I'm sorry if these updates seriously suck and are spaced out. I've been really stressed lately and I kinda have writers block. So, things have been complicated. But I promise, things will pick up and everything I left you with in the first one will be resolved. 

And I know Oli seems kind of harsh right now, but remember, this is kind of based off true events. This takes place right before Sempiternal comes out, and a lot of these emotions are true. So, keep that in mind, and don't hate Oli. He's just sad, but everything will come around. I promise. This is a love story. So stay positive. 

I love you all. Keep reading and voting. It really means more to me than you will ever know. I love you all so much! Carry on, way ward sons. <33

(Two days later...)

I woke to a million missed called from Danny. I sighed and rolled over on my bed, not wanting to move. I didn't have to work today, and I had planned on spening most of it in bed. 

I was slightly excited though, despite what had happened. The boys should be arriving in town today, and Cassie and I would be going to see them. The tickets should be here as well, and Danny said they were back stage tickets, so we would be able to watch the show from up on the stage with the guys.

My phone buzzed again. I sighed.

"Daniel Robert Worsnop," I mumbled. I reached over and grabbed my phone.

"Hello," I said grumpily, mad that Danny ruined my chances of going back to sleep. 

"Brodie," Oli's soft voice said through the phone. I bolted up out of bed.

"Oli?" I asked quietly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" My face scruntched up in confusion.

"Tell you what?"

"About the letters," he whispered.

"Oh," 

I had recieved three more letters over the past two days. Each one was the same. I ripped them all up each time, but I was still scared.

"Matty said he told you!" I said. 

"I was wating for you to say something."

"Well maybe I tried, but you hung up on me," I said angrily. I couldn't believed he was saying that! After he was the one who was so cruel to me...

"I guess I just didn't really believe them. But I talked to him again. He said you were telling the truth," he whispered. Tears seaped into my eyes. 

"I wanted to tell you when I called you. I just didn't know how, and you really didn't give me the chance. you hung up..." I whispered.

"I'm sorry, Brodie." 

That was all it took. I started sobbing instantly, completely forgetting my anger at him, all of our fights. Everything disappeared from my mind. 

"Oliver. i just miss you so much. It's tearing me apart being away from you, but you treating me like this doesn't help. I really need you. I need you to be here for me," I sobbed.

"I'm trying Brodie. I'm trying to pull myself together. I never thought being away form you would be so hard. I wish you were here. i wish you could have stayed with me. I know you couldn't. But it's been so hard not having you here. I reach out in the middle of the night for you, and you're never there. It's like, part of me is missing without you," he said. 

"It's hard for me too, Oliver, but we have to be strong for each other. I didn't plan on being away form you forever, you know," I said. It was true. I figured once I got all of the mess with my brother squared away. I would move back to England and live with Oli forever. That was my plan anyway.

"I'm trying, Brodie," he whispered. His voice was thick with emotion, and I knew he was telling the truth. 

"I know."

"I gotta go. I'm metting with the band to figure out what to do," he said. I sighed. I wished I could talk to him longer.

"Okay," I said quietly. 

"Keep me posted about the letters, please. We're trying to get down to the bottom of this. Just, keep on the lookout, and don't travel alone please. Okay?" he asked. I rolled my eyes. Part of the old Oli was coming back.

"Yes, Oli," I said. I knew I wouldn't, but hearing me say that would make him feel better. We said a quick good bye and he said if he had time he'd call me later tonght. I flopped back down on the pillow. The phone call only made me feel a little better. I was still upset that he knew how upset the creepy letters were making me. So why didn't he say anything? Why wouldn't he believe me?

I sighed and decided to call back Danny.

"Hey good looking!" he shouted into the phone. I rolled my eyes and held it away from my ear so I wouldn't be deafer than I already was.

"Hey Danny. I see you called," I said. I could pratically see the goofy grin form on his face. 

"Well, I wanted to let you know we should be in town in the next h our or so. And I know we're going to see you at the show and all, but the guys wanted to hang out before, seeingas it's been six months. So we'll come get you and Cassie later, okay?" he said. I sighed. Looked like Danny wasn't giving me much of a choice. I really wanted to stay in bed until the show, but I had no choice now.

"Well Cassie doesn't get off until later. She can't come," I said. I knew Cassie would nevr leave her beloved studio to habg out with the guys.

"Well, we'll figure out a kidnapping plan before we head over. see you later babes," he said. The line clicked off. I thew my phone back down on the bed, and pulled the covers up over my head. I wasn't really sure if I was up to hanging out with the guys all day, but maybe it would help my mood lighten up.

I thought back to Oli and i's conversation. He still cared about me. And he was trying to get better. And most importantly, he still loved me.

Okay, again, I am super sorry these chapters have been crap. I'm getting there, I promise. Things should be picking up in the next chapter. I do have big things planned, so keep reading! I love you all!

Ps. That is my all time favorite picture of Oli. Please enjoy it as much as I do. It makes me very happy inside every time I see it. It's been the wall paper of my cell phone pretty much this whole time of writing this book and the first part. Anyway, I just thought I should tell you that. Carry on, my way ward sons!
