Words count : 2,1k

Lately you've been needing for a little space. You're a person who hates big crowds but with the years and the popularity of your boyfriend you got used to it.
However lately you've been harassed publicly by a big crowd when passing by with the group. So you and Ethan made the fair decision of not going in public together and leaving you some times off this paparazzi thing. You were doing better now that you wear away from social media and all the toxic comments you could get.

But now that Ethan was on tour you were completely alone and vulnerable to any bad comments while going out in the street. At first it began with insults then comments about your relationship with Ethan. And soon it ended with threats and following you home.

You did not say anything to Ethan not wanting to worry him. Especially that he would go quite overwhelmed since he was not with you. So you bottled it in. You got away when people started calling for your name, you did not take any more photos with some fans and you completely disappeared from social media.

Your boyfriend never realized that because he thought you were getting a better relation with médias since he was becoming more and more famous and it was reverberating on you.

One day you got scared because he almost found out. There was a published video on the internet of you avoiding fans and being publicly harassed by some paparazzi. Luckily none of the group members saw on Instagram. With time some friends of yours got aware of it and they did not allow you to go out alone. Always someone accompanying you. But date never made the feeling of uncertainty go away.

It got to a point where you woul lock yourself in your house and make a little nook. It was a secret place behind the library shelf that you discovered during lockdown. You wanted to tell Ethan but you always forgot and never got the chance to actually tell him. So you were the only one aware of that place. Sometimes you would disappear for hours in this place without anyone noticing or without even telling anyone.

It was your safe space whenever your boyfriend wasn't around.

After months of waiting and video calls. He was finally coming back to Rome. You were so excited about it and obviously so were some of his fans. Some people got word that the band was coming back that special day. So you could expect a crowd in front of the airport. That simple thought got you anxious, even if you were going to be accompanied by Damiano's father. The night before picking him up from the airport, you got a very very bad panic attack after ending a call with him.

When you woke up you were paralyzed your bed. Paralyzed by the fear of going in a crowd, paralyzed by the fear of hearing some things you did not want to hear, paralyzed by him hearing them. It took you a moment before finally being able to get up. You got dressed like you wouldn't normally, in order to avoid any comments on it. You hid your body and your shapes under a sweater but still wore jeans to be casual. You would normally tie your hair, but you let them down so that it could hide your face. You wore one of Ethan's caps and got outside, knowing Damiano's father was waiting for you in his car.

He greeted you but quickly noticed your unusual state. He took it as if you were nervous of finally seeing your boyfriend back. Which you were, which were all sooner this of what would happen when going through the crowd. You got there an hour early so there wouldn't be any issues with fans.

It was a long hour of waiting, but it was worth it.
As you wait at the arrivals gate, you feel a sense of excitement and anticipation wash over you. You hear the announcement for their flight.
You finally see him come down the aisle, you feel a sense of love and tenderness filling tour chest.

As you watch Ethan walk through the terminal, you tear up a little. You know that you've been apart for months, and you can't wait to see them again. You've missed him dearly, and you know that this moment will be special.
