MICHAEL POV:

"This is going to look so sweet," I said while Jenn was slabbing bleach in my hair. Since my hair was black with a red streak right now I decided to bleach the sides and keep the middle black so it looked like a reverse skunk. Don't ask me where I got this idea.

"So you leave in a few weeks right? Are you excited to go home?" I asked. Jenn and I were never really super close, but she was always a good person to talk to. 

"Yeah I miss it. I'll just miss the memories and people here. What about you, are you excited to tour again?" she replied back.

"Oh definitely. We're going to so many new places this year it's going to be awesome! I also can't wait to prank the 1D lads too, Niall is going down," I said and Jenn laughed.

"Please record videos of you guys doing pranks that'd be hilarious," she giggled.

"We will, you know Ashton never puts that keek down. It just sucks that Jess won't be there with me to experience it all," I sighed. 

"Are you guys going to stay together?" she asked putting the last of the bleach in my hair. 

"Yeah, well I hope so. Not to sound sappy or anything but I can't imagine my life without her ya know?" I smiled.

"Well good, i'm really happy for you guys! I'm actually coming to the London show at the O2 arena, my younger sister is a huge one direction fan," she replied changing the subject. 

"Oh really? Well maybe we can get her some back stage passes, just stay in touch with Luke. You know that guy would do anything for you," I said.

"That'd be so awesome! And yeah.... I know," she blushed. 

We waited a half hour before rinsing my hair out and styling it to a messy perfection.

"Dope!" I said looking at myself in the mirror. I pulled my phone out to snap a quick selfie and post it to twitter.

"Alright Jenn, I gotta go meet up with the guys thanks again!" I shouted walking out of the house.

I can't believe that we leave in just a few days. My parents are still in Europe on a business trip doing God knows what, but that means I get to spend more time with Jess. At least I'll get to meet up with them while we're over there, it's been almost 6 months since i've seen them.

"OH MY GOD," Jess said covering her mouth as she was getting into my car after work.

"Do ya like?" I said pretending to flip my hair batting my eyes.

"Yes! You look SO HOT" she said excitedly buckling her seatbelt. "So Dave gave me the rest of the week off after I practically got down on my knees and begged him, but he understood after I told him you were leaving and all," she said plugging her phone into the aux cord and scrolling though her songs.

"Good because I've got plans," I said placing a hand on her thigh.

"Oooooooh like what?" 

"Pretty much doing nothing but enjoying your company. But in a couple nights we're getting the gang together one last time and then on our last night the guys are planning to spend time with their families but since my rents are still in Europe I was just going to be with you, does all that sound okay?" I rambled. 

"Of course, I want to spend as much time together before you leave," she smiled and leaned over to kiss my cheek.

JESS POV:

I woke up wrapped up in my familiar duvet snuggled up to Michael with our legs intertwined. I think if there was an award for couples sleeping in really weird, close positions we would definitely win. 

I turned my head slightly and saw him dead asleep snoring quietly with his mouth parted slightly. I'm really going to miss waking up to this every morning. 

2 days.

That's 48 hours until we have to say goodbye. I mentally face palmed at the thought and shook it from my head. 

These past couple of days with Michael have been just amazing. We could lay in bed and do absolutely nothing but i'd still be having the time of my life. We were out all day yesterday and didn't get home until super late so I decided to let him sleep in. I slowly maneuvered out of his grasp and shut the door behind me as quietly as I could so I wouldn't wake him.

When I reached the end of the stairs I walked into the kitchen to find Holy and Ashton, per usual. They were such morning people I don't get it. 

"Morning suga," Ashton said cheerfully. I poured myself a glass of orange juice before sitting at the table next to them, putting my head in my hands.

"What's up buttercup, long night?" Ashton giggled. 

"Oh shut it," I said rubbing my eyes and laughing too a little embarrassed.

Again, way too much energy this morning.

"Okay but really, is something else going on?" Holly asked concerned. She could read my emotions like a book so she always knew when something was bothering me. No sense in lying to her. 

"It's the last night we're all going to be together for a while," I sighed. 

"Aww it's okay I'll still be here with you and trust me we are going to bombard them with FaceTime calls," Holly said rubbing my back. "Plus you said you wanted to go backpacking up the coast in a few weeks, that'll keep you're mind busy," she continued.

"Yeah you're right. I'm just scared that..." I started but was interrupted by Michael walking into the kitchen in his boxers yawning obnoxiously. 

"Oh yeah, definitely a long night," Ashton gave me the 'we all know you banged last night' look and winked. 

"What are you scared for?" Michael asked sitting next to me and taking a sip of my orange juice.

"Oh, um backpacking. Yeah, just backpacking," I panicked. I couldn't tell him I was scared our relationship wasn't going to last or that I was scared I was holding him back from living his dreams. 

UGH! My head and my heart are so conflicted, it's a constant battle trying to figure out what the right thing to do is.

"Don't be scared you'll have so much fun," he said kissing my cheek. "So do you guys want to go get some breakfast?" he asked. 

We all nodded and got up to make our way outside.
