Goodbye for good

+the day of New York+

My eyes fluttered open as my alarm blasted through my ears. I yawned rubbed my eyes and sat up, I leant over and slammed my hand on my alarm clock turning it off, it was 2:30am. "Is it time?" I heard Michael mutter. I turned to see him looking up at me, tired. "It's time" I smiled.

I rolled out of bed and got into some comfy clothes. I made my way across the landing to the spare bedroom where my mum was stopping. I lightly knocked on the door and pushed is slowly open "mum?" I whispered drawing closer to the bed where she was laying.

I crouched down and lightly shook her until her eyes fluttered open. "Yeah?" She groaned. "We're leaving soon" I whispered. She soon got up and followed me and Mike downstairs.

"Right have you got everything?" She asked as we gathered the few bags I had in the door way. "Yes, I've got everything" I smiled. She placed her hands on my shoulders, "ugh, my baby girl growing up, have fun in New York and be safe! Bye rabbit" her eyes filled with tears as she pulled me into a tight hug.

Me and Michael jumped in the car and he drove us to the airport. "You okay, Mike?" I placed my hand on Michaels leg. He looked at me and smiled then looked back to the road, "yeah I'm fine babe" he said, not 100% persuading me. "You gonna miss me?" I smirked squeezing his leg a little. "Like crazy" he whispered, I could see in his eyes he was so close to tears.

We parked the car up and strolled into the airport pulling my suitcases behind us. We both made our way to security. "Well this is my stop" Michael croaked his hand letting go of mine. "Oh god, how can I be going on my own?" I suddenly got really panicky. "Babe, you can do it, this could change your life" he stood in front of me and hooked both his hands with mine.

"Are you going to be alright while I'm gone?" I asked, my voice shook. He lifted our right hands up and kissed them, "I'll be fine and so will Jessi" he reassured me. "Now go, before you miss your flight" he let go of my hands, I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him in as tight as possible. I pulled out and kissed him, "I love you" I croaked before walking away.

I walked through security not looking back. A few tears started to fall down my cheeks, wow I'm going to miss him so much. I finally boarded the plane, now just a ten hour flight until I'm in New York. I slipped on some comfy slippers, put on my headphones and fell to sleep.

When I woke up I saw that we only had two hours left of the flight, so I decided to check all my social media and just tweet some fans (well Michaels fans).

I quickly tweeted

'Only 2 hours until I land in New York! Who wants a follow as I wait?'

I watched my phone as my notifications blew up with RT's and people saying how much they love me. Michael is so lucky to have such an amazing fan-base. I followed at least 100 fans before the plane finally landed. I slipped my phone in my bag and quickly packed up my belongings and exited the plane.

I walked through the nearly empty airport, here in New York it is 7:00am. As I quickly walked through the airport it sunk in that I was alone. I had nobody waiting for me here in New York. I had a strange man from the University with a car for me, but I had nobody I knew. I had no family here, it was just me, they were all back home.

I made my way to the front entrance I saw a man holding a sign with my name sprawled across it. I walked over to him and he took me to the car.

MICHAELS POV

I woke up to the ringing sound of my alarm clock, I slammed my hand down and got up. I looked to the side and saw Madelyn's side of the bed was empty. I suddenly felt a ache in my heart, knowing she was so far away scared me, what if something happened to her? It'll be on me. I'm her husband I should be with her. My thoughts were soon interrupted by Jessica's cry. She reminded me why I wasn't with Madelyn right now.

I slid off the bed and picked her up, I cradled her in my arms and started to bounce up and down. "Morning beautiful" I hushed, I placed a soft kiss on her head as she let out a little yawn. I made my way downstairs to see Madelyn's mum (Julie) making breakfast. "Morning Mike" her voice echoed the room.

"Morning" I smiled back, "and morning Jess" she smiled making her way over and taking Jess from me. "I made you breakfast" she told me as she bounced Jessi in her arms. "Thanks, can you just watch her while I go get dressed?" I asked Julie nodded and I ran upstairs.

Today I'm off to the studio to record a new song with Dan. I haven't been in the studio with Dan for so long, actually since M.A.D. So this will be fun. I quickly got changed into my usually skinny low crotch joggers and my Jack Wills jumper, and my new pair of Jordans.

"Say goodbye to daddy" Julie handed me Jessica. I took her and just held her against my chest, "see you tonight princess" I kissed the top of her head and them placed her in her playpen. I then made my way out the door to my car. I hopped in my new white Bentley and drove to the studio.

After a twenty minute drive I finally arrived at the studio. I jumped out and made my way to reception. "Hey is Sammy in yet?" I asked the young lady behind the desk. "No, he called in sick so Tori is in today instead, I'll let her know you're here, are you staying for lunch?" She asked typing away on her computer. "Yeah what's on the menu?" I pulled out my card and scanned it on the little beeping thing to let them no I've signed in, "cooked meal it's Chicken Risotto but the buffet is just the usual" she replied. "I'll have buffet" I smiled and walked away to the studio.

Sammy and Tori are my managers, also twin brother and sister. I signed with them about four weeks after M.A.D broke up. They were the best choice I ever made, they're better than the old management. They know how to have a good laugh, they're very trustworthy when it comes down to merch and concert tickets. They also let me do my own thing to an extent, with this management I feel more free. Also at meet and greets/signings I get way more time with the fans. It's just way better with this management. Plus they're only a year older than me so they know what it's like to be in the music industry so young.

I walked into the studio to see it was empty so I decided to mess around with a few bits and bobs. I started to play the background of the new track and went into the recording section of the studio. The track started playing and it sounded so good.

'Blood brothers
That's what we are
Same place same dream
We've come so far'

I sung into the mic, the lyrics sending vibes through my body. I sung a few of the verses just messing around really just until Dan and Tori arrived. I slipped my phone from my pocket and texted Dan to see where he was just as it sent I heard a pinging sound as Dan and Tori walked through the door.

"Sup" I greeted them. My phone buzzed I looked I see I had a text from Dan saying 'I'm in a forest, wby?' I just giggled and looked up and playfully hit him in the arm. I could already tell this was going to be a good recording session.
