Sasha's POV

It's been two weeks since Niall left for tour and we've been talking every chance we get, everyday. Our calls lasted from up to a couple of hours a day or just a few minutes which I am not complaining about, at all.

Though I still got calls, his absence still affected my mood. Our home felt empty and lacking.

Home. It has really become my home in such a short amount of time and all of it is because of Niall. His presence makes me feel complete and sometimes I would know exactly what he was thinking at the same time. Were we soulmates? Probably but there is also that possibility that we aren't.

Mrs. Ro'meave noticed my declined happiness but said nothing about until earlier

- Flashback -

She continued on explaining the topic on Science we were currently on but it was all muted as I thought about what Niall would be doing at the moment

"Hello? Sasha, are you alright dear?" Mrs. Ro'meave says snapping me out of my daydream and I nodded, in a daze. She studied me carefully through the screen and her eyebrows furrowed

"Is something wrong?" She asks and I shake my head, "No. Nothing's wrong" I sigh and she looks at me as if saying "don't-lie-to-me" look

"Okay fine. Something is wrong" I sigh and she gazes at me curiously "What is it?" She asks "If you don't mind me asking" she adds

I wave her in dismissal before I explain, "Niall went back for tour and I won't see him for a while. It gets pretty lonely here" I say and gesture my lonely flat

"Oh dear, you'll be fine! Do you talk everyday?" She asks and I nod, "Yeah, most of the time for a few hours but there are some instances where it's only like 10 minutes before a show" I sigh

"At least you're still contacting each other and they do say that distance makes the heart grow fonder" she says with a playful wink which made me chuckle and nod in agreement

"Yeah. I do miss him. Like a lot" I say and she laughs before she steers me away from the topic and back to what we were discussing

- End of Flashback -

So here I am, sitting on the bed talking to Niall. I haven't told Niall about my mood since I didn't want to ruin his tour so I just put on this happy persona where he could believe that I was okay.

He was talking about the crowd tonaight while he was in his bunker in the bus.

"-and they were so loud! They even held up hilarious signs for us! Then we met fans backstage for the meet and greet. There was this really cute little girl, Niana. She gave us handwritten letters and dolls that they created." He gushes thoughtfully and I just stared at him with a small smile and I admired his delighted features.

"Then, of course there were Lilo water fights. Harry is still as clumsy as ever and I accidentally sang Harry's lyric on 18" he said with a laugh "So, what's interesting there?" He says and rests his chin and cheek on his open palm as he stares at me through the screen

I shrug, "Nothing interesting really. Just boring stuff" I say and fall back on the bed, quite intimidated with his intense gaze. I was also afraid of him reading the signs of stress on my face and the sadness in my eyes.
