I'm Gonna Make You Miss Me (Sam Hunt)

Chapter 18: Home, Finally!

~Leila's Point of View~

I was finally home, and off the plane. I had landed about an hour ago and my best friend had dropped me off at home. There were a few things at home that I needed to do. I needed to wash laundry, clear out any emails that I may had gotten from work or college. There was a lot I had missed. Most of all, I needed to call my parents. I'm sure my mom was wondering how everything had went while I was in Tennessee. I definitely would be worried. Not only did I need to complete all of that, I needed to message Brian and Tyler too. I guess you could say I'll end up being friends with them. I guess not being a complete fan girl over those two was a huge advantage not only on my part, but on theirs too. They finally have a "stranger", I guess you could say, to talk to and do things with. And I get to be friends and hang out with two celebrities. Not to mention, Brian was a total cutie. 

I sighed as I quickly sent texts to Brian and Tyler, letting them know I was home and that everyone was okay. I then logged on to my laptop and began checking my emails. I didn't have many. Just a few newsletters from work then a couple from classes that I had missed. Nothing extremely important. It was late at night. Almost twelve in the morning. I guess I should have waited to text Tyler and Brian. I didn't even think about them possibly being asleep. I really hope they aren't. I wouldn't be able to call my parents tonight. There is no way in hell that they are still awake. That would be something that would be done tomorrow evening when I get home from work and get my late homework for college courses done. 

I quickly went and got a shower before changing in to pajamas. It was late and I was extremely ready for bed. 

Once I had gotten out of the shower, I unlocked my phone realizing Brian had texted back. No sign of Tyler though. 

Brian~ Hey. That's good that you got back and are okay. How was the flight? :)

Leila~ It was nice. A little long, but other than that it was nice. 

Brian~ That's great!

Leila~ Yeah. Look, I didn't wake you up did I? I didn't realize it was as late as what it was when I messaged you. I'm so sorry if I did. 

Brian~ Nope, you didn't. Just up writing song ideas down. Besides, even if you did, it's no biggie. 

Leila~ Of course it is. I wouldn't want to interrupt one of y'alls sleep. 

Brian~ Are you kidding? Both Tyler and I sleep like bears. No worries, Leila. 

Leila~ Thanks. You guys are too kind, I swear.

Brian~ That's the least we could do. :) So, tell me. What's your story?

Leila~ It's a long one. 

Brian~ I've got time.

Leila~ Well. I was born in Florida. I'm majoring in Veterinary medicine at Georgia Southern University. And.. Yeah.. There's not really much else to tell.

Brian~ Sounds interesting :) you seem like a really nice, interesting, person! We totally need to meet up sometime.

Leila~ Yeah, I'd like that :)

Brian~ Good (: Alright, I'll let you go. You're probably exhausted. I'll message you sometime though! 

Leila~ Okay, sounds good. Talk to you later. Night.

Brian~ Night, Leila. 

Well at least that gives me something to look forward to. Hanging out with Tyler and Brian does seem like a great time! 

I sighed as I plugged my phone in and then crawled in to bed. It wasn't long before I was out like  a light. 

~Sam's Point of View~

"Michael, what do I do? I've got to get Leila back, some how." I asked

"I don't know, man. I'm not gonna lie to ya. You fucked up, big time. You should've been there for her when she needed it. She was always there for you. She felt like she was fighting a battle all her own. You were there, but at the same time, you weren't. She felt alone. You made her feel that way. Don't get me wrong, you're a great guy but at the same time, you just suck at relationships. I don't know that there is a way to get her back." he replied, truthfully. 

Honestly, I don't blame Leila at all. I blame myself more than anything. I was just too stupid. I didn't want to grow up and settle down and be there for her. All I cared about is parties, bars, and friends. Every thing that will never last. 

"Ugh. Shit. This sucks. I wish there was something I could do." I replied

"Make her miss you" Michael replied.

"How exactly am I supposed to do that?" I asked.

It was hopeless. There was nothing I could do.
