A Daydream Away
Chapter 10
Since we went on tour it meant i only had a few more weeks until i started college. I got this knot in my stomach anytime i thought about it. I almost wanted to throw up. I spent most of my days doing the same thing hanging out with Alex, watching movies, snuggling on the couch, going out for dinner and to parties. It was the best summer of my life so far. My life was perfect, i was in some kind of dream world where nothing mattered outside my life. On odd days I would go shopping with my mum so she could buy me new clothes, shoes, bags anything I saw I liked. She got my hair and nails done and found me an amazing apartment in New York the only bad thing was that i had to share it with someone. She said she was nice, a girl she works with daughter. I was a anxious, well wouldn’t you be sharing an apartment with someone you didn’t know in a strange person. The nervousness was making me a little quieter than usual and Alex noticed.
“What’s wrong babe? You’ve been really sad recently. Is it new York?” Alex asked one day when we were cuddling on the couch watching Harry Potter.
“I just don’t want to leave here in a few days. I thought i missed you guys when you were on tour. I will be gone for 4 years only seeing you on holidays and when you visit whilst on tour. It’s scary Alex! I’ve just got you all to myself and now i have to leave you!” My vision became blurry from the water that was slowly filling them and falling down my cheeks. Alex just pulled me closer to him and tilted my head to look into those eyes of his.
“I promise you Lacey that you are not going to lose me. You can’t get rid of me that easily, so stop worrying about it because in a few years you will be a big shot journo and i will still be a rockstar hopefully.” He grinned. He could always make me feel better. That was one of the many things i loved about him. He had his flaws don’t get me wrong but they were far outnumbered by his strengths.
“Good because I love you Alex William Gaskarth” I tapped his nose and gently kissed his lips.
“I love you too Lacey Dawson. Although it does totally suck you don’t have a middle name. From now on i will call you Lacey Jeremy Dawson!” He smirked.
I gave him a what- the- hell look and he just shrugged “Jeremy? That the best you could do babe?”
“Shut-up and watch Harry” He kissed the top of my head.
The next few days i spent it packing for New York, mostly crying at all of my stuff in boxes. Alex helped but had to go do “Band Stuff” which I think is just them playing the WII or eating. Once my last few items were in the last box i sighed loudly and fell on my bed. “Why do i have to leave?” I muttered
I didn’t want Alex to drop me off at the airport as i wasn’t sure i could leave him. I didn’t want the emotional goodbyes. My flight was at 5am and poor Alex looked worn-out. He had on his black skinnies, a white V-neck a black hoodie and beanie. Although he said he was fine to take me i could see him rubbing his tired eyes and yawning when he thought i wasn’t looking. He looked so adorable when he's tired.
“Flight 4453 to New York is now boarding” This was the one sentence i had dreaded hearing all summer. That meant that i had to leave and there was no turning back.
“That’s your flight ain’t it?” Alex asked with his hands around my waist and my head on his chest. I nodded.”Well let’s get you to the gate gorgeous.” He half smiled.
“I don’t want to go Alex. I want to stay here!”
“Babe i don’t want you to go either believe me but you have to. I won’t let you give up your dreams of being a journalist for me.”
“What if i want to and you have no choice in it.” I stomped my foot like a child.
He giggled “If i have to carry you onto that plane then i will even if you’re kicking and screaming. I will see you soon and talk to you everyday i promise my love.”
“You better. I’ll miss you Alex, I’ll miss you like hell.”
“I know you will, i’ll miss you too Lace. Now come here!”
I did as i was told and gave him the tightest hug ever as if it was the last time i would ever see him again but i couldn’t bring myself to let go of him. I leaned up and kissed him with as much passion as when we first kissed.
“This is a final boarding call for all passengers travelling on flight 4453 to New York”
“Babe you really have to go.” I looked into his sad eyes and got one last kiss before i had to leave.
“Bye Lex I love you!’ I ran to the gate to hear
“I LOVE YOU TOO LACE “ being yelled and Alex smiling at me. I could tell he was trying to be strong for me because if he broke down there was no way in hell of me going anywhere.
I arrived at my apartment which was lovely by the way my mum did good. I just wanted to lie in bed all day and mope around plus i could really use some sleep. I got to my bedroom which was already painted purple and turquoise my favourite colours and lay on the big double bed. I instantly began to cry as I would have to go to sleep alone the first time i had done this since me and Alex got together. I cried myself to sleep listening to his soothing voice on my ipod. At least he would be with me in one way right?
