Today Nathan, Melody and I are all going to Tom and Kelsey's house for a BBQ since the weather has been lovely and we all feel the need to catch up. I've missed my girly chats with Kels, she gets me more than anyone, minus Nathan of course. She's also dating somebody who is in the limelight and experiencing the same thing as Nathan and we are similar in so many ways. We are both super playful and carefree and crazy that we get closer and closer every time we see each other.

I finish packing Melly's bag and I meet Nathan downstairs. He smiles pressing a kiss to my lips which we both smile into. I make sure the house is locked up whilst Nath wraps Mel into her car seat in the back which she is now old enough to be in.

I climb into the passenger side beside Nath and I do up my seatbelt. Nathan starts up the engine and places a hand on my thigh, as always. He drives us all the way down to Tom and Kelsey's and we can already hear the music playing from the back garden. I carry Melody on my hip whilst Nathan gets the bags and we just walk straight around to the back of the house to see them laid out already.

"Ness!" Kelsey squeals running over to me and hugging me, minding Melly on my hip of course.

"Melody, wow you've grown so much!" Kelsey gasps making Melly giggle and I hand her over to Kels.

"Hey, Tom" I smile hugging him which he returns.

"Hey, how are you?" He returns the smile and I shrug.

"I'm good I guess."

"I've got the beers!" Nathan cheers as he returns from Tom and Kelsey's kitchen.

"Nice one" Tom cracks one open and I sit beside Kelsey.

"How have you been?" Kelsey asks me.

"Okay I suppose, I've had better days" I answer.

"Do you..you know..get nightmares?" She questions biting her lip.

"Every night" I reply almost instantly. "You?"

"Sometimes, I mean they're probably not as bad as yours but..yeah sometimes."

"Nathan's been amazing though," I tell her looking across the garden to see him playing with Melly. "He's so supportive."

"Yeah Tom too" Kelsey smiles softly.

"I've missed you" I admit making Kelsey chuckle.

"I've missed you too, Hun."

I look up to see Nathan chasing Melody around the garden and he finally catches her, walking over to me, placing her down and pressing a kiss to my lips. I grin when Melody hands me a daisy.

"Why thank you, sweetie. It's beautiful!"

"Just like mummy then" Nathan ruffles my hair making me pout and he laughs.

"You guys are so cute" Kelsey almost squeals and I feel my cheeks heat up.

"Nath mate, come help me with this" Tom calls Nathan to help him with the BBQ and Nathan does so.

I smile playing with Melody until the food is ready and we all devour the burgers and hotdogs that the boys have made.

I sit in between Nathan's legs and across the garden we watch Tom and Kelsey playing with Melody.

"They're great with Melly, aren't they?" I tell Nathan and he nods.

"Yep, they're amazing. They'll be great parents in the future."

I smile tracing my fingers up and down Nathan's arm.

"I'm gonna really miss you when you go on tour" I sigh.

"I'm gonna miss you too, baby" He responds.

A/N: I know this sucks and it's really short but I've been going through a lot these past couple of months. I've self harmed again, refused to go to school for weeks and I had to go to A&E about it and they were going to make me stay in the hospital overnight in case I did something stupid to myself. However I wanted to be at home and that's where I am. I hope you all understand, I'm really trying to update more frequently I promise.

All the love,
