I Am His

Before You Leave

Three days had passed by since the last accident at my job. It had also been three days of hits. Some days it's just one hit, others it's more than one. I haven't received the call from Lou and to be honest I'm scared that they might have found out by someone else and decided that they were better off without me.

I know I haven't been away from Matt since most of our relationship so I don't know how he will take it if I do leave. To be honest it is I who is looking forward for it. I believe a few days of no hits might serve me well. I am scared but right now leaving the house for a while sounds good.

I was sitting in front of Matt, we were having lunch. The room was filled with the clink of the silverware on the plate.

"Have they called?"

"No."

"They will, you are great at doing what you do."

"Thank you."

"Olivia, I know that what I've been doing is wrong. Trust me it hurts me too. I'm working on myself, or will work on myself in other words. Olivia you know no one here in this stupid town wants to give me a job that is why I wanted you to get one. I've been looking at therapy sessions and anger management classes but they cost money, money we don't have."

I looked at him with wide eyes. I suddenly felt happy.

"I want to be the old me, I'm doing it for you, I love you."

He wants to change for me.

"I just need you to send in some money every month, please Olivia. I'm embarrassed for asking but you promised you'd help me."

"I did Matt and my promise still stands."

"Why are you crying?" A frown appeared on him.

"I'm just happy for you, for us."

"Come here."

I stood up and made my way to him. He sat me sideways on his lap. "I love you Olivia."

"I love you Matt."

Our talk had changed everything. He confessed he wanted to change and I was willing to help him. We were on the couch together watching a movie when I heard the house phone ring. I stood up and rushed to it.

"Hello"

"Hi Olivia, just wanted to call you to tell you we leave tomorrow. Pack your bags we're heading to Ireland."

"Really?"

"Yes babe."

"I sure will."

"See you at the airport, bye."

"Bye and thank you once again."

"You're welcome."

I happily made my way to Matt.

"Who was it?"

"Lou, I'm going on tour with them."

"What! I'm proud of you come here."

I wrapped myself in his arms and in a second Matt's lips were on mine.

"I want to show you how much I love you before you leave." He guided me through the house all the way to our bedroom.

This time he laid me in bed with such care. This time he cared all throughout it. This time we made love, both fully involved.

"Love, we have to leave, we've got to go the airport."

I woke up to see Matt all dressed and ready with a small bag with my belongings in it. I got out of bed and changed to comfortable clothes; I quickly did my makeup then headed out with Matt.

"Promise you'll call" Matt said to me on our way to the airport. He was carrying my bag while we both walked early in the morning in hopes we'd make it on time.

"I will. Promise you'll go to the therapy once I send you money."

"I promise, for you."

I smiled at him and went in for a kiss.

When we reached the airport everyone was there already. We went towards them and once they saw me they greeted us.

"It's time to go," Niall screamed.

"Hey, keep everything to yourself okay. I'll be waiting here, call me anytime okay."

"I will. I love you Matt."

"Take care love."

We started making our way to the gate. I turned around and saw Matt I waved him goodbye which earned me a smile back.

"Ready?" Louis asked.

"Ready."
