local strip joint

Cristina approached the tour bus, meeting Luke outside of the door.  He hugged her tightly, whispering softly into her hair.

"I don't know how I'm going to leave you."

She smiled into his shoulder, holding back the tears.  Those can wait until later.  For now, she just nodded in response.

Luke pulled back, smiling down at her.  

"Come with us.  Finish the tour with us."  

Cristina couldn't help but laugh quietly to herself.

"I understand that I'm stupid and I hate college as much as a person possibly could, but I have to finish out the semester, Luke.  What would happen if we got into an argument and you just threw me to a corner to live as a hobo, making money at the local strip joint?"

Luke shrugged, taking her hands into his, swinging them slowly.

"I don't know, I just don't want to not see you for however much longer it'll be."

They stared quietly for a few seconds, until Cristina spoke up.

"It sucks, it really does.  But this is your career, and I don't want to get in the way of it.  I kind of already am.  Go finish your tour, Luke.  I'll be here when you get done, and if we can still stand each other, then we'll meet again."

He sighed deeply, nodding his head. 

"Well, Cristina, the reason I came back wasn't to ask you to come with.  It was to do this,"

Luke leaned down, resting his lips gently on hers.  

They both felt sad in that moment, that this was the last they'd see of each other for who knows how long.  They were feeling the fear of possibly never being together.  That's what was driving Luke to kiss her, the fear of missing out on this moment.

Cristina smiled, breaking the kiss, but leaving their foreheads resting against one another.

"Go finish your tour, I'll see you soon."

Luke chuckled.

"Just promise me one thing?  You'll wait for me, and I'll wait for you?"

Those were the words Cristina was worried about.  She could never break a promise, but she also didn't know how much longer this fantasy was going to play on.  But, thanks to peer pressure, she didn't see any other choice but to say 'yes'.

Luke placed one last kiss against her forehead before running back onto the bus, waving as the bus drove off.

He stared at her as the bus left the parking lot, knowing that was last time he'd see her for the next 2 months at least.

Cristina walked back into her dorm, feeling a mix of joy and sadness.  Happy from finally kissing the boy she grew to love over snapchat, and sad from knowing it wasn't going to last.  

Nothing good ever does.
