Letting out a deep sigh, আপনি rub your temples in frustration. Your father had just called আপনি to tell আপনি that your mom had been admitted to the hospital because of a serious cough she had gotten. আপনি are currently on tour with your boyfriend, Justin, and আপনি can’t do anything about it. Your phone beeps and আপনি receive yet another ‘are আপনি okay?’ text from one of your cousins who had obviously also gotten the message. আপনি let out a small shriek, wanting to just fall asleep and forget everything. আপনি and your mom had always been close but আপনি had recently started talking less when আপনি had gone to visit Justin for a couple of months while he was on tour. It wasn’t that your mom loved আপনি less for visiting him, rather the opposite. She was proud of আপনি and Justin and your relationship with him. She was happy to see that আপনি both worked hard to make the long distance relationship work. “Baby, what’s wrong?” Justin asks suddenly, making আপনি lash your head around to locate the sound. Justin looks at আপনি concernedly and when আপনি meet his gaze, he immediately sits down beside আপনি on the hotel room couch. “Nothing.” আপনি sigh, “It’s just that… Dad just called and… He ব্যক্ত tha-that mom’s in the hospital. She was admitted today because of a bad cough. I don’t know what’s happening, Justin! I-I’m supposed to be there for her but I’m here, halfway across the world. I-” Before আপনি can say more, Justin has আপনি wrapped up in his embrace as sobs wrecks through your body. He sneaks one of his hands under your t-shirt and rubs your back while the other is stroking your hair. “Shh…” He whispers softly as আপনি cry into his shirt. He eventually pulls away and places his hands on your shoulders, forcing আপনি to look directly at him. “It’s going to be okay. [Y/M/N] is strong, আপনি know that. Remember that time when we were in 5th grade and she broke her ribs when she fell down the stairs?” আপনি nod slowly, sniffing. আপনি still can’t see where he’s going with this. “She was up and going the মিনিট the doctor gave her the okay. She’ll be fine, [Y/N]. I promise.” Justin offers আপনি a small smile as he wipes the few tears, which are still falling from your eyes, with his thumb. “Thank you,” আপনি whisper, your voice hoarse. “Thank আপনি for always being there for me. Thank আপনি for loving me like আপনি promised in 3rd grade. I প্রণয় you.” “I প্রণয় you, too, [Y/N].”
