They boys went back on tour couple days after that. They had been away for 2 weeks now and neither Kayleen nor Taina had news directly from them, only from social medias. Until Kayleen's phone started ringing one morning as she was still sleeping.

«-Yeah?» Taina answered it since she was already up and she didn't want Kayleen to wake up since she's been sick all night long.

«-Is this Kayleen?» A man's voice said.

«-No it's Taina, who is this?

-Hi Taina, it's Ashton. How are you? Is Kayleen there?

-I'm ok... She's in bed she's sick... What do you want?

-I wanted to get news from you and apologized for being m.i.a since we're out of the country. She is sick? Is she going to be ok?

-Yeah she got stomach flu... My son got it too but they'll be fine. Why didn't you give any news before today?

-I didn't have time, I'm sorry. It's been really crazy here and we didn't have time for ourselves before today.

-It's not hard to take 10 seconds to send a text you know... Before going to bed or whatever.

-Look Taina, I know I've been an idiot and I'll try to make it up for it. But right now, I don't feel like being told what to do. I have enough of this with the management and all the interviews we need to do.» Ashton answered. He let out a long sigh after that.

«-Sorry... I just don't like to see my best friend sad... And she doesn't like to see me sad either but whatever...

-I'm sorry she is sad because of me. And I'm sorry if you are too.

-Yeah well it's not your fault for me...

-Is it because of Michael?

-Yeah but I'll be fine... I made up my mind and understood that I'm nothing to him and won't see him again anyway.

-Why do you say that? You're not nothing to him.

-Well it seems like it... The days I spent with him he was just weird and looked bored... And I haven't heard of him since then so... It's quite obvious.

-We're all very busy, that's why you don't have any news from him. He's not feeling too well Taina. He's struggling a lot. And I know you're the best thing that has happened to him in a long time. He just doesn't know how to handle it.

-Mmhmm...

-Michael needs time. So, give him some time.

-Yeah sure... Time... Anyways Where are you now?

-We are in Los Angeles and we are heading to the airport at the moment.

-Ok.

-We should be in Sydney tomorrow.

-Oh you're coming home.

-For 2-3 days only, but yes.

-Where you going after?

-Europe. France, Germany, etc.

-Ok.

-Can you please tell Kayleen I've called? And I'd like her to text me when she wakes up.

-Yeah sure, I will.

-Thanks. See you soon.

-Yeah... Have a safe flight.

-Thank you. Bye.» He said before he ended the call.

«-At least she gets some news...» Taina thought after hanging up.
