Another song imagine 💕

I'm sitting in my living room, trying to stop the tears going down my face.

I've been having a hard time.. again. My depression comes and goes and I hate it so much. It's so hard, especially when I'm alone.

I mean I'm not alone, I have my boyfriend Charlie of almost 3 years but he's actually Charlie Puth and he's currently gone on tour for his recent album.

So technically, right now, I am alone.

I miss him so much, and it's one of the reasons I've been having a hard time.

He calls every night and sometimes we even FaceTime but at the end of the day, it's not the same as being in his arms or being able to actually touch him in person. But it is better than nothing.

Attention starts to play on my phone, which is Charlie's ringtone.

I felt my eyes widen when I see it's a FaceTime call. I clear my throat, dry my eyes as best as I could, trying to hide any sign that I was crying. I finally accept the call

"Hey babe", he cheerfully says, smiling

"Hey you", I fake a smile. I'm happy to see him but I just wish he was actually here with me.

"What have.. wait...", he seems to bring his phone closer to his eyes

"Baby have you been crying?", he asks concerned, slightly frowning

I chuckle, "What? No, why would you say that?", trying to seem as casual as ever

"Your eyes are really red, and your eyes never get that red unless you've been crying", he says

I smile to myself, the fact that he noticed that is really sweet

"No, I haven't. It must be that being on camera must be making my eyes seem more red, they're red because of my allergies, you know how bad they can be sometimes, I've been sneezing all day", I fake a laugh.

I hate lying to him but I don't want to worry him. He worked so hard on Voicenotes and I want him to enjoy being on tour, I don't want him worrying about me the whole time. I'll get past it eventually

"Oh.. okay", he chuckles lightly.

"So how was your day?", I ask, changing the subject.

"It was good, busy", he smiles at me

I smile back at him, seeing his smile makes me realize how much I really miss him.

"I miss you so much Y/N", he says frowning

"I miss you too Charlie", I say, trying my best not to cry again

We end the call not too long after that since where he was, it was almost 3 in the morning and he needed his rest.

I go to our bed and I grab his pillow and hold it close to my chest, wishing it was actually him.

I feel the pillow absorb the tears that fall absentmindedly.

I eventually fall asleep.

Around the same time the next day, I get a phone call from Charlie.

"Hey babe", I say, trying not to sound down

"Hey beautiful", he replies

"Y/N..", he starts

"Yeah?"

"I know something's wrong, and I also know you were crying yesterday. What's bothering you babe? Please talk to me", he begs, I could hear the concern in his voice

"N-nothing's wrong Charlie", I cursed at myself as I felt my voice slightly break

"Y/N, we've been together for almost 3 years and I think I know you better than anyone. I also know how you are and how you feel like you shouldn't burden anyone with your problems but I'm your boyfriend. It's my responsibility to keep you happy, especially because you keep me happy Y/N. I love you so much and you mean more than the world to me. Please talk to me Y/N", I then hear his voice break at the end

My heart sinks and I give in.

"Okay. I'm sorry for keeping this from you. My depression is back. I miss you so much Charlie, and don't get me wrong, I'm beyond proud of you. You deserve all the praise for Voicenotes, I know you worked really hard on it and I want you to enjoy every last minute of this tour. I just didn't want you wasting time on your tour, worrying about me" I say, somehow feeling better, having said it to him

"First of all, don't be sorry. I know you had the best interests at heart. Second of all, thinking of you or worrying about you is not wasting my time Y/N. You're the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, and your well-being is something I always worry about, and it's normal. When someone means that much to you, you're going to worry about them regardless. Y/N, I probably wouldn't even be on this tour if it wasn't for you. You make me the happiest man alive, and you're the reason I write songs at all. Sure tour is amazing and I love it, but it wouldn't mean anything if I didn't have you to come home to.", he finishes and I feel myself sniffling.

"Y/N, are you okay?", he asks me

"Yeah, I'm fine", I say

"But you're crying-" he starts but I quickly cut him off

"They're happy tears Charlie, I didn't know all of that. I love you so much", I smile and wipe my eyes

"I love you Y/N", Charlie says

I look at the clock on the living room, "I'll let you go, I know it's almost two in the morning. Get your rest babe", I say to him

"Are you sure? I don't mind staying up a little bit longer", he offers

"No it's okay. I actually feel better, thank you.", I say, telling the truth

"Okay I'll talk to you tomorrow baby, I love you", he says.

"I love you", I say, then hang up

After having a better sleep than usual, I get up from bed and stretch.

I fix my hair, brush my teeth and wash my face, then head downstairs. I turn on the TV and I walk to the kitchen, which is connected to the living room and I start to look through the fridge.

Then the doorbell rings

I face that direction and I feel myself raise my eyebrow.

Who could that be?

I start walking to the door, "Coming!" I yell

I open the door and what, or who, I see makes me cover my mouth as my eyes start to over flood with tears.

"Hey Y/N", it's Charlie, with his suitcase next to him and a single rose in his other hand

"Charlie..", I cry. I hug him tightly, not wanting to let go. I start to sob into his neck.

"I missed you so much. Wait, what about tour?" I ask, not letting go

"I decided to reschedule some tour dates. I also put some breaks within a number of concerts so I can take a break and come be with you for a while. I missed you too baby", he says, hugging me back

"Thank you for coming Charlie", I smile

"I'm only one call away", he says into my hair, smiling

{ okay, I actually love this one 🤧 hope you guys did too 💕💕💕 }
