This morning felt different. Phil sat up on the bed, putting on a new pair of shorts and a t-shirt and making me skeptical as to what he was going to do being up earlier than usual on a day we have off.

"Are you going somewhere?' I asked, catching his attention.

"Oh, no baby. Why?"

"Your just up earlier then usual on our day off, I was hoping to sleep in together?" I said making him smile and lean over to kiss me.

"Okay, I'll stay. I was just wanting to go check out shops and shop around for...someone" Phil smirked, pulling his shorts and shirt back off.

"Who's someone?!" I asked watching him slide in next to me and raise his brows up and down at me.

"Me?" I asked surprised.

"Who else?" Phil exclaimed laughing at my reaction.

"Your second girlfriend" I said joked, making Phil roll his eyes.

"Never" he looked me in the eyes watching as my grinned upturned more.

"Good" I said resting my head on his chest. His arm wrapped around me and his hand reached to mine, grabbing it and examining.

"That riff you gave Dime, it's got potential for an upcoming album, I mean if we really hit this tour off who knows what the future will bring us" he said looking down at me.

"Mhm...the future" I said, reminding myself that I still didn't know what would happen when the tour was concluded.

"Is something wrong?" He asked.

"The future is just starting to sound scary for me...well for us. Where do I go after tour? Back to New York alone like always? I'm tired of being alone all the time, but I don't want to intrude in on your life" I explained.

"I don't know what will happen...but that doesn't mean we give up right? Live in the moment, for right now don't stress about later" He explained.

"But I do Phil"

Phil's Pov

I woke up fairly cold, seeing as a part of my blanket was off and the other half of the bed was empty. I checked the time and noticed it was really late. Why would Denny be gone this late? It was our night off and everyone was sleeping mostly today.

I stood up and decided to wander around the hotel trying to find her but there was no sign of anyone.

"Rex!" I yelled seeing him walk down the hallway.

"What?" He asked turning around and stopping. I rushed over to him and with a breath I replied.

"You know where Denny is?" I asked.

"No man, check the lobby maybe" he said. I nodded began to walk to the lobby, still there was nothing.

I began to worry now that she was disappointed with how the way our conversation before ended, maybe deciding she would just pick ip and leave.
