After everything from the stadium was packed up, the equipment lorry was reloaded, Ian made sure that the tour bus had enough fuel for us to get back home.
Sitting in the lounge part of the bus, I look ahead, thinking of all the tweets that my best-friend, Laura has tweeted, realising that I have let her down was eating me alive inside.
The guilt, was killing me.
My mind would always replay what I said to her, the last time I seen her. The look in her eyes, when I promised what I had promised, and I broke it, 2 years ago.
I can imagine, the look on her face, disappointed and furious. Mostly furious because of what I have done. But, honestly, I can not blame her.
"Hey Ross, you alright?" I blinked my eyes a few times, I suddenly felt warm salty liquid fall on my lips, I open my lips to let the tear fall in, I'm afraid of Ian seeing it. I looked up to find a sympathy look spread all over his face.
"Yeah, of course. Why'd you ask?" I chuckle to lighten the situation. Hoping he'd believe me, unfortunately, Ian is not an easy guy to convince.
"Kid, I saw the tear, you can't hide it" I sighed knowing I failed. I sit up in my seat, placing my elbows on my legs, placing my face on hands. I chuckle a little.
"What's wrong?" I laugh, looking at Ian.
"She might not even look at me, let alone talk to me, I screwed up, big time" I can feel more tears fall, I hurriedly wipe them away with my thumbs. I take my phone out, going through the gallery under the name "Babe & I"
I look at all the pictures, remembering the memories.
*Flashback*
"Ross, what's wrong?" All I could do, was stare into her beauitful face. Her beautiful brown eyes staring into mines.
"Nothing beautiful, I just get lost in your eyes. Your beautiful brown eyes" She looked down blushing, I picked her face up, so she would be looking at me and not the ground.
"Your beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, if I had to dream of the perfect girl, she wouldn't even come close to you" I could see tears in her eyes.
"Laura, will you be my g-girlfriend?" The expression in her eyes, was unbelievable, like she has been waiting for me to ask the question for ages, I was going to ask her earlier, but it just wasn't special enough. I wanted it to be special, for a special girl.
That's when it started raining, we were now soaked, I was still looking into her eyes, the clear smooth rain running down my nose, falling off at the end, some ending in my mouth. I was really scared of what she was going to say, she hasn't answered yet.
"Ross, you know I love you. I always have and always will" I kept my eyes on her own.
"Yeah, of course. I'm the same, no doubt about it" she smiled.
"I'd love to be your girlfriend" I smiled and gently kissed her lips, her lips moving in perfect sync. Melting together, meant to be, and what made it more perfect, we were kissing in the rain, and that's what Laura and I wanted, to have a kiss in the rain, not just that, that's the day I got the girl of my dreams.
*Flashback*
I locked my phone and looked up, to find the bus driving, I didn't even realise we had moved. I grabbed a tissue wiping my nose, because I'm crying from remembering the memories of my girlfriend, I promised her I would come back and I haven't.
I planned on going back home that year, surprise her with me singing to her, and then proposing to her.
I don't blame her if she wouldn't even open the door to me. I deserve it.
I screwed up.
I got and sit down at the front of the bus, strap myself in. I look out the front, watching road dissappear from under us.
"You alright Ross?" I look to my left, Dean, my tour bus driver. I smiled, just a little and nodded, telling him to continue.
"Yeah, just worried" he smiled, kept driving, and then he spoke with the words I hoped were true.
"If she still loves you truly, she'll kill you with a death hug" I chuckle a little, hoping for it to be true.
"God, I hope your right!"
