"Callie?" I heard. My eyes fluttered open to meet my boyfriend's emerald eyes. "Ty!" I exclaimed as I gently hugged him. "Hey, baby." Tyler gently laughed as he hugged me. I looked around the room to see food cartons from McDonald's and sleeping people as we pulled away.

"I was so worried about you." I said as I looked into his eyes again. "I'm okay, I promise." He promises before kissing my hand. "The pod got you some gifts." I said as I gestured to the nightstand. Tyler looked over and saw everything. "I'm guessing you got me this?" Tyler asks as he held up the teddy bear. My lips curled into a smile.

I realized I was asleep when Roger came back with the food, so I looked on the nightstand beside the chair. Low and behold, there were chicken nuggets waiting for me.

They were still warm, so I guess they must have just passed out. I grabbed the food and ate while Tyler scrolled through his phone. I didn't want to wake Diane up because she's been up all hours of the night with the baby, so I woke Roger up. "Tyler!" He exclaimed as he saw Tyler sitting up. I smiled at the two of them before continuing to eat.

Tyler was released from the hospital the next day. There were rules though, so Tyler and I had to work around those rules. Tyler wasn't allowed to have friends over because his parents didn't want him getting anyone sick, so I could only FaceTime him and text him for about two days.

It was the last day of the containment, but it was extremely late so I had to wait until the morning to see my boyfriend. I was currently staring at the ceiling in my room when I heard something hit my window. Furrowing my eyebrows, I got up and looked down to see my boyfriend throwing pebbles at my window from the nearest rooftop. I opened the window to talk to him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. "I had to see you, I haven't seen you in two days and I haven't kissed you in forever." He pouted. I playfully rolled my eyes. "Hold on." I laughed before walking away to grab my phone, portable charger, and some sneakers. I threw everything into a drawstring bag before sneaking out through the window.

I left the window open a crack and joined my boyfriend on the roof. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. My arms looped around his neck and pulled him closer to me.

"Come on, let's go to the lake." I smiled as I pulled away. He nodded as he helped me off the roof. We both jumped down and ran towards a lake that was nearby. It was safe to swim in and everything.

We stopped in front of the heavily wooded area and looked out over the water. "You coming?" I asked after I stripped down to just my under wear and bra. I ran off the dock and dove into the water. I resurfaced and looked over to where Tyler was standing. There was a splash beside me. I laughed as I saw my boyfriend resurface. My legs wrapped around his waist as he held onto my hips. I giggled as he gently kissed my lips.

"We didn't come here to make out." I laughed as I pulled away. He pouted, but let go of me. I swam around for awhile before floating on my back. As I relaxed for the first time in forever, I felt a splash. "I'm so going to get you." I laughed as I splashed Tyler back.

After we dried off a little, we sat on the edge of the dock. "I'm really glad you came out with me tonight." Tyler laughed as we held hands. "I'm glad I came too. We haven't really spent much time alone together lately." I said as I rested my head on his shoulder. "How about I take you out on a date tonight, or we can just have a night at your place." Tyler suggests. "I'm down, my parents are out of town for work but my brothers and their girlfriends are home." I told him. He nodded softly and kissed my head.

"Let's get you home." He says as we stand up. I nod and follow him to our things. We grab our things and head back to my place. As we approached my window, he helped me up and pulled him self up. "Get some sleep, we have a big day tomorrow." Tyler says before kissing my lips and grabbing me by my hips. "You too, I love you." I said as I pulled away. He nodded as I stepped towards my window. "I love you, too. Sleep well." He says before jumping off my roof. I smile to my self and sneak back inside.

After taking a much needed shower and getting ready for the beach, I skipped outside towards the bus. My small feet led me to the spot beside Tyler. We were both tired, but excited for tonight. "What's got you two so excited?" Eric jokes. "We snuck out last night to hang out." Tyler replies as I lay my head on his lap. Tyler's hand rests on my shoulder as I attempt to take a nap before we have to work. My eyes fluttered close as the bus drove to the beach.

I woke up to Tyler gently shaking me. "Huh?" I questioned as I sat up. "We're here." He laughed as he gestured to the ocean. I nodded and collected my things before following everyone off the bus. The five of us walked into our locker rooms and changed. "So, what did you and Tyler do when you snuck out?" Gina and Lizzie asked. "I brought him to a small lake and we swam. We didn't do much." I shrugged. Technically, I wasn't lying.

They both nodded as we walked out to put our stuff in our lockers. "Hey, Callie! You down for a sleepover tonight?" Gina asked me after she asked Lizzie. "I have plans with Tyler, raincheck?" I asked. "Sure, tomorrow night?" She asked the two of us as the boys walked in. "Definitely." I smiled as I put my drawstring bag in my locker. "What's going on?" Eric asked as they put their stuff in their lockers. Tyler's was right next to mine, so I closed my locker and leaned against it. He glanced over at me with a smile on his face as we listened to the conversation. Dylan walked in with the girls from her pod. "Hey!" Everyone greeted.

"Hey!" She greeted. "Hey bubba?" I asked as I looked up at Tyler. He closed his locker and looked down at me. "Yeah?" He questions with a smirk. "My brothers asked what do you want to do for dinner tonight since we're hanging out." I told him before opening my locker and grabbing my phone. "Whatever they want to do is fine with me." He shrugged. "Ok, I'll tell them to make casserole." I joked even though I hate casserole, something Tyler and I bonded over.

"Anything but that!" He laughs. I laughed as I moved so I was next to Gina. "Awe come on! We both know you hate casserole." He laughs as we walk outside towards our tower.
