▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

     IT was officially Sunday which meant Christoffer would be leaving in a week, off to join the military for a year. Not only that but Lani had officially decided to go see what the letter she had received was about; after her boyfriend left of course. It may sound stupid and strange as to why she won't tell him; that's what being in a relationship is about, honesty and trust. But, she knew better.

She knew if she told him she even struggled with it a few months prior she knew he'd drop everything and stay. Which was the last thing she wanted, sort of. She would love for him to stay until she graduated but she wanted him to travel, do something for his own not what his father demanded he do. She wanted him to live life and not be subjected to what his father wants and or her issues.

Like her mother, Leilani Santiago refused to place her problems onto another's shoulders.

It was bad enough her father was treating her like a wounded dove; with checking up on her every half an hour, making sure she ate her meals, taking her medicine; she appreciated her father's worry, and who could blame him? Roy went through this with her mother only no one but herself knew about it.

Maybe he felt like he needed to do this, or he could save her unlike her mother; she thought.

Since receiving the letter she had numerous thoughts and none of which were good. What if she was sick again? What if this time there was no way of treating it and throughout the months/years it had gotten substantially worse? Would she move across the world for treatment? Leaving her best friends and the boy she loves. Would she tell her friends? Would she tell Chris?

She rubbed at her temples as her anxiety worsened in a matter of moments just thinking of the possible outcomes that would come with that piece of paper. She groaned hearing music coming from her brother's bedroom; Isak.

Elías had practice at the dojo today, so Isak had spent the morning in the teen's room waiting for him.

"Lani?" A voice echoed through her laptop's speaker. She hummed looking down at the screen seeing her boyfriend's concerned eyes. "You okay? Do you want me to come over?"

Lani shook her head, "Sorry, nei, I forgot I was supposed to, uh, call Daniel." Chris rolled his hazel orbs, Lani smiled softly, "Don't be jealous. He wanted to know what to get Eva for their one month anniversary."

"Well, I think what I got you was and is unbeatable." He smiled widely.

Lani's lips twitched upwards as she subconsciously twirled the rose-gold ring around her ring finger. "It isn't a competition, Chris." She rolled her eyes.

Chris nodded, "I know, I know."

The music continued to blare throughout the house.

"Isak?"

"Isak." She affirmed with a sigh, "I'll be back." She said getting up from the bed and leaving.

"Wait--"

Lani walked down the hall knocking on the wooden door. She sighed as the door remained shut. She knocked again. No response.

Growing annoyed she opened the door seeing the boy on his bed with his phone out, a frown etched on his thin lips.

"Mind turning it up? It isn't annoying . . . yet." She sarcastically called out looking to the boy who furrowed his brows reaching for the remote and lowering the volume down.

"Huh?" He asked tilting his head to the side.

Lani smiled shaking her head, "I asked if you could turn it down."

Isak parted his lips and nodded, "Sorry." He sheepishly smiled.

Lani nodded, "It's okay." She gnawed on her lip seeing him focused on his phone. "Everything okay?"

Isak looked up from his phone and nodded unconvincingly. "Yeah, yeah."

Lani rose a brow as she leant against the door frame, "I have a brother who is a horrible liar so I think I have a good idea when someone else is too."

Isak bit his lip as he shrunk back into the bed frame.

Lani shut the door behind her gently as she sat on the edge of the bed. "What's wrong?"

Isak cleared his throat, "Nothing-" He began only to cower back seeing the glare on her soft features, with a sigh he said, "Eskild, keeps talking about guys he's going out with and it's irritating."

Lani's lips twitched upwards, "What's so wrong with that?"

"He keeps asking me, if I think they're handsome and it's fucking annoying." He grumbled. Lani bit her lip recalling what Eva had found in the boy's phone months prior. "And he keeps talking about, his, 'g-gaydar' or whatever."

"Have you told him how you feel about it?"

"Yes!" He exclaimed.

"With that tone?" She teased. Isak rolled his eyes as Lani sighed, "E--Eskild is like that. He's blunt, but kind and means well." She defended the boy, "He doesn't mean to be rude he just-- he thinks there's more to you then what meets the eye . . ." She trailed off.

"What?" Isak asked the brunette in utter confusion.

Lani rolled his eyes, "He thinks you like boys." She bluntly said.

"I--I don't like boys." He argued, "I like girls." He said more to himself then Lani.

Lani shrugged, "And I like both -- well, everyone." She giggled, only to receive an annoyed eye roll from the blonde. "That boy in our drama group -- Even? You guys seemed to hit off." Isak widened his eyes, "As friends." She quickly said.

Isak nodded feeling a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach at the word; friends. Ignoring the feeling he listened to the brunette knowing it would be useless to argue with her.

"It's not my business who or what you like, but I want you to know I think of you like a second brother and I'm here for you if you wanna talk about anything." She said softly, "I won't judge. I'm probably the last person who'd ever judge someone's choices." She chuckled.

Isak's lips twitched upwards, "Well you're dating Nissen's former fuckboy." He joked.

Lani's giggled and nodded, "Yeah." She breathed out.  She turned her attention back to Isak, "Just don't be so hard on Eskild, he doesn't mean any harm. And if you're straight, cool, if you're bi cool, if you're gay awesome. Just remember, no one's going to judge you. I mean it's 2017 what are they gonna say? You're gay? Gay also means happy." She chirped.

