"Shhh!" Taylor shushes me as we walk up her stairs. I nod and we quietly make it to her room. We both change into pj's and jump in her bed.

"I'm not tired." I laugh.

"Me neither." She smiles. "Wanna watch tv?"

"Sure." I smile and she turns the tv on. She puts on a random movie and we watch it for a while.

My eyes start to feel heavy but I try to keep them open. Soon sleep starts to take over.

"Hey." I smile, meeting Max outside Taylor's house. Taylor kisses max and we all get in his car. I'm assuming the talk went well because they seem good. Max holds Taylor's hand as he drives to wherever he's taking us. I smile and the Hayes pops into my mind.

OH MY GOSH HAYES! I didn't call him last night. I quickly open my purse and look for my phone. When I find it I quickly turn it on and there are several calls and messages from Hayes.

I open my phone and check how many times he called me. He called my twenty times and he left a message. I put my phone to my ear and listen to it.

"Hey baby. Are you okay? Where are you? Why are my you answering? I hope everything is okay. I miss you so much. I want to hear your voice. I want to hold your hand and hold you in my arms. I want to kiss you so badly. I miss you baby girl. Call me back. Goodnight." Hayes says in the voicemail. My heart melts and I smile to myself. I'm never deleting this message.

I open my messages and check the ones from Hayes.

Hayes💙: Hey baby girl. FaceTime?
Hayes💙: Can you rn?
Hayes💙: I miss you
Hayes💙: are you okay
Hayes💙: answer me
Hayes💙: I called your mom, I hope you're having fun
Hayes💙: call me when you can
Hayes💙: I love you

I smile and text him back.

Me: Hey baby. I'm sorry I didn't answer last night, Tay and I didn't use our phones. I miss you so much
Me: I love you

Hayes instantly replies seconds later.

Hayes💙: I was worried for a bit so I called your mom. I miss you so much. Please baby always carry your phone with you
Hayes💙: I was scared

I smile and my eyes tear up.

Me: aww baby I'm sorry. I love you so much. I'll carry my phone with me, I promise.

Hayes💙: I love you with all my heart!
Me: I love you!!! I'll call you in maybe ten minutes?
Hayes💙: perfect! I love you

I smile and turn my phone off. "Max where are we going?" I ask.

"We thought maybe we could go bike riding at the beach." He says.

"Yay!" I smile.

When we arrive at the beach, Max and Taylor leave to rent bikes. I sit at a bench and call Hayes. "I love you so much!" I smile when I hear his voice. I love how that's the first thing he says.

"I love you! How are you?"

"Missing you. That's not a very nice feeling."

"I know how you feel." I sigh. "But it'll be over in three and a half months."

"I know, but I don't think I can stay away from you that long."

"Hayes, I miss you so much." Tears form in my eyes and I look down.

"I know baby. I know." I wipe the tear that escaped my eye and Hayes says,"Camila, baby, don't cry."

"I'm not." I say. I don't want Hayes to quit the tour because of me.

"Don't lie to me." He says softly.

I nod and let the tears fall from my eyes. "I just miss you that's all. I'm happy your touring. I want you to be happy."

"You make me happy. Being away from you doesn't make me happy."

"Hayes, I love you. You'll visit, it's just hard the first month. It'll get better."

"Okay baby." He whispers. I wipe my tears and force a smile. "I'm gonna use the restroom. Nash wants to talk to you."

"Okay." I smile and he hands Nash the phone. "Hey Nash!"

"Hey Cam!" Nash says. "I've been wanting to talk to you."

"Really? Okay. About what?"

I hear shuffling around and I hear a door close. "About Hayes. He's been kinda down lately."

"What happened? Why?" I ask worriedly.

"He's hiding it, but I know he's hurting. I hate to see him this way. He didn't actually need to use the restroom. He was crying and he didn't want anyone to see him. He misses you like crazy, Camila."

My heart aches and I sigh. "What can I do?"

"Please come visit. He needs you. Magcon with pay for you stay and everything but I'll pay your plane ticket. I just- please come."

"I will. When is it okay for me to come?"

"Next weekend. I'll pay your ticket."

"No, it's okay. I'll pay it myself. Thanks for telling me Nash."

"I want him to be happy and it's you who makes him happy. Okay, he's gonna come out. I'll text you-Oh- and don't tell him. I want it to be a surprise."

"Okay. Bye Nash. I miss you too by the way."

"I miss you too. I'll see ya. Bye."

Nash hands Hayes' phone back to him. "Sorry baby but we got to go. I'll call you later though."

"Okay I love you. Bye."

I hang up and wipe my tear stained face.
