Missing Link

*Luke's POV*
---Three weeks later---

Well break was over and now were in San Francisco, California. Without Macky. She said she needed to find who she is as an individual, she'll be back in about a week and that week is almost over. Thing is a lot happens in a week. We did six shows with three of us is pretty hard.

We had an interview with some radio show. "So what are your thoughts on Zayn leaving One Direction?" she asked us.

"Well, that's five years on the road. He didn't really sign up for something like this, they were only teenagers and one hit wonders. He just wants to have the typical adult hood. It's reasonable" Ashton said.

She looked at a piece of paper "So Macky, the media hasn't really heard of her since the last Instagram post. It was pretty sad and heartbreaking. What do you guys think about her situation?"

"Well, she told me it was okay to give a little information on it. Uhm, she's lost. It's just that feeling being in a room full of people that loves you, but feeling like the useless and lonely person. This whole thing was happening even before the fire incident, she thought she could fix it by ignoring it and it didn't really help" Calum said.

I sighed "For her, it's the image people see. Everyone sees this happy, full of laughter and smiles, a Savior, and beautiful girl. That's what she tries to show all the time because it makes everyone feel better. That's the problem, people sees her sad it's like it's not okay. So she just fakes it, it's tough because she wants everyone to be happy because she understands what it is like to be sad, hurt, and rock bottom. She needs to be with people who kept her grounded."

The interviewer nodded "I hope she's gets better. Do you guys think she'll 'Zayn' out on the band too? Is this break from the band helping her distance herself from you all?"

We were all quiet and I furrowed my eyebrows "That's something that doesn't need to be talked about."

Just like us. I sighed and looked at the ground "What did you guys do on break? Correct me if I'm wrong, new tattoos and stuff?"

I nodded "We went to Bali in Indonesia. Just all relaxed, party, breath, and just being teenagers."

"Ya, I actually got a couple new tattoos. These ones and this one" Calum pointed at his tattoos on his arms. "It took one week with no supervision for this to happen."

We just sat there in awkward silence. "Thanks for coming on the show. Well see you next time."

I laid in my bunk on the bus, just waiting for a text or a call from Macky. Right across my bunk was Macky's, I reached over and grabbed her teddy bear that smelled exactly like her. Last time saw her was two days after our break up. That was 23 days and about six hours ago. Within that time, Macky called three times, texted me for updates.

"Dude, we're going to a club. You coming?" Ashton said. I shook my head and rolled over so I was facing the wall. "Well, we'll be back later. You should call her..."

Ashton and Calum left the bus and I pressed the call button. The phone just rang a couple time until I heard her voice " 'Ello?" Macky's voice was low and groggy.

I smiled and laid on my back "Hey. Sorry, were you sleeping?"

"Just a little bit. Brooklyn and Dylan kinda have me a bit worked out. I was gonna call you, but I heard that you guys were getting interviewed. Then I ended up take a bit of a nap" Macky said. "What's up?"

I sighed and hugged the bear "Well, it's about 9:37pm in San Francisco, California. Ashton and Calum are at a club. I'm lying in my bunk cuddling your bear, that surprisingly smells identical to you. Mainly, I just wanted to hear your voice and see how your doing."

"I'm doing good" Macky said softly.

I smiled "I love you too, Mackenzie. If you were here right now, we would be cuddling and I would be giving you a kiss." I heard a sniffle and a couple sobs "Babe?"

I got no response until a couple seconds later "I'm here. I'm here. I just- Are like together now? Last time we talked we broke up..."

"How bout this? As soon as you come back, I'm going to take you on a one whole day date. We'll drive down to LA, go to DisneyLand, or to a zoo, go to a dinner, and take a walk on the beach. Just me and you, then after I'm going to constantly kiss you and tell you how much I'm in fucking love with you. Talk about your holiday and what you been up to." I could picture a perfect date out.

"Ya, I would definitely love that. Luke?" Macky said softly.

"Uhmm" I felt my eyes get heavy.

Macky just sighed "Why didn't you go to the club with the boys?"

"I wanted to talk with you, plus I didn't want to do anything that is regret... I rather lay in bed and talk with you." I took my shirt off and pulled the blanket up more.

She was quiet "What would regret if you're single.....?"

"I don't want to hurt you. Plus I still love you, Macky. I was being stupid and a jackass for not letting you explain." I sighed and kept trying to jeep my eyes open. "When you get back I'll make it up to you..."
"Go to sleep, Luke. Get some rest..." Macky said softly.

I sighed "No, I wanna just talk with you..."

"Luke. Come on, go to sleep" Macky said. "Night..."

I pulled my shirt off and put it to the side, then pulled the blanket up. "Good night... I love you..." I said softly.

Macky was quiet "Bye, I'll see you guys soon..." was all she said. Then she hung up the phone, she didn't say it back. Why?
