I Can't Stop Drinking About You
Distance
Reagans POV
"Rea," I heard my name and turned.
This time, I was deloghted to see Luke approaching. We were the closest in age growing up, so we were close. Luke and I had lots of classes together too since we were in the upper level ones.
”Hi Luke,” I smiled.
"i missed ya Reagan," He ruffled my hair.
I groaned and waved him off.
“So what's up Lucas?" I asked
He shrugged, “Nothing really, just me and the lads havent seen you in ages!”
”What can i say?" i grinned, "Ive had a busy schedule."
He laughed, “Im so happy you made it Rea! We watched you perform and were so proud,”
i blushed, “aw thanks,”
We hugged.
I giggled and looked up at him, “Did you cry?"
His face screwed up, “men dont cry,”
I spluttered laughter at that, “Last time i checked you didnt even have chest hair,”
He whined, “stop laughing,”
I covered my mouth with my hand, “so did you cry?"
“Maybe,” he muttered.
I giggled and hugged him, “Aw youre too cute Luke,”
“In my defense, we all cried,” he added.
I rolled my eyes playfully, “alrighty there kid,”
We stepped back and he was grinning amusedly.
“So are you staying in Boston long?" he asked.
"only a month, i dont really need to stay, because im still taking my courses online,” i explained.
He tilted his head to the side, “where are you heading off to?"
“Texas,” i answered, “Nicks from there, and were gonna spend time with his family for a week or two, then im off to LA for some performances and interviews and all that shit,”
“Well were gonna be in LA for a bit too, so maybe we can meet up yeah?" he proposed.
“Yeah,” I gave a small smile, “Thatd be nice,”

“Reagan!” Marc called.
i groaned and stumbled down the stairs. we just got home from the garden. What could he possibly want now?
“What?" i snapped tiredly.
He was in the kitchen, standing infront of a beautiful vase of roses. I came closer and examined it for a moment. The vase was simple glass. It had an ornate pattern of swirls in the glass near the top edge of the oppening. There were exactly 7 red roses. it was a very distinct number of roses. Actually, 7 happened to be my most favorite number. It wasnt a secret. The roses were tipped with sprinkles of gold.
I picked one from the vase and held it to my nose. Its sweet fregerence filled my senses and its soft delicate petals tickled the tip of my nose. Yep, these were definitely real.
“Did Nick send you these?" Marc asked.
I shrugged, “I guess, but why would they come so late?"
“I dunno,” Marc yawned, “Im going to bed, but theres a note. I didnt read it,”
I smiled greatfully and nodded. He left and I picked up the note. It was tucked away in and ivory envelope. I pulled it out and there was a handwritten card lined with matching gold edges.
“Reagan,
Do you remember the summer we first met? When we would go to the park? You would make me push you on the swings. I was so nervous around you, because you are the most beautiful girl ive seen. I liked you so much and I didn't think you liked me back. And then Michael dared me to ask you out, and you said yes and you kissed me. That was the best day of my life. All those years went by, and I loved you more and more than I thought possible. I still feel that way. If dropping the band would get you back, I would do it in a heartbeat. I know that right now, things arent the best between us. But Im not giving up on you Rea, youre too special to me. I will never stop loving you, and if you ever need anything, you know that you can come to me.
Love always, Calum"
I didnt know I was crying until afterwards. Little beads of tears dotted the surface of the card. That was the most beautiful thing Ive read. He always knew what to say, and he could say it in the best ways. I looked over and saw a picture in the envelope too. I picked it up and looked at it. It was of us when he was 15 and I was 14.
I remembered this one. it was from the first video we did together. I had my guitar on my lap as we sat together infront of the computer screen. We both turned our heads and were kissing. The picture captured it perfectly.
I brought it upstairs to my room, placing the vase on my vanity and tucking the note into my sock drawer where it wouldnt get ruined. The picture was with it. I crawled under my sheets, completely exhausted, and fell asleep.

“Calum!" I squealed He laughed and pepper my face with soft kisses.
I giggled as I squirmed around in his arms. He stopped and nuzzled his head into my neck. We just laid there for a moment, enjoying the peace and eachothers prsence while we could. I was immediately reminded that he was going to be gone tomorrow.
Tears stung my eyes and dripped down my cheeks before I could stop them. He looked up at me. He saw I was crying and frowned.
“Aw baby, please dont cry,” He pleaded, “I dont want to leave you,”
“I know, Im sorry,” I sighed
“Dont be,” he assured, “and dont worry, no distance is going to keep us apart,”
I nodded, “I love you,”
“I love you too,”
