 ♪♫ I'm not doing much better, because I'm missing half of me ♫♪

There's only a week left of tour. Lacey has gone home and been home for about 2 months. 

She lies in her bed with Nialls sweater. The tears are still running down her cheeks since the day she decided she needed to be home.

Their fight wasn't the easiest thing for either of them to put up with. He was mad because she was always caught up with rumors, never spending as much time as they could together.

Lacey was always trying to go out and have fun. Niall was always tagging along, but always bringing her back home safe.

The tour was taking a toll on Lacey the longer it went on andone day she just broke. They broke.

She came back home and has regretted it ever since.

Niall lies on his bunk, pulling his pillow as clase as humanly possible.

"Niall you can't keep crying over this." Harry gives him some obvious advice.

"It's alright to cry over it. I feel you mate." Liam gives him more heartfelt advice.

"Call her." Zayn encourages Niall. He hasn't heard her voice for over a month. He picks up the phone and motions for them to leave the room.

"Hello?" Lacey picks up the phone in disbelief. She wipes her face and sniffles so it doesn't sound like she's been crying.

"Hello." Niall answers her slowly.

He pauses for a second before he lets out every single apology he's ever heard to her. She giggles through her tears at him.

"Niall, quiet down for a second." she finally speaks up. "I miss you a lot." she says when he's done rambling.

"I miss you too." 

"I should have never left you. It's one thing to leave tour for awhile," she wanders off as she speaks, "but it was a different thing to leave you." she emphasizes you.

"I don't even care Lacey." he chuckles at the sound of her voice. It's sweet and straight forward as always.

"I don't know if this goes without saying, but I need you back." she admits to him. As he sits in his bed, he brings his knee up and rests his chin on it.

He bits at his knee with his front teeth as a tear comes down his cheek. There is nothing more satisfactory to him than her saying she needs him back.

"I'll be back in a week." he says out of pure excitement.

"Then I won't have to wake up to half a blue sky." Lacey teases him quietly. He was always cheesy with his lines, and now it's her turn.

"Oh no." warm tears fall down his cheeks as he laughs harder at Lacey. "It's kind of there, huh?" he asks mockingly.

"Not quite." she smiles to herself at her cheesy lines.

"I just realized all over again how lost I've been without you." Niall spits out, truly realizing it.

"Nia-"

"That wasn't just a cheesy line either." he stops her before she can even finish her sentence.
