We all knew that after our New Years celebration, we'd all be back to work and we had to get things sorted out. The boys tour approached quickly, and it was an emotional goodbye, not just for me, but for everyone.

"I will see you in a few months, Little One." Michael said as he hugged me tightly.

"Have fun Mikey. And look after Luke for me."

"Don't worry, we will." I hugged him a little tighter but then he kissed my forehead and let go, walking over to Skye to say his goodbyes.

"Thank you for everything you've done for this past year. Love you lots, Mimi." I smiled at Calum as he also hugged me and joined Michael with a crying Skye.

"Don't forget to skype Luke like a lot because I will miss yout too." Ashton said and I laughed. "Don't forget to come to a few shows!" I nodded my head, not trusting my voice in having to say goodbye to my three best friends for nearly a full year.

Luke stood there, looking at me and his lips formed a straight line.

"I'm going to miss you, Luke." I whispered as we both hugged eachother.

"It will fly by, Babe. Just don't forget how much I love you." I nodded my head against  his chest and he lifted my chin with his finger. "Hey, we're going to be just fine. I've got you and you've got me. No eyes for anyone else, I promise." he kissed the top of my forehead and we hugged eachother tightly until the security guys told us we had to go. "I love you, Amelia." he whispered.

"I love you too."

"Daddy," we heard Skye cry. She waddled over to us and made grabby hands at Luke.

"I'm going to miss you Princess, but it won't be long till you're joining us." She just cried more until Luke whispered something in her ear and she nodded. "Be a good girl for mummy, okay? And promise you will call every night." She nodded her head again and rested it on Luke's shoulder.

"Come on Skye, we've got to let daddy go before he misses his flight." Skye's eyes filled with tears again and so did mine. Luke brought the three of us into a hug. I must admit, I did let a few tears fall but I had a crying daughter in my arms and an emotional boyfriend that was leaving for a few months.

The last call came out if the speakers and Luke and I shared our final kiss for a few months. Both Skye and myself waved them off and slowly made our way home.

We returned to an empty house. It was weird. All of our photos hung on the wall and it was as if each one was screaming memories at me. It could've been cast as overreacting, but I had spent nearly a whole year with those boys and there was never a silent moment in the house.

"Mummy," I heard form behind me. "hug?" I bent down to her height and she literally threw her into my arms. "I miss daddy already." she cried.

"I know, me too, baby girl. I'm sure it will fly by. It wont be long before you're with them on tour though baby! And while daddy is away, we get to meet uncle Ben and Jack! That's going to be fun!" she nodded her head and dried her eyes.

"Can we have ice cream?" she sobbed a little. I laughed, she was definitely my daughter.

"I will get the ice cream while you get a movie sorted, okay?" She nodded and ran in to the frontroom. I remember the first night I had left Skye alone with Luke and when I called him, he panicked when he told me Skye had eaten the whole tub of ice cream. I was sure that we'd be having another conversation like that when Skye joined the boys on tour.

Skye and I settled on watching Finding Nemo with our tub of icecream and snuggled up under our blankets, not that she watched much of the movie. I think she had cried so much that day, all she wanted to do was sleep. Liz and Andrew came back from their day out which caused both Skye and myself to wake up.
