A Favor for a Friend

"I like that one." I said leaning forward towards the screen of the laptop.

"Brentmoor?" He said clicking the link to the website.

I nodded in reply. The apartments were nothing special. They were average. That is all I needed though. Plus it was only about ten minutes from the University of Pittsburgh. The complex was right outside of Pittsburg in Monroeville. It wasn't quite as busy as the city. It was perfect for me.

"It seems nice." He nodded. "I wish you would let me help you pay though. There are some places close to me and Jussi that are beautiful."

"I can't take your money." I shook my head.

"But you wouldn't be taking it, I would be giving it to you." He said with a little smile.

"You know what I mean." I rolled my eyes.

"I just wish you were closer." He sighed with a frown.

"I will come over every time I can." I said reassuringly.

"You better." He said elbowing me teasingly.

"Are you going to be ok with me being gone for a while until I get my classes straightened out and I can move my things down?" I said.

"Sure..... are you tired?" He said with a little smile.

"No, not really." I shook my head.

"Lets start your packing." He said closing his laptop.

"I live five hours away!" I said surprised.

"I can drive. With my driving we can be there in three hours." He said getting up.

"I can't believe you want to do this." I said getting off the bed and stretching.

"We can be back by morning when I have to leave." He said throwing his hoodie on.

"On one condition. I get to bring this with me." I said grabbing one of his other hoodies from his suitcase. "I want to use it as a pillow."

"Deal." He chuckled. "Let your brother know so he doesn't think you are dead."

"Good idea." I said pulling out my phone and sent him a quick text.

We walked out to my car. I handed him my keys and got into the passenger side. I was starting to get tired now. I yawned a bit and buckled my seatbelt.

"Can you give me the address before you fall asleep?" He said teasingly and handed me his phone with the GPS pulled up. I typed in the address and hit start. It was a little bit before eleven now. We would have to really move it. I handed him back the phone after that.

"OK, good night." He said and gave me a soft smile.

"Night..." I said and put Olli's hoodie between the window and myself. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Olli's POV

I glanced over at Aliyah as she slept. She looked adorable. A small smile spread across my face. I couldn't believe she was finally mine. It seemed like years rather than a month. I feel like I have known her forever. Thankfully she could now move to Pennsylvania. I didn't tell her but most of the colleges rejected her. Most of them weren't from grades but the ill timing. I just hope she doesn't regret her decision. I don't know how I would be able to go on if I lost her.

The first half of the trip went by extremely quick. Considering I was the only person on the highway, I could go as fast as I wanted to. I kept it within reason though. It took two hours to get half way there.

The next half was a bit longer but I didn't mind. Just having Aliyah in the car with me made the trip less painful. I pulled into her driveway and turned the car off.

I leaned over and rubbed her shoulder softly. "Aliyah, wake up." I said softly.

She turned her head towards me, "Are we there?" She said in a sleepy voice.

"Yep." I said and opened the car door. I ran around to the other side and opened the door for her.

"Thanks." She said rubbing her eyes as she stood up. I looked at the house for a moment. I was actually excited to see her house. I don't know why. I just was. We walked inside and took off our shoes.

Aliyah's POV

"My room is kind of a mess. Just a warning." I yawned.

"It's no problem." He shrugged.

We walked up the stairs and to my room.

"Lets start packing." I smiled.
