Willie and Alex One Shots (Willex)

A Song for You pt. 1

This is sorta set before the oneshot "Back Home to Him" but it will have an alternate ending so stay tuned for that:) It is before Alex is getting ready to go on tour with the band.

Alex's POV

There were many months leading up to this moment. The one here. The one I dreaded but was also excited about. We were going on tour. But... I have to leave Willie behind. I didn't want to do that. Neither one of us wanted to leave the other.

I took my bags and set them by the door to my apartment. My songwriting notebook was sitting on the table next to the door. I had almost forgotten it. I flipped through the pages and found where I had written a song about Willie. I tore it out and then shoved my songbook into my bookbag. Willie walked up to me, hands in his pockets, looking sad.

"Baby," I said, trying to get his attention knowing we were both dreading this moment.

Willie wouldn't make eye contact with me. I think we both knew if he did, we'd both start crying.

I held out the piece of paper I had folded up.

Willie took it and looked up at me, trying to steady his breaths. "What's this?"

"Um... it's a song I had started writing the first day we met. I uh... I would add a little every day and now it's that. I never really put a beat or melody to it so it's kinda just a story 'cause nothing in it really rhymes." I looked down at the ground. "I just thought I'd give it to you since I can't be here to play music for you. You can read it when you miss me or whatever."

Willie stepped closer to me and lifted my chin with his finger. A single tear fell down his cheek.

"Thank you and I will." He said, softly smiling.

We had one last kiss before I left and we hugged for what seemed like forever. I kinda wish it was. I didn't want to leave Willie and he didn't want to leave me.

I finally did have to leave because Luke was picking me up to take me to the studio. I said my goodbyes to Willie and I left.
