Fight For You (Chris Evans)

Chapter 6

Sophie's POV:

Chris takes my suitcase from my hands and lifts it into the back of his car. I go home today. We start our long distance relationship today. I've come to accept that we won't see each other as often anymore but I want to try everything I can to stay with Chris. "Ready?" he asks as he turns to me. "Yeah" I answer with a smile, not wanting to leave yet. He takes my hand and raises it to place a kiss on my knuckles before leading me to the passenger seat.

He drives me to the airport and pulls my suitcase through the airport while keeping his other hand wrapped around mine. We come to a stop when we reach the point that Chris can't cross without his own ticket. "I'll call you when I land" I say when I turn to face him. "Ok" he nods slowly, not wanting to let go. "We're gonna be fine, I promise" I assure him with a smile while cupping his face. "I know. I'm just gonna miss seeing you almost every day" he replies, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Me too" I pull him into a hug and he wraps his arms tightly around my waist and lifts me off the ground. I laugh into his shoulder before he lowers me to the ground.

He lowers me back to the ground and I stand on the tips of my toes to kiss him. He kisses me back and pulls me back into a hug. We stand in each others arms for as long as we possibly can before I finally take my suitcase and head for my flight, giving Chris one final wave.

Sarah picks me up from the airport and demands to know everything about Chris. I chuckle at her eagerness as she drives to my apartment. "What do you wanna know?" I ask with a wide smile. "Everything. How are you feeling? Was the goodbye as hard as you expected?" she asks, glancing at me. "I'm ok, I'm a little scared but we both want this to work so I think we're gonna be ok. And the goodbye wasn't as bad as I expected but it was hard. I called him when I landed and we're ok" I smile over at her. "Good, and you're happy?" she questions and I smile at her. She's the best friend I could've asked for. "Yes, I'm happy" I assure her. I love her for how dedicated she is to making sure I'm ok and happy. It's why she didn't say a thing about me going to Boston for 2 weeks and why she didn't say much during the month after I broke up with Jake. She has my best interests at heart and I love her so much for it.

3 Months Later

I collapse onto the sofa after my shower, glad to finally put my feet up after my busy week at work. I'm gonna have an early night since I'm so tired and I need to be up tomorrow morning to pick Chris up at the airport. He's coming to spend the weekend here and I'm thinking that he and Sarah can meet. She's so eager to meet him, she asks me every time he plans on coming to Brooklyn.

Before I can actually relax, there's a knock at my door and I huff in frustration. What's a girl gotta do to get a break? I force myself to my feet and make my way towards the door. I open the door without looking through my peep hole, eager to get this person to leave me be. But when I open the door, I'm met with a pair of ocean blue eyes that I am far too familiar with. I'm stunned to see Chris standing in front of me with a smile and a bag in his hand.

"Hi sweetheart" he smiles as I stand staring at him in shock. "Hi baby" I finally smile and wrap him in a hug. "What are you doing here? I thought your flight lands tomorrow" I question before pecking his lips and dragging him into the apartment. "I got an earlier flight" he shrugs before dropping his bag by the closed door and wrapping his arm around my waist, lifting me off the floor. He holds me tightly against his body and I giggle while wrapping my arms and legs around him. "I've missed you" I mutter into his shoulder and running my hand down the back of his head. "I missed you too" he replies, rubbing my back and I smile, happy that he's here.

We both lie in my bed later that night, my head resting on his chest while his arm keeps me tucked into his side. "Thank you for coming today instead of tomorrow" I say, breaking the minutes of silence. "It's ok. I wanted to see you" he answers, looking down at me and I smile at him gently. "You ok?" he asks, clearly seeing my slight struggle to give a convincing smile. "I just hate this long distance thing" I mutter, tracing my fingers along his chest. He sighs deeply before turning over so that he hovers beside me. "I hate it too" he states as he traces his knuckles across my cheek. "But we're making it work and it won't be forever" he promises as he runs his fingers through my hair with a reassuring smile. "I know. We've made it 3 months, what's a few more?" I nod optimistically and he smiles down at me. "Exactly" he agrees before leaning down to kiss me deeply which leads to a later night that I had originally planned.
