Please Come Back Home (Nathan Sykes Fanfic)

Chapter 42

Inside was massive, as in, we could actually stand upright in it. It had maybe four windows, one on each side and a bunch of pillows scattered around the floor. Looking out each window, it seemed like there were just miles and miles of trees.

As I came to the last one, I saw a little step ladder in the corner that was under a door in the ceiling. I looked to Nathan questioningly and he nodded towards it smiling. He took hold of my hand and pulled me over before pushing it open and going up himself. Watching sceptically, I peered up and saw him sat on the roof while holding out a hand for me.

I climbed through and saw there was a blanket and some pillows up there. Nath slung an arm over my shoulders which made me move in closer and rest my head on his shoulder. He just chuckled at me and kissed the top of my head as we sat there in the darkness.

It must have been at least fifteen minutes before either one of us talked.

“So,” he said as he lifted his head from resting on mine and looked at me.

“So…” I said as I smiled at him, encouraging him to continue.

“We have three more shows until we go back to the U.K.”

“Really?!” I asked a bit shocked.

It felt like just yesterday that I was waking up in London with no idea where I was.

“Yeah. So when we go back there, you’re going to have a demo. If all goes well, then you’ll be in the studio full time, recording for your own album. YOUR OWN ALBUM!” he said the last part the same way his says ridiculous, knowing that it made me smile.

My head tipped back in laughter, which resulted in my entire body falling back so I was laying down. I put myself upright again and thought about the premise of doing my own album. That was huge, I would be on my own and… On my own. I wouldn’t be with the boys, maybe not even Tori.

“What about opening for you guys?” I asked a bit sadly as I thought about the prospect of being a solo artist officially.

“Well, if you get a contract then you’d be working on your album full time.”

“Oh.” was all I could get out.

“Look at me,” he said as he took my chin between his thumb and forefinger. “We’ll see each other often. We’ll play some of the same shows, we’ll see each other in the studio, maybe even collaborate on some tracks. I’m never going to let you go, ever.”

With this he pulled me closer and kissed me. A tear rolled down my cheek, followed by another and another. He pulled back and I rested my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me. The tears kept coming silently which made him kiss my head and start singing in nothing above a whisper.

It was moments like these that I was going to miss. The moments when we were just messing around and got yelled at by Martin and given a stern laugh from Kevin. The moments when we learned something new about each other. The moments when we helped each other through a rough patch.

It was the small things that counted with the seven of us. We didn’t care what the tabloids said about us or what haters made up. All that mattered was the fact that we were there for each other through thick and thin.

I looked up at Nath with a watery smile as he wiped away my tears and kissed my forehead.

“We better go back, they’ll be looking for us.” he said as he stood and pulled me up with him.

We climbed down and walked through the woods back to the play ground. As we emerged, no one was there. I glanced at Nathan to see he was smirking at me.

“Let’s go.” he said with a smirk as he pulled me over to the gate.

A/N Again, anyone got major ________ (insert ship name, because I can't come up with one, if you want to share feel free) feels? Yeah sorry! I was feeling really sappy again.
