Apathetic |[D.S]| 1

48. wish you were here

These thoughts in my head take control
But when I'm down I beg for more
I beg for more
And I've been thinking about you all night
...

Lou's POV

"Do you want some?" Daniel asks me while I yawn looking at his ham, cheese, and egg sandwich from the Starbucks we just got.

"One bite," I smile as Daniel places his food in front of my mouth and I take a bite out of it and then take a sip from my drink. It's four a.m and Daniel wanted to get to the airport early since his flight went off at five-thirty.

"Wait you have some crumbs on your cheek," Daniel says pushing his thumb on my cheek and motioning it towards my lip. I lick his thumb in the process and Daniel chuckles.

"That's really good," I grin taking another gulp of my drink that's trying to keep me awake at the moment. I spent yesterday with Daniel just sitting on his couch and watching movies, he fell asleep early and I decided to clean up his colorful clothes on the floor of his bedroom finally taking in his room.

The white silk sheets with two dark black nightstands on either side of the bed. Daniel didn't exactly tell me the reason he was going to California but I don't want to push it. We agreed to let this escalate slowly and see where it goes at a normal and behind pace.

"You get back on the 12th right-

My phone buzzes on the table where we are sitting. I flip it over almost rolling my eyes at the name on the phone.

"Yes, mom?" I question that almost sounds more annoyed then it should. I fix the blanket around my lap as she begins to speak to me.

"I wanted to apologize for my behavior towards you lately. You are right about me always blabbering on about myself and not worrying about you much anymore. So I'm sorry and I also have news about me moving to New York."

"New York?" I ask, this time sounding a bit more concerned. Even enough to make Daniel's eyes lock onto mine.

"Yes, I got a job promotion from my boss. There is a celebration for New Years where things will be announced. I was wondering if you wanted to attend it with me? They even have a singing booth so if you wanted to sing there you can?" She asks and I nod to myself causing a scared look to cross Daniel's face.

"Sounds good. It is on New Year's Eve?" I ask and she replies with a steady yes, telling me that she needs help moving out of her apartment in the city down in North Carolina.

"I'll be there soon...why are you up at this hour?" I ask her.

"I could really sleep because I have to move out by the end of the week and I haven't told anyone yet. I'm worried about you Lou. Why are you up at four in the morning?" My mother asks and my cheeks turn red as I look at Daniel.

"Umm...I am dropping off my boyfriend...at the airport?" My statement comes out as more of a question as I watch Daniel poke up, pointing to his chest mouthing "me?" then trying to look behind him as if I were talking about someone else making me laugh.

"Boyfriend?" My mom enquires sounding shocked.

"Yes," I clear my throat, "I'll see you at eight?"
