“Are we actually doing this?” I ask as we lay in bed. I’m tucked against King’s chest as his arm wraps around my shoulder. “Well yeah, you said yes and so did Josie.” He whispers against my forehead. “I can’t believe it.” “You better. Since packing starts tomorrow.” I knew one day I would move out of this apartment but what if it’s too soon. It’s a comfort thing, my sanctuary and escape but I will live in the same room as my boyfriend who I love but with my anxiety sometimes I need to be alone. I would be giving that up but think of all the positives and there are many. He basically lives with me anyway, he has a drawer, we bought a bigger desk so we could both sit at it, his toothbrush has a place on my counter, his body wash lives in my shower. “It’s too early isn’t it?” Kingston questions pulling me from my thoughts. “What?” “Em we’ve been together for nearly a year, I can see the thoughts not good ones ticking away in your mind.” “I’ll just miss h

18+ | mature content One more year left and I’m done. Goodbye Boston U. You’ve been great. There’s been ups and downs. Wins and losses. Chasing and discovering. Meeting new people. Falling in love. Finding the one. We’ve spent the last few months living it up enjoying each other’s company finally living together with Austen and Josie. Spending time summer loving and exploring. We went away with my siblings to Cape Cod. Our an Airbnb was perfect and after they left. Cole stayed and the rest of our group joined us. It was really nice, very different to the year before. When we all went away but we were unfamiliar with each other. In the past year so much has changed. New relationships have blossomed. Friendships grew tighter. And an unbelievable bond between the 10 of us formed. It’s our Boston U family. Our times were filled with lots of laughter and smiles. Sharing stories and funny memories. The boys getting owned in Uno time and time again but then they teamed up in Monop

The routine we’ve settled into is comforting and nice. It’s amazing coming home to your girl. Cooking or studying or cleaning or one of my personal favourites reading in only a lace red lingerie set on the bed you share together. We both got lucky that night and I guess in the morning too since I get to wake up next to her beautiful face. It’s been a few weeks since the semester started and it’s weird not going to class and playing ice hockey and the games and practices. For awhile that was my life class and games. Now it’s my internship and my girl. The internship is amazing and perfect. It’s at the hospital Em works at from time to time. It’s basically just on the mental health ward shadowing nurses and the psychologists and learning invaluable lessons and experiences. There’s still a bit of studying to go in the whole process to becoming a psychologist. Like completing a Master’s and PhD. I took Em’s senior year off from studying to find my footing and gain some experien

It’s the second period. Cole is in the lead and every once in a while he glances up at the other 3 to the Fitzgerald Four. Damien. Tate. And me. Honestly without each other, we wouldn’t have made it through. Tate is on Damien’s lap like always. She’s tiny at 10 years old. But still freaking adorable nonetheless. Damien is yelling like there is no tomorrow. This is bittersweet for him. Because 6 years ago that should have been him. But because of the plane crash it isn’t. He had to give it up. I know he is proud of his younger brother, but shit at some point it has to hurt watching him carry out your dream. “Are you alright Dam?” I ask finally after holding it in. “Yeah yeah I’m fine. Just so happy to see him to it. You know.” “Yeah I do. But it’s ok to get upset even angry over it, this was your dream as well.” “Em honestly.” He stares at me deeply with intent. “What happened was one of the best things that ever did occur. Am I mad I didn’t get to play at lea

A/N: MATURE CONTENT | 18+ [sexual assault present, please only read if you are comfortable - resources and help lines will be linked below] “Good morning beautiful.” “Good morning handsome.” I respond to my lovely boyfriend standing in the door way all ready in his dress pants and long sleeve button down for his internship. With a tie and all. It’s sexy and damn if I’m not a little turned on by my man in his work fit. “What time is it?” I think it’s early because he hasn’t left yet for his shift at the out-reach program. He took on a small role there that he was offered through his internship. I don’t have class today but that means I have work. A 10 hour shift. In the ICU. I was offered to branch out in my CNA position and I instantly accepted. “I think it’s around 5.” Right ok I have a hour before my shift. We commute together on the days I work at the hospital. “Ok, coffee still hot?” I ask simply. “Yes gorgeous it is.” He says walking over to the bed a
