Russell Howard Fanfiction - Love At First Laugh

Chapter 13 - Gone on Tour

A/N
I KNOW THIS CHAPTER IS SHORT BUT THE NEXT ONE WILL BE REALLY DRAMATIC I PROMISE. I'm writing this part to lead up to chapter 14 and give some reasoning behind it.

Russells POV

A couple days later

I ran to the front door, excited to tell Y/N the great news. I repeatedly rang the doorbell until Y/N opened the door with a look of confusion on her face. The new puppy, Boris ran to the door jumping up and spinning around.

Yes I decided to call the puppy Boris ... it suits him quite well! It's also quite funny to shout "BORIS". It leaves me and Y/N in fits of laughter everytime.

"You'll never guess what!" I said entering the hall.
"What's got you so happy?" Y/N said following me into the living room.
"I'M GOING ON ANOTHER UK TOUR!"
"Oh my god Russell I'm so happy for you!"
"Me too! .... there is a downside though."
"Oh, what?"
"I can't take you with me.... I don't have to go though. If you don't want me to."
"No Russell you must go! It's a great opportunity! How long will you be gone though?"
I took a big breath, feeling anxious about what I was about to say. "Uh... a month".
Y/N froze and tried to form a smile. "Oh well... that's not too bad I guess. It will go quickly I'm sure!"

Y/Ns POV

It didn't go quickly. Russell was only half way through his tour and yet it felt like I hadn't seen him in years. Each day dragged and I felt miserable. We called eachover as much as we could, and we would Skype eachover everyday before bed. But ... I couldn't help but feeling lonely, and slightly jealous of Russell. He had been putting all of these photos up on twitter of him having a good time going to parties and making friends, some of which were female. I wasn't exactly jealous but I was feeling cautious about these women. What if one of them made a move on him? I tried to shake the thought out of my head, telling myself to stop being so stupid.

I walked down the street of our town with Boris attached to a lead. Everything felt grey. Boris was the only thing I had to make me happy right now. I felt uneasy. I had been feeling sad everyday but this feeling was different, almost anxious. Like something bad was going to happen. I'm sure it wouldn't. It's just my head playing tricks on me.

It wasn't just my head.
I was on the phone to Russell later on when the doorbell rang.
"Russ I've got to go, someone's at the door"
"Okay, I love you"
"I love you too"
I opened the door to a familiar face. A face I certainly didn't like.
"Hello Y/N. Remember me?".

A/N
Who do you think it will be at the door?
Cerys?
Ethan?
Someone we haven't met yet?
