Max's POV:
"Where are you going?" Nathan asked me. He had a blanket around his shoulders & tissue in hand. Sick once again.

"Going to get my final The Wanted check. You aren't well enough. Go back to bed Nath." I told him.

He wrapped the blanket around him tighter to stay warm. I tried to give him a quick kiss goodbye, but he awoke the second my lips touched his forehead.

"I need to go get mine." Nathan said walking forward towards me. I walked over to him & put my head on his chest to stop him.

Next I put my hand on his forehead to see if he was hot still or not. I shook my head no at him.

"Back to bed. I'll get it for you. Everyone knows we live together now anyway." I told him.

"Will you bring home some tissues too?" Nathan asked me quietly.

I laughed then nodded. He smiled & walked back into our bedroom. I grabbed my keys & left to get our paychecks.

The Wanted was going on a hiatus. It was agreed between all of us to go forth with the idea. Everyone promised to be back together soon.

After the announcement, Nathan was quiet. Quieter than usual. I thought it was because of the break-up so I cuddled him that night thinking that would be half of enough.

We bought our own flat a couple of months before the break. No more Harry Styles. No more Louis Tomlinson. No more Mr. Kine. No threats other than the usual ones from people behind their phones or computers. Now there was no more The Wanted for awhile.

I was looking forward to acting. I had signed up for a couple of classes for February & March to learn how to speak more American. Nathan was going to start writing his own songs for a solo career, but only for awhile because the band was getting back together.

I pulled into the parking lot & got out at the same time as Jay & Siva got of Siva's car. They me so I walked over to them.

"Where's Nathan?" Jay asked me.

"He's sick. I'm going to get his for him along with mine." I told them.

"Tom says he's already inside. Also Scooter's not there & we aren't going to like his replacement to us our final checks." Siva told us holding his phone.

"Couldn't he just have told us who the replacement was instead of being so cryptic?" Jay asked with a laugh.

"What is it Nano?" I asked him.

"We like Nano!" Jay scolded me.

Siva, Jay & I walked into the main room. We saw Tom's front to us & a man's back to us. Even from behind I knew who it was.

"Not him." I groaned.

"What's his name again?" Siva asked us.

"Well at least Nathan's not here." Jay muttered.

Seeing us, Tom walked towards us as the man turned around. In his hands were five white envelopes. Of all people Scooter could have sent. Was this karma because of the Nano thing?

"Where's Nathan?" Mr. Kine asked us.

"He's not well. He doesn't need to come back at a different day to get his check. Since I live with him & I'm the one who dates him now I can take it to him." I told Mr. Kine harshly.
