Emie's POV
After the party things at work got a little uncomfortable Tina was constantly glaring at me and she has stopped feigning politeness In front of anyone but Steve.
"So what did you do to upset T?" Ian asks as he finally decided to confront the tension after an awkward week.
"I honestly don't know, she seemed pretty angry about Cappie, I guess she doesn't think I am good enough for him" I mutter half heartedly
"Ah the boyfriend again, he seems to cause you a lot of trouble. If anything Em you are way too good for him." Ian says in an annoying knowing tone.
"What? don't be ridiculous, he's great, everyone else is the problem. When it's me and him it's perfect it just seems like no one wants us to be happy" I snap at him.
"People want you both to be happy" he tells me with a genuine look of concern
"Yeah well they don't want us to be happy together" I spit angrily
"Maybe they just think you would both be happier with people more suitable" Ian says to his hands
"Fuck sake you mean people closer in age. You're like everyone else" I snap bitterly causing him to look straight at me.
"No I just think you deserve someone who would drop everything for you like you always do for him, age isn't relevant" he says firmly holding my eye contact.
"It's not that easy for him to drop everything, he has commitments" I tell him
"Yeah but then will they always come before you"he asks
"They don't! if I needed him he would be there" I tell him firmly.
"If you say so, I'm just trying to look out for you ok. I'm your friend remember I don't want to see you get hurt" Ian adds reassuringly at the end.
I mutter a half hearted thanks and pack up my things to head home, to the wonderful news that Cappie has to fly out to America for a performance last minute. It's a charity thing that another band had to drop out last minute.

Cappie's POV
"Do you have to go" she begs me from the bed.
"Yeah, just come with me" I tell her
"I can't I have work" she grumbles
"Quit" I say lightly
"I'm not doing this again" she warns me
"I'll just go for one night" I groan shaking my head
"You can't jet lag!" She snaps
"2 nights" I barter
"You're being silly" she laughs at me
"I just want to be with you babe these last few months have been the best." I tell her honestly
"We can survive a few nights I guess." She tells me sadly
"2nights no more, I could just fly back straight after" I tell her
"You haven't all been together in weeks, the guys won't let you come straight home" she tells me accurately "and if you do every one will blame me" also true.
"I would rather be here" I sulk
"I know I will have to tell myself that when girls are falling all over you" she reply sadly
"Babe it's not gonna happen" I tell her, stroking her arms.
"Sorry, it's just the way women throw themselves at you makes me really uncomfortable" she admits sadly not wanting to meet my eye
"Me too babe, the only woman I want to throw herself at me is you" I promise, pulling her eyes up to meet mine.
"When do you have to leave?" She asks sadly
"Tomorrow" I reply bluntly
"I'm gonna miss you" she cries
"Me too babe" I mutter into her hair as I pull her close to me.
I couldn't sleep that night thinking about leaving her here alone it going to be so much worse with the tour coming up. I can't help myself and pull out my phone. Quickly message Benji ignoring the lateness
