Alright chicas, Iheard the song "I Miss You" by Incubus, and the lyrics really struck me and boom, out of it came a lot of inspiration, that could've become a long fic but noooo, it's late overhere, so I decided to make it a song-fic instead. The lyrics for the song is written in italic. Do enjoy and comment&review, please, I'm quite proud of this one. Plus, if you don't know the song, give it a listen. It's beautiful :) <3
Joe awoke, but kept his eyes closed, thinking that if he wished really hard, she’d be there. Her. The girl he loved. Half hoping, he opened his eyes, only to feel the usual stab of disappointment. His bed was, apart from himself, empty. Joe sighed deeply, remembering that morning. She had crashed in his bed after hanging out with him and his brothers. He smiled by the memory of that evening. Frankie loved her, just one more reason to ask her around. Suddenly it had been late, and she didn’t bother driving home. He had offered her the couch, but somehow she had ended up in his bed. Nothing had happened; they had just talked until they fell asleep. The next morning he woke up first, lying there looking at her face while she slept. He must have dozed off, though, cause when he opened his eyes again, the spot where she laid was empty. She had left a note on the nightstand explaining that she’d had to leave, but that she’d love to come around some other time. He remembered how gutted he was that he hadn’t been awake when she’d left. Joe sighed again; the mere thought of her made the butterflies in his stomach flutter. He loved her. But she would probably never feel the same.
To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said
I miss you
Joe’s phone flashed, signalling a text message. It was from Kevin, his brother, asking if he was ready for the interview later. He sent a quick reply, the stopped in his tracks. His eyes caught a picture on his phone. It was of her from that night, sleeping. He’d taken it when she fell asleep before him. He smiled, feeling the well-known rush. He laid down on his bed again. He could still sense her scent on his pillow. Joe smiled, inhaling her scent deeply. It was amazing how strong it still was, even after ten days. He sighed. Ten long days without her. Only a text message now and again. He and his brothers had a tight schedule, he was aware of that. He just hated not being able to spend more time with her. He knew he’d see her again, of course he would, she was also a good friend of his brothers. The question was just if she’d be around sooner or later. He really hoped for sooner…. A rapid knock on his door ripped him out of his thoughts. "Yes?" he replied. The door opened, and Nick’s head popped through the opening. "Hey, I just thought you should know that the interview has been cancelled. The host has called in sick, so we have the day off." He said. Joe nodded and replied "Okay, thanks man," with a smile. His brother looked at him with a concerned face. "Joe, are you okay?" he asked, now entering the room fully. "Yeah man, I’m fine," Joe lied. They both knew he was slowly wasting away without her around. Nick nodded. "Alright, just catch me if you wanna talk, yeah?" he said, halfway out the door again. Joe nodded, "Thanks man," The door closed again. Joe thought for a moment, then smiled and grabbed his phone. He sent her a text saying; Hey, I’ve got the day off, wanna hang out? x He only had to wait a few minutes, then his phones flashed again, signalling a message. It read; Sure thing, @ urs? And what time? x He texted back that she could come around whenever she was ready then ran to the shower to get ready himself. As he came back from the shower, he had received a text message. It was from her. It said; I can hardly wait, see you in a bit. xx Joe smiled to himself. Today, he had to tell her how he felt. That he loved her. That he cared for her. And especially that he’d missed her.
Oh, how he missed her.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
And I miss you
There. Please tell me what you think :)
