"Hello hello kids!" Louis instantly let us now he's home, when me and Mia walked
through the door.

"Louis darling…" Mia giggled.

I closed the front door and walked to the living room realizing everyone was here and
not only Louis. Of course the couches are all occupied in a mess of bodies and
console remotes mixed with take out food.

"So I guess Marry is back for good…" Dani grinned staring at our tangled hands.

"Yes, yes it is." I confirmed kissing Mia's hands who was also smiling softly.

When I tried to speak to Mia about everything that happened she said there was no
need to speak about it and we could move on. I tried to explain to her what
happened and the conversation her mum had with me but she refused to listen and
said everything's okay and doesn't want to think about it again. The only thing he
added was making me promise I'd never lie or omit anything to her again, no matter how
bad the news is. It was teally strange to me, I expected a lot of yelling and a sting fight but she didn't even raise her voice, not even once...
I guess she's still really hurt by her father's departure because obviously it's not
something you can get through that easily but with my help I think it will eventually
get a little easier when more joys of our life together cover the bad memories.

"What are you doing?" Mia sat on Dani's lap.

"We're trying to somehow find a schedule for our visits." El replied holding a pen
between her lips.

"Oh." Mia eyed the papers with numbers and city names.

The boys and I are gonna start a new world tour in two months and the girls will stay
here. I suggested Mia to come along but she refused since she starts college in
september and she doesn't want to waste one more year. It's really a shame, if Mia
were to come with us that would make the tour absolutely perfect.
I don't really fancy the idea of being so far away and leave Mia alone specially in the
start of this new phase that is college where she makes new friends… boy friends...
but Eleanor will be moving in here in that time so they have each others' company
while we're out. At least that's a good thing to compensate our absence.

Mia and I were used to being away from each other even during our relationship
when Mia still lived in Portugal so we were kind of used to the distance but now that
we moved in together and get to go to sleep and wake up together everyday our relationship is much stronger, not even comparable to when we first started seeing each other and it's already hard to leave her in the morning knowing I'll see her at home therefore I'm a bit reluctant about our time apart and I don't know how we'll react to the distance.

"And have you managed to come up with some dates yet?" Mia asked.

"Yeah well we can go to most concerts while they're in the UK which will be till mid
october and then we can see each others again on november 1st in Germany…" El
explained eying the draft.

"Okay…" Mia nodded.

"And that's all we've got so far…"

"How long have you all been here?" I questioned sitting on the floor and Mia moved
to sit between my legs.

"Almost two hours now." Liam glanced at his watch.

"And you've only come up with one tour date?" I raised my brows.

"We had a break for a little snack." Niall explained patting his belly. I bet he had a big
break.

"You really need to work on your timing."

"And what were you doing to arrive homes late huh?" Zayn softened his accusation
with a wink at Mia.

"We went to the movies." Mia replied.

"And you didn't bring any popcorn for meh?" Niall pretended to be offended.

"I wanted to but Harry here didn't let me because it would drop to the car seats and
Harry doesn't like his princess getting any harm." Mia explained, the sarcasm not lost in her sentence.


"I'm sorry if popcorn are all sticky." I rolled my eyes.

"You're sticky too and Mia still eats you." Louis snorted.

"Oh my God Louis!!" The girls all made disgusting faces.

"You are so disgusting!" Mia scrunched her nose and leaned herself back against my
torso. I wrapped my arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her shoulder.

"You'll miss me when I'm not around for 10 months." He smugly grinned.

"True." She confessed causing Louis to gasp at her confession. "What? You said yourself in the hospital you missed me so I guess I have to say I'll miss you too." Mia shrugged.

"Humm, I guess your brain is still a bit shaken up."

"My brain is perfect." Mia pointed out.

"Can we focus on the dates again? I really want to sort that now?" Danielle whined
leaning on Liam's shoulder.

"Let's do it then."

"I'm not sure if they can sleep in the bunks on the tour bus." Liam rubbed his chin.

