So, I just have a quick question. I got an idea to turn my OneShot "Virginia to Vegas" Into an actual story, and I wanted your opinion on that. I'd personally love to, to me it's a story worth turning into a book. But only if you guys would read it. Leave your opinions in the comments please!
P.S: I will be away from Thursday, November 23rd, to Monday, November 27. I am on a short vacation to Seattle, Washington, United States. Hope you can understand that on those days there will be no activity from me as I just want to enjoy Thanksgiving weekend with my mom and step-dad. Anyway, enjoy the story! (Song used was "Sound of Your Heart" by Shawn Hook.)


James Madison's POV
Six months. It has been six motherfucking months since Thomas left for France. And It's been the most agonizing six months of my life. We still talk every day, he'll call me in the morning and complain about how tiring his day was. I'll sit there and listen, wanting nothing more than to hear his voice. Besides, I love when he complains, It's kind of adorable. Then he'll talk for another twenty minutes about how much he misses me. I swear he never shuts up. Not that I mind. Hearing his voice makes it harder to think about the 3933 miles in between us. But when the call ended, the reality hit me. I was still alone, sitting on Thomas' bed, in his house, in Virginia. I moved in with him last year after countless letters from him begging me to move in. Yes, he still writes letters. Why? I really don't fucking know. He says "they're more romantic".

Anyway, here I am. Once again sitting on Thomas' now messy bed. I never bothered to make it when I got up. It looked out of place compared to his clean, well-kept office. Sometimes I wonder why his bed is where it is. Right in between two walls? With his office to the side... Anyway, that doesn't matter. I'm just trying to think of things to distract me, until I hear my phone ring. Excitedly, I grab it and answer the call. A rush of relief and happiness washes over me as I lay down and listen to Thomas start talking.

"Hey darlin'." He drawls.

"Hi Tommy, how are you?" I say innocently.

He chuckles softly.

"I'm okay, had a hell of a day though..."

And there he goes, I close my eyes and just listen to the sound of his voice. I can't tell how long he talked about his day before moving on to another topic.

"So how have you been Jem?"

"Umm... I've been good." I lie, I guess I'm a shitty liar.

"You're lying Jem, tell me what's wrong."

"I just. I miss you Thomas, It's been six months and every day gets worse. When I'm not talking to you, I'm depressed at work. When you aren't home to hold me, I'm curled up in a ball on your bed. When I can't listen to your voice, I read old letters you sent me. It's pure agony Tommy, I can't stand it." I whine.

I can practically hear his heart break a bit. He hates when I'm upset or in distress. He hates it more now because he can't do anything about it. I just want him with me so I can stop crying myself to sleep every night.

"You were my courage, my sword, and shield, grace under pressure, my wall of steel. I was a stone, weighing us down..." I sing in a soft voice. He catches on quickly and continues.

"You were the angel I chained to the ground... I miss the way you undress, I miss your head on my chest. Can't stop this bleeding-"

"Can't stop believing. I'm missing the sound of your heart beating." I continue.

Baby, I'm in love with you, ohh and I'm missing the sound of your heart beating. Baby, you were mine to lose, ohh and I'm missing the sound of your heart beating.

"You showed me heaven, you rang a bell. I played with matches, it hurt like hell. Asleep and wake, you're all I see. I can't escape you, can't set you free." He sighs upsetly. It hurts both of us to be apart for too long.

"I miss your full moon rising, catching a breath in silence. Can't stop this bleeding, can't stop believing-" He joins me in the next part.

"I'm missing the sound of your heart beating. Baby, I'm in love with you, ohh and I'm missing the sound of your heart beating. Baby, you were mine to lose. Ohh and I'm missing the sound of your heart beating."

"Missing you... Missing you. I'm missing the sound of your heart beating." He starts.

"Missing you... Missing you. I'm missing the sound of your heart beating."

I hear shuffling. As Thomas keeps his phone to his ear, I hear him unzip something and I can hear stuff being moved around.

"Baby I'm coming. Baby, I'm coming."

Wait... what is he doing?

"Tell me now baby I'll come running."

I hear him zip something back up and I hear him put on a jacket.

"Baby I'm coming, baby, I'm coming."

I hear a door open and close.

"Say the words baby I'll come running... Baby, I'm in love with you. Ohh and I'm missing the sound of your heart beating. Baby, you were mine to lose, ohh and I'm missing the sound of your heart beating."

I hear him talking to someone. He mentions checking out early and booking a flight. Instantly, I put two and two together.

He's coming home early.

I'm missing the sound, I'm missing the sound of your heart beating. Beating. I'm missing the sound of your heart beating.

"Baby I'll call you back in about... nine hours or so. Okay?"

Missing you, missing you. I'm missing the sound of your heart beating. Missing you, missing you. I'm missing the sound of your heart beating.

Beating. Beating.

"Umm... Okay..."

TIME SKIP

It's now nighttime. I've been waiting for his call now. It's been nine hours. Suddenly my phone rings.

"Hello?"

"I'm missing the sound of your heart beating."

Suddenly, I hear a knock on the front door.

"Jem baby, can you open the door for me? You have the keys."

I squeal loudly and hang up the phone. I sprint to the door and open it aggressively. And standing there is Thomas with a grin on his face.

"THOMAS!!"

I tackle him with a hug. He stumbles back a bit but regains his balance and picks me up. He chuckles softly and carries me in one hand and his two bags in another. He sets me down on the couch and crawls on top of me.

"Yeah, I'm home darlin'. Couldn't stand another damn minute without you."

He smiles and kisses me. I wrap my arms tightly around him and kiss back happily.

I'm sure you can guess what happened next.

*Insert Lenny face here*
