Dear my closest friend

Life on the road

John was now 24 years old and Micah was 23. They had known each other 19 years of their lives now and had been dating for nearly 7 years. Micah had quit her job at the coffee shop and had started working for The Maine as a full time merch girl. She also helped out with simple little things and did food runs for them but she was almost always on the road and touring with John. There was only one time she couldn't go with him which was when she had to stay and help her mother out. Megan had became very ill and Micah refused to leave her side even if it meant that she had to be away from John for a few months. They talked over the phone every night and face-timed as often as they could.

Everything was better now and they were about to hit the road for another tour this time Micah would be with them. It was strange but enjoyable. The guys always danced around and partied. Sure they were all handsome but they were all huge nerds and goof balls. Especially John. He was the biggest dork that Micah had ever met. He had this weird sense of humor and he was just fun to be around. Everyone loved him. But she knew he struggled from time to time with a reason to belong. John only let Micah in on everything, not just because she was his significant other but because he could put all of his trust in her and he knew she would not betray it. There had been many times that Micah found John crying in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Sometimes he struggled with seeing a reason for doing anything but Micah always reminded him and was there to hold him and lift him up. He had a hard time with feeling like he belonged and he sometimes felt as if he had too much pressure on him to be perfect for his parents and Micah. She would just always remind him of how much self worth he had and how he was already perfect despite his flaws.

John's POV

We were a week into the tour, I think we were in Baltimore right now I was not really sure. This tour was all over the place and the dates were all scattered all about. It was morning and I had just opened my eyes a few minutes ago. I woke up a little more and looked down which caused a wide smile to spread across my lips. Micah was sleeping on top of me like usual. The two of us shared a bunk even though it was small, we did not mind being cramped up and having to share. We fell asleep cuddling and cuddled in our sleep anyway so it was not a big deal. Her face was laying against my bare chest, I usually only slept in a pair of boxers where as she slept in one of my shirts and a pair of panties.
I reached down and started playing with her long hair, her hair had shifted color over the years it was now nearly all brown. It was a mix of blonde and brown but more brown than anything. It was hard to describe. But she was still beautiful. She was the most beautiful girl in the world. I started placing soft kisses to her forehead and kept twirling my long slender fingers through her hair. I hummed sweetly and smiled down at her when her eyes opened. We stayed like this for a good hour. Just enjoying each other's compony while waking up together fully. Just silence and peaceful happiness.

Once we were up and at a stop she ran off to get us all food. It was something she always did for us. She would go find us breakfast, lunch and dinner along with snacks. She came back with breakfast from McDonald's, simple but it worked. We would hang around on the bus and have little random dance parties and we would hang out with the fans at venues as much as we could. Micah always hung out with them and would talk to kids at the merch table. They were all supportive of her. They all knew that we were together so sometimes she got shit but hardly ever. I had brought her up on stage a few times for her to sing a song or two with me. That's how life was for us. We were always on the road and on the go. This was a good life and an even better one because of her.
