"What time does your flight leave again?"

Calum paused in his place at the dresser before pulling his arm up to check his watch, "Uh..I believe it's 12:30."

"And what time is it now?"

He narrowed his eyes at you with a smile, "It's 9:18 but you know we have to get there early."

"Yeah...but I really wish you didn't have to go." You said with a sigh.

You were currently laid across your bed on your stomach watching Calum pack his suitcases and get ready to leave for tour.
Because most of his wardrobe was already packed and with the stylist he really didn't have to pack that much other than what he wanted to wear when he had a day off here and there.
That and obviously his shoes, toiletries, etc.

"Well touring kind of has to come with the job babe." Calum laughed as he continued to stuff things into his second suitcase.

You rolled over so that your head was hanging off the bed but you were still able to look up at him, "I know that...I just...well you know what I mean."

He paused his hands and looked down at you with a frown, "I know. I wish you would come with me."

The blood was already rushing to your head so you rolled back over to sit up and look at him head on, "I wish I could. It's just with the "Deck the Halls" show planning in full swing, and Ivy already going with you guys I feel like someone needs to stay on American soil to deal with the meetings and everything..."

He sat down next to you with a nod, "No I know. It just sucks. I hate leaving you two alone for this long." He said as he gave Duke, who was curled up next to you, a scratch on the head.

"We won't be. We've got Jayde. Plus I'll probably go see the guys in Nashville while you're gone to get away from our empty house...maybe even go home for a week...I don't know. But I'm not worried about that. I'm just going to miss you." You said as a few tears started to roll down your cheeks.

He furrowed his brows and sat down next to you on the before, pulling you into his side, "Hey what's wrong? We do this all the time, we've actually gotten it down to a science" he laughed, "Is something else is on your mind?"

It hadn't even been 24 hours since your "kiss" with Jake but it had pretty much been the only thing on your mind.

You had tried your best to act like your normal self not only for your own sanity, but because you knew Calum was leaving today.
The whole honesty thing between the two of you was thrown right out the window when it came to what happened the night before.
I mean come on you couldn't exactly tell him that you made out with your ex the day he leaves for tour.
No that would ruin it for him and he wouldn't give the fans a show they deserved.
But more than that, you also knew how much it would hurt him.
The overwhelming guilt you had even just by looking at him made you want to jump head first off a cliff.

You wiped the tears from your cheeks and shook your head, "N-no nothings wrong. I'm just going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too. I always do." He replied as he kissed the top of your head, "And this technically isn't even that of a long tour compared to others we've been through. Just two months and I'll be home."
