Call Me Hopeless, But Not Romantic.

I swear I'll call yeh every day." I said cupping her face as we stood outside the bus. The show had ended and the night seemed to fly by and before I knew it we were about to leave. Turned out it was harder than previously imagined.

I wrapped my arms around her and she sniffled against my shirt.

"Baby..." I whispered rubbing her back.

"I just got you back." She mumbled and I sighed, "and I'll be back. I swear it. Tha next weekend we're off I will be here wif yeh."

Her arms wrapped around my torso and I just held her to me. I would miss her just as much that I was sure of.

"Love, don't cry. Please."

She looked up at me with already tear stained cheeks.

I brushed her cheek lightly, "I love yeh my lil bird." I whispered.

She nodded and I placed kisses gently on her cheek.

"I've gotta go." I said as Jona yelled out at the bus for me.

She nodded tears falling down her cheeks which instantly broke my heart.

I grabbed her up and pressed my lips to hers, "I love yeh."

"Love you." She sobbed and I wiped her tears away.

"I'll call yeh tomorra ok? I promise."

She nodded and I kissed her hand trying to make myself leave her which was harder than I thought. She was right, I just got her back and I wasn't ready to let her go again.

Leslie was waiting at her car patiently and I gave Mac a grin, "behave yehself lil bird."

A chuckle left her lips which made me feel better.

"Go love." I said wanting to make sure she made it to the car safely.

I watchd her until she was in the car and I forced myself onto the bus sadly.

"yeh would fink she's dyin'." Lee said patting my shoulder and I shot him a look.

"I love her. I know yeh wouldn't undastand what that is."

"Yeh right."

"Oye did yeh and Leslie shag?" Oli asked chuckling.

Lee smirked, "Maybeh."

"I say that's a yes."

"She's a dirty bird mate that's all I'm gonna say bout it." Lee said and I even started laughing, "so bloody wrong."

"What? All I'm sayin' is I'm now a firm believa in, once yeh go yank yeh don't go back."

"Who says that?!" Jona asked laughing.

Lee shrugged, "me now. Dude, we had sex in her car."

"Yeh mean my bird's car. She is gonna murda yeh." I said chuckling at the thought.

"Opps..." Lee mumbled.

'Oh man." Tom said in a heap of laughter, "yeh lucky we are leavin' town. Macy would beat yeh wif her cast."

"Oh I'm tellin' her too." I said amusingly as I grabbed my cell phone out of my pocket while I went to my bunk.

"Already missing me?" She asked once she answered.

I laughed, "Yes but I was callin' to tell yeh, that yeh best friend slept wif Lee in yeh car."

"What?!" she yelled and I tried not to laugh.

"Leslie! I hate you!" She yelled clearly still in the car with her.

I chuckled, "baby..."

"Tell Lee he is dead when I see him." She said cutting me off.

"Bloody hell woman what have yeh become?" I teased.

"Thanks a lot Matt!" I heard Leslie yell.

"Shut up you slut." Macy said causing me to laugh.

"I'm startin' ta fink who yeh are 'round meh is an act."

She laughed, "it's not." She said as I heard her close the car door.

"I propa miss yeh. I wish yeh were here." I said softly. I couldn't help, but be mushy when it came to her. It was hard not to be.

"Back at you. So when do you have a break?"

I laughed, "betta not beh too long cause a lad like meh needs ta shag a prettah bird frequently."

"Oh? Well it better not be anyone besides me."

"Whoaaa. Did you just get defensive of meh?"

She laughed and I spoke, "It is only yeh. I swear it."

"Better." She mumbled and I laughed, "yeh my bird baby, why would I want anyone else?"

"I never said you did."

"Basically yeh did."

"No I just said you better not look at another girl."

"Um, well we have female fans. So that might be hard." I joked.

"Not what I meant and you know it."

I laughed, "I know. Just messin' wif yeh. Yeh have nuffin ta worry bout. I only want yeh my love."

"Lucky me."

"Oh that sounds sarcastic."

"Maybe..."

I laughed, "look, when I come back I want my sweet bird back."

"I'll work on that."

I yawned tired from the show and closed my eyes, "Baby..."

"Yes?"

"I'm tired."

She chuckled, "well I'll let you go so you can sleep."

"Ok, I'll call yeh tomorrow. I love yeh, sweet dreams my lil bird."

"Goodnight. Love you."

Once I hung up with her I instantly fell asleep from exhaustion. We arrived in the next city by the time I woke up. Waking up without Macy was as bad as I remembered.

I groaned and forced myself out of the bunk. I went into the bathroom and showered and got ready quickly. Once out I fell onto the couch next to Lee who gave me an odd look.

"I propa miss my bird."

He rolled his eyes, "fuckin' kill meh."

Jona laughed, "give him a break. He's in love."

"Well it's gross and annoyin'."

"Yeh a machine." Jona said chuckling and Lee shrugged.

"I want my bird!" I said just to annoy Lee although it was true.

Lee groaned covering his ears, "ugh someone bring her back I can't deal wif him!"

Tom chuckled from his computer, "someone's jealous."

"Sod off."

I chuckled, "so, can we not get out?"

"Yeah, but were waitin' on them to set up." Oli stated.

I nodded and pulled my phone from my pocket to text Macy of course.

'Good morning/afternoon my love. Have a good day at class. :)'

'Thanks. :) have a good show.'

