     "I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!" That always plays in my head when I'm running late for anything I sighed heavily, man on all days for me to be running late it had to be today! I ripped my phone out of my pocket and dialed Nick's number
"Hello?"
"Nick! Please tell me you guys haven't arrived yet!?" 
"Not yet mom we're about 45 minutes away" I chuckled softly Noah must be right next to him "Alright and your address is 2232 North Shore Lane?"
"Yes mom and Noah wants to know if you can send us double stuff oreo-Ahh! I was kidding dude! Focus on the road man!"
"I'll see what I can do about the oreos see you guys soon!"
"Bye mom love you I'll let you know when we're settled in" I hung up the phone and ran around looking for my shoes "Max! Have you seen my favorite vans?" Maxxie came out into the living room "The ones on your feet?" I looked down and started blushing Maxxie just smirked at me "Is someone nervous?"
"No I'm just late but Nick said I have about 45 minutes and I guess Noah wants oreos so I'm gunna stop at Walgreens you coming with?"
"As much as I'd love to stand around and watch you make out with Noah, Steph is coming over and I'd so much rather make out with her"
"Fair well I'll be home at some point see you later!" I raced out the door and over to Nick and Noah's new apartment.

     I pulled up to the apartment with a few minutes to spare I parked my car where no one would see it Nick told me the key would be in the mail box I unlocked the door and put the key back. I locked the apartment behind me and hid in the closet. I heard the door unlocking and could feel my chest tightening It's been a long 4 months I know it's nothing compared to 4 years but it'll be nice having Noah in the same city. The door opened and I could hear foot steps enter "I told you we could make it here sooner"
"Yea when you drive 90 in a 65 you shave off a couple minutes you're lucky we didn't get pulled over!"
"OH my god it's the highway no one does the speed limit"
"Yea yea let's get these boxes down and start unloading the rest any idea when Sav is showing up?"
"No idea I told her when we'd be arriving and she said she'd give us time to settle in unless we needed some help moving in"
"Well maybe if we click our heels 3 times and call her name she'll show up Savannah, Savannah, Savannah" I popped out of the closet "You rang?" Nick and Noah damn near jumped out of their skin
"Holy shit you bitch! I thought you'd be in Noah's room or something!" I was bent over from laughing so hard "I'm sorry! To be fair I don't know who's room is who's so I hid in the closet but I did bring oreos" Noah came over and pulled me into his warm embrace his scent was intoxicating it brought me back to when we reunited on tour "I'm so glad you're here, but GOD DAMN don't ever scare me like that again" I chuckled "No promises" Noah looked at me sheepishly while fidgeting "So you said you brought oreos?" I just rolled my eyes and grabbed the bag of snacks "Here, I also grabbed some doritos for Nick"
"Score!" Nick shouted diving into the junk food "We'vebeendrivingfor38hoursstraight" Nick said with a mouth full of chips "Swallow and then speak you cave man!" Noah said punching him in the arm "He is right though we each drove for 19 hours we wanted to get here as soon as possible"
"Well Noah did anyways I can't feel my ass I wanted to rest and stretch" Noah just shot Nick daggers Nick grabbed his chest like he was having a heart attack "If looks could kill come on man let's grab the couches so we can relax!" We ran outside and lugged the couches inside Nick passed out one of them while Noah and I sat on the other one "Aren't you tired Noah?"
"Exhausted actually but I want to spend time with you, so how long were you 2 conspiring behind my back?"
"About 3 days Nick called me and told me when you guys would be leaving/arriving and I called him about 2 hours ago to make sure I wasn't late" Noah laughed "I knew it wasn't his mom that called!"
"You're exhausted go to sleep I can stay here if you want but you should sleep" Noah nestled into the couch "Fine but stay please I missed you" I snuggled up next to him "I missed you too"
"So are you mine now?"
"Yea I guess" Noah snapped his head at me "Way to be so casual about it!"
"I'm sorry would you like me to sob and hyperventilate?"
"Well a single tear would be nice I mean this relationship is 4 years in the making" I chuckled softly "My apologies how about if you propose I'll cry a river"
"You got a deal Justin Timberlake now let's sleep" with that we fell asleep.
