Let Me Go

Tour

*Hayden's POV*

This tour has been bigger than I thought it was going to be. So far, all but two shows have been sold out. My baby is gaining traction in her career and it's amazing seeing her succeed.

Claudia is hanging back in the booth with me while I run the on screen graphics for the show. "So Finn and I decided to push the wedding back another couple of months. Still sticking with the gold detailing for the wedding though, that was a brilliant idea." she says.

"Yeah, when's the new date?" I ask.

"We're thinking sometime in July."

"Really? You know I actually met Billie in May after I graduated college. She was such a pain in the ass back then, still is to be honest. It's hard to believe that this coming May it will be two years together." I say reminiscing.

"Damn girl, when are you gonna propose?" she nudges me softly.

I shake my head, "I don't know. I caught myself looking at engagement rings awhile back. I just- I'm scared." I say honestly.

"Well that's the point, if it doesn't scare you that you might lose someone at any given second, then they're not the one."

I hum a reply. She's right though. I'm not scared to marry her, I'm scared I'll lose her. As the song changes, I switch the visuals and the crowd goes wild. I could say that this is all me, but it's not, it's all Billie. Artistically we're so in tune with each other it's easy for me to take the little things she says and turn them into a fleshed out piece.

Billie gives her all every time she performs, but I can tell it's weighing on her again. She's been kind of distant lately and I've been giving her space to just relax, unless I'm helping her relax. In that case there's minimal space between us.

On tonight's episode of overworked Billie she's a snappy little shit.

"Come on baby let me make you feel good," I whisper in her ear as I grip her hips.

She smacks my hands off of her, "Not in the mood."

"Alright, I guess I'll head down to the pool for a bit, give you some space." I tell her. She just hums in reply. True to my word, i put on my swim suit and spend an hour relaxing at the pool.

Upon my return I hear the shower running. I knock on the door and peek my head into the bathroom. "Can I join you and wash this chlorine off?" I ask softly.

"Sure angel," she replies.

I strip off my swim suit and join her in the steaming shower.

"I'm sorry I was short with you earlier angel, I didn't mean to snap at you," she says wrapping her arms around my waist, gripping handfuls of my ass. I know she's trying to make up for dodging me earlier, but homegirl isn't having it. I gently kiss her forehead and grab the bottle of shampoo beside me, pouring some into my hand.

"Just relax Billie and let me take care of you," I say as I lather the shampoo through her hair. She closes her eyes and enjoys the feeling of her scalp being massaged. She rinses her hair and washes mine for me, not exactly what I had in mind for taking care of her but she wouldn't take no for an answer.

Once we're clean she steps out of the shower and wraps a towel around her body, using another one to semi-dry her hair and honestly I do the same.

Billie starts to pull out some clothes but I stop her, "Don't get dressed yet. Just, lay down on your stomach." I say pulling out a bottle of lotion.

Wordlessly, she listens, which means she's mentally checked out. I straddle her and squirt some lotion in the palm of my hand, warming it up before placing my hands on her back. I start on her shoulders working the tightness out of them, and she moans in response. I rub my fingers deeply down the length of her spine and her muscles twitch when I hit a certain spot. I take my time kneading out the knot until her muscles relax. I rub my hands over the rest of her back, releasing the tension.

"Mmm thank you angel, that was amazing." she says in a sleepy voice. I place a kiss on her shoulder before hopping off of her and putting the lotion away. I crawl back into bed lying next to her hearing the cute little snores escape her lips.

"Broooooo I'm so hype this is the last day of tour. By the way we're having a party when we get home, fuck sleep!" Billie shouts through the room.

I groan, "Ok fine, that's only ok if you stop interrupting my sleep right now." I turn over in the bed and try to fall back to sleep.

"Bet." I can hear her smirk even in one syllable words.

I was actually kind of excited to throw a party with Billie seeing as the last one went really well. The only thing I wasn't prepared for when we went home was the phone call I'd walk in on that I honestly wished I hadn't.

a/n: I'm thinking this is the next to last chapter... still unsure. Would you guys want a sequel? Lmk.
