Chapter thirty four - Separation

After three months, in reality, what actually felt like years...I had finished up the first semester of online schooling. It was difficult, studying and still making time for other things. In those three months I haven't physically seen Tom yet.

This saddened me. We Face Time, Skype, text and call but it's not the same. A few weeks ago Tom returned to Kingston for a week. I didn't get to see him due to my exams.

At first we contacted one another everyday but it soon began to slowly stop. We are now at the point where we only contacted one another thrice a weeks or maybe twice.

I'm not going to lie, I really missed Tom. Some nights I stayed awake and wondered that if this continued we'd end our relationship. This was a sad though that kept me up at night crying. I wasn't ready to let go, I want ready to move on, I wasn't ready to stop loving him...

The separation anxiety was getting too much. Without thinking, my body began moving and packing a suitcase of clothing. I then searched for the next flight to America. A ticket out to America was on 13 August, which was in five days time...FIVE DAYS that was too long.

I continued my search and found in boarding in twenty minutes. I quickly booked it without thinking. I grabbed my suitcase and drove to my mother's. She only lived 10 minutes away.

"Mom!" I called out at I rushed into her house with a suitcase and duffel bag in my hand.

"Al, darling?" My mom questions as she walks out of the kitchen, Colton and a crawling Brooke followed in pursuit.

"Aunt Al." Colton says and hugs my legs.

"Please I need you to take me to the airport mum, right now." I say my eyes beginning to tear up.

"Darling are you alright?" My mum asks.

"Yeah, yeah. Please mom. I'll explain all of this later. Just please." I beg wanting to leave already.

"Okay then let's go. Come on Colton." My mom says and picks up Colton.

We drive to the airport and I make it just in time for the last boarding call. I rush towards the gate and take my seat in the aeroplane. I looked out of the window, this is going to be a long flight.

Eventually I fell asleep but I was awoken by the pilot saying that we'd be landing in a few minutes. Once we landed I grabbed my bags and called Tom but I got voicemail. I tried Zendaya's and Jacob's numbers but I was put in voicemail.

Of course it they wouldn't answer Alana, it 3 AM in the morning. Think...maybe I should call an uber and then book a hotel room for the night. I call an uber and we drive to hotel. And just as I was about to do that I got a call from Tom.

I quickly answer the phone and a smile appears on my face. I was finally hearing his voice after 5 days.

"Lana? Is everything okay, love?" Tom's asks in a tired and groggy voice. All I could do is picture him sleepy right now.

"Lana?" Tom says again and snaps me out of my thought.

"Hey Tommy." I say in a dreamlike voice.

"I so missed you calling me that." Tom says and my heart begins leaping.

"Can I sleep over at yours for the next few days?" I asks Tom.

"Yeah, sure. There's a extra pair of keys at my parents home." Tom says and I immediately realise that he thinks I'm talking about his house in Kingston.

"No, I mean in America." I state.

"You're in America?" Tom questions.

"Yeah." I say and bite my bottom lip.

"Babe you're always welcomed here." Tom says and I tell the driver not drive anymore to the hotel but to Tom's home, I give him the address and he turns around.

"Thanks." I say.

"I've missed your voice so much." Tom says.

"And I've missed yours." I say.

After ten minutes we arrived at Tom's home. I get inside and find Tom awaiting patiently by the door. I drop my bags in the lawn and run up to him. I placed a long and passionate kiss on his lips. He kissed back and I felt fireworks.

After the kiss Tom brought my bags inside and placed another kiss on my lips then locked the front door. I then realised that he was...not wearing a shirt...

This guy was going to be the death of me...
