I woke up later than usual, which was usually Andy's early. But he wasn't in bed. Odd.

I got clothes on and went downstairs, no one in the house at all, besides Honey, I patted her and gave her some food. I noticed Andy's board was gone, so I guess he was surfing.

I went down to the beach, ignoring the freezing wind against my cheeks because I was too focused, and he wasn't there, I felt like something wrong was going on here.

I walked up my driveway to find Andy standing there, all rugged up in a coat and scarf, which was unusual for Andy.

"Hey, where were you?" I asked worriedly, he shrugged and looked down, I stood still. This wasn't right.

"A-Andy?"

"Me or her, Shaun" he managed to push out. I felt the sudden need to cry. What was happening.

"W-What?"

"Y-You can either stay here with her, or leave to Melbourne with me. Tonight." He told me as the wind pierced through my ear, he began to cry. This was so not Andy.

"Did she set you up to do this?" I asked.

"It's an ultimatum. You have to choose" he sniffed, shifting his backpack.

I stared at him, what the fuck was I to do?

"I-I'll be at the airport at midnight where I'll wait for you till 2am, that's when the flight leaves...I-I'll be going, with or without you, and I won't be coming back"

I felt that tightness crawl up my throat, I let out a sob as I began to cry.

"Andy...I love you" I cried, walking up to him where I cupped his face, he blinked quickly, looking away from my eyes.

"I know I'm in love with you" I breathed

"Then prove it" he sniffed, backing away from me as he walked to what looked like Bradie's car who was in the front seat. I watched them drive away, I felt a dead feeling in my gut, I was almost nauseous.

I walked inside and sat on my staircase, breaking down into my hands. I have no idea what to do

FLASHBACK - this morning

Andy P.O.V

I stretched as I made my way down Shaun's hallway. It was only 9am, earliest I've been up in a while.

I scratched my tummy and yawned, only to stop in shock and see Brooke having breakfast. She was back early.

"Got clothes on?" She asked without looking. I looked down.

"Nope. Be right back" I laughed awkwardly as I ran to my room, getting clothes on quickly and running back. I thought about waking Shaun, but I couldn't do that.

"Good morning" I said cheerfully, pouring myself some juice.

"I know you're fucking my fiancé" she casually said, I felt more awkward than before.

"W-We'll he fucks me but-"

"I don't care Andy" she looked me right in the eyes, I tensed. She was going to murder me. I grabbed my juice and sat on the couch, completely ignoring her as I flipped through channels.

"You're expecting me to make you toast?" She asked

"It's a possibility"

She sighed and did it. I looked over at her in her white blouse and black jeans with all the elegant accessories, she was so pretty. I don't know how Shaun affords to spoil both of us. Kind of felt weird that we were sharing the same dick, too. I love Shaun, but it doesn't hurt that bad because I know he wants me. I know he loves me.

She passed me my toast, I placed it on the coffee table.

"Thank you"

"Yeah whatever"

"What's up with you grumpy pants?"

She put her hands on her hips "are you seriously asking that?"

I shifted my eyes, she went over to the counter and grabbed an envelope before coming back over.

"I need you to give Shaun an ultimatum. Me, or you"

"What? You know I can't do that, why don't you do that?"

"Because he'll get mad and say he isn't in love with you! I need him to either choose me and this life, or move with you to Melbourne and not come back. I'm sick of looking in his eyes and being able to tell he loves someone else"

I just looked at her, what was I supposed to say, she sighed and threw the envelope down. I grabbed it and opened it up. I almost covered my mouth in shock.

"Brooke...you got an abortion? Why? Why didn't you even say you were pregnant?" I asked, she sniffled and sat next to me.

"Because...because I didn't want anything holding Shaun back from being with you, and I didn't want a kid to complicate things, or make it hard for me to live how I want"

I wrapped my arms around her, she hugged me tight and sighed, her overdose of Chanel going right to my head. I felt so bad.

"I'm so sorry..." I whispered

"Doesn't matter Andy, he always loved you." She laughed slightly as she pulled away from me, wiping her eyes.

"I think me and Shaun equally deserve better...promise me you'll do this?" She asked, I nodded and kissed her forehead.

"Yeah, of course"

She smiled at me "you're a good friend"

"I'm not, but I can do this"

She nodded and got up "well I'm heading to my Karissa's...I won't be back till tomorrow"

"Wait, when did you want me to do this?" I asked, she turned and looked at me.

"Tonight. I brought you and Shaun tickets to Melbourne, they're in your room. It's for 2am."

I just stared at her in shock. This was all too much for 10am.

"I believe in you" she smiled positively as she walked out. What the fuck am I supposed to do? What if Shaun doesn't show? This was definitely going to test the both of us..

Shaun P.O.V

I stopped crying after an hour

I knew I loved him, no matter how long we stayed apart. I knew it was always him. And I wasn't going to live a lie any longer, eight years ago, I wouldn't have let this be who I'd become.

I frantically started packing my stuff, texting my boss that I had to go. I didn't care about that job anyway.

I made sure I had everything I needed. Not that I had much. I patted Honey and kissed her head, she licked my chin and I laughed. I was going to miss her so much.

I threw all my stuff into the back seat of my car and drove to my parents, where I stayed for the next few hours. Mum said she'd take me to the airport.

"And this is really what you want?" Mum asked, I assured her.

"Yes mum. When was the last time you saw me truly happy? It was always going to be him..."

"Will we ever see you?" My dad asked, I shrugged.

"Maybe a couple of years, I-I don't know, we'll stay in contact. Let me know when Brooke is happy on her own, then I'll come back"

"Okay" my mum sighed "you're an adult, and if this is what you want, We totally support it"

"Thank you both" I smiled slightly and hugged the both of them

"I love you so much"

Andy P.O.V

I got there at twelve, trying not to get my hopes up. It's Shaun, he'd usually take the easy way out. But I tried not to think about it and waited at the terminal, sat against a wall with my stuff. Was he going to come?

12am soon turned into 12:30am

12:30am soon turned into 1am

By now, I was really freaking out. I was freaking out so much I had to pee four times. I don't know how to feel, or how Shaun will react to the Melbourne life. He might not like it and go back to Sydney. What if he falls out of love with me? I shook away those thoughts, the agonising feeling continued as I saw couple after couple, holding hands, kissing. Being in love.

I love Shaun, I do, but now it's almost 1:30am and I have to get on that plane soon. With or without him.

Without him, I hope this plane manages to crash.

Shaun P.O.V

Mum parked out the front of the airport, I kissed her cheek and told her I loved her before racing inside. I checked my phone, 1:35am. Fuck, any longer at home I wouldn't have made it.

I didn't know where I was going, so I started pacing around for at least 10 minutes until I saw that boy with the blue eyes and shaggy hair stand up. I smiled wide and ran toward him, I almost jumped in his arm as we squeezed each other. We even started to cry.

"Oh god" Andy sniffed, pushing his face into my neck "I was terrified you weren't going to come" he admitted, I pulled away and wiped my eyes.

"I'm sorry, traffic was dreadful and mum drives slow"

Andy grabbed my face and kissed me softly, holding onto my lips always, a second longer. I smiled and looked in his eyes.

"Andy, there was no hesitation in whether who to choose. I've loved you for 8 years, and I'll love you forever more" I whispered, Andy smiled wide and kissed me again.

"Well come on, we've got a plane to catch"

Just making it onto the plane, we took our seats. I was actually pretty excited. This was going to be a new life. This was going to be a great life.
