Define love. || Young Leonardo Dicaprio

Chapter 51

McKennas POV

*bzzz bzzz bzzz*

I felt my phone vibrate while on stage at a festival. If I wasn't out in the open and performing right now i'd answer. It's been about 1year since the golden globes now. I've seen Leo what? Twice? No where near enough than we should've. Once on my bday and the other on his. I've been slaving away with tours, interviews, song writing you name it, he'd been busy with interviews, premieres and filming we just didn't have the time for each other.

Once my set was over I ran off stage being engulfed in hugs from my backstage crew and Neale

"You've done it again Kenna, you always do" he exclaimed. I found myself walking back to my trailer by myself. I felt incredibly lonely at times like this. Britney and I are super close now but she's been busy herself. Kate's a billion miles away and busy filming, same as Tobey.

*ring ring ring* my phone went off again. I brought my phone out of my pocket to see Leo's contact on the screen

"Hey babe" I hear him blankly greet. I sighed

"Heya, sorry I-"

"Busy again? Sorry I couldn't answer you're call the other day I've been flat out with filming" I nodded. I knew he couldn't see me but there wasn't much to say. The phone call always consisted in apologies and catching up but that was it. We were growing distant. We went from calling each other every night to calling each other 3x a week maybe 4 if we were lucky. The spark was gone, I hated to say that but it was out of our control

"So will you be back in LA for thanksgiving?" I found myself asking to move the conversation along

"Yeah actually we're wrapping up on the filming by the end of the week so I'll be back home next week...and you?"

"Oh really" I said with a little excitement. I was expecting him to say no as per usual "I'm actually flying back in 3 days. I can come pick you up if you like?" I suggested

"Oh that's ok Tobey's coming to pick me up and I think we're heading straight out, we haven't seen each other for more than a year" I hear him chuckle

"Oh" is all I managed to say whilst frowning

"You can come along if you like? But I didn't think you'd be interested with hanging with a group of guys"

"No no that's ok, I'll see you when you get home or something" I forced myself to sound a little more enthusiastic at the situation but it was hard. I let out a big breath

"Well I better get going, I've just finished my set at this festival"

"Yeah you go get some rest babe, bye I love you" I hear him say but then started laughing and playing around with some man in the background, before I could respond he hung up

"I love you too" I mumbled and rolled my eyes

A week has gone past by now and I was currently in my room back in LA.

"So are you excited to see him? He flies in tomorrow night right?" Britney said whilst doing her own pedicure. She was in LA at the moment for a show and interviews so she was currently staying at mine until she had to leave

"Yeah I suppose so" I frowned, finishing up on filing my nails

"You don't seem excited?" Britney paused and looked up. I paused aswell and looked at her. Her cheeky smile disappearing when she met with my frown

"I don't know I feel like things are different"

"How so?" She brought up her legs and crossed them as she closed up the nail polish. This is what I loved about her she was just such a good listener
