Save me from myself

All Good Things Come To An End

They put the plans in place and Ronnie talked with the driver to where and when they wanted to go and stay. He made the reservations while he was overly excited. After observing him for a while she could see it was just a facade. She had seen it before- overly loud and energized, excessively talking all kind of nonsense. It's like his brain went to overdrive, not to feel things, ignoring things. She could only imagine what was going on in his mind. He tried to be louder and happier than his thoughts. He tried to outyell his thoughts.

She could see it at that night on the gig. This kind of behaviour usually gets him neck deep in shit, she thought worried. But fans loved the show he gave them, fun and wild, all over the place.

After the show they set on the road, chilling on the livingroom area. Willow was asleep already and they sat around the table, talking, exchanging moments from the show. She rested her head on his elbow, listening them talk. She loved being close to him, feeling safe, his voice she could listen forever, his body scent, his breathing, they way he reacted on certain moments. So mesmerizing.

"Looks like she's out." Nick said looking at Sam.

Ronnie tried to look her on his shoulder and smiled to the view.

"Yeah." he said smiling to the view and held her tighter. They talked for some time and then he woke her tickling her lips with his finger. She licked them once and was up, looking confused.

"Lets go to sleep." he said quiet.

"Lets." she said looking at him with dreamy eyes.

"Nighty-night." Ronnie stood up, placing his hands on her hips and walked them into their sleeping area, his chest against her back, arms wrapped around her. He closed the door behind them and when she took a step closer to the bed to admire Willow, he pulled her back against him. They stood there, looking at their daughter.

"She's so precious." she finally said, completely mesmerized.

"Sometimes I still can't believe that we did this." Ronnie said "You and me."

"Yeah." she rolled her eyes "On the roof." making him chuckle.

"Changed everything." Ronnie said in thoughts. Sam nodded, yawning.

"Lets get some sleep." he said "Tomorrow's a busy day." 

Next morning Willow was first to be up, tracing the outlines of Ronnie's face. He shifted and mumbled for a moment and then opened his eyes "Hi, princess." and looked at Sam sleeping on his chest. He enjoyed the moment, watching Willow playing with her stuffed animal. As she was getting more restless, he said "Lets wake mommy up." Willow pointed her tiny finger on Sam and poked her with it.

"Give mommy a kiss." he said quiet. Willow leaned closer to Sam and pecked a kiss on her cheek. Ronnie brushed his fingers over her jawline and hair, making her shift from the tickling feeling. She opened her eyes and smiled when she realized she was laying on his chest. He had seen this smile before. He himself had smiled like this. The most sincere sign of being content.

"Morning." she turned on her stomach, her chin on his chest, looking at Ronnie.

"Hey, yourself." he said smirking, his hands brushing her hair on the side. Willow made a loud noise, pulling their attention to her.

"Good morning to you, too." Sam said leaning closer to Willow and pecked a kiss on her forehead "My sweet baby."
Ronnie took his phone from the side pocked of the bed and looked at the time "Fuck, I need to get up."
"No...." she whined "We just woke up."
"I know baby, but I need to hit the gym." he said giving her a kiss "I promise, we'll have breakfast after that." She nodded, moping and turned on the side, off from him.

"You stay in bed, it's early." he said sitting up and took his workout clothes. He was in a hurry and was gone in moments. She sighed and laid on her back, letting Willow climb on her.

By the time he got back, Sam and Willow were up and she was feeding her some yoghurt "Daddy's back."

"Here." he said placing coffees on the table.

"Yess. The liquid of life!" she said and took hers, taking few gulps.

After getting ready they went to a breakfast and planned their day in the new location. They spend their day going around the city, enjoying each others company and good food. At some point they took their stuff to the hotel the planned to stay. He left her there to go to the sound check. She took a shower and packed hers and Willows luggage while Willow was taking a nap.

Before the gig they all went to dinner. Their last night together. 

On the night show she and Willow were on the backstage, looking him singing from the side. Although she was happy and excited, she was hit with waves of sadness and anxiety. Same time tomorrow we're home, without him, she thought and sighed.

 After the show and vip pictures, they were free. Willow was tired so they went to the hotel as soon as possible. Others chilled at the hotel restaurant for a while.

"Maybe you would have wanted to join them?" she said hesitant.

"No. I wanna spend my time with you." he purred to her, his hands on her hips, pulling her closer, looking Willow sitting on the bed.

"I need to but her to sleep before it's too late." she said and added smirking "And then I'm all yours."

"Let me." he said pulling away and went to take Willows diaper bag "You go and order something from the room service." 

"Okay." she said surprised by him wanting to be on daddy duty. But it was understandable, they're gonna be apart for few weeks. He wanted to make the best of it.

After she had ordered some refreshments and snacks from the room service, she texted her mother the details about her arrival so she could pick them up. Suddenly she felt hands snaking around her and his breath in her neck "She was fast asleep." he whispered and pecked a kiss on her neck. She turned around, backing on the bed, kissing him.

"I've missed this." he whispered. She knew he meant their intimacy, the life on the bus was crowded and them being all over each other would have been unfair to others. Now they had the freedom to do what their hearts desired. 

In the morning they got up and got ready. Ronnie fetched them coffees while she got her and Willow ready. Soon they were all checking out and saying goodbyes to Sam and Willow. While waiting the airport taxi, they stood close to each other, Willow between them, telling things to each other, nodding in agreement, him brushing Willows head and pecking kisses to her cheek and forehead. Sam was on the verge of crying, looking him through a watery vision.

"Don't cry baby, you're breaking my heart." he pleaded. She nodded taking a deep breath.

When the taxi came, he helped to drag the luggage to the car and said his final goodbye to them.
