Highway to Famous

Long distance

As he leaves I'm left in the bedroom looking at the card saddened that I don't get to really spend much time with Pete. I pulled myself out of it and went shopping besides being here with him is better than not being with him and not being able to talk to him at all.

I went to cute little outlet stores and bought matching hoodies, even tho I'd end up stealing his anyways. I bought some dinner so that when he got home we could atleast have one good night together.

"Hey! There's my girl, did you have fun today? My credit card account sure looks like you did." He joked

"I did I bought us matching hoodies because why not? I also bought stuff to make for dinner so we could atleast enjoy one nice meal together." I mentioned

"Yeahhh about that I'm literally not going to be able to get any days off early to spend with you while you're here. I'm so sorry I know you had big plans for us but they want this done as fast as possible." He choked

"No it's fine least I'm here and able to see you, I'm going to take in every moment I can with you, because once I get back home I'm not going to be able to at all unless I stay up or get up certain times to talk to you." I sniffled

"No no don't do that. Don't worry I'm going to try everything I can to make sure I get a whole day with you next month when you come back. I know it sucks I hate I don't get to see you either much, but I'm glad you're here with me and I'm regretting when you have to leave." He assured me

A few days later if was time for me to go back. I tried to keep a brave face knowing I'm about to be solo till I come back next month . As he kissed my forehead and gave me his hoodie for comfort till I got back, I watched him disappear in the distance. Smothering his hoodie in my face as I cried, I wanted to stay so bad but Liz needed to get back to work worse than I needed to be here.

"Hey babe I just got home, have a great day of shooting. I can't wait to be back with you, I hope this month flys by. Try not to miss me so much (haha) I'm going to try to get some sleep before I have to open in a few hours! I love you and can't wait to be back!" I messaged before passing out

A few hours later I had gotten up to get ready for work. A notification came across my phone, rushing to get it I saw "Liz🤪💕" kind of disappointed wishing it was Pete but she had let me know that she had left some breakfast and coffee in the kitchen. A few minutes later while I was eating breakfast my phone goes off again, I kinda brushed it off thinking it was Liz making sure I ate. When I looked down Petes face was on the screen, scrambling to answer it I beamed with excitement.

"Hey honey! God I miss you like crazy this bed seems huge without you in it. I can not wait for you to be back, I actually went out and bought you something just so I could have it and think of you while you are gone. But I'm going to let you finish breakfast and I'm going to try and nap before I have to go back. Have a great day at work I'll talk to you when I can, and when I wake up I'll make sure to FaceTime you before you go to bed. I love you and go crush it today." He noted

I left for work and I can't focus on anything but Pete and how bad I wanted to be back there with him. Every time my phone goes off I'm grabbing it thinking I'm going to miss him or something. Hours go by and still nothing.

"Look there's a time difference between us and Australia he's still asleep, why don't we go out and do something tonight after work. Keep your mind occupied while he's asleep, you can't keep doing this or you'll end up depressed and y'all will break up. You have to make this long distance work, I really don't want y'all to break up even tho I don't think he's good enough for you. Let's go out to a nice restaurant eat some dinner take a stroll across the pier and just talk." Liz lectured

The night went on I tried to have a good time but I just couldn't stop thinking of when he was going to call, this has been the longest day ever and it's only day one of being away from him.

I had just changed and gotten ready to lay in bed and watch some television, my phone starts blowing up then a FaceTime came through. Trying to hold my composure I answered, seemed like I wasn't the only one who missed the other. Still half asleep yet radiating with exhilaration, he rolled out of bed got ready and grabbed a bite before he had to take off.

He asked me how my day was and what all I did, I kept it short I didn't care I was more into his plans for the day. I think he could sense I was miserable being home and not with him, but he refused to ask so I made it seem as if I was good being home away from him.

"3 more weeks and you'll be back here, I can't wait I have the biggest surprise for you when you get back." He mentioned

Not wanting to hang up, he gets to the place where he was filming. My attitude changed and I turned selfish that they we're getting more time with him than I have. Part of me wanted to call it quits the other part looked and admired the ring on my finger, as I thought about how I said yes to forever with him and that even meant being long distance. I wasn't sure if I was really ready for all of this, as my thoughts started to jumble together calling things off began to outweigh sticking through this.
