"The boys and I head back to the studio in 3 days. We’ll be gone for a month, if not longer." he says as he looks away from you. “This is your home now so you’ll stay here. I’ll call you, text you, skype you, anything until the day I get back. It’ll be a Saturday morning so we can go out to eat that night. Okay?" smiling he moves closer to you.
"Austin, I want you to promise me something for while you’re gone."
"Anything sweetie." he says as he brushes the hair away from your face.
"Promise me that if you guys go out you won’t do anything stupid."
"I promise," he says as he leans in and kisses you. “We’ve got three days until I leave. Let’s make them perfect."
Grabbing your hand he leads you towards the bathroom. Let’s take a bath he says as he turns the water on. Undressing himself, he watches you as you do the same.

As he steps into the bathtub, he reaches his hand out to grab yours. Sitting down in front of him you lean your head back against the wall to relax.
"I don’t want to leave you." he finally says. “I don’t want to go away and not be able to wake up next to you. You’re not going to be with me and it fucking kills me. You don’t have to worry about me going out and doing stupid things because you’re the only one I want. When I get back we’re going to go out for dinner. Be patient until I get back. Don’t try to rush the days."
Looking up at him, you see a tear streaming down his face.

After the bath, you and Austin go back to the room and lay down.
Facing each other, I see how hurt he really is about leaving. “Babe, we’ve got three days. Okay? Three more days together. Don’t let this stress you out. I will be fine."

TWO DAYS LATER

"Babe…" you hear Austin say as you open your eyes.
"Austin, what’s wrong? What time is it?" you ask as you look over your shoulder to check the alarm clock. “It’s 5:30 in the morning. What’s going on?"
"Today is the last full day we’ll be together." he says as he pulls your body into his. “I love you."
