(Joey's POV)

Daniel has been gone for two months, normally I would be crying, calling him repeatedly, locking myself away in my room until he comes back. But this time, I'm out and about. I've been filming videos with Hope as the camera person, playing with the dogs, hanging out with a bunch of my YouTube friends. Whenever Daniel calls, I obviously answer with a smile on my face, it's not like I don't miss him. I really miss him, I just can't let my mind go into a dark place again. Daniel calls around eleven a.m asking how I've been, honestly, I tell him everything and I could sense something was off.

"So you're doing alright?"

"Yeah, I miss you, Daniel. A lot. I just don't want to hold myself hostage in my room crying every day until you get back like last time."

"Yeah I guess you're right"

"Are you feeling okay Danny?"

"Yeah, I've just been busy with work. Speaking of, I should probably get going. I'll call you later okay?"

"Oh, okay. But we haven't talked on the phone for three days"

"I know, but I've been swamped with work. I'm sorry Joey, I just have to go"

"Alrighty then, goodbye I guess."

"Bye Joey, I love you"

"I love you too Daniel, forever and always."

He hangs up abruptly, shocking me. Daniel never hangs up first. There has to be something wrong, is it something I did? Did I sound too cheery and made it look like I don't miss him at all? Because I do, every day. I'm trying to distract myself from the pain of him not always being next to me. I didn't mean for it to look like I didn't miss him at all, I have to call him back. I dial his number again, yet just like I expected...voicemail. I decide to leave him one since I'm always gonna get voicemail when I try to call. "Hey Danny it's Joey, I hated the way we left the call. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like I'm having a ball without you. The truth is, I miss you, like a lot. I was trying to distract myself from the pain of not always having you around. I love you, Daniel, I love you a lot."

Throwing my phone away from me, I turn onto Daniel's side of the bed. The neatly made side of the bed. I didn't want to wreck it, so I haven't slept facing his side, the empty side. Letting all the built up emotions out, I cry heavily onto Daniel's side of the bed. I hear my phone vibrate from the other side of the room, but I don't go near it, I can't talk to Daniel yet. I fall asleep curled up against Daniel's pillow.

The next morning, I walk over to my phone where it lays, slightly cracked against the wall. Daniel called me five times and left four voicemails. Holding the phone up to my ear, I listen to Daniel's voicemails. He apologized for the sudden hang up yesterday, explaining that he thought that I didn't miss him at all, he had actually started crying after he hung up which hurt my heart. I never meant for Daniel to cry, I feel like a terrible boyfriend now. Calling him back, he answers on the first ring.

"Joey!"

"Good morning Danny, how was your sleep?"

"I didn't, I couldn't sleep knowing you weren't beside me"

"Danny, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry"

"I didn't cry because of you, I cried because I was acting like a fucking jerk!"

"Hey don't swear!"

Daniel chuckles "sorry. Joey, I love you so much, I miss you"

"I miss you more, I really do"

"I have to go to work, I'll talk to you soon!"

"Okay Daniel, goodbye"

He says goodbye before I hang up, a smile on my face.

(Daniel's POV)

I hang up with Joey before looking at the flight schedule. The next flight to L.A was in five minutes. I ran to my terminal before boarding just before they closed the door, handing the flight attendant my ticket and rushing onto the plane. I chose a window seat and thank goodness I did, the person next to me didn't even acknowledge my presence, instead, he put in his headphones and read a book. Finally, I get a good seat! I look out the window as the plane takes off, a smile on my face when we finally reach 39,000 feet. I'm coming Joey, I'm coming home.

I look at photos of Joey and I that I posted on my Instagram, checking his Instagram and what he's tagged in. Fans have been saying that Joey seems off, I saw a photo that was posted earlier today, Joey's hair is disheveled and his eyes had dark circles under them. He looked terrible. Now, I never say that about my boyfriend, he always looks gorgeous to me. But what has happened? Last time I checked, he looked happy, relaxed. This Joey, he looks stressed, and tired. I called him since we're allowed to have our phones off airplane mode. He answered straight away.

"Hey Daniel!"

"Hi Joey, how are you doing today?"

"Honestly, I'm stressed to the maximum"

"Why?"

"My friends are busy with YouTube things, I have been filming so many videos that I can't think straight. I need you home Danny"

"I wish I could be home Joey, just two more days I promise."

"I wish the two days would come by faster"

"So do I"

I had to lie to him, just so it could be a surprise.

"Thank you for calling, I meant to call you earlier but I was filming. I needed to hear your voice"

"I did too, I'll see you in a few days. I love you"

"I love you too."

And with that, we hung up.

I waited anxiously for the plane to land, my knee shaking rapidly, my phone clutched in my hand. As soon as we're able to get off, I'm gonna run off this aircraft. I need to see Joey before he goes insane. The stewardess lets us off first since we're first class, I grab my carry-on, running out of the plane and to the baggage claim. After I grab my suitcase, I run to my car.

Pulling into the driveway, I see that Joey's car is gone. He probably went shopping for some video ideas. The dogs greet me at the door and since Joey isn't home, I play with them for a minute before going upstairs. I hide in Joey's office and wait for footsteps to come up the stairs, soon, I hear the front door open. Joey's footsteps come up the stairs and anxiety shoots through me, is he going to be happy to see me? Is he gonna be mad? Wait, why would he be mad?

The door opens, Joey steps in and immediately we lock eyes. "D-Daniel?" I smile "hey Joey" dropping his bags, he runs toward me, pulling me into a tight embrace. "Oh my god, you're here. You're really here" "I'm here." Joey rests his hands on my face "w-what, w-why, w-when?" "All viable questions," I say with a chuckle. Joey kisses me sweetly, his arms wrapping around my waist again, his grip tightening. He starts to cry, his lips not detaching from mine. We pull away as his tears start to mix in with the kiss. "Why are you crying, Joey?" "I'm just so happy that you're home, I can't believe you're actually home" I smile, running my hands up and down his sides "I came home early because I couldn't stand being away from you any longer. I needed you, just as much as you needed me" Joey chuckles "I love you" pulling him in for another hug, I kiss his neck "I love you more."