Isak nodded, "Doubt a family of Christians would agree." He muttered lowly.

Lani parted her lips at the new fond information.

She reached over and placed her hand over his pale one, "God loves everyone." She said confidently, "Doesn't matter your age, race, culture, sexuality. It was said he loves everyone, and I believe he loves every single soul on this planet." Isak avoided her eyes looking down at her hand on his then back into her emerald eyes, "And, fuck what anyone else says." She smirked.

Isak smiled genuinely at the brunette, "Tak, Lani." She smiled and stood up placing her lips against the crown of his head. He watched her walk to the door, "Lani?" She hummed turning around, "P-please don't tell anyone about this or what we talked about."

She smiled softly and nodded placing her fingers to her lips signifying her lips were sealed.

She exited the room making her way down to her bedroom plopping herself on the bed.

"Sorry."

"Finally! I was going to file for a missing person's report." He dramatically said.

Lani giggled as she shook her head.

She listened to him ramble about Brien demanding he pack before he leaves so he wouldn't forget anything behind.

She watched as his eyes lit up talking about the months to come and how when he'd return he'd put his father in his place, though he was debating on taking over the company when he returned he wanted to do other things as well.

A sad smiled graced her lips as she listened to the man she had come to love deeply speak about their future, her emerald eyes trailed over to her desk which displayed a white envelope poking out of her sleek black sketchbook.

"Then we can go to Paris because I know how much you've always wanted to go." Chris rambled as plans formed in his mind for the trip to the city of love. "Doesn't that sound good?" He asked with a bright smile.

Lani nodded softly, "I--it sounds perfect." She said as her chest ached at her words.

𝖬𝖠𝖭𝖣𝖠𝖦, 13:25pm

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

   LANI sat in the courtyard with Eva, the strawberry blonde had gushed about her date on Friday with the blonde American boy; Daniel Rivers. Lani was happy the two were together and that she didn't have to worry about Daniel's feelings towards her; even if everyone knew the boy still felt some type of way towards the brunette.

Eva nudged the brunette who blinked looking towards her.

"Huh?"

"Your man is here." She smiled widely nodding behind her.

"What?" She furrowed her brows only to be cut off by lips being pressed against her own. Lani widened her eyes as Chris pulled away with a daze in his hazel eyes and his infamous smile gracing his lips.

"Hei." He said happily.

Lani blinked herself away from shock seeing Eva winking at the two as she approached Vilde.

She looked down seeing a single white rose in his hand, "For you."

Lani parted her lips as she looked down at the beautiful rose and hesitantly grabbed it, "Tak." She said quietly.

Chris frowned, "What's wrong? I thought white roses were your favourite? Did you know they symbolized true love? If not I can get purple? My mother knew a florist in Paris who sold these multicoloured ones I can-"

Lani kissed his lips shushing the boy. Pulling away she smiled up at him, "It's perfect."

Chris kissed the tip of her nose, "Like my princess." Lani turned her head as her cheeks radiated heat, "You're so cute when you blush." He teased peppering her cheeks with kisses.

"Stop." She giggled pushing him away gently.

Chris' content smiled remained on his lips as he gazed down at his girlfriend.

"Why are you here?" She asked softly. Chris gaped at her question, "Nei, nei. I mean I still have one more class before I have to leave, you're early." She grasped his larger hand in her's as she swing it back and forth.

"Well, I finished packing after Brien threw a shoe at my head demanding I start before I procrastinate, as usual." Lani snorted, "It hurt, okay? Anywho, seeing as how I leave Sunday, I wanted to spend the rest of the week and weekend with you." He smiled biting his bottom lip.

Lani looked away from his intimating irises, "What about school?"

"Skip." He shrugged. Lani scoffed, "What? You have a perfect GPA and I doubt missing a week because you're on vacation with your family back in Spain will harm that perfect record." He said confidently.

Lani's smile dropped as she looked at him accusingly, "You called in for me didn't you?"

"Maybe." Lani narrowed her eyes at the boy, beginning to side step him, only for him to pull her back into his chest with her hand that still remained in his own. "Please?" He asked with a frown, his soft brown eyes looked into her emerald ones pleadingly. "I don't want to leave and only get to spend two and a half days with you. I want the week and the weekend." Lani sighed knowing she was going to give in.

Chris smiled searching her face for an answer.

Seeing her lips twitch upwards he smiled brightly.

"It's not Paris, but I'm sure we can make it work." He pulled out two train tickets, "Think of it like, the Hogwarts Express." He smirked seeing her eyes lit up at the two tickets in his hand; London, England. "I also heard they give tours to where they filmed the movies." Lani squealed as she grasped the tickets her eyes scanning the two tickets.

Chris chuckled seeing her happiness radiating off of her, "I'll take that as a yes?"

Lani nodded rapidly looking up at the boy, "Yes!"

He threw his arm around her shoulder dragging her out of the school's courtyard, "Let's go, Lan." He murmured into her dark hair which smelt of vanilla and hazelnut; which he loved. "I love you."

Lani gnawed on her lip as she looked up at the boy, "I love you too."

Chris kissed her temple, pulling away with a bright smile, the two leaving Hartvig Nissen and to his car.
