I stir in my sleep, waking up to a familiar buzzing sound. I turn over slightly and take my phone from the night stand reading a text from Greg, saying he's out in the parking lot. I slowly get up careful not to wake Lauren. I slip on a t-shirt and sweatpants before walking outside.
"Thank you so much for helping." I tell him.
"You're lucky you've got a brother like me" Greg chuckles. "I might be able to fix this car enough for you to drive it back to the shop you got it out of, but please don't take it out again." he continues.
"I promise, definitely." I say truthfully.
I lift the hood of the car up and help Greg fix it. It takes a few hours but we get it done. I thank him again and walk back into the motel room seeing Lauren still sound asleep. I walk into the bathroom and take a shower. After washing, I get out and get dressed in jeans and t-shirt. I walk out of the bathroom seeing Lauren still passed out. I walk over to her, kiss her cheek and rub her back.
"Lauren, princess."
"Hmm?" she stirs, still asleep.
"You're gonna sleep your day away, darlin'. It's already 1:30 in the afternoon." I say, moving a piece of hair out of her face. She slowly sits up and looks at me.
"Gosh, I feel like I haven't slept in months." she says, yawning and stretching her arms out.
"Go get a shower to wake you up and we'll get back on the road. You can sleep on the way if you'd like." I say, kissing her cheek as she nods and walks into the bathroom. I lay in bed and scroll on my phone waiting for her to come out. Half an hour later she walks out with light make up, her hair in a messy bun, one of my t-shirts and shorts.
"Gorgeous as ever" I say as I pull her close to me, pressing my lips to hers.
We grab our things and walk out to the car, putting our bags in the back. We get in and pull onto the road. She lays her head against the window and instantly falls asleep. I turn the radio up slightly and smile at the music that fills the car.
Moving too fast
Moon is lighting up her skin.
She's fallin', doesn't even know it yet.
Hours pass, and I pull into the shop I took the car from. I get our bags and put them into the SUV, before picking her up and laying her in the back seat, her head on my lap. We drive for a while before pulling into the driveway of my flat. I kiss her head and shake her lightly.
"Babe, we're home." I whisper in her ear. She slowly sits up and looks around.
"What time is it?" she asks
"Nearly 7 o'clock in the afternoon. We're gonna stay here for the night and I'll fly you back out to America in the morning." I tell her.
"I don't want to leave. Can't I just stay with you?" she asks.
"That sounds almost perfect, Princess but you're not 18 yet." I inform her.
"I wish age didn't matter, I should be able to stay with you and go on tour with you if I want to." She gripes.
"I know sweet girl but unfortunately that's not how it works. Now come on, let's go have a nice dinner, maybe watch a movie and go to bed." I tell her and she nods.
I grab our things and walk inside the house, setting everything down upstairs in my room. I walk back down and into the kitchen, getting supplies out to cook with.
"What movie do you wanna watch?" Lauren asks from the living room, I turn around to see she's starting Netflix on the TV.
"How about we watch a horror movie?" I ask, laughing at her expression.
"Hey, I'll be here all night to protect you." I reassure her and she sighs.
"I guess. But only this once." she says and I nod. She looks through the horror movies as I finish up cooking. I put the cooked food on plates and walk into the living room, giving Lauren her plate. I sit down next to her as she clicks play on the movie.
We finish our food and I throw our plates away, returning back to the couch and cuddling with Lauren. She cuddles close to me, hiding her face in my chest. I chuckle and comb my fingers through her hair. She falls asleep when the movie is almost over, I turn the TV off and carry her up to the bedroom. I lay her down, and change into sweatpants. I pull her shorts off so she's more comfortable before getting into bed beside her and holding her close to me. I turn the lamp off, and fall asleep.
*The Next Morning*
"I can't believe the week is already over." Lauren says, putting her things into her suitcase.
"I know. This will be the last I see of you until the end of the tour. As soon as it's over I promise you're the first person I'll come back to." I say, looking into her eyes, holding onto her waist.
"Hey, I'll see you in August remember?" she giggles and I smile.
"How could I forget? You still have those concert tickets. Well, until then I will Skype and call you nearly everyday. And when the day of that concert comes, I'll scan the crowd looking for you." I tell her.
"F2, don't forget" she winks with a smile and gives me a kiss.
"Promise, I won't. Now let's go. As much as I want you to miss your flight, it wouldn't be right." I tell her and she nods with a sigh. I help her with her bags and drive her to the airport. I walk with her inside and stand with her at the gate.
"Call me when you land?" I ask and she nods.
She drops her things and wraps her arms around me, as I do the same for her. I rub her back and close my eyes. They start calling for her flight, making me let go. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes, making tears form in mine. I wipe a tear away that falls down her cheek.
"Don't cry princess. I'll see you soon." I whisper, I lean down and kiss her passionately before they call her flight again.
She kisses me once more before picking up her bags and walking to her flight. I sit at the window for a while before watching the plane she's on, fly back to America. Taking her home to Pennsylvania.
