LEAH'S P.O.V

We were 3 days into the trip and every day was like a dream come true. It was better than I had imagined. I was completely in awe with Sammy and Hawaii because, both of them are too beautiful. But it all came crumbling down on the fourth day. I awoke to cold sheets and an empty bed all alone. I stretched and got up and looked in the mirror before brushing my teeth and turning on the shower. I found a note Sammy left on the night stand.

Hey babe, had to go out today, ill be back later this afternoon. Love you and don't have too much fun without me.

I was disappointed but I didn't let it ruin my day. I carried on with getting ready and did a little of my make up but not much because I was planning on swimming. After I slipped on a crop top and shorts over my bikini I took the elevator down and left the hotel and walked the board walk. It was all just too pretty. It was so relaxing and was definitely helping calm my nerves. If I could stay here for the rest of my life I would. Just Sammy and I surfing the Hawaiian waves. I found a good spot on the beach to settle down and just laid in the sun all day. I ended up falling asleep and when I awoke it was 4:00 and Sammy was no where to be found. I went swimming and then grabbed a burger to eat and then went back to the hotel room to find it just as I left it with no trace of Sammy. I texted and called him but I had no luck getting in touch with him. I went for a walk along the shore and then walked along the board walk and looked in stores. It was finally 7:00 and my phone rang and it was Sammy.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey babe!" Sammy said.

"Where have you been?" I asked.

"Just around.." His voice trailed off.

"Okay..." I said.

"Ill be home in 10, cant wait to see your pretty face." He said.

"Okay, bye." I said clearly upset and quickly hung up.

I didn't let it bother me that much and figured if it was that important he would tell me later. Tomorrow is a new day and we can do things together. We spent the rest of the night watching movies and I fell asleep in his arms.

But the next day was just a repeat of yesterday and so was the day after that. I was becoming angry spending all this time alone in paradise when this entire trip was planned for the two of us. When he got home on our 7th day in Hawaii I was furious.

"Sammy, where the hell have you been? This trip was supposed to be a get away for both of us but lately its just been me. I'm sick and tired of being alone on a beach." I said.

"I've been at the studio..." He said shyly.

"The studio? You mean making music?" I asked.

"Yeah me and my friend Kenny, he produces music here sometimes and so I have been meeting up with him and recording some music.." He said.

"And why didn't you tell me? I thought you were off having sex with some other girl or something!" I said.

He chuckled "i would never. And I thought you might not want to be with a guy who makes music.. I don't know."

"Sammy, I would still like you even if you made music or not. You're still you." I reassured him.

"Well that's a relief." he said.

"So are you going back tomorrow?" I asked.

"I don't know yet, but if I do you should come." He said.

"Sounds good." I said happily.

The next day we went to the studio and Sammy introduced me to Kenny. He was really sweet and I enjoyed spending time with both of them. Kenny was extremely talented and so far the music they were making sounded really good. Sammy was surprisingly really talented too.

"I learn something new about you everyday, babe." I said wrapping my arms around his waist.

He chuckled and kissed me before returning to the sound booth. After an hour of watching their long process of producing music I became bored. So I ditched them for the beach. Sammy understood and said he would join me later, even though I knew he wouldn't.

I could tell he loved every second he was in that studio. It brings out a side of Sammy I've never seen before. I hope he continues doing what he loves but not get too caught up in it. I started to worry that the fame might change him. What if his career explodes and he becomes somebody that I used to know? I tried to shake the thought off but it continued to haunt me as I swam in the clear water.

My brain kept imagining different scenarios where Sammy becomes famous and leaves me? Later that night once he came home, I told him about my worries.

"Leah that's absolutely ridiculous. I swear something like that would never happen." he promised.

I nodded and cuddled up closer to him and eventually fell asleep. But the worry remained present. It never went away, ever.
