*My POV*
Calum leaves for tour today. My heart is breaking with every passing moment. I don't know how I'm going to live without him this summer. He is the love of my life and my best friend. It's going to be really hard. I wish I could go with him like he asked me to, but my mom is worried about college. I know where she's coming from, but I really wish I wasn't growing up so fast. This is my last summer before I really have to be an adult and all I want to do is spend it with Cal. Man, this sucks.
I washed off my face and looked in the mirror one more time before heading to my room to grab my phone and ask Cal if he was ready.
"Hey, Cal? You ready, baby?" I asked softly.
He was sprawled across my bed scrolling through twitter. He lifted his head slowly to look me in the eyes.
"If by that, you mean ready to leave my favorite girl, of course not. But I guess I have to. Tour is fun, but I'm going to miss you so much." He ranted, taking few breaths in between sentences.
"I know baby, just think, when you're done the North American tour, you'll get to come back to me and we can spend every day together. Doing anything you want." I finished the thought in a seductive tone, and his eyes darted back to mine from the wall he'd previously been staring at.
"Well, when you put it that way, you make it even harder to wait." He said inching toward me. He put his right hand on my face and kissed me sweetly. His kisses were heaven. I pulled away before he got carried away.
"We have to go, love. You can't miss your flight. The fans would be so disappointed." I said gathering my things and standing up.
"I love that you care so much about the fans. It's so sweet." He said standing up as well. He walked over to me and placed a kiss on my forehead.
"Well, I was one of them, you know." I said with a small giggle pulling him out of the room by his wrist.
"That's true. You were so cute jamming out to our songs when I first met you. You were wearing a t-shirt that said 'Call me Mrs. Hood' and the tightest jeans I've ever seen you in. Where are those by the way?" He laughed moving his hand slowly down to my butt.
"They are long gone. I could barely breathe. But they sure caught your attention didn't they?" I giggled and kissed his cheek.
"Oh my god did they catch my attention. I couldn't look away. You just looked so hot!" He said breathing out heavily and pulling me in for a hug and grabbing my keys for me.
"Mom! I'm taking Cal to the airport! I'll be back in a little bit!" I called to my mother who was upstairs doing god knows what.
"Wait! I want to say goodbye!" She screamed as she ran out of her room and down the stairs. "Bye, Cal. It's been great having you here. I've never seen Emily smile so much. You really make her happy." She said as she enveloped him in a tight hug.
"She makes me happy, so I can only hope I make her as happy as she makes me." He said pulling me closer to his side. My cheeks flushed to a pink color. I loved this boy so much.
"Alright, I'll see you in a little while, mom. You ready Cal?" I breathed opening my front door. He sighed.
"I guess. Thanks for bringing me today. It means a lot."
"Of course, baby. Anything to spend every moment possible with you. I love you." I said with a smile even though I wasn't very happy.
"I love you more." He teased as we went out to my car and he loaded his bags into the trunk.
The drive was long, but that didn't bother me. I got to spend it with my favorite person so it wasn't that bad. We sang along with the radio the whole way. He was so cute when he sang. That's what made me fall in love with him in the first place. He was so passionate about it. I loved how much he loved what he did. As we grew closer to the airport, the atmosphere of the car began to sink quickly. We both knew we were sad. Neither of us wanted to be apart. He turned his head toward me.
"You're so beautiful, princess." He almost whispered only making it more intimate.
"You're pretty hot yourself there, Hood." I giggled pecking his lips after pulling into a parking spot.
"Let's go before I change my mind about leaving the most gorgeous girl in the world." He said half smiling. I gushed at his sweetness, but I wish he could change his mind and stay with me. We both got out of the car and walked to the lobby of the airport. I didn't have a boarding pass, so I couldn't go to the gate with him. We would have to say goodbye right here.
"This fucking sucks!" He breathed holding me tight to his toned chest.
"Yeah, it does. Call me when you land okay? I love you so much, Calbaby." I said holding back tears but managing a small smile at the nickname he hated.
"You know, that nickname is growing on me. I love you so much princess. I'll call you as soon as I can." He said giving me one more kiss. And this was the best one yet. I could feel the love he felt for me better in this single kiss more than all of our other kisses combined. Man, I really didn't want him to leave. He pulled away looking into my eyes for a moment.
"Goodbye, beautiful." He said walking away slowly with a pained smile on his face. I stood in the same spot and waved with tears running down my cheeks. He walked through the security line glancing back at me a few times. I stayed in the same spot until I couldn't see him anymore. That's when I let the sobs escape my mouth as I returned to my car. I sat in there and cried for a few minutes before regaining my composure. I started the car and just as I went to pull out of the parking spot, my phone went off.
Text Message from: Calbaby😘🐶

I smiled to myself as I read it. He was so cute. I responded:
Text Message to: Calbaby😘🐶
"No promises, but I'll try. I love you, butthead. Have a good flight! Call me😘"
I knew I wouldn't get a reply. He was probably already boarding. Man, this is going to be a rough few months.

Well, this is my first attempt at fanfiction. I hope it was good. This is the story of "On The Road Again" by hemmos_giggle only from my and Calum's perspective as opposed to Amanda and Luke's. Hope this all works out!
