Life on Tour (3) [Discontinued]

Chapter 1: Letter

*AUTHOR'S NOTE* Hey, so this is the third and final part in the series that I'm doing. If you're new here check out my stories 'Meeting Travis' and 'Spring Break' a bunch of stuff in this chapter is references to those two. But yeah, just before I started writing this I saw the number of reads on the other two and had a "HOLY SHIT!" moment haha. You guys are awesome. I hope that you like this one as much as the other two! I love you guys! <3 And so, here we go, part three, 'Summer Tour!!'

It's a week after you got home from your week in Bradenton and you just got home from school and had checked the mail. As you make your way into your kitchen you're looking through all the mail, bill, bill, junk, coupons, bill, letter....to you?...from Travis??!! You throw all the other mail on the counter and run up to your room with the letter. You shut the door and hop onto your bed before opening the envelope. Once it's open you pull out the letter and with it a photo comes out too. You pick up the photo and look at it and laugh, it's from when you, Danny, Charles and Travis went to the aquarium. Slowly you slide it to the side and pick up the letter. It's written on a sheet of paper from his notebook. You unfold it and start reading. It says:

4/2/____

Dear*your name*,

I'm really not sure if I'm actually going to send this...but I probably will, just not right now, especially since you're right here right now, haha. Anyway, right now you're asleep with your head resting on my leg on the couch and you're looking really, really cute, just like you always do. I'm really worried about you, I know you'd probably tell me not to be, but I can't help it, it's just, that nightmare, and today this, I don't know what time you woke up or what time it was when this happened, and I know you don't know when it happened either, so I don't know how long you were like that before Danny and I got home, and it's really scary to me I guess. And I....I think I may...love you. And I don't just mean the quick, I love you, that you get when a relationship is just starting out because it seems like the thing to do. I mean like, the forever kind...I'm not sure though, which is kinda why I'm not sure if I'm going to send this...I want to be sure I mean it. I just care about you a lot, and I don't want to hurt you. Anyway, I can't wait till June and I hope that the days between now and then fly by so we can be together again.

Love, Trav

4/6/____

Hey love,

So, I tried to go to sleep right after I texted you back, but I just can't, my bed just feels empty right now, I even brought all my stuffed animals in the bed and it's not working, so I thought I'd add to the letter, so I guess I might actually send this. Uh, but yeah, about the whole college situation, basically what I said in the text, just do what you feel is right for you, talk to your parents about it, don't just take what I said, talk to other people too, and just know I'll support whichever decision you make. Dinner tonight was really quiet, Sam tried to make conversation, but it...I just.....y'know. I'm thinking that I do mean what I wrote in the part above this. I've never felt this way about anyone before, and being away from you, I just feel like I'm about to explode. I can't wait to see you again. I love you so much, and if there's ever a day when you're feeling a little not strong, or you're just sad, come back and read this and think about how much I love you.

Love, Trav

PS, Do you like the picture? I got three copies of it, I gave one to Charles, and you probably saw the one on the fridge while you were here. Anyway, see you in June! :)   

When you finished the letter you felt the tears rolling down your cheeks and nose and gently set the letter to the side and looked at the picture again. You smile at the huge grins on everyone's faces and giggle when you think about the look of shock on your face when Travis had scooped your legs out from under you when he picked you up like that. Fortunately, the person taking the picture had given you a moment to compose yourself before he took the picture, so you were smiling like everyone else.

You go down the hall and get a piece of blue cardstock and cut it out so it's a little larger than the photo, take out a gluestick and put the picture on the cardstock and then put it on the corkboard on your wall, where you can see it from anywhere in your room.

You pick up your phone and call Travis. The second you hear his voice you wish you could reach through the phone line and  hug him, it wasn't anything about the tone of his voice, his voice was normal, other than the difference because of the phone. Just hearing his voice made you miss him and that's why you wish you could hug him. You both end up talking for about an hour, until he has to leave to help Danny with something. As you were ending the call you were trying to drag out the call a little, and so was Travis. When you do hang up your iPod starts ringing. So you reach over and look at it, your friend Sarah is trying to FaceTime you. So you answer and you both talk for a while. While you had been at Travis and Danny's house you and Sam had Skyped Sarah with Danny and Travis nearby and told her that you both were dating them and she had believed you and gotten to talk to them and she had understood that none of you wanted her to tell anyone yet, that you were just telling people you were close to for now. But she still COULDN'T believe it, as she said while you were talking. You talk about random things for a few hours, at some point you showed her the picture, but not the letter. At sometime your dad poked his head in and said hi. Not long after that, you remember that you had homework for one of the classes that you actually need in order to graduate. So you say good bye to Sarah and start to work on it.
