A Life of the Plain and the Simple

Four

Music Theory. It wasn't my first choice and probably wouldn't be my last, but it was a degree and that's all I ever wanted. Even if it was just a fall back so I could teach music classes if something ever happened to the band. These last two years have flown by so quickly I can barely keep up anymore. After Stella and Jack got married, they dropped off the map anytime we didn't come together for music purposes. Naturally, we expected this. Eventually, however, we managed to get back into the swing of things. When I finally got everything ready for college, I opted to do things strictly online so I could have more time with the band. Because of this, I had to find some form of solid ground to make sure I could get everything done when and how it needed to be done. I could have stayed at home with my family, but I thought it'd be best if I invested in a place of my own. It's not that I needed a break from my family, I just couldn't spend my days keeping an eye on Ali when I had things that needed to be done a certain way.


Currently, I live in a stuido apartment. It's not much, but it's mine, and there's just enough room for everything I own. Plus, the fact that my 'room' is a flat that I have to take stairs to reach makes me focus more in school. There's absolutely nothing around to distract me... Well, nothing but my boyfriend, that is.


"Hey baby," Tom climbed the last stair and let his weight fall onto the bed. I grinned to myself as his arms wrapped around my waist, submitting the last chapter of my homework before closing the laptop. "Let me guess, that was the last thing you had to submit for this week?"


"Technically, yes," I smirked widely, batting my eyelashes in a playful way. "But I've already finished the next few chapters. I figure I can get them in so I can either take a break next week or advance even more."


"How did I end up with the smartest girl on the planet?"


"You didn't," I giggled, kissing his cheek sweetly. "But this mildly smart girl loves you."


Tom rolled his eyes and pulled me down on the bed, so that my head was resting on his chest. The sound of his heart beating made my own flutter. Sometimes it still amazed me how much things had changed, how close Tom and I have managed to become. He was seriously my other half.


We were all growing up so quickly, though, and that broke my heart. Nate and I are still pretty close, but not as much as we used to be. He has Delaney and I have Tom, we have a mutal agreement that, even though we're best friends, we know our relationships are also very important.


I still make an effort to see all of my friends as often as I used to when we're on break. Spoiling Isabelle is one of my favorite things to do, sometimes she even made me want to have my own child, but it was much too soon to think about that. I still went over to the Merrick's and sang while Nate played to his mom, poor thing. And though Tom and I weren't living together, by my own request, we were still as strong as the married couple of the group. If I must be honest, however, there are so many nights I wish Tom would just show up with his bags, or at the very least pack mine, and tell me he doesn't care about how badly I want to focus on school. Sometimes I want him to realize how lonely I get when I come home and no one is here, when his arms aren't around me at night.


"What are you thinking about?" Tom asked, brushing a clump of hair away from my forehead. "You seem a little out of it, Aubs."


Truthfully, I wanted to tell him how jealous I was of Jack and Stella for being together constantly and understanding when to back off from one another, but I didn't want to make things awkward. He would probably think I'm getting too clingy, anyway.


"Will you stay here tonight?" I propped myself up on my elbows and rose an eyebrow to him. "I mean, if you want to. I did just finish my homework and you do have extra clothes here.. Even a tooth brush, so..."


"Baby, you know anytime you want me to stay, I will," Tom chuckled, removing my weight from my elbows so he could pull my face closer to his own. "I would stay here everyday if I could."


"You mean that?"


"Of course," he smiled, running his thumb over my cheek bone. "I know your family comes by to check on you, I know your dad calls all the time, but I still worry about you being here alone. That, and I miss you like crazy. I hate being away from you, Aubree."


A blush was coming to my cheek. This was something else I loved about my relationship with Tom - It didn't matter how long we'd been together, that there weren't many 'firsts' that we had left to discover with our life of just being boyfriend and girlfriend, but he still made me feel like he did all those years ago. Like I was a little girl with a crush on the cutest boy in school.


"I love you, Tom," I giggled, leaning up slightly so that our lips brushed.


"I love you more," he mumbled against my lips, making my heart beat faster. "More than you'll ever know."
