It was the last month of tour, and Hailey decided it was time for her to go back and see Skylar.
"Babeeeee can you stay one more day?" Michael asked as the two laid down in his bunk.
"I told your mom I'd pick up Skylar tomorrow..." Hailey said, and the boy smiled.
"Exactly, tomorrow" Michael said, running his fingers through her hair. Hailey sighed and looked at him.
"Babe, it's going to take a while to get home from here... I need to leave" Hailey said, and the boy whined and tightened his arms around her.
"One more night! Please!" Michael asked, and the girl sighed and nuzzled her head into his neck.
"But if I stay you'll say "stay one more night" again... and then pretty soon, one more night turns to 5 days, then a week, then two weeks and THEN a month" Hailey pointed out, and the boy gigggled.
"EXACTLY!" Michael told her, and Hailey groaned.
"No Michael, I'm sorry..." Hailey said and placed a kiss on his lips. Michael pulled away from the kiss. "Seriously?" She asked, and the boy looked at her.
"Yup!" He said, and Hailey groaned.
"What do you want Conor?!?" Hailey asked annoyed, and Michael whined at her.
"I want you to stay one last month! And then the two of us can fly home together, please? Call my mom, she'll understand I'm sure" Michael said, and the girl rolled off of him.
"How about you call her? You're the one begging me to stay" Hailey said, taking her phone from the side of her and into her hands.
"You're acting like you don't want to stay" Michael said as he starts to dial his moms number.
"Hmmm" Hailey said softly, and Michael's mom picked up the phone.
After the phone call, Michael's mom said it was fine if Hailey stayed for the last month of tour.
"You're staying baby girl" Michael said, and Hailey smiled at him.
"More alone time with you" Hailey said with a smile, and the boy nodded at her.
"We should get some sleep, it's 12am" Michael told her, and Hailey smiled softly at the boy.
"We should but..." Hailey said, trailing off leaving Michael curious.
"But...?" He asked, placing his hands on the girl's back.
"You'll see" Hailey said softly, running her hands through his black hair. Michael hummed in appreciation and watched his wife.
Hailey kissed Michael, and Michael kissed back. She then kept pecking his lips, which Michael kept kissing back. She cupped his cheek, and pecked his lips one last time.
She then kissed up his cheek and up his temple to his forehead. Michael smiled as she did so, and she kissed down his nose back to his lips to kiss him one last time.
"What was that for?" Michael asked, as the girl laid back onto her side of the bunk.
"Just appreciating my baby boy" Hailey said, and the boy pulled her into him. He kissed her head and smiled.
         "Thank you beautiful" Michael said softly, as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Hailey turned to face him, and smiled softly.
           "Anything for you handsome" Hailey said, a yawn following her statement. The black haired boy giggled at the brown haired girl.
           "Someone's feeling tired, huh?" Michael asked, and the girl nodded at him.
         "A little, yeah" she said, leaning her head onto his chest. Michael rubbed her back, and started to sing softly to her.
         "Thanks" she said above a whisper, and Michael kissed her forehead and continued singing. She soon fell asleep, but Michael didn't.
          He didn't feel tired one bit, and he was sure it was because of jet lag. He opened the curtain a bit, and saw that Brady was up as well. He closed his curtain, and took out his phone and texted Brady.
          Michael- hey you up?
          Brady- yup jet lagged af, you?
          Michael- oh yeah 😩
          Brady- want to play some video games? Chance is up too
          Michael- yeah sure!
           Michael looked at the girl laying peacefully on his chest. He sighed, and kissed her head softly. He started to move his arm off of her and she shifted. Michael mouthed 'shit' to himself knowing he woke her up.
           "Hmmm?" Hailey hummed half awake. Michael sighed, and rubbed her back soothingly.
          "I'm going to play video games with the guys. I'm feeling too jet lagged to sleep" Michael said, as he started to get out of the bunk. Hailey stretched, and moved to the other side of the bunk again.
           She tried to sleep, but she kept tossing and turning. She looked at the time, and it was now 1:30. An hour and a half went by since she tried to sleep. She sighed, and groaned.
           As bad as it is, she's used to not sleeping next to Michael since he's on tour a lot. But right now, it really sucked knowing he's here but not laying with her. She groaned, and laid back onto her back.
          She observed the bunk, it was defiantly Michael's taste. His Everybody hoodie was at the bottom of it, since he's usually always wearing it. His headphones were on the side of the bunk as well. He had bags of hi-chews everywhere in there, and Hailey didn't understand why he did.
          Hailey picked up a bag, and took out a piece. She smiled since she picked out her favorite flavor which was green apple. She opened it and placed it into her mouth.
         She then noticed three were left in the bag, and she took the opportunity to finish it. A few minutes later, she heard footsteps and Michael's voice.
          "Oh shut up!" Michael said as he opened the curtain, and climbed back into the bunk. "Oh, you're up?" He asked as he looked down and saw she was eating his hi-chews.
          "Yeah..." she said softly, and opened the last piece, only for Michael to take it and eat it. "HEY!" Hailey yelled, whining and tossing the empty bag at him.
         "You know I don't like people eating my hi-chews!" Michael said, as he laid back down.
         "Oh boo hoo Michael!" Hailey said, tired of his protectiveness over hi-chews. Michael shrugged and turned over on his side.
          "I love you" He said, looking back at his wife.
          "I love you too but uh..." Hailey started, and Michael quickly turned to face her.
           "But...?" He asked, and the girl sighed. 
            "I couldn't sleep because I-I mean- I'm used to sleeping alone without you cause of tour but tonight... it was different. You were here, a-a-and I just couldn't sleep" Hailey said, tears falling from her eyes. Michael sighed, and pulled her into him.
           "I'm sorry you've gotten used to sleeping alone, you shouldn't have to. I'm leaving IRL after this tour, baby girl. I'm going to call Timbo when we get home and we'll talk to Jay. Jichael is going to be the best thing to hit the music industry, don't you worry" Michael told her, making her sniffle.
          Hailey was all for it, but wouldn't she be even more alone? With Jay and Michael on tour, she'll only have Skylar. It'll be the same, but without her best friend....
