Chapter 2;

Eric p.o.v

(Enchanted - Taylor Swift)

The weeks when we were apart were horrible. We spent our time either thinking about each other or talking on the phone. I would be restless, up half the night and up early in the morning.

When we were together, we had taken to sleeping at each others houses. When we were apart, my flat back home felt empty. Without Jess's smile, without her laugh, I realised how much I loved her.

We had taken our relationship slowly. A few dates a week, for two months. After those two months, she had asked me to stay with her when I was in the UK. I had also asked her to stay with me whilst in Sweden - it was the closest we could get to moving in together at the moment.

It was only a week, but it was going to be the longest week of my life. I had arrived at my flat and had only been there for a few minutes when I found myself walking aimlessly around. I decided that I needed to hear her voice, so pulled my phone out and dialed her number as I sat down on the sofa in the livingroom. She awnsered after a few rings and I instantly felt better when I heard her voice.

"Hallå, my beautiful." I greeted her. "I've just landed on Stockholm."

"Hallå, my Eric." She was using Swedish more and with a hint of her accent, it was beautiful.

"What is wrong? You sound upset." I observed as she had finished talking a few minutes later.

"It's just ..." She hesitated, obviously debating whether or not to tell me. "I miss you so much. And I know it's silly, but part of me is convinced that you will stay over there and not want to come back." She sighed. it broke my heart.

"Ah, Jessica." I groaned slightly. "You know how sorry I am for what I did, but you also know that I love you more than anything. I don't have the courage to leave you again - it was bad enough the first time and I know I can't live without you." I reassured her.

"I know I'm being stupid, but thank you." she laughed.

That night, we spent over 2 hours on phone. we said our goodbyes at 10pm, my time, as I had to be up early tomorrow for a video shoot.

I wish Jess could have been there to see me in action, but I knew it wasn't possibe at the moment - people had only just found out about us officially dating.

#And now I'm pacing back and forth.

Wishing you were at my door.#
