----------------
I place my phone next to me and exhale staring up at the ceiling.

Today my band and I are kicking off our tour for our brand new album. The concert is in a few hours and I can't stop thinking about a song that I have to play.

Those eyes. It's a song I wrote about my ex girlfriend Hailee while we were still together. The song was alway meaningful for me to perform and for us to listen together.

Of course it doesn't help that she broke up with me just before this tour. She said that the distance would be too much for us and that we wouldn't work. Which to be honest I totally disagree with since she went on tour during our two year relationship and nothing changed.

"Thinking about Hailee again?" My band member Aisha asks as she enters the room

Snapping out of my trance I smile at her sighing "yeah"

"Go on tell me what's up?" She takes a seat next to me on the couch

"The song I don't--I don't think I can perform it" I sigh turning my head sideways to face her

"You don't have too" Aisha smiles

"Yeah I do. That is our most liked song on the album, and I think people that paid to be here deserve to hear the full album" I say sighing again

"Yeah but if it makes you uncomfortable you don't have to" Aisha says putting her hand over mine

"I'm not uncomfortable it's just that--" I pause feeling tears pull in my eyes "It reminds me of her-" I let a few tears slip down my cheeks "and I can't think about her--because everytime I do this happens" I laugh through tears, wiping a couple away

"Yeah I get that" Aisha smiles in a sympathetic way

"I never thought break ups would be this hard" I say

"They are only hard if you really loved the person you were with. And you really loved Hailee" Aisha says

"Love"

"Hm?" Aisha hums confusingly

"Not loved..." I pause "I love her. I never stopped loving her and I never will"

"Y/n..." Aisha sighs "You know y--"

"Guys rehearsal now!" Steve shouts passing next to Aisha and me

"We better get going" I sigh wiping the remaining tears from my cheeks and getting up

"Y/n" Aisha tugs my arm and I look down at her

"We need to go Aisha" I sternly say trying to avoid the conversation she wants to have. I tug my arm out of her grasp and leave the room.
----------------
I look down at the microphone in my hand just as we are about to go on stage. Noticing the bracelet on my wrist I smile. Hailee gave me this bracelet as a good luck charm whenever I perform. 

After the breakup I couldn't throw it away so I kept it, and I wear it everytime I perform.

My band and I rush to the stage as we hear the melody for the first song begin.
-----------------
It's the end of the concert now and we are at the end of the album. Which means Those Eyes is the next song we play.

I take a step forward to the microphone at the front as the melody begins. Taking a deep breath and glancing at Aisha who smiles at me I begin singing.

When we're out in a crowd laughing loud
And nobody knows why
When we're lost at a club, getting drunk
And you give me that smile
Going home in the back of a car
And your hand touches mine
When we're done making love
And you look up and give me those eyes
'Cause all of the small things that you do
Are what remind me why I fell for you
And when we're apart, and I'm missing you
I close my eyes and all I see is you
And the small things you do
When you call me at night while you're out
Getting high with your friends (high with your friends)
Every "hi", every "bye", every "I love you" you've ever said
(You've ever said)
'Cause all of the small things that you do
Are what remind me why I fell for you
And when we're apart, and I'm missing you
I close my eyes and all I see is you
And the small things you do
When we're done making love
And you look up and give me those eyes
'Cause all of the small things that you do
Are what remind me why I fell for you
And when we're apart, and I'm missing you
I close my eyes and all I see is you
And the small things you do
All the small things you do

The song ends and tears stream down my cheeks. My voice cracked at the last lyric.

I look up with tears in my eyes at the crowd. They applaud chanting my name. Smiling at them my band and I wave exiting the stage.

"Fuck" I sigh wiping my tears away

"You good?" Aisha asks

"Yeah--that was hard, but I'm fine" I shake my head

"Go get some sleep Y/n....we'll talk in the morning" She smiles at me before walking away

I make my way to the trailer I'm staying in. As I'm walking I scroll through TikTok, already seeing a bunch of posts from tonight.

I stop at one of the tiktoks. It shows the stage as I'm singing the last part of those eyes. The camera focusing on me and it ends shortly after the song. The caption reads: Y/ns voice cracked while singing a song about Hailee🥺🥺 I miss those two

Sighing I turn off my phone and enter the trailer.

"Y/n?" I hear as I enter the trailer. I jump my heart beat increasing as I turn around. I don't know who I was expecting but it definetley wasn't her.

"Hailee?" I say taking in her presence. She's wearing blue jeans with a t-shirt that has my bands name in the middle. Was she at the concert? "Wh-what are you doing here?"

"I-I need to talk to you" She answers, standing up from the couch

"Hailee--there is nothing to talk about" I sigh shrugging my shoulders

"Y/n I was at the concert..." She says making me look at her "I saw the way you sang 'those eyes'"

"Okay and?" I coldly reply

"I made a mistake Y/n.. a huge fucking mistake" She says with a shaky voice. I cross my arms trying to play it off and fighting the tears that are forming in my eyes.

"Really?" I sarcastically say

"Yeah I did" Hailee chuckles at the sarcastic tone in my voice "I'm sorry I shouldn't have never broken up with you--I-there was no excuse to do that I just I can't do this without you"

"Do what without me?" I cut her off seeing tears build up in her eyes

"I can't act or sing without you---I can't write without you and I-I can't live without you. I need you Y/n...I fucking need you" Hailee expresses tears rolling down her cheeks. I take a step closer to her. My hands cupping up her face and brushing her tears away.

She looks at me with those eyes, those damn eyes. A smile tugging on her lips as she leans into my touch. I smile letting a few of my own tears fall down.

The air in the room is suddenly as light as a feather. The need and want is suddenly fulfilled as her lips press against mine.

Her soft lips move in sync with mine as we kiss slowly. The time feels like it's slowed down as we tumble through the trailer.

She guides my waist through the archway to the bed. I slip my hands under her shirt feeling the soft skin I've missed.

Her hands gently lay me down on the bed. Before climbing on the bed she takes of her shirt smirking at me. She licks her lips before straddling my waist kissing my lips again.

My lips part slightly allowing her to deepen the kiss. She slips her tongue in as we kiss. I trail my hands down to her bare waist caressing it softly. She sighs in my mouth making me smirk.

She breaks the kiss trailing the kisses down my jaw to my neck stopping before my shirt.

"Can I?" She asks fiddling with the shirt

"Yes" I say sitting up a little bit so she can pull my shirt off. She smirks flipping her hair to one side before attaching them to my neck again. I tangle my fingers in her hair soft moans escaping my mouth.

"Are you sure?" Hailee whispers trailing her hands down to the zipper of my jeans

"Yes" I smile kissing her again

Let's just say after that night we never ever got separated. The break up was behind and our relationship has never been stronger.
