-Oli's POV-
*Two weeks later*
I was awoken by the annoying bleep of my phone the next morning.
My mouth tasted of nothing but alcohol. I groaned and tried to sit up, only to slowly fall back down again.
My head. I must of drank a lot last night. I've not felt this bad in months.
Fucking hate hangovers.
I ruffled my hair with my fingers, and picked up my phone off the bedside table.
*1 new message*
Sender: Unknown
Baby. :( I'm so sorry. I miss you.
Although the number was unknown, I automatically knew who it was. Katia.
Yeah right, like I'd accept an apology from her.
I turned my phone off, and rolled out of bed.
I had a quick shower, got dressed, and ate some breakfast.
Nobody was on the bus, apart from the driver and I.
He was sleeping in the back room, results of a long drive I guess.
I popped two paracetamol in my mouth, one after the other, and swallowed them with some water.
Right, plans for today... Get a haircut, and my fucking beard/tash tended to.

''Hello?'' She answered. I ran my hand through my newly cut hair, and bit my lip.
''Hi, Texas.'' I mumbled. I heard her swallow. We haven't spoke in a while, even though we've been on the same tour.
''Oh, Oli!'' She exclaimed. ''Ven was just talking about you!'' I heard my daughter mumbling something incoherent in the background. I lightly chuckled.
''Tell the little lady that I love her, and that I'll see her soon'' I assumed I was on loudspeaker because Ven shouted 'I love you too Daddy.'
I heard Texas laugh.
''I'll be back in a minute baby. You stay here with Uncle CC, okay?'' She told Ven, then I heard a door open, and her stepping outside.
I could hear the light wind blow, as she lit a cigarette.
I wish she'd give up.
''I'm back. Sorry about that, I-'' She stopped herself. ''Why'd you call me, Oli?''
My palms were sweating. I felt so nervous talking to her, for some reason.
She used to be my girlfriend, and I have a baby with her. Relax, Oli.
''I... I wanted to just talk, I guess...''
''Oh. You can come over to our bus, and we can talk here. All the boys are on here, but-''
''My bus is empty, you wanna come over here instead?'' I crossed my fingers mentally.
''Sure! Let me just put some lipstick on, and I'll be right over.''
I smiled to myself after she hung up.
~I heard a knock on the door fifteen minutes later.
I hurriedly stood up, and smoothed out my tshirt. Then ruffled my hair with my hands.
''Hello'' She smiled brightly, after I opened the door. My breath almost caught in my throat.
She looked more beautiful than the last time I saw her.
She still had super long hair, only it was dyed a different colour. Like, a coral pink, but the lightest shade.
It was tied into a neat ponytail.
Her face was so beautiful. She was so beautiful.
She wore a white plain dress, with some spiked heels. Simple, but still lovely.
''Your hair looks great'' She grinned, wrapping me in a small hug.
I caught a whiff of her perfumed, sweet scent as I pulled away after the hug, and smiled.
''I was about to say the same thing about yours'' I chuckled lightly.
She blushed a little, and sat down on the sofa.
I joined her, after pouring us both a glass of coke each.
She thanked me, and sipped some.
Let's just get on with it.
''Texas.....''
She looked up at me with her beautiful blue eyes. I almost got lost in them.
''Yes.....?'' She smiled.
''I..'' I sighed. ''I don't want to ramble and-''
I took a deep breath.
''I love you.'' I said confidently. ''I always have.'' I whispered the last party quietly.
