"Where is it your next book signing is going to me, is it today?" Charlie, who is currently lying across my bed, questions.

"We don't have one today, but tomorrow we have one in Glasgow so me and the girls are going there tonight" I tell him as I get out my mini suit case and start putting closes In it. "We're going to stay with Emilie's mum"

"How many more signing have you got after tomorrow's" Charlie asks.

"I think we have three, why?" I answer.

"I fell like I never see you, its been like that since our tour started, and then you had to work on releasing your album and now you have album signings" Charlie admits, sighing.

"I fell that way to Charlie, but there's not much we can do about it" I stop for a moment and think. "Why don't you come to Glasgow with us, James is coming and Emilie"

"Are you sure there would be enough room" Charlie asks.

"Of course, Emilie's mums house has 4 bedrooms plus the garage is a bedroom so, yes there will be enough space" I reassure him. "Please come"

"Alright, if it means I get to see you more, of course I'll come" Charlie says and I hug him happily.

"We only have three more Signings to-do and then we can spend all the time in the world together" I tell Charlie.

"What about when your tour starts, when is it, it starts?" Charlie asks me.

"Next month" I admit, "its only a 2 month tour and its only around the UK"

"Still, it means I won't see you for 2 months, and who knows what will happen after the tour" Charlie complains. "It's not fair. We never get time for us, Indi"

"I know that Charlie, but I'm sure we can work though it" I say and feel a fear roll down my face, I quickly wipe it way with the end of my top.

"Our relationship hasn't been the same since x facter, its like we're to busy for each other" Charlie tells me, I think back to our X Factor days and realise it's true, we used to have a lot of time together, but since they X Factor Tour finished, we havent seen much of each other, especially this year. "It's not good for our relationship"

"We can work through it Charlie, we've survived the last two years of hardly seeing each other" I Remind him.

"Yeah, because we haven't realised what's happening to us, Indi, were growing further and further away from each other and its not good" charlie tells me.

"Don't you think I already know this, Charlie, don't you think o realise we spend no time alone together, don't you think I've notice we havent been acting like a couple for a long time" I Hear myself shout.

"Im not sure if you do, indi, because you are in total denial over it, your acting as if everything is the same it once was, as if you and I are just fine, well news flash, we aren't" Charlie yells back. Tears start falling down my cheek, one by one.

"Well, we need to do something about it Charlie, or this relationship is gonna end in tears" I say, wiping away my tears, I'm afraid it might have already come to that.

"What are we supposed to do, indi, how are we supposes to work through this, when we are busy for like the next so many months, when will we have time to work through this" Charlie shouts, tears in his eyes, his face full of anger.

"I don't know, Charlie, o really don't know, how am I supposed to know, I can't just drop everything so we can sort though this, I can't cancel the last few signing, so we can spend time together" I shout.

"Then why are we doing this, why are trying to make us work, when we know we can't" Charlie asks.

"Because we love each other Charlie, that's why, we will have to make this work, because we can't live with out each over, your my first love and my true love and I know I ma yours to, that's why we're trying to make us work" I tell him.

"But we can't go on like this indi, we just can't, we cant be a couple of we never spend time together" Charlie tells me. "We may love each other but this isn't going to work"

"What are you saying Charlie, are you giving up on us, is this it" I ask, staring at Charlie, my eyes filled with tears and hurt. "We can't give up" Charlie doesn't say Anything just lets the tears fall down his cheeks and onto my bed. I know he rights, we cant continue this relationship if we never see each over, it just won't work, but we can't just give up on, there is only one way to fix this.

"Can you wait, 3 months" I ask Charlie, breaking the silence.

"What do you mean, Indi?" Charlie wants to know.

"Can you wait 3 months for me, the tour is in a month and lasts two, so three months altogether, can you wait that long for me" I ask.

"I don't understand what you mean, Indi"

"When the tour is finished, I'll quit the bad, so I can your girlfriend, full time, we can rent a small apartment near here and spend all your spare time together"

"I can't let you quit the band, it wouldt be fair, or good for our relationship, if you quit because if me then we will end up hating each other"

"I'm not quitting because of you Charlie, I've been thinking about I for a while. I used to dream of being famous but its not what I expected and not what I want anymore, it was fun will it lasted but I don't want to do it anymore, the girls will survive with out me" I tell, Charlie, and its the honest truth. Growing up I used to think being famous was the best think in the world and for a while I thought it was but now I'm not sure its what I want. I'm not sure being in a band, is right for me, I don't want to tour the world, I guess I grow out of that dream.

"Are you certain this is what you want Indi, I don't want us to end up hating each other" Charlie asks taking hold of my hands.

"Trust me Charlie this is what I want" I tell him. "Now I just have to tell the girls"
