Dearest Mum,

The past couple days have been... strange. Tyde started his new job and he's never home. Niall and Harry have had meeting after meeting leaving me alone most hours of the day.

Today, as in right now, I'm home alone. Niall is in a meeting and Harry's out with a friend. Tydes at work obviously.

Speaking of Tyde, he's rarely home and when he is, he hides away in his room. He seems grumpier than usual I snapped my finger in front of his face at breakfast because he was zoned out and all and he just glared at me and said nothing. Normally he'd stick out his tongue in return but nope. He felt the need to be pissy.

If anyone deserves to be pissy it should be me. My shifts at the observatory have been cut back a lot because I 'changed location' and its too long of a bus ride and my boss doesn't want to put me through that. Okay. Plus normally I did tours around the observatory and now I'm standing by the giant magnetic clock resetting the tabs as they get knocked over and fall.

Not fun.

At this current moment I am sitting on the couch with a tub of chocolate fudge ice cream and a spoon watching the Fault in Our Stars for the gajillionth time. I apologize for any sticky finger prints I may leave on this.

Harry still hasn't shown me his tattoo. Apparently Niall has and, me seeing it isn't a big deal. THEN SHOW ME THE BLOODY TATTOO!

Men.

Actually no.

Boys.

That sounds like I'm having guy problems. Which wouldn't be wrong just not like that.

Harry.

That seems about right.

After I finished my ice cream and movie Tyde came trolling in on his phone. He ran directly upstairs without even noticing my presence.

I put my ice cream tub aside and followed him upstairs. I pressed me ear against his door to try and hear what he's saying.

I know. I'm such a bad person.

"I sent it out yesterday.... ya.... No Jack did.... Okay where is it coming in?.... Atlanta?!... tomo- okay fine. But I better be payed extra for this shit."

I pretty sure he hung up after that. I heard his footsteps coming towards the door so I ran back down into the kitchen like I was doing something  all along.

Tyde came down stairs calling my name and I told him where I was.

Walking in with his bag, Tyde told me that his work needs him away "someplace" on a business trip for a week or two.

Week or two?

"Why so long " I asked.

"Not sure yet. I'll see you when I get home again." He kissed my forehead and started to the door. As he was was walking out he told me to tell Niall too. I agreed and he left.

---------------

30 minutes later, I found myself laying on the kitchen floor, hungry af. I groaned and called Niall.

Niall: "Max! What's up?"

Me: "Tyde is going on a business trip and I'm home alone downing in starvation."

Niall: "That, my friend, made no sense. But I got your point. Harry will be home in point 2 minutes. Ask him to make you a grilled cheese or something."