"Management will surely book hotels." I shrugged.

"I honestly prefer the hotel, the bunks are to small for one body let alone two and I
guess everyone wants some privacy with their birds, am I right?" Louis wiggled his
brows.

The girls are all upstairs talking since us boys crushed in the living room to watch the
game and have some manly chat.

"I think it'll be fine, I mean we're older now, they're older… It will still be hard but I
guess it will be better now. And they're used to it by now." Louis pointed out.

"Not Mia…" I sighed.

"Yeah maybe Mia will feel a little worse and since she's not even in her own
country…" Liam rubbed his chin again.

"Do you think she'll want to go back?" I glanced at him speaking out the doubt that's been haunting me for days.

"No, I don't really but she'll feel it a little harder and you two were the last ones
getting together of our group's relationships. On the other end you live together so I'm not sure."

"Yeah I just hope everything gets better till then…" I sighed.

"Better?" Zayn took a sip of his beer.

"Yeah, the crash and her father… Everything's still very present and Mia still feels
guilty for what happened, she hasn't quite managed that in her head…" I explained.

"Is she having a hard time? She seems so collected though like nothing happened." Niall spoke quietly.

"That's the worst! She normally makes a fuss over everything that annoys her but actually being quiet is the worse, means it's really bad."

"You can see it though..." Zayn nodded. "Sometimes she zones off our conversations or when she smiles it doesn't reach her eyes. She only seems to relax when you have your arms around her."

"I'm really trying to fix it even though only time will, if that..." I sighed.

"Is that why you're never home now?"

"Yeah I just try to get her mind out of everything like going to the movies as we did
today or the zoo, visiting my mum, sight seeing again…"

"It's only been a few days, the scars are too recent to be completely healed." Liam
nodded.

"Yeah...." I mumbled.

"So Zayn, how's everything going about the wedding?" Louis changed the subject gladly.

"Perrie's going completely mad, I think she called he girls yesterday or something." He huffed.

"Yeah El told me…"

"I seriously never expected you to get married before the tour." Niall confessed.

"It was not the idea initially but we're engaged already so why not get married?" He
shrugged. "We'll have our honeymoon when out tour finishes."

"The first lad getting married huh…" Louis chuckled.

"It won't be long until one of you gets married too." Zayn sounded very sure.

"That's not me for sure." Niall sighed.

"You're my best man, what else do you want?" Zayn nudged him.

"My bets for the next one wearing a penguin costume go to Harry." Louis pointed at me making me laugh.

"Well I actually spoke to my mum and Rob about it." I confessed.

"You have?" Niall gasped.

"Yeah, after everything that happened, I don't want to waste anymore time without
Mia… Plus, you did see what the nurses put me through, not letting me see her
because I was not related family? If we were married I wouldn't have that problem."

"And what did your mum say?"

"Surprisingly she admitted she knew I'd talk to her about it very soon but advised me
to wait a little longer since we're still very young I mean Mia's 18."

"She'll be 19 soon and you're 20! I got engaged at 20 too…" Zayn reasoned.

"I know but I don't think Mia would accept it." I bit the inside of my cheek.

"Why not?"

"Exactly because of that, she'll say we're too young!"

"She moved in with you, That's a lot tougher than getting married. You already live a
married life, only a paper will be added." Zayn reasoned.

"That might actually be a good idea, that way she'd occupy her mind with the plan for the wedding and eventually let go of the stuff that's on her mind slowly deteriorating her." Liam made a well point.

"I'll try to approach the theme without bringing much assumption." I considered the
option.

"Zayn's wedding next month is a good opportunity for that." Liam gave me a thumbs
up.

"I'll think about it. Now, is there anything you want us to do for your wedding?" I
looked at Zayn.

"Yeah Perrie gave a loooong list… for each!" His eyes widened.

"No!" Niall flinched rubbing his temples.

"You may need a little snack to get through this!" Louis passed him the chips.
