Each morning while Niall was on the European part of the tour, I woke up to a good morning text from Niall. Each night while Niall was on the European part of the tour, I woke up screaming. I was experiencing reoccurring nightmares, the ones from before that only went away when Niall was sleeping next to me. Each nightmare got worse than the one before. I dreamt of the man who had attacked me and raped me. I hadn't told Niall about the nightmares. Luckily he was coming home today.That particular night I had woken up at 5 am and couldn't fall back asleep. I checked on the babies, changed both of their diapers and put them back to sleep. I quickly showered and blow dried my hair. I straightened it and sprayed hairspray- the kind that Niall loved the smell of. I swiped mascara across my lashes and added some light blush. I spritzed some perfume and grabbed a pair of black slouchy boots and slid them over my denim skinny jeans. I pulled a big hoodie over my head and ran downstairs. I picked up Channing and let her outside to do her business. When she was done we both ran inside to hear Liam crying. Channing scurried up the steps and I ran up behind her. Once I reached the nursery I saw Liam standing in his crib crying. I picked him up and smoothed his brown hair "What's wrong baby?" "I daddy" he said crying. I coddled him and kissed his cheek "Aw baby, daddy's coming home today... Soon" I said soothing him. He soon calmed down and started playing with a strand if my hair. "How about some breakfast?" I said. I sat Liam on the floor and woke Ariel up. I carried the two of them down the steps carefully. I strapped both of them into in their high chairs and gave them each some cheerios.

I dressed the twins and got them into the car and drove to the airport, anxiously waiting for Niall. I put them into their stroller and entered the airport which was fairly empty. I saw Di, Eleanor, Dani,and Ariana sitting. I pushed the stroller over and sat down next to Eleanor who was now 6 months pregnant."Hiii" I said hugging them all. "I can't wait until they get back" Di said rocking back and forth. "Are you excited to see your fiancée?" I taunted making her blush. We heard yelling and all looked up simultaneously. We saw the boys running through the airport with their bags, Paul trailing behind. "Jordan!" I heard Niall yell, I got up and ran to him. I jumped as I got to him and he caught me and spun around. "I missed you'" I said as we hugged tightly. We finally parted and Niall jogged over to the twins stroller and kissed them both. "They missed you so much, we all did" I said smiling. I greeted Liam, Louis, Zayn and Harry and all of us were escorted out of the airport and went to our cars.

"Do you wanna stop for some lunch?" Niall asked as I started the car. "Sure, where you wanna go?" "Nandos" he said sheepishly, I laughed and pulled out of the huge parking lot. Niall and I talked while driving, he told me about some more tour experiences and how much he missed me. It was the end of May and the boys had a week at home before starting the next half of the TMH tour. He was leaving on the morning of Friday June 7 so I was going to make the most of our time together. We soon arrived in front of the notorious Nandos that we visited so often. Niall helped me get the twins out of the back seat and we entered the restaurant. Once we were seated we ordered our usual meals and continued talking. I smiled at Niall and he smiled back, just in the time he was gone his appearance had altered. He appeared more muscular, tanner, his eyes were brighter and his hair was blonder and shorter on the sides. Any changes to his appearance didn't change him, he was still the same Niall that I had loved for almost 4 years. "Is something wrong?" He asked observing me. I shook my head "just tired" "You look it" Niall didn't know the real reason I was so tired... I refused to tell him about the nightmares because I knew it would worry him and he wouldn't like to spend time away while on tour: The nights without him killed me. At one point the nightmares got so back I went to the doctor... I was prescribed sleep meds to help me sleep at night with less chance of nightmares, I was also given some temporary depression meds just as a precaution the doctors said. I couldn't tell Niall... Atleast not until the tour was over.
