The Runaway 2 - N.H.

[61] I'll be there soon

••

Sorry my update schedule is really weird, it's hard to write now that I have a job and my tests are starting at school :(

Everyone should tweet #1DToBrisbane because I started the hashtag and really want them to come :( x

"Mikey! Work!" I scream since it's literally taken him an hour to get ready.

"Do I look okay?" He asks, looking in the hallway mirror and fixing up his collar.

"Why do you care so much?" I laugh and he fixes his hair for the hundredth time this morning.

"Promise you won't tell anyone?" He asks and I roll my eyes.

"Spill."

"Well... You know how there's that girl I work with I told you about?" He asks and I nod. "I was kind of thinking of asking her out today..." He says and squeezes his eyes shut in embarrassment.

"That's awesome!" I scream and jump up to hug him. He giggles as he wraps his arms around me. "But we are late, so let's go," I scold him and he rolls his eyes. He literally makes the both of us late every damned day.

Mikey has been with Scar and I for just over a month now and I can already see a mental and physical improvement in him.

It's been hard on both of us,but being together has seemed to numb the pain a bit. Maybe it's because almost every night we stay up late and talk about all times with the boys or maybe it's because we know what each other are going through. Either way I'm glad he's here. He makes me happy.

My phone chimes loudly and I tilt my head to look at it. A terrible picture of Niall pops up as his caller ID and I can't help but smile.

"Want me to answer it?" Mikey asks because I'm driving. I nod and he grabs the phone. "Hello?" He chimes into it. "It's Niall," he says and I roll my eyes.

"Obviously."

"She's a bit pissed are you sure you want to talk to her?" He chuckles and I swat his arm. He puts the phone on speaker and hold it on the dashboard.

"Hey princess," Niall says through the phone and I smile.

"Hey baby."

"I miss you, but I'll be there soon," he says quietly and my smile falters a bit. God I miss him.

"Four days, right?" I ask and he hums a yes.

"I gotta go, love you," he says clearly in a rush.

"Love you too," I mumble and he hangs up.

"You really miss him, hey?" Mikey asks and puts a hand on my leg. I sniffle back tears and give a curt nod. "He'll be here soon, Bee," he mumbles and kisses my forehead.

"I know it's only a few days, but I miss him so god damned much."

I pull into Michael's work and he gives me another kiss on the forehead before getting out and walking inside.

I pull away and make the agonising slow start to my day.

Ashton's POV

"A month. It's been a god damned month without him," I tell the seven boys as we sit at the airport, stuck here because there are no planes departing for eight hours. "Fuck bush fires," I growl.

"Ashton we all want to see them, calm down," Louis hisses rubbing his head. He's been complaining about a headache for hours.

"Not only do we have to wait another eight hours, the god damned plane is eight hours," I continue to rant, causing a few frustrated grunts from the boys. The tour just finished and some of us are going to see Bee and Mikey and some of them are going home.

Niall sits on a sit to me right, shaking and playing his phone, clearly trying to pass the time. I can tell he's missed Bee. We all have.

"I'm going to call him," I mumble and quickly dial his number. we told Mikey we were coming early but are surprising Bee and told her we weren't going to be there for another few days. The way this fire is going, it won't be much of a surprise.

"Mikey?" I ask into the phone and he hums a response. "Our flight's been delayed eight hours, man."

He groans loudly before cursing. "But tonight was supposed to be really special."

"I know, I know," I growl and he sighs.

"Put me in speaker." I do what I'm told and tell the rest of the boys here can hear them. "Hey guys," he says and a few of them say hello.

"How you holding up, man?" Luke asks him without looking up.

"I'm good," he says quietly and I can hear him give a small smile. "Can't say the same about Bee though."

"What?" Niall asks, quickly snapping out of his daydream.

Michael laughs a bit before clearing his throat. "I mean she misses you, dude. She almost cried after you called her this morning. It was weird seeing her sad."

Relief floods through me and I see the same happening to Niall. A grin crosses his face and I'm happy their happy... Like I was with Anna.

"How're you Ash?" He asks and I stop my reminiscing.

"Good," I mumble and it realise I almost started crying. They all look up at me from my tone and I cough, trying to cover it up.

"What's wrong?" Calum asks clearly alarmed.

"Nothing," I hiss and Luke smiles to himself. Luke looks up at me and mouths 'Anna?' and I nod. He looks to Harry and laughs a bit.

"Home wrecker," he mumbles to himself but they all heard.

"Fuck, I'm sorry!" Harry yells and puts his head in his hands.

"Better be, piece of shit," a voice says and I look to the phone.

"Mikey?" I ask confused.

"Nope, the muffin man," I hear Bee say and laugh. "Thanks for the call, Ash," She says, sarcasm clear in her timid voice

"You were next," I mumble and she laughs lightly.

"Sorry Harry, I can't help but hate you a little," she says louder so everyone can here but Harry doesn't say anything. "Is Liam there?" She asks and we all look at him.

"Present!" He yells towards me.

"Did you get the remix for Steal My Girl?" She asks and we all laugh a bit. Liam eventually confessed Bee is the real 'Big Payno' and made those remixes and sent them to him.

"Yes, Braeden," he huffs. We all give him stick for it and he hates it.

"We gotta go guys," Louis says and we all look at him funny.

"Okay, bye. See you soon, Lou," she says and I can hear the sadness in her voice.

"Love you," he replies and I hang up.

"What was that?" I ask him and he shrugs.

"I miss her," he simply mumbles and continues to sit there quietly.
