We Found Us

I Love You

Carol's POV:

I haven't spoken to Luke for at least a week. This time away from each other is like a big breath of fresh air, it makes me realize that we did need a little bit of time away from each other. Sometimes you need the time away from someone to fully realize how much I actually need them.

I'll admit that I maybe was being a bit over dramatic when I distanced myself from Luke but I didn't mean to hurt him that bad. When you constantly argue about the little things you can't control it eventually builds up until you have a breaking point.

I felt like now would be a better time to talk with him and figure everything out. It was too early for us to even make a decision on whether or not we wanted to be with each other when we had first talked. Our minds weren't in the right place and neither were our hearts.

Luke's POV:

I laid in bed and scrolled through my socials. I hadn't been out of the house in days and I hadn't seen my boys in what seemed like forever. They were still in Leesburg visiting Mamaw. Til wasn't really home once he'd figured out what was going on, but I didn't blame him.

My phone began to ring and to my surprise it was Caroline. I debated on whether or I should answer but I figured that I better to see what she had wanted.

"Hello." I answered.

"Can I come over to talk?" She asked.

Her voice comforted me, it made me feel like everything was back to normal for some reason.

"Uh- yeah yeah, when?" I asked.

"Right now." She questioned me.

"Yeah that's fine, the doors unlocked just as always." I told her.

"Alright see you soon."

Sure enough, not too soon later, I heard her come in. I sat on the couch watching tv pretending that I was fine when I really wasn't. 

"Hey." I flashed a quick smile at her.

"Hi." She sat down beside me as I lowered the volume to the tv.

"I'm sorry too." She started our conversation.

"For what? This is my fault I shouldn't of been bashing you even if I was drunk. I know better than that." I admitted.

"I'm sorry for arguing, for pushing you away, I'm sorry for everything." She told me, "It's not just your fault it's mine too."

"You were right, I am arrogant. When things don't go my way I drink and get messy, and I shouldn't. Drinking isn't my support system you are, I should've known to come to you and talk to you about about any problems I had." I said.

"You're right too, we shouldn't argue over the small things or or differences. We just gotta learn how to talk them out like right now. I love you Luke, I don't want this divorce either, I realized that when you're minds not in the right place you do say dumb things." She stated.

"I realized I haven't been there for you as much I needed to be. I love you too and I need to show that more by being more open to you and not bottle up my feelings." I said.

"We both need to Luke." She told me.

"Listen, I love you very much and I don't wanna be separated for you. This last week was one of the hardest times I've gone through. Being without you made me hurt even more than I thought I could ever." I let her know, "let's not end this."

"We don't have to, this can just be another disagreement that we can learn and grow from. I love you too." She said before crashing her lips against mine.

Everything in the world was right again, she was in my arms and safe. No more tears, no more hurt, we were back together. I held onto her right and lifted her up before taking us back to our room.

I lied her done on the bed and she ripped off my shirt. One by one our clothes fell off and our bodies felt like they were one again. We were tangled up in the sheets and it was amazing.

I missed feeling her bare skin against mine, I missed her playing with my hair as we made out. I missed her, and I let her know of that. We opened up a bottle of wine when we'd calmed down and shared it.

"I love you baby." I kissed her forehead.

"I love you too." She said rubbing my thigh.

"When do the boys fly back in?" I asked her.

"Tomorrow." She said.

"Good, I miss having them around." I held onto her.

"I do too." She giggled.
