Emily's POV
It was now 10pm and my phone has finally charged. I sat down, with my tv on, and went through my phone. I saw I had a message from Sal reading:
Sal: hey Em, I'm leaving tonight for tour. The tour is six months long, so I'll see you in six months xxx

I couldn't believe it. I felt the tears building up in my eyes. I had no idea he was leaving, and for that long. That's half a year! I wanted to talk to him, so I rang him. Went straight to voicemail, so I tried again. I tried over ten times but he never answered. I left a voicemail.
"Hey Sal, it me. Emily. Well, I uh, just got your text and well I wanted to say I love-" then it cut me off. "You" I muttered as I hung up. In the voicemail you could hear my crying which I couldn't help. I looked back at a picture we took that day by the lake. It instantly made me smile. I decided to post it on Instagram.
I used the caption 'every minute of every hour I miss you more'. I tagged Sal in the post.

Sal's POV
I looked at my watch which read 10pm. We had to go out on stage. I switched my phone off and walked onto stage.
"Hello everybody" I shouted to the audience.

After the show, me and the other guys came down and sat in the living room to chill out.  We were all happy, but my mind raced back to Emily. I turned my phone back on and saw
You've been tagged in an Instagram post
10 missed calls from Emily😘
1 voicemail from Emily😘

I immediately listened to the voicemail. She sounded really upset. She said "Hey Sal, it me. Emily. Well, I uh, just got your text and well I wanted to say I love-". It didn't record the end of the message.
"No!" I shouted, frustrated at my phone.
"You okay bud?" Murr asked. I shook my head and immediately rang Emily. She didn't answer. I tried again, but a tour member of crew walked in.
"Hey Sal, can you help me with something?" They requested. I threw my phone on the table in the dressing room, and followed the crew member.

As I left Emily called me back. Q,Joe and Murr were still in the room.
"Is the Sal's phone?" Q asked.
Murr nodded. Q walked over and saw 'Emily😘' ringing.
"Who's Emily?!" Q asked, quite excited. Joe walked over to the phone.
"She had the kissing emoji!" Joe said. On Sal's phone, he added a picture for his contacts. His picture for Emily was the one at the lake.
"Should we answer?" Joe asked.
"No guys, it's Sal's phone!... and relationship" Murr said. Q and Joe took no notice. They answered.
"Hello?" Joe asked.
"Sal?" Emily asked.
"No, this is Joe" joe said.

I walked back in and saw Q and Joe on my phone.
"What are you doing?!" I asked as I snatched my phone back from them.
"Hello?" I asked into the phone.
"Sal!" I heard Emily's voice say.
"Emily?!" I asked.
"That's me" she joked back. "Where are you?" She asked.
"On tour" I replied. "I'm so sorry I couldn't pick up earlier" I said.
"Hey, don't worry. Your here.. well not literally" she joked. I couldn't help but laugh. We chatted for a while, until it was around 12pm.
"Well, I suppose I better go" she said. I could hear her becoming more tired throughout the call.
"Wait, before you go. In the voicemail you said I love, then the phone cut you off" I said.
"Yeah.." she replied.
"What was should saying. You love what?" I asked her. I was hoping she was going to say me.
"One day you'll find out" she said, then hung up. She said that because that's what I told her at the lake when she asked me what I love. The answer was her.
