Kate's POV

"I'm sorry," I said, but he was speechless. "Luke..." I tried again.

"K-Kate, I need a second. Can I call you back in a few?" he asked. I wasn't ready to get off yet. I didn't want to stop talking because of the bad news my dad dropped on me, which I I turn dropped on Luke.

"No, Luke, we can-" The called ended, and I let out a low huff.

I got up from my spot on my bed to get water. My head felt like it was spinning, and all I wanted was to go back home. This entire trip, even though it was sort of fun, was a downwards spiral.

It was late, so I decided to get ready for bed. I prayed that this was all a joke and we actually go home like we planned.

I completely ditched trying to get ready for bed to pack my suitcase. Originally, we were supposed to leave midday Friday, so I took out a comfortable shirt and a pair of leggings to wear on the plane and sleep in.

I also thought it would be a good idea to take a shower, so I went in the bathroom and started the water. Unlike at my house, it got hot almost immediately.

I grabbed a towel and wash cloth before going the main section of my room to get out my shampoo. When I returned to the bathroom, I stepped out of my clothes and into the shower.

The water was warm against my back, and it relaxes me in a way. I was still a little tense, but it helped some.

I couldn't believe all of the flights back were booked for an entire week. That made no sense to me.

I washed my hair before getting out of the shower, and I dried off. I went back to the main part of my hotel room, and I put on my clothes.

I went to the air condition control panel to turn the heat up. Being that it was pretty hot in LA, it was super cold in my room.

I moved my suitcase, and I sit down on my bed. After a while, I got under my duvet and tried to relax. I wasn't tired, so I decided to see if Luke would want to talk.

Kate
Luke...

I waited for a few minutes, and when I didn't get a text back, I closed my eyes. Sleep overcame me soon after.

Luke's POV

When Kate told me that she wasn't coming home for another week, I was devastated. I was so excited for her to come home, and the news broke me heart a little.

All of the waiting and anticipation I had while she was away was growing higher and higher by the day, as it got closer to her return. Now, I was really drained, and it wasn't like earlier when I was just tired and needed rest. I was emotionally drained.

I felt like I could cry, but I didn't want to do that. Instead, I called Calum to see if he wanted to talk. 

After about two tries, he finally picked up the phone.

"Luke?" he questioned. He sounded like he was out of breath, but I decided not to question it.

"Who else?"

"I don't know, I thought maybe it could be Kate or someone. You usually give up on the first try," he explained. My heart clenched at the mention of her name, but I kept my cool.

"Mate, she not coming back for another week. What am I going to do?" I told him. He sighed and started speaking again after a brief silence on the line.
