Closer than ever (completed)

❤️

Mac POV
Today was the day, the day I had to leave and go back to my own tour. The day I didn't want to come, I could imagine the rest of the tour lonely and no one to love.

Ariana sleeping beside me, she knows I have to go back but this is going to be such a big step, she's going to be alone, I want to be here for her but I can't, she has to do this alone, I will come and see her of course.

"Malcom" she whispers opening her eyes "morning baby" I say and try to keep the smile on my face. "Today's the day" she sighs. "I know baby but we're going to be fine, even though we will be distant we will still be strong and I will be with you" I tell her and she hugs me.

Out of all the other times we have had to leave each other this time was more difficult, she's been dependant on me for 2 weeks I'm not saying this in a bad way in days she hasn't coped with it alone yet.

No matter how many knocks we got on the door by Joan, we ignored them and hugged in bed, we were fully clothed so I'm surprised that Joan hadn't walked in yet because I know she knows we're awake.

"Mom go away" Ariana shouts "you need to get up we need to hit the road and we have to drop Malcom off" she shouts back and that's all it took to get Ariana to start crying "Joan we will be out in a minute" I shout "okay" she says and I can hear her walk always.

"I don't want you to leave can I come with you" she says and I wipe away the tears "baby don't take this in a bad way but your strong, you need to carry on with this tour to show people your strong, I know your strong but if you cancel it rumours will hit the roof and the shit that will happen will be so big" I say and she hold me like it was the last hug we was ever going to have "will you FaceTime me every spare moment" she asks and I chuckle "I will FaceTime you everyday but every second I'm free you might be busy" I say "your more important" she says "your important to me too" I tell her and kiss her sweet soft lips.

I slide out of bed and pull Ariana out of bed and help her change, I lack my suit case but she stopped me "Malcom" she asks "yes sweetie" I say looking at her "can I have one of your tops" she asks shyly "sure baby girl" I say and let her pick one of my tops up, she places it in her suitcase and she gives me one of her hoodies.

She walk into the bathroom and I put 3 more of my teeshirt in and one of my aftershaves so she can spray it and it will remind her of me.

Ariana POV
I stood in front of the mirror and I brushed my teeth, I know Malcom had to go and I had to be alone but I really wanted him hear with me.

I walk out the bathroom and put on a pair of trainers, and I grab my suitcase and so does Malcom. We walk out the bed room and my mum smiles "morning you 2" she says like she has said every morning we have been together. "Morning mum" I say back with a smile.

"Are you ready to go" my mum asks and we nod, we walk out into the taxi and drive to the airport, the drive was silent I was holding onto Malcolm's hand the whole time. We arrive outside the airport and I get out with Malcom, my mum stays in the car while we sat goodbye.

I give Malcom a kiss and he kisses back "I will call you when I land" he tells me and I nod "I love you" he says giving me a hug "I love you 2" I sat back and kiss his check and I watch him as he lets go of me and waves goodbye and walks away into the airport, I get back into the car since we had to be somewhere.

I didn't want to cry but I got in the car and cried into my mums shoulder "Ariana your going to be fine I promise you" she tells me "I know mommy" I say back.

I get a message and I could really be bothered answering it but I looked to see who it was

M: I love you so so much princess, have a safe drive and a safe show tonight I love you ❤️❤️

I smile a little at the text

A: I will, I love you, have a safe flight ❤️
M: I'm boarding now so I'll call you when I land 😘
A: okay bye baby I love you ❤️
M: I love you 2 ❤️

We arrive in Lyon within 2 hours and my mum dropped me off at the arena while she went to the hotel.

"Ari, you ready" Scott says as he hugs me but I pull away from the hug like I was scared "I'm ready, I'm sorry" I say "it's fine" he says and we get ready.

The moment I stepped on the stage I sang my heart out and the show went fast and I did enjoy it.

Mac POV
This plane journey seemed longer than it should have been, we were delayed about 2 hours which I was annoyed about because I needed my rest for the show, I couldn't sleep on the plane either all I could think about was Ari, she would have performed by now I would have thought.

I didn't know what time it was but I would have imagined that she had I just hoped that it all went well.

I step on the plane and head to the hotel, I didn't call Ari as soon as I got of the plane because it was cold and i wanted to FaceTime and I was not doing that in an airport and in a cab, I love her dearly but I don't want people hearing our conversations.

I arrive at the hotel and check in and I unlock the door to my hotel room and put my suit case down and change into some comfy clothes and sit in the bed and grab my phone

Calling baby ❤️😘...

Ariana POV
I arrived back at the hotel and Malcom should have landed 2 hours ago and he still hasn't called and I was getting worried.

"Ari calm down, he will call" my mum says and I realise that I have been pacing the hotel room we were in.

I started to yawn and I grabbed my phone and went and got into the bed.

I heard my phone and I picked up as soon as I saw it was my baby on the screen

Ari: baby
Mac: I love you
Ari: I love you 2
Mac: how was the show
Ari: it was good
Mac: good
Ari: I miss you already
Mac: I miss you 2
Ari: I really want to talk but I'm really tired.
Mac: it's alright baby, sleep well
Ari: I'm gonna try it's going to be so hard to sleep with out you
Mac: I love you
Ari: I love you 2 goodnight
Mac/m: goodnight baby

And there the conversation was and I placed my phone on the side and I fell asleep.
