All that I Want

Gone Wrong.

After a few moments, he sighs, "there's something I have to tell you."
My heart stops at the next words that come out of his mouth.
"After writing the song I did for you, a record label company contacted me - Immersive Records. They had me write a few more songs to create an EP, and they want me to go on a mini tour next week to get my name out there."
"You-you're what?" I falter as I try to take in what he just told me. "Why... why didn't you tell me sooner?"
He sighs and I can see the heartbreak all over his face, "I just... I didn't know how to," he admits.
Maybe just blurt it out?? Tell me before you buy all of this stuff and make it feel less like you were just buttering me up, I want to scream, but I know it's not right on my part.
I sigh and rub the tears out of my eyes before he gets the chance to, "well I guess that's over."
"What?" He says abruptly.
"The beach. Good things are supposed to happen here," I shrug my shoulders, "that's over now."
He hangs his head, "I'm sorry."
I hug Chase's bear to my chest and it says I love you.
"I wanted us to have the bears so when we're apart from each other," he says gently.
I nod sadly, "I wish you would've told me sooner."
"I know," he says gloomily, "I'm sorry."
I close my eyes and let the tears run down my face as I whisper, "how long?"
"Three weeks," his voice cracks.
My eyes fly open, "three weeks??"
A few tears roll down his cheeks as he nods solemnly.
"I... I don't want you to leave me," I whimper. "But this is your dream. You've always wanted to be a musician."
"I don't have to do it, I can back out," he starts.
"No," I shake my head with a small sad smile, "follow your dream."
"You just had to give me something to write about," he says with a small smile.
I nod my head, not looking forward to the three weeks I'm going to have to survive without him.
"I'm sorry, y/n. I really am," he caresses the side of my face gently.
"I know," I say just above a whisper.
He pulls me against his chest as I sob silently, trying to figure out how we're going to survive this long away from each other. We've never left each other since the day we met for longer than a night, what's going to happen when it's for three weeks?
