You're Just A Daydream Away

Chapter 12

The few days I was back in England went on forever. I only got a few texts from Niall and no phone calls. Zayn called to make sure I got home okay the first day, and Liam called once to check on me.

My first day at my internship was slightly awkward. When I walked in my boss said "I didn't know we hired a celebrity?!"

Yeah I'm definitely not a celebrity... but what ever. I really liked the people in my office. And my bosses were really nice and fun.

Work could only keep me occupied to a certain extent. I tried so hard to keep my focus on what ever task I was given, but my mind constantly wandered. I wondered what Niall was doing at that exact moment, when he would call, what it was going to be like when I saw him again in a few days.

One day I was copying papers and spacing out as usual as the copy machine went to work spitting out tons of papers.

Suddenly someone was snapping their fingers in my face trying to get me out of my trance.

"Wow, you're really out of it aren't you Haley?" one of the male interns said to me. I didn't respond.

"That boyfriend of yours have you worried or something? He cheating on you? Cuz that happens a lot. Long distance usually doesn't work you know? I tried that out, and it sucked."

"I see him like half the week. And who are you anyways? I don't know you. Who are you to ask me about my boyfriend?"

"Damn girl. I was just making conversation. Sorry," he said harshly then walked out. But not before I could get a look at his name tag to find out that his name was Ross.

God I'm too freaked out to even have a normal conversation. Here somebody was trying to be nice and be my friend and I totally flipped over nothing.

****

In 12 hours I'd be back in the U.S. Back in Niall's arms. It's only been a few days, but that's much too long in my opinion.

The flight was actually okay. Which almost never happens to me. Most of my flights I'm either near really annoying or smelly people or there's a ton of turbulence. But this one was just fine.

Niall would be waiting for me in the airport when I landed. He'd pick me up and we go to the venue for the nights concert. I wish I could sleep, but I was being forced by management to go to the concert. I get that I should be supportive of my boyfriend, but it'd seen a lot of his concerts and would see so many more. I didn't see the big deal in missing one, but I guess they did.

My reunion with Niall wasn't as dramatic as you might imagine. We hugged for a bit then walked out of the airport hand-in-hand while he drug my suitcase behind him. Nothing special. But we weren't away from each other for that long.

We arrived at the concert venue a tad earlier than normal. Which to me just meant that I had a little bit more time to nap before the show. I collapsed on the couch in Niall and Zayn's combined dressing room. Apparently this venue could hold a crazy amount of people, but it's backstage area was a lot smaller than most places so the boys had to share rooms.

I was woken a few hours later by a very annoyed looking Liam.

"What Li?" I asked in my "I'm pissed you woke me up" voice.

"I need to talk to you."

"So talk," I added flatly.

"Well I don't even know if you're listening, but I guess I'll just continue. Your boyfriend thinks he's losing you. He said you seem out of it. And that he hardly heard from you while you were gone. And that you just seem annoyed by him and what not. And he's probably exaggerating because he's Niall, and he doesn't ever have girlfriends. I don't know what's going on, but you need to reassure him. Me and the guys are tired of hearing him talk about it all the freakin time," he rambled.

"He's not losing me. I felt that same way about him. I don't know what it is lately. I think neither of us in putting I effort because we feel like it will annoy the other. But the kid couldn't do anything ever to actually make me mad. We both just need to try harder really."

"What ever it is, figure it out. I can't deal with him moping around and whining all the time. He's supposed to be the crazy mofo and lately he's just been psycho. K. Go back to sleep. You have another hour. Glad we had this talk. I'll..."

I assume he said something after that but I dozed off so I have no idea.
