- POV Ashton -

Everyone is waiting for Lili and Michael now. They told us Michael is fine but we still are kind of stressed.

I see Lili's car entering the parking lot and I smile weakly. Lili parks her car and they get out. Michael gets his new suitcase and puts it in the tourbus. "This was hell," Michael says. "I fucking hate Uber. I'm never using it again. Fucking hell."
"I am so glad you're okay," Luke says.
"Me too. I needed to jump out of a driving car. That's not something I want to do again. Ever."
"I'm sorry," I say.

Lili stands next to me and wraps her arms around me. She lays her head on my shoulder and sighs softly. I wrap one arm around her, "are you okay?"
"Yes... Just a little stressed."
"Everything's fine."
"I know... But it's just- I don't know..."
"Deep breaths. Calm down. No one is hurt and everything's fine."

Our manager walks up to us, "glad to see you Michael."
"Glad we feel the same," Michael replies.
Everyone chuckles.
"Are you guys ready to go?"
Everyone nods.

I focus on Lili again. "You feel better again?"
"Kind of... I'm going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too. But let's text a lot and call or FaceTime once a day."
She lifts up her head, "of course."
I go with my finger over her cheek, "I'm going to miss that adorable little face."
She smiles weakly, "when don't you."
"When you're with me."
"True, true."

"Guys, we need to leave now," the manager says.
"Enjoy your time away from me," Lili says.
I laugh, "should I be happy with that?"
"I guess so."
"I'm not."
"Then I guess I was wrong."
"With what?" I frown a little.
"You being happy with it."
"Oh..." I giggle.

"Bye Lilypat, I'll see you as soon as possible," I say while hugging her.
"Bye Ashey. Enjoy the tour."
I let go of her and give her one last kiss.

When the others said goodbye for Lili too we get into the bus and claim a bunk. Then the bus starts to drive away and I wave at Lili towards the window. She waves back and I see sadness in her eyes. I wish I could get outside and pick her up and  bring her with me the whole tour... But sadly I can't.

We leave the parking lot and I look at Lili util I can't see her anymore. I sigh softly and look at the other boys. Luke and Calum are laying on the couch being lazy. Michael is in the corner with his phone in his hands.

I sit down next to Michael and then our manager and videographer walk in together. They start to record us but I totally don't want to be recorded at this moment so I walk into the bathroom.
