I awoke to the sunlight shining through the curtains onto my face, as well as the sound of Josh grunting as he rolled out of the bed. I rolled over and looked at the clock; it was just going on 6am. Rachel had decided to stay the night, I glanced over at them and they still laid sound asleep, snuggled together.
Josh walked over to the mini fridge and pulled out a beer before he walked out to the balcony, dressed only in his boxers. I sighed softly knowing what today was and got out of bed, grabbing his shirt from the floor and putting it on before joining him on the balcony.
"Good morning," I said and stood against the wall, watching him sit there, drinking his beer.
"Good morning, love." He smiled softly and reached out for my hand. I took his hand and he pulled me closer to him before pulling me down onto his lap.
We sat there in silence for a while, just watching the sun come out, holding hands and cuddling. No words were said because there really wasn't much to say. I would have to drive them to the airport today and count down the days until I could see him again.
We sat there for what seemed like hours before Max appeared at the balcony door.
"Nearly 6:30, we should pack and eat breakfast. Be on the road to the airport by 7:30. Try and beat the rush." Max said, almost in a whisper as he walked back into the hotel room.
I got off of Josh's lap and walked back into the room with him. I helped him pack up all of his things. Rachel was wake now, showering with Max and when they were done she helped him pack. When everything was finished, we all went down to put the bags in the car before heading back in for the complimentary breakfast.
Before long we were on the road to the airport.
-2 HOURS LATER-
The traffic was a little crazy on the way to Toronto but we made it there by 9:45. The boys were due to catch their flight round 10:30. We helped them on pack their things from the car and get everything situated for their flight before walking them to the lobby. We could only take them so far because they would have to go through security.
Josh and I stopped and looked at each other.
"I'll call you every day you know. I love you so much and I'll miss you a lot. We'll be together soon." Josh said as he put his forehead against mine, wrapping his arms around my waist.
I took a deep breath to try and calm myself down before I spoke.
"You better call me" I laughed lightly and poked him. "I love you too." I said and kissed him softly.
We all said our goodbyes and then eventually Rachel and I drove back home.
JOSH'S POINT OF VIEW.
I've been home for two days and they have been the longest two days of my life. I have no idea how I lived my life before Sia, I miss her too much. The nights are harder, as I toss and turn in my bed. My dreams are all about her.
I walked around my house in silence; my family stared at me like I was a zombie. I ended up sitting at the kitchen table with a beer, staring at the picture of me and Sia on my phone.
"Instead of sitting around moping, why don't you just call the girl?" my sister Elissa said as she placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Hearing her voice makes it okay for a while, but I'm like lost without her here." I said and looked up at her.
"You knew this would be tough when you got into it and I know you'll make it work. You're not one to give up on the things you love brother. Just call her or Skype her. "She said and kissed my head before walking away.
My sister always had a way of saying the right thing to cheer me up. I knew Sia was what I wanted in my life and I would do anything to have her forever.
I walked back downstairs to my bedroom and turned on my laptop. I noticed she was on Skype and I clicked on her name, pressing call.
Her face showed up on my screen instantly, like she didn't even hesitate to accept my call. I smiled at looked at her.
"Hi babe," I said softly and looked down like a nervous school boy.
"Hi!" She smiled sweetly. She looked perfect.
"I wanted to see your face, I miss you." I spoke honestly and looked at her.
We spent the next thirty minutes talking about things that would seem unimportant to many people but it was important to be because she was there. Eventually we both fell asleep together on Skype. I could have watched her sleep forever and hopefully I would.
