The Story Of Another Us - L.H

CH.12

Jillienne's POV

I was right. Things did get better, they got bigger and they eventually got invited by One Direction to play as the opening act for their Take Me Home Tour. They had to travel with them which made things harder for me. I literally thought it wouldn't be so bad since the boys and I have been dealing with this long distance friendship for years now and I just thought maybe the fact that they had to travel wouldn't affect us but I was wrong. They got busier writing songs, doing the opening acts and their band practice almost turning into a daily chore, so busy that Luke barely had time to spare to catch up with me.

For the past 2 months all we shared were a few short chat and the fact that we haven't talked on Skype was depressing to me, him being a lot farther away from me was starting to give me the feeling that we were drifting apart.
I know that he's been trying to keep in touch with me and be there for me when I need him but I realized that we'll have to go our separate ways someday.

Earlier today he messaged me telling me to stay up and wait for his call but it was already 10pm and I've been dying to take a bath.
I just shrugged it off and headed to the bathroom to get in my bath, I've been dying to see him again but I didn't have a good day at work and a bath was what I needed to relax.

Once I had settled in the bath I let out a sigh of relief, grabbing my phone that was on the stand near the bathtub I scrolled down tumblr giggling over photos of cute baby animals.

My eyes widened when my phone started ringing.

Now he calls when I'm starting to feel relaxed.

I pouted and answered his video call not caring if I was in the bath, well I checked and I had enough bubbles around and all he was going to see was my neck and up.

"Hel-"
"Lucas!" I cut him off.

Luke's eyes widened and everything became blurry like he got sucked by a tornado, I could hear some talking but it was muffled. I raised a brow and waited for him to settle down but instead I saw a hand.

"Jesus Jill! Why did you answer the call?!" I heard him say in his scolding voice, still couldn't see his face.

"You called?" I answered like it was the most obvious thing.

"Just call me back later." He said in a hurry.

"But-" and then he ended the call.

"Weird." I mumbled to myself.

I took my time and stayed for a few more minutes before I got out and changed into my pajamas. I wrapped my wet hair with a towel and grabbed my phone to call Luke.

"So what happened to 10pm? " I asked, still upset.

"Hey, I called you the moment we got to the hotel." He let out a heavy sigh.

"Hmm. But you hung up on me." I mumbled. "After making me wait for hours."

His eyebrows were knit together, groaning as he walked to his bed. "I called you right away, As soon as I could."
"You were in the bath and I was with the boys, I had to end the call before they see you." He said rubbing his forehead. I nodded, ignoring the hint of a slight anger mixed in his voice, it didn't really mattered to me. I missed him and wanted to talk to him, that was all I wanted.

I mumbled a 'thank you' and he nodded his head tiredly. I frowned at the bags under his eyes.

"You're tired. You didn't really have to call me." I mumbled, feeling bad about how I acted.

"I feel better doing this." He said with a lip tight smile. "I rest better when I know how you're doing." He added making me smile like I wasn't upset because of him a few minutes ago. "And besides, I've missed you."

I smiled. "I've missed you too."

He shifted on the bed, his pillow covering half of his face as he stared at the camera.

I went to my bed and laid on my stomach. "You look really tired, Luke" I said, almost coming out as a whine.

"A little exhausted." He mumbled, his eyelids looking they were about to close any second.

"Lukey, I should let you rest."

"I'm fine, Mae."
I pursed my lips at the mention of my middle name.

"You're going to be sick if you don't rest enough."

"Talk to me till I fall asleep?" He said, his eyes already shut.

I smiled.
"Sure, Hem."

I started telling him about my day at work, he would chuckle at some part to tell me he was listening but after a while he eventually stopped responding.

I smiled to myself, looking at the boy sleeping peacefully half way across the world away from me.
"Goodnight Luke." I whispered before ending the call.
