~chapter 17~ a week without you

Dixie pov:
As I'm sitting on Noah's lap scrolling through tiktok i get a message from Charli

C: Dix I know your mad at me right now and don't want to talk to me but we really need you over here in Connecticut because we are erm planning dads funeral and we miss you a lot I'm sorry I didn't tell you Dix and I would hate for you not to be here for the funeral the becks are coming the week after you

As I read it my eyes get glassy I think Noah also read it as it came up on my screen I looked up at him and he looked down at me making eyes contact

N: what's up bub

D: so you didn't read that

N: what! I would never invade your privacy like that are you crazy

D: I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come of like that

I say as a tear rolls down my cheek i didn't know why I was crying but this was all overwhelming

N: it's ok baby but what's up

I show him the text message he kisses my head and wraps his arms around me squeezing me tighter

N: that's so sweet of Charli

D: I know but I don't think I want to go to the funeral

N: Dix if you miss this you'll regret it forever I'll be by your side through all of it I promise I'll never let go of you

D: your Right but a week without you

N: bub i promise to ft you every night and I'll go to Arizona with my family it'll be nice you know

D: I guess we should start packing then

N: I guess

I stand up and Noah after me, this was hard as I had only just taken my mind of my dads passing now we have to plan the funeral and do it a week after it was going to be tuff and I hope nothing happens to me during It we pack and sit on the sofa for a while until everyone comes down

A: why is Both of your suitcases here

I look at Noah I know if I tell them I would probably cry

N: well Dixie has to go back to Connecticut to plan Marc's funeral and I'm going back to Arizona and we are all going to Connecticut in a week for the funeral

Addi hugs me and avani joins in after a long hug with them they let go

A+av: I'll see you next week dix i love you

D: I love you both so much

And me and Noah grab our suitcases and walk out chase is driving us to the airport, we put our stuff in the back and get in I sit on Noah's lap and kiss him not wanting to break the kiss he kisses me back making it more aggressive each time, we have now arrived at the airport and we both get out chase drives of as we both wave him bye

N: I guess this is we're I say bye to my cute ass girlfriend bye to my cuddles kisses and movie nights

D: I really don't want to go

N: Dix I promise you will regret not being there after it all happens

He walks up to me and Lightly grabs my cheeks we lock eyes our faces inches away

N: I promise to ft you when I get home I'll text you when I land safe and you better do the same thing because I need to know your safe without me

I smile and my lips lightly touch his soft lips we kiss and hug until both our flights get called we both walk separate ways and this was it we were leaving each other for a week this is the longest we've ever been apart even when we were little kids we were inseparable but now that both of our lives have changed that causes us to grow apart for a while

~time skip to them both landing and are at home~

I finished putting my clothes in my wardrobe until my phone buzzed in my back pocket I take it out and see it's Noah I smile and answer it

~the ft~

N: hey bubs i thought you might of been asleep

D: I am tired but there's a lot of people downstairs sorting the funeral out

N: so why aren't you down there

He says grabbing his phone of his night stand giving me his full attention

D: well they won't care what I have to say and I've never planned anything out not even a birthday party so a funeral is a big so step you know

N: bubba I'm sure they would hear you out at-least so go get involved and I'll call you later baby

D: NOO please stay on ft with me bubs

N: but that's family stuff down there

D: bubs you are family to me

N: I love you baby

D: I love you more

I go downstairs and see Bryce on the couch with his hands on his face I place my phone on the table

D: hold on Noah

I then put the phone on the arm of the couch and sit next to Bryce

D: hey Bryce what's up

B: nothing I'm ok

D: but Bryce you don't look it-

B: DIXIE I SAID IM FUCKING FINE OK SO GO UPSTAIRS OR SOMETHING

My heart sinks I just wanted to see if he was ok and then I get that in return

D: ok I'm sorry

I walk back upstairs and place my phone on my nightstand

N: hey don't beat your self up about it you just wanted to ask and he's stressed out right now

D: when they ask me how I am I don't flip out on them

N: I know babe but it's stressful for them also

D: my mom is downstairs drinking to much Noah I'm scared my family is falling apart they are the only ones I have left

N: I know but you will all get through this and i will help you Charli Bryce and even your mom
