As of today, Ashton's been gone on tour for a week and is currently in Dublin for his show tonight. Even though he kept his promise of calling every day, it doesn't make it easier. His leaving for tour has really hit me hard this time. I don't know if it's because we just found out we aren't pregnant when we wanted to be or if it's because, since Covid, we've been with each other 24/7 and now aren't.

I've been trying to stay busy. I find it helps a lot. I've cleaned out both of our vehicles. I've reorganized and deep cleaned the house and got some furniture for our back porch.

Today Grace and I are going to hang out. We're going to get our nails done, get some lunch, and do whatever else we decide to do.

As I was getting ready in the bathroom, I could hear my phone ringing from its spot on the bed. I quickly rushed out to get it, seeing my fiancé's contact photo lighting up my screen. I slid my finger across to answer, letting the FaceTime load until Ashton was on the screen,

"Hi honey" he smiled. I could tell he was on the bus from his surrounding,

"Hi babe" I grinned, "I miss you"

"I know honey. I miss you too" he sighed, "But only a week until I see you"

"I know" I smiled softly, "What are you doing?"

"The boys and I are about to go get some food then we gotta get back for soundcheck" he shrugged, "How about you? You look like you're getting all cute"

"Me and Grace are hanging out. We're getting our nails done and getting some lunch" I told him as I propped my phone up so I could finish getting ready,

"Oh lord. No telling what'll happen today then" he joked, but then heard his name get called in the background, "I'm sorry Holls, I gotta go"

"It's okay babe" I assured, "I love you"

"I love you more" Ashton blew a kiss before ending the call. I sighed and let my phone fall, heading back into my bathroom to get ready.

"My nails look like shit" Grace complained as we walked into the nail salon,

"Girl, mine are way overdue to be done" I laughed back. I used to never get my nails done, simply because it could be costly. I always said I wanted to get my nails done. One day Ashton heard me and the next he was handing me his credit card to go get them done- and now every time I'm due to get them done, he gives me his credit card.

Grace and I were taken to stations next to each other and sat down. We picked out our colors- I went with a light red and she went with a blue. The nail ladies got to work and talked amongst themselves while Grace and I relaxed some.

****

After nails, we ended up going back to mine and Ashton's with some take out. Everywhere was crazy packed for some reason.

We ate while sitting on the couch watching The Vampire Diaries and talking,

"Did you and Ash do anything before he left?" Grace asked, "I think Cal and I fucked all day"

I lightly smiled but wasn't truly wanting to talk about before he left, but knowing I may feel better if I do,

"We took a pregnancy test" I spoke, Grace's eyes going wide, "It was negative"

"Oh. T-That's good right?" she asked, not really sure on my feelings,

"I mean we've kinda been trying but also haven't been. We talk about kids all the time and it hurts that the test was negative" I shrugged, "But I am glad I won't be pregnant on our wedding day and I won't be pregnant on tour"

"I didn't know you guys were kinda trying" Grace's smile softened,

"We want it to happen but we aren't having sex with that as the end goal in mine"

Grace nodded,

"I'm sorry" she spoke, "But your all's time will come. Now just wasn't it"

I smiled and looked down then back up,

"But we fucked the whole night before" I smirked, changing the subject,

"Yeah girl" Grace fist-bumped me.

Grace and I are very open about our sex lives to each other. I guess that's what happens when you've been best friends since you were kids,

"I miss Cal already" Grace pouted, "But in a couple of weeks we will be with our guys again"

"And then I'm getting married"