'Yeahhhh. I'll try. I miss you already. :('

'No. I miss you!'

'I also realized how shitty it is waking up without you.'

'It is colder without you.'

'I'm the only one who's cold since you have my jacket. ;p'

'Haha. True. Sorry. I'm going into class. :( call me after the show?'

'Of course doll. If I don't, call me. I might have fell asleep.'

'Haha. Ok. Love youuuu.'

I chuckled and placed my phone back in my pocket. I looked up to see everyone staring at me.

"What?"

"Seriously? Yeh becomin' a fuckin' twat." Lee stated seriously.

"Yeah? Bet I can still kick yeh arse." I said seriously and he shrugged.

"I fink it's a nice change for dear Matty." Oli said chuckling.

"Course yeh would, dad." Lee said and even I couldn't contain my laughter.

"Where is my lil friend?" I asked and Oli rolled his eyes, "in the back room asleep wif his mum."

"Juss fink mate, if Matty married Macy, yeh'd be related." Lee said laughing.

Oli shot me a look, "stay away from meh cousin."

I laughed, "too late now. She propa loves meh."

"At least that's what she's tellin' yeh. Classic Sykes move."

"When did we ever do that?" Tom asked giving him a look.

"Oh. Maybeh it was juss meh."

I laughed, "wow..."



The show went well and after I changed and we were all heading to the bus I realized my phone was missing.

"Wait. I don't have meh phone." I said patting my pockets hoping it would appear.

"Did yeh bring it in?"

"Yeah!" I said now a bit panicked.

"Com on I'll help yeh." Oli said and we quickly turned back to go into the venue.

"I swear I had it."

"Well fink, did yeh have it when we went ta do that meet and greet?" He asked as we looked around the dressing room.

"Yeah it was in my back pocket." I said trying to remember exactly.

Oli's phone began to ring and he quickly pulled it from his pocket.

"Uh, mate. Yeh callin' meh." He said giving me a confused look.

I narrowed my eyes at him and he put it to his ear, "uh, ello?"

"Uh, yeah this is Oli...who is this?"

I watched anxiously and Oli rolled his eyes, "ok well can yeh meet us at the front of tha venue?"

"Yeah. Bye." He said hunging up.

"Well?"

"Some bloody girl found it conviently."

"Great..." I grumbled following him out.

Once we reached the front of the venue I sighed waiting on the girl.

"Watch her be a teenage fan girl."

"Oye have some faith. Plus, she probably juss wants ta see meh." Oli said and I rolled my eyes, "probably."

He chuckled and I finally noticed 2 girls walking towards us.

"Shoot meh." I mumbled crossing my arms.

"Here you go." The girl said handing me my phone.

"Fanks." I mumbled looking through my phone.

"Some girl kept calling." She said and I groaned, "yeh anwered it?!"

"She kept calling!"

I groaned, "great. Just bloody great. My bird's gonna fink I'm like cheatin' on her."

"You have a girlfriend?" The blonde girl asked.

"Yeah." I mumbled not bothering to say bye as I walked away dialing Macy's number.

She didn't answer and I grew nervous. I redialed quickly and called about 3 more times and she finally picked up.

"What?" She said sounding a bit annoyed.

"Macy. Don't bloody hang up on meh let meh explain." I said quickly.

She didn't speak and I sighed, "ok, I lost my phone before tha show and apparently some girls found it. So I'm not sure what was said to yeh, but I juss got it back. Yeh can even ask Oli he was wif meh."

"Ok."

"Macy, don't yeh truss meh?" I said softly.

"Yeah I'm just pissed off."

"What was said?"

"Nothing important just aggravated me..."

I sighed, "look, I'm sorrah yet again."

"It's fine." She mumbled.

"I love yeh and if I was inta hittin girls I would smack them for yeh."

She chuckled, "don't do that."

I laughed, "juss sayin'. Yeh beyond crazy if yeh fink I would even dare cheat on yeh."

"I know." She said softly.

"Yeh my lil bird."

"I know." She groaned and I laughed, "I know yeh secretly like meh callin' yeh that."

She sighed, "just as long as it's just you."

"No one betta be callin' yeh their bird besides meh!"

"They aren't. We're in America."

I laughed, "did yeh have a good day? Well before this."

"Yeah not so bad. You?"

"Yeah not so bad." I mocked causing her to laugh, "you're silly."

"Madly in love is what I am. Lee told me he wanted yeh to come back so I'd stop talkin' about yeh."

"Awe you talk about me?"

"I fink bout yeh 99% of tha time already so course I do."

"So what you're saying is that you need to come home?"

I laughed, "I need yeh ta come here."

"I'm sorry."

I sighed, "well I'm beat. I'm gonna go to bed. And just so we're clear, I have been sober since I left yeh."

"Good. Go get some sleep. I love you."

"Love yeh baby. Bye."

I fell onto the couch wth a sigh as Oli walked on, "did yeh talk to her?"

"Yeah she was livid wif meh. But we're ok now."

He nodded and I closed my eyes, "ready for this tour to be ova."

"Wouldn't be so bad if she would come." He stated.

"Yeah, well, she's in school. How did I get a smart bird?"

He laughed, "I was wonderin' the same fing."

"Oye..." i said glaring at him.

"yeh said it!" He said and we both laughed. How I got her in general was still a mystery to me.
