My knees to my chest, almost curled on the couch facing the window in my living room.
I haven't been out of the house for days, maybe a week, maybe more. I honestly don't know anymore.
The only thing that keeps me sane is the hour-long facetime call I have with Luke every day. I make sure to fix myself up at least an hour before he calls me, in hopes and efforts of faking being ok for a little longer, at least until I visit him on tour in a few weeks, for a few days.
Honestly, my situation is getting out of hand; I've never missed him as much in the prior tours.
I just stare outside the window, blinking slowly as I feel my body giving up on me.
I am tired. Exhausted even.
Even though I spend most of my day sleeping, I can't seem to have any energy at all.
I bring the fuzzy warm blanket over my body, letting myself shut down for a little bit; either way, I have nothing better to do right now.

I wake up from the sound of keys dangling. It is already dark outside and my heart is beating hard, almost outside my chest.
I get up slowly and grab a candle holder from the coffee table, tiptoeing to the door and standing to the side, ready to attack the person that is about to enter my house.
"(Y/N)..." I hear Luke's voice call for me; my ears must be playing games on me.
Until Luke enters the house and I see him, flesh and bones, breathing and standing right in front of me.
I drop the candle holder to the floor and hug him closely, almost breaking into tears as I press my face onto his chest.
"I missed you so much." He breathes out, holding me close as he shuts the door with his foot.
"I missed you more." I state.
"I know, that's why I am here." He chuckles and carries me to the couch after he drops his bag on the floor.
"Why are you here? You are supposed to be on tour. You have shows and interviews and other important stuff to do." I rumble, but Luke shuts me up by kissing me softly.
"You are important too. Don't think for even a second that I couldn't understand that something was off, through Facetime, even. I know you a bit too well to bite that." He smiles at me and strokes my cheek softly. He pulls me in for one more kiss, making my stomach purr excitedly.
"How long are you staying?" I ask, inches apart from him.
"Not long enough. I managed to find a 2-day opening. Don't worry, I didn't cancel anything. We are just going to have a soundcheck on the very last minute before the show." He chuckles and I bite my lip.
"You did that for me?" I ask, my eyes glistening with excitement and adoration for the man sitting right in front of me.
"I would have done so much more for you, babygirl." He states.
I get up from the couch and hold my hand out for him as well.
"Come on. You are not staying long, and I need to soak in every second with you." I announce and he looks at me, smirking.
"Oh, it is not what you think... Well, at least not yet. You are taking me on a date first..." I say and he smiles, standing up and leaning down to pull me in for a kiss.
"Anything my girl wants." He whispers, his lips grazing mine.

We are going to make it.
No doubts about that.
Him and I. We are going to make it.
