Quick note: I was reading my own fanfic and wowie I'm and awful author. I leave awful cliffhangers and I make the story v meme-y. I'm not gonna stop doing it but I acknowledged it. Anyways.

I woke up in a different bed and panicked internally before realising I was just on holiday with Alex. He was asleep beside me still. I'm glad he left his laptop back in Georgia because he really needed to get off of there for more than 12 hours.

I closed my eyes again and fell asleep.

I woke back up and heard water running. I sat up in the huge bed which felt like a cloud compared to the beds in the dorm. I made a mental note to pick up some mattress pads for them.

The hotel room wasn't super fancy and it only had one bed but neither Alex or I were complaining because if we could without being practically on top of each other, we'd sleep in the same bed more often.

I had made plans to go to the beach with Alex today and just walk. We walked a lot but we didn't mind. Walking was free.

The water stopped running and I heard the curtain get pulled back.

'Alex is in there naked,' I thought to myself, 'I could walk right in there.'

I got up and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Yeah?" Alex's voice was a little muffled.

"You decent?" I asked, one hand on the doorknob.

"One sec," he said. I waited. "Yeah, come in."

I opened the door and saw Alex with a white towel wrapped around his waist. He was holding a toothbrush and toothpaste and looking in the mirror.

"Hey." He said simply.

"Hey you." I said back. I grabbed my toothbrush from my literal plastic bag of things and took the toothpaste from Alex. "You wanna go get breakfast or do you just want to stay in the room?" I put the toothbrush in my mouth, scrubbing the morning taste out of my mouth.

He spit out the toothpaste foam, "Let's just go get coffee somewhere." He said with that voice you have trying to hold toothpaste and spit in your mouth.

I nodded and finished brushing my teeth at the double sink before responding. "Sounds great. I just refuse to get McDonald's coffee."

He laughed at me and walked behind me to get dressed.

I didn't bother to close the door since I couldn't see Alex and just stripped out of my pjs and turned the water in the shower on to get hot. I thought I heard him say something. "What?" I asked over the sound of the water.

He didn't respond so I just shrugged and got in the shower.

The hot water felt nice on my back and I washed my hair thoroughly. Most of the time I just stood under the hot stream of water.

I shut off the water and pulled open the curtain. I stepped out and grabbed a towel, drying my hair quickly. I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked out into the room. Alex was sitting on the bed, just stating.

Be saw me and his face turned bright red and he looked down.

"Alex?" I asked pulling out clothes to wear. "You alright Hun?"

He shook his head. Somehow his face got even redder. "What's wrong?"

He sighed. "You should've closed the door."

"I didn't think you'd see me."

"I did."

My face turned red. "Oh. I'm sorry."

"It's fine"

I nodded and grabbed his hand. "I'm gonna get dressed then we'll find somewhere to get coffee. Okay?"

He nodded.

"Okay," I said letting his hand go. I walked back into the bathroom, making sure to close the door this time and got dressed quickly. I brushed my hair and pulled it up into a pony tail. The California heat was making my hair frizzy.

I walked back out and Alex hadn't moved. "You ready?" I asked.

He nodded and stood up.

"Alex."

He looked at me. "I have a question." He said. His eyes looked sad.

"What is it?"

Tears were welling in his eyes. "Do you not love me?"
