(Hunter's POV)

I take in everything she's saying and realize that she's right. I can't overwork myself like I've been doing. I feel beyond exhausted. I nod my head and begin to speak.

"You're right. I mean I know that I get into it and start over doing everything but I can't help it! I feel so anxious, like the fans won't like what I put out for them and then I can't help but to worry that this new album is gonna be a mess or whether or not I'm gonna perform well enough on stage and-"

I was cut off by her talking.

"Hunter are you completely oblivious? The fans, they love every single thing that you do no matter what it is. You don't need to load your self up with all of this stress. Your concerts are gonna be insane! Everything will put itself into place alright?"

She grabbed my hand and squeezed it. What would I do without her?

"They love you Hunter and so do I." And for the first time, I really believed with all my heart that everything she said was true.

"I love you." I whispered.

"But, uh shit. I probably sounded like a bitch right now, being so demanding and stuff. But I just don't want to see you exhausted like this. I mean what you decide is completely up to you - wait I mean like I don't want your fans to see me as the bad guy cause I'm only trying to help and I know how much they mean to you and ugh no wait I messed up. I meant -"

I laughed at her continuous rambling. "No, no. I completely understand what you're trying to say and thank you for looking after me." I nudge her with my arm which causes her to face me.

She smiles at me and sits herself up. "I just want you to be happy."

"I am happy, with you." I pull her into my side and pick the duvet up so it's under our chins.

Holding her like this and her being this close to me. This. This is what makes me happy.

I wake up the next morning around 8 am and rub my eyes. I look next to me to see Sophie still sleeping. Hair is strewn across her face and she's curled up into a little ball.

She's such a cutie. I peck her on the nose and stand up to stretch. I check my phone to make sure I don't have any notifications and then I make my way to the bathroom.

I turn the water on so it's warm and begin to strip my clothes off. I go to the gym but not as often as I would like, but running around on stage and playing all those instruments really pay off I guess.

I hop in once I feel that the water is just right and begin to massage my hair with the mint shampoo that the hotel provides. It makes my eyes water a bit but I splash water in them to try and ease the stinging sensation.

I grab the conditioner and rub it into my hair as well. Then I grab the loofah on the shelf and squirt some soap on it. Once I rinse all the conditioner and soap off of me, I turn the water off and shake my hair.

I open the door and realize something. I forgot my towel on the counter. I physically smack myself on the forehead for forgetting something so simple.

I really don't wanna wake Sophie up but I don't wanna go out into the cold room butt naked. I rub my temples and step out of the shower. I go over to the door and crack it open, just enough to yell out of it.

As soon as I do so goosebumps begin to raise all over my body. "Soph." It comes out more as a whisper and she doesn't move at all.

"Sophie." I try to say it in a loud way but it comes out normal. "Sophie!" I scream now.

She sits up and bangs her head on the headboard. "Oh shit." She mumbles while she rubs the area. She looks over to me and a look of confusion rolls onto her face.

"Hunter what are you doing?" she says getting up from the bed. I laugh at her appearance because her hair is literally everywhere! It looks like a lions mane.

"I actually forgot my towel," I point to the counter where it's sitting, "and uhm I'm kinda naked so.." She nods and walks to pick the towel up. I hold my hand out for the towel and she gives it to me.

"Thanks Soph!" I shut the door and hear her walk away mumbling something about breakfast and how she's gonna get me back for making her bump her head.

I dry my hair with the towel and and then try to get the drops off water off of my body. I then wrap it around my waist and head into the bedroom.

Sophie's not in here so I shut the door and look for clothes to wear. I end up pulling out some briefs, jeans, a t shirt and a pair of sneakers.

I pull the clothing on and head over to the mirror. I grab the watch off of the counter and put that on as well as my necklaces.

I head over to the bathroom again and run some gel through my hair then I top it off with a little hairspray. There. Finally done.

Walking to the nightstand I pick my phone up and exit the room. I see Sophie sitting at the counter eating a bowl of cereal and on her phone. Her hair seemed to tame down a little which makes me smile.

"So do you still want to go to the studio with me today?" I ask her while pouring myself a cup of coffee that she had already made. God she knows me so well. I turn around and sit down across from her.

"Yeah of course! How much longer until we need to leave?" I look down at my phone and estimate the time.

"About 45 minutes." She nods and finishes the rest of her cereal. "Alright let me go hop in the shower real quick then." She gets up and places her bowl in the sink. I feel her come up behind me and she snakes her arms around my torso.

I can't help but to lean into her touch and sigh. "I love you." She mumbles into my neck. My hands run over hers and I bring her closer. "I love you."

I can feel her smile against my neck and she presses a kiss to my cheek then leaves the room. I shake my head at how lucky I am to have her. Someone as real as she is.

I get up from the counter and make my way to the living room. Sitting on the couch, I turn the tv on hoping that time would pass quickly so we can get out of this hotel room.
