Time Away

Too Close

"Why won't you get a place with me?" I whined a little. I thought it would be a great idea! We'd move in together, fall deeper in love, get married, have kids, maybe. Or maybe I should stop rushing this, it's only been a year. "Sloane I'm really sorry but I don't think it's a good idea."

"Why?" I say, both hands on my hips with the angriest look on my face. He kept up a weird hesitation and I didn't like it. For the 5th time I asked him "DANIEL WHY?!" I raised my voice at him, hoping for an answer. Though he just shot back even louder, "IM GOING ON TOUR SOON!"

Everything fell silent. A tear hit my cheek. "Why didn't you tell me?" I said in a low tone. "I didn't want you to get upset. I don't know what I was thinking not telling you but Sloane please don't cry." He came to where I was, trying to hug me. I pulled away from him and said "How long is it?"

He dropped his hands to his sides, turned away and sat down. "7 months."

I just went to my room. I couldn't take that much of a distance from him. I could hear his footsteps trail after me so I stopped. He did too.

"When do you leave?"

"Next week. Thursday night." I wiped more tears that wouldn't stop. I walked a little farther but my vision was becoming way too blurred. "Baby please stop. Listen to me." He grabbed me and held me as I kept crying. "Why didn't you tell me?" I kept crying and pounding on his chest with all I could. I wasn't very strong. He picked me up and carried me to my bed, laying me down. He cuddle up next to me and continually wiped every tear until I stopped. "I'm really sorry Sloane. I didn't know when I was gonna tell you."

"We could've atleast made the the most of the time you'd be here. Now we have a fucking week Daniel." I was pissed.

"Sloane seriously? Please stop being mad." I rolled my eyes and rolled over so I didn't face him. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I pulled his arm closer. I was mad but I didn't want him to go. "I just wanna punch you in the face." I whisper. He chuckled. "I'm starting to think you wanna go to court with me."
