Author note
Hey how is everyone doing. I apologize for being inactive. I have a lot going on right now and this is not my top priority. I plan on completing this book up within the next couple chapters.

"Shit, Shit, Shit. What time is it?"

Groaning I open my eyes.

"Come back to bed." I say.

"No, I'm so late for work." She says frantically, causing me to frown.

"Hey, look at me." she say's cupping my face with one hand as the other hold her discarded clothes.

"Don't give me that face. I'll be back in a couple day." She says smiling before leaning down and giving me a quick kiss.

Involuntarily my eyes pool with water. I hold back my tears as they begin to burn.

"Babe, what is it?" She says with confusion and concern.

"Listen, I need to tell you something." I say sitting up.

"You can tell me anything." She says now with more concern.

Knowing there is no point in poking around the bush I decide it's better to spit it out.

"I leave for tour tomorrow." I say looking down.

"What," She says more in stock.

"I though we so had time... you weren't supposed to leave... we were supposed to have time." She start to spiral.

"Hey," in an attempts calm her I place my hand on her thigh.

"Things were pushed up due to schedule conflicts. I only found out yesterday." I say sighing.

"Besides, you have a 2 week break coming up in a month. So after you visit your family I could fly you out to wherever I am. Or I could fly to you for a couple days. We will figure it out."

"Yeah, but" she pauses.

"But what?" I encourage.

"When were you planning on telling me?" She questions becoming angry.

"Today," I stammer.

She looks like she is going to say something but stops herself as her eyes slowly start to fill with water.

"Hey," I say pulling her into a hug.

"We'll figure it out."

Time skip

I've been feeling super empty these last couple of days. It's only been 3 days 9 hours and 31 min since I last saw Kaylee. To be honest this is a foreign feeling too me. To actually have someone important enough in my life too miss.

"Alex,"

I finish typing out my text to Kaylee before I look up at Stacy.

"Yeah," I holler back.

"They're ready for you in sound check."

Begrudgingly I get up from my seat.

"On my way." I say.

I've been trying my best to keep busy in order to stay distracted. It's so hard when all I want to do is see Kaylee. From talking to each other evert second of every day to only being able to send 1 or 2 texts to each other. Not only that but I hate texting. I miss her voice and laugh and her cute little expressions. We only have to get through the next week or so.

Kaylee POV
"Quite on set." The scene director orders snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hey you ok?" Aria asks me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I force out. It's clear he doesn't believe me but I'm glad he decides not to push the subject anymore. Making it through that scene was a real struggle. Messing up my lines or moments every other scene. Its like I can't even focus. My thoughts are filled with doubt in this new relationship. What if she finds someone else or falls for someone else. I'm not good enough. It's also really hard bc with her hectic schedule and my odd hour schedule we aren't even able to really talk like we use to. Maybe it's for the better. This whole situation is setting us up for failure. Besides it's not like we've known each other very long.

I just miss her. She always made me laugh and smile. I loved the way I was able to make her blush the way she would dart had eyes as her cheeks turned red. I even miss her dumb little smirk.
Ugh, this is pathetic. Why am I such a fuckin simp. We shouldn't have even be a thing to begin with. She is Fuckin Alex Rivers and well I'm me. We knew this wasn't going to last long anyways. In some aspects it was inevitable. I guess this is what I get for not listening to instinct.

The day seems to drag on slowly. Not only that but I have to do a kissing scene. I mean it's not horrible, all things considered but it's never fun.
Not only do you have to kiss someone you don't want to kiss but you have to do it in front of a group of people over and over again.

Sitting in hair and make-up I zone out in an attempt to escape the pain I'm feeling right now. I feel as if Im missing a piece of myself  that should be here but isn't. We can do this. I can do this I tell myself over and over again in my head. Sooner or later I have to believe it.... Right.

Hearing my name snaps me out of my head.

"Yeah," I say scanning my eyes around the room in the mirror reflection before laying my eyes on Daniel.

"You doing ok?" She asks

"Yeah, I'm fine." I say

"You just seem a little distracted." She continues.

"Honestly not doing great but not in the mood to talk."

"Fair enough." She say as her mind begins to twist. After a couple minutes of silent she continues.

"Let go out tonight. Me, you, and Quincy. We'll go clubbing and bar hoping."

"Uh, I don't know." Before I can turn down her offer so cuts me off.

"This wasn't a suggestion. I'll pick you up at 8." She says giving me a wink before she walks away.

Great, what have I gotten myself into? I think.
