AMELIA

The next morning I wake up with a smile on my face. 

I turn over on the bed to snuggle closer to Chris since he isn't holding me anymore. Maybe he moved away during the night. 

When I turn over and the only thing I see is an empty bed, my smile fades. 

He left? 

I sigh and plop my head down on the pillow. 

Why would he just leave without saying anything? 

I try to listen for any movement in the bathroom or the living room, but it's quiet. Deadly quiet. 

I frown when I look towards the window and see how bright it is. What time is it? 

I turn over to my nightstand to check my phone before quickly realizing that it's not there. I get up with a sigh, tiredly making my way into the living room where I find it buried in the couch. 

I grab my phone and check the time, blinking in surprise when I see that it's past 11 am. I don't usually sleep this late, thats odd..

When I see an unread message my smile slowly creeps back on my face as I read it. 

Christopher Sorry I had to leave baby, I had to get to the set really early this morning and you just looked so beautiful sleeping, I couldn't make myself wake you up. Text me when you see this <3 

A heart. He sent a heart. 

He's never sent a heart before. 

I smile widely, giddiness bubbling inside me as I type out my response. 

Amelia Hi! Just woke up. Got really sad when you weren't here :( But your text helped. How's work?

I don't get a response for a few minutes so I decide to go take a shower. If he's on set he's most likely busy shooting so that might be why he's not responding. 

Taylor told me he was off today so Chris must be shooting with someone else. 

As I wash my hair I remind myself to text Taylor once I'm done and check with him if we're doing anything today. 

I towel dry my hair when I get out from the shower and wrap myself in the robe. I sit down on the bed, grab my phone and notice two new messages. 

Tay Hey Ames, text me when you're up! x

Christopher Work sucks today. It's a lot more fun when I get to see you every time Joe and Anthony yells cut

I chuckle at Chris' message. 

I quickly respond to Taylors text, letting him know that I'm up and then I reply to Chris. 

Amelia Aww, I'm sorry, poor baby. Finding it hard to stay motivated?

His response comes much quicker this time. 

Christopher Yes :( I'm gonna need you to be here every day from now on

Amelia Hahaha

Amelia Damn, that sounds like a full time job

Christopher It is! Better get used to it

I chuckle again. 

Amelia Lol you're so needy. Good thing I find it cute

Amelia You on your break?
