If Im There

The room was dimly lit, the fading sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains, casting long shadows across the walls. You let out a heavy sigh, collapsing onto your bed, a familiar weight settling on your chest. Two months had passed since Noah left for tour, and the distance felt heavier than ever.

It gnawed at you like a persistent ache, one that found an outlet in your heartbeat. Each day bled into the next, a monochrome cycle of work and waiting. You had spent the day buried in paperwork and meetings that felt far too tedious to endure. No matter how hard you focused, your mind drifted back to Noah—his laugh, the way his eyes sparkled when he was excited, the gentle touch of his hand on your skin. You replayed old conversations in your mind, moments of warmth that felt so distant now.

He called whenever he could, his charismatic voice a balm for your aching heart, but it was never quite enough. After a quick shower, you changed into your softest pajamas, feeling an avalanche of exhaustion wash over you. Tonight, you needed to hear his voice, to bridge the yawning gap that separated you.

You picked up your phone, your fingers trembling slightly as you tapped out a message. 'Can I call you?' His reply came just moments later, and your heart plummeted the moment you read it. 'Hey baby, I can't at the moment. I'll call as soon as I can.' His words felt like a slap, the last bit of resilience you had evaporating in an instant. You put the phone down, staring at the blank screen, your thoughts spiraling into despair.

The silence of the room enveloped you, accentuated by the absence of him and the way he could fill any space with warmth. Rolling over, you buried your face in your pillow and let the tears flow freely. The world outside faded away, melted into a blur of muted colors and distant sounds. You were alone, utterly alone. The anxiety you already suffer with daily feeling 100 times worse.

Each sob rattled through your body like a storm, releasing the pent-up frustration and longing that had buried itself inside you. Loneliness clawed at your heart with vicious claws, whispering doubts in your ear as you cried. The gentle hum of the night enveloped the room, a stark contrast to the emotional storm that had engulfed you just hours before. While tears clouded your vision and sorrow gripped your heart.

sleep finally claimed you, wrapping you in its oblivion. The world faded away, and for a brief moment, you found solace within the quiet sanctuary of your shared bed. Noah's return was a surprise. The tour had been grueling, filled with endless nights under stage lights and overwhelming applause, yet none of it mattered as much as the thought of you.

He had missed you fiercely, but the sight that greeted him as he entered the bedroom tugged at his heart with a pang of helplessness. There you lay, as beautiful as ever, the soft rise and fall of your chest a soothing rhythm. But the deep breath he took turned heavy in his throat when he noticed the telltale signs of your distress—splotchy cheeks and the remnants of tears that lingered like an unfished chorus on your skin.

It grieved him to know you had been alone, battling your emotions while he was miles away, lost in the frenzy of touring. Moving quietly, Noah slipped off both his hoodie and shoes, careful not to wake you. Every step felt like an apology, a way to express the love that burst inside him like a thousand firework blooms. He climbed into the bed beside you, the mattress creaking slightly, but you remained blissfully unaware.

Noah's heart raced as he positioned himself beside you, engulfing you in warmth as he slid under the comforter, shielding you both from the world. He hesitated for a heartbeat, admiring the beauty of your face, still marked by sorrow yet painted with the gentle brush of sleep. With a determined tenderness, he pulled you against him, feeling your body mold into his—a perfect fit amidst the storm. He pressed a soft kiss to your forehead, a vow to shield you from all the sadness that dared creep into your mind.
