IS IT LOVE? CTH

You cant leave me...

"Mia we need to talk" Scott said standing up from the sofa.

"I was comfy then!" I said sounding like a moaning toddler.

"Oh come on, you know we need to talk, we an cuddle anytime" Scott said, his facial expression softening as he reached his lean fingers out to brush a stand of hair out of my face. I smiled up at him.

"Alright then, let's get this over and done with" I sighed locking my eyes into his.

"Well as you know me and my band have been asked to support 5 seconds of summer on their UK tour..." Scott started, he then stopped looking down playing with the tassels on the cushion. I grabbed his rough hands in mine and urged him to finish what he wanted to tell me with pleading eyes.

"... And that means I'll be away for about two months and we will have to play most nights and I know it means leaving you but we can't turn down this opportunity Mia..."

I stopped hearing what Scott had to say, my vision went blurry and I felt like I couldn't breath. My bet friend couldn't be taken away from me for that long!

"Mia its only for two months..."

I heard Scott say faintly but I couldn't listen any longer, I felt heavy, my red were tightly shut, I breathed in short quick gasps, I couldn't see or feel, all I felt was numbness.

"Mia don't cry!" Scott said.

I finally opened my eyes to realize I was sobbing my heart out, my cheeks were tear stained, my eyes were swollen and red, I could feel salty tears spilling out of my eyes and running down. Scott pulled me to his chest squeezing me tightly whispering things in my ear and stroking my hair, rocking me side to side soothingly. I breathed in his warm scent of cigarettes and musky aftershave, clinging to him as much as I could.

"You can't leave me" I sobbed in gulps.

"Shhh..." Scott whispered still hugging me.

Eventually when I had stopped crying and I'd got to the stage of sniffing, Scott got up and grabbed the tissue box from the coffee table and handed them to me. I gradually started to wipe away smudged mascara and blowed my nose. Once I had finished Scott pulled me back into our cuddling position as we were a few minutes ago.

"Am I forgiven??" He mumbled.

"No" I sniffed.

He chuckled and started twirling a few strands of my hair around his finger.

"I'll miss you" he said softly.

"Do you have to go?" I whined.

"I'm afraid so, they are a really popular band and if we be their support act we could get popular too. I can't waste this opportunity Mia..." Scott explained.

I know I should encouraging my best friend as this is what he wanted I do in life, but right now I couldn't conjure up the emotions to congratulate him just yet. I hated being selfish about the whole situation but I needed my best friend and I know he needed me too.

"By the way the boys are coming over later, we are leaving tomorrow so they wanted to say goodbye" Scott said.

I sat up and sniffed. Oh shit, I forgot I'd be having to say goodbye to them too, even Calum. I just met them and I'm already saying bye for 2 months.

"Is Olivia coming over?" I suddenly thought shooting up from the sofa panic stricken.

Scott laughed "No she's not, I hinted to Ashton that wouldn't be a good idea"

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go on and sort yourself, I'll put the kettle on" Scott said gesturing his head to my bedroom.
