Aspen's P.O.V.

Four days, 16 hours, 14 minutes, and 10 seconds ago, Talon went back to California, leaving Nyzie and me behind. Wiping my tears away I stared out the window as Nyzie slept beside me. I stared at the moon...I didn't know who I was supposed to talk to...Rhett or Talon?

My phone began to buzz it was two in the morning who could be calling me now. I quickly pick it up without looking at the caller ID because I didn't want to wake up Nyzaia. "Hello?" I whispered

"Navy?" Talon said quietly, 

my heart skipped a beat licking my lips I say, "What are you doing up so late?"

"I just got back home from a concert, what are you doing up so late?"

I shrugged as if he could see, "I couldn't go to sleep."

"I miss you." 

Letting out a big breath, "I miss you too," I had promised myself I wouldn't fight with him, I wouldn't be rude to him, because in the end, it wasn't his fault. It wasn't my fault, it was just...I don't know. 

"How's Nyzie?"

"She's sleeping, she's been missing you a lot too, keeps asking Nini and Saber when you are coming back."

Talon sighed, "Navy you know-"

"I know...I know you don't know when you'll be back." I said quickly, "How was the concert?"

"Tiring," He said, "My back kills,"

"Painkillers?" I ask, "Have you taken any?"

"Too many to count," Talon admitted, I heard him yawn. 

"Go to bed Talon, I'll call you in the morning." 

"You sure?"

"mhm, then you can talk to Nyzie too."

"Alright, goodnight Navy,"

"Night Talon," I whispered wanting to end the call, but I guess he was in more of a hurry because he cut the phone before I could say I love you to him.

I knew that things wouldn't be the same after he left. I knew that he would be so busy he wouldn't have time for us but somewhere in my heart, I wanted to make it work. 

I wanted us to work, but I guess we weren't meant to work. 

"Penny?" I heard Mylie whispered knocking on the door, "You still up?"

Wiping my tears away I move Nyzie off of my lap before walking over to the door, I open it, "Yeah...what are you still doing up?"

She was holding ice cream and her laptop, "Teen Wolf marathon?"

"My-"

"Come on please?"

Sighing I let her in the room, "Stay quiet though, Nyzie is sleeping."

Mylie settled down on the ground laying our blanket patting the space beside her, letting out a shuttered breath I sit down beside her opening the ice cream tub, "You didn't tell me what you are doing up?"

"I know you aren't feeling well Penny, I know you're hurting, how can I sleep when I know that you aren't?" She said putting on a funny episode. Mylie reached over for her tub and dug in. 

I was trying to pay attention to the episode I swear I was but my mind kept wandering back to Talon. "When do you think he will be back?" I asked her staring down at the chocolate chip ice cream. 

Mylie looked over at me, "Soon, I know he misses you two a lot."

"Do you think I should have gone with him? I mean we would be able to adjust...I-I don't know if I can take him coming back and leaving again. This pattern will kill me."

Mylie turned off her laptop taking the ice cream away from me, "Penny-"

"No! I can't do this...I can't wait and sit around for him, only for him to leave not knowing when he is going to be back Mylie."

"Penny calm down," She whispered, "It hasn't even been a week. You have to fight for him like she's fighting for you over there. Jax had texted me saying that the management and he got in a huge argument over you. He wanted to come back, or at least set a time. You have to trust him."

"I do trust him."

"Then trust in your love."

Breaking down in her arms I let out all my frustration, all my anger, everything. I love you Talon. 

Talon's P.O.V.

Staring at my hotel room ceiling I graoned throwing off my covers, I looked over at the window staring at the moon. Sometimes I wanted to drop everything and run back to Navy. 

I hated being alone hee, I wanted her with me, I wanted Nyzie with me but the management is still controlling my fucking life. Six more years of this fucking contract then I'm gone. I'm going to run back into her arms. 

Looking down at my phone I wanted to call her again but she seemed tired, restless, I didn't want to hurt her more than I already did. 

I wonder how she's handling Nyzie, she was crying a lot when I left...as soon as I got into the car I broke down myself. 

Wiping a tear away I angrily looked up at the moon, "Why the fuck did you have to make us fall in love if you were never going to let us be together?! Why did you bring her into my life? Why did you send me back? Why?!" I yelled, "I don't want to be alone anymore, I want to go back to my family in Atlanta. I want to be there for Navy and Nyzie."

Punching the wall beside me I cut my hand hissing I shake my hand trying to get rid of the pain, there was no one around to help. Jax was sleeping in the connecting room, if Navy was here she would have grabbed my hand angrily and dressed it. 

If she was here I would be happy, not miserable. 

Not a lot of people know that once you get to the top, you don't feel anything...no happiness, no sadness...you just feel numb...I felt numb.
