24. Strong for me

Lucy's POV

I woke up to an empty bed and instantly pouted due to not feeling his arms around me anymore, but then I remembered last nights events.

After our picnic, Calum wanted to give me a tour of their LA home. The boys have yet to see it so it made me feel special that I got to see their home before they did.

It was huge and the interior was so nicely done. They have a pool and a recording studio in their backyard.

I enjoyed watching the pure excitement on Calum's face as he talked about all the adventures him and the boys will be doing out here.

The best part of last night was when he brought me into their recording studio and played me and song of theirs on his guitar.

He played a song called 'Beside You' and told me that he wrote this song when he found out I was moving to LA. I will admit, a few tears did stream down my face but I quickly covered them up, not wanting to worry the talented boy singing in front of me.

The lyrics were so true and I hadn't even thought about how he felt when I left. I was occupied with my own life and the thoughts that he was just busy on tour to think about how sad and heartbroken the two of us truly felt.

They also corresponded with Luke and Victoria's relationship. She was left alone in Sydney while Luke was in a different city every night.

I stretched and rolled out of bed to go see what my aunt was up to downstairs.

She noticed my groggy presence and laughed. "Oh honey welcome to my life."

Famous actress, model, worldwide known superstar.

I might not know now but believe me I will soon.

"So we're taking the boyfriend to the airport today, correct?" She said as she pushed a plate of waffles towards me.

"Yeah." I said sadly, picking at my food.

"Don't be sad. Women don't need a man to be happy." She said crossing her arms over her chest.

"I know, but I'm just gonna miss him so much." I pouted. My hand was on my cheek as my elbow was on the table to allow my hand to be propped up against it.

She sighed and walked up to me, giving me a kiss on the cheek, "You'll be okay." She walked past me and went up the stairs, her robe with feathers on the bottom flowed behind her.

I barely ate my food. My aunt knew about the contract I signed since she signed the same one at my age.

They needed me to be a certain weight and eating would not help me maintain the weight I need to be according to the contract.

I ate one bite of my waffle and made a smoothie before going upstairs to get ready.

"Please don't go." I said sorrowfully, clutching onto Calum for dear life.

"It's gonna be okay. It's only three months." He said running his fingers through my hair.

"I could barely survive one month without you." I pulled away from my embrace around him to look into his eyes.

"You need to be strong for me Lucy." He had no idea exactly what I was going through but he still knew that something was going on.
