*Callies POV*

That was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. As I put on a brave face and begin to walk towards the exit of the airport with Noah, all I can think is: 'What if he never comes back?'

I know it's stupid and Ashton would never do that but...what if when he's touring he realises there's something else. There's more to life. What if he realises that we are holding him back. He could do so much more without us, be so much more. I hate the heavy weight I carry on my shoulders, constantly reminding me that Ashton isn't gonna be what he wants to be with us clinging to him. The regret it is almost to much to handle.

"C'mon Noah" I take his hand and head towards the exit faster, needed something to distract myself with.

Noah was the only one to come to the airport with me because secretly I know he is the one closest to Ashton, the one Ashtons closest to. If we brought everyone along, Ashton would miss his flight for sure and the whole thing would be chaotic.

I get into the car - which I have recently learnt to drive - and buckle Noah in.

"You okay?" I ask.

He nods his head but doesn't revert his gaze from the window. I know he's not okay, it's only a matter of time till he shows that and me...I'm a long long way from being alright.

I remember the envelope Ashton gave me. He said to only open it when I feel really sad and when no one else is around.

"AIMEE HAVE YOU GOT BOO??" I shout up the stairs.

"No I think he's on the trampoline" She calls back.

What? A one year old on a trampoline with other violent children, great just great.

I rush into the garden.

"MAX GET OUT THE POOL NOW" Ever since we moved in we have had troubles with the pool, the kids love it so much they go in whenever they feel like it.

"RIGHT NO MORE GOING IN THE GARDEN BEFORE SCHOOL" I practically scream "GET INSIDE ALL OF YOU NOW!"

Instead of arguing they all do as they are told. Ally carries Ollie in.

"Where's Noah?" I ask Ethan. He just shrugs his shoulders.

I walk inside behind everyone else.

"Max dry yourself off and get into your school clothes, Ally out of your pyjamas, Cattie get everyone's school shoes together and Ethan can you please go and find your school bag. Please don't argue guys just do as your told, as you can see I'm not in the mood" They all nod and say their apologies before going off to do their tasks. I take Ollie off Ally and give him to Aimee as she walks past.

"Are you alright?" Josh asks coming down the stairs. I sigh.

"Josh this is day two and I already want him back no - I need him, how will I cope for 4 months?" I sigh on the verge of tears.

Josh wraps me in a hug. He can be a great brother when he wants to be, his old self.

"Thanks Yoshi" I didn't mean to say it, it just came out. Even I know that no one can call him that ever since Dad. I feel him freeze.

"That's okay" He whispers.

"Josh I'm so sorry" I whisper a few tears escaping.

"Good memories" He replies still whispering. I know exactly what he means, all we'll have are good memories.
