions about my work but then just tell everyone how rude, or stuck up I am because I don't answer them, in all honesty I don't even realize they are there.I started only working at home unless in class for a project but with Andrew here now I lost my space, not that I mind, I like him in my space."Yes! I would love to still go, please."I got settled in the truck after I reached over to unlock his door for him.The ride took a little while, we didn't talk really but I did scoot to the middle so I could hold his hand while laying it in my lap.I laid my head back thin
Freya's POV Continued Walking into the building I felt like my eyes just may pop out of my head. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.Between the sheer size of the place, walls littered with different art styles, rooms set off for different types of artists, this was insane.Is that a rock climbing wall? Wow, I've never seen anything like this before, this was even more impressive than that you see in movies.Walking around I became engrossed in watching two guys spray painting one of the walls. The way their individually painted, even with the spray paint. watching the difference in strokes yet the same emotion, joy, happiness.They guys knew Andrew, they introduced themselves as well, Chris and Lucas, nice guys.I continued to peruse the place finding the Photography studio, they had different lighting areas, walls separating areas so you won't get exposure light from another person, computers set off to the side for digital work, even a dark room for those using film.I was in ab
Freya's POV The drive didn't seem to take long, we sat listening to music while holding hands.I could see the smile on his face, it didn't falter once since we left the diner, he looked so happy. "Did you have a good day?"I asked quietly while looking down at his hand intertwined in mine, he squeezed it gently making me look over at him."Honestly, this was even better than I could have imagined, definitely started off a bit rough when we got to the studio but after that everything was perfect.Everyone loved you too, it was as if you had always been there with us, you fit in so effortlessly, like the piece of the puzzle that had been missing from us was now pushed into place."I don't think I will ever get used to the way he speaks to me, he never seems to hold anything back, he's so thoughtful with his words as well, makes my heart melt."You really think they liked me, didn't just fake it for you?"His head snapped to me so fast I felt the whiplash from it, good thing we were a
Freya's POV Continued Everything stopped in that moment, like someone hit pause on our life when I turned that one to face him.He sat there perfectly still, his eyes taking it all in, he was holding his breath before he moved only his eyes to look up at me before they settled back on the painting in front of him.His hands carefully reached for it, he sat it on his knees, holding it up, blocking me from seeing him, this being not only my most intimate one, but the largest of the bunch, but also the only one to be horizontal.He lowered it just enough for me to see his eyes, fully glazed over, tears steadily falling down his face as I stood there perfectly still, frozen to my spot, worried he was upset with me.He gently placed it down next to him on my bed before standing in front of me, looking down at me."You.... you were there? You saw us Freya?""I heard the music, I snuck down but when I saw you two I stopped on the stairs, not wanting to ruin it for you.""That look, the one
Freya's POV Waking up Friday morning to an empty spot next to me, Andrew's side of the bed was cold so he had to of left quite some time ago.Stretching before I finally sat up, throwing my legs over the side of the bed, I grabbed my phone.I had missed texts from Addy, Cody, Cory, Madison, even Olivia. The time was already 8:11 am which made sense now why his side was cold, he likes to get up, making breakfast for his mom before she goes to bed.I went to the bathroom, before decided to check my messages.Cody, along with Cory, and Madison all asked me how I was, told me they missed me in their own ways while saying they can't wait to see me on Monday at school.The thought of going to school made my chest feel a bit heavy but I shook it off while replying to them all in a group text.Me: Love you guys, I'm good, just taking a couple days but I will definitely see you guys on Monday, promise!Cody: Glad you're good Frey, if you need anything call Mr.Cory: I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU! Lo
Andrew's POV All the rambling thoughts of starting a new school only for my senior year was bothering me. I'm happy that ibwill get to have Freya there, but I almost wish they would have moved to us, not us to them.She fit in so perfectly with my friends, even with that little blunder that happened with Olivia, Freya is such an amazing soul to be able to understand the situation as well as forgive the way she did.Her going to my school, she wouldn't have had a single issue making the best of it along with having friends right away, plus our art program is ten times better than hers is, she would thrive there but we only had a small apartment so moving into their home was the best option for us.It stings to know that I won't be doing my senior year with my friends.While struggling in my own head Stephen came home asking if we still wanted to go to dinner all together, which of course we did.I watched my mother as she came downstairs, the moment she looked over to see Stephen I wa
Freya's POV Top golf ended up being way more fun than I'd imagined, plus I had more fun doing it tonight than ever before.We come here at least once a month if not twice, but tonight was the best.However the mood managed to become spoiled due to Cory's attitude towards Andrew, I guess towards myself too considering she didn't even say goodbye to me when she left, she just turned, then walked away from me.Madison on the other hand was nice about it, she even did a little warning about hurting me which was a bit surprising coming from her considering she is usually our quiet one, just made me appreciate it even more.When she went to leave, she hugged me tightly."Frey, I just want you to be happy, I'm sorry for Cory, it's just because of Cody, she has always wanted you two to end up together, her hopes were up when he finally decided to ask about that movie, but she pushed him hard to do it.Now seeing you two out together, late, she knows you lied about not being able to go."She
Freya's POV Continued After the movie, which yes, I cried while they made fun of it we all went home but not before Andrew invited Cody to go with us Sunday for the day to which he agreed so he will be following us because he wants to see if Madi wants to come along with us.Cory and Addy have swim practice Sunday morning so we know they can't join, but Madi usually comes to my house Sundays until they are done they we all go out together so Cody knows she may want to come with us.On the ride home I sat pondering if Cody actually likes Madison, I know Madi always denied that she did but I could always see that she did with the way she looked at him, but also knew that she would never act on them due to how everyone spoke about how we would be so good together."What's going on in that pretty head of yours right now? I can see the wheels turning."I laughed at him before shaking my head, I love how he can read me so well already, like we've known one another our entire lives like I ha
