The Final String (Book 3 of the Red String Trilogy)

Chapter 1

Good I think... really busy, her and Emma have been in and out of the studio she's really enjoying writing music and it sounds really good even if most of it is a love song about her boyfriends eyebrows -Vana

Don't you mean her fiance? ;) -Skyler

Still can't believe that's happening -Vana

I feel the car jolt as it comes to a stop, and Nick pats my leg before stepping out of the car to grab the bags.

I got to go hang in there Dr. Phil -Skyler

Oh and tell Nat to call me!! -Skyler

Nick opens the door for me and I'm met with the familiar sight of sight of an airport parking lot. "Ready?" he asks me. I take one final look around the city, I take a deep exhale, a smile on my face. "Ready."

Natalie's POV

I roll over on my side as Calum pulls me closer to him. "No...don't go...not yet..." Calum mumbles as he presses lazy kisses to the back of my neck. "I want coffee!" I say as I get his arms off of me before I quickly put on my bra and boyshorts which were tossed to the side in last night's rush to get to bed.

"C'mon babe, why you gotta go down for breakfast? I mean, I'm sure there's something else that I can give you..." Calum says, wiggling his eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes, before saying "When we're married this better not be every night." "Oh trust me, it will." Calum jokes and I throw his flannel over my shoulders doing up a few of the buttons.

I'm about to leave the bedroom before Cal says "Wait Nat!" I turn around before he says "Do another one of the buttons up." I realize that it's showing my obvious clevage but I don't give into Cal easily before I walk back over, leaning forward so he can get a clear view down my shirt. "Is this bothering you Cal?" I ask innocently.

Calum grits his teeth before he says "I'm not lettin the other boys looking at my girl." "Eh I think that if I keep it at this it'll just show'em what they're missing." I say with a wink and with that, I turn around shut the door behind me before heading downstairs.

"Hey boys!" I say walking into the kitchen as I see Luke and Michael raise their heads. "Hey Nat." they say back and I look to see that someone's made coffee. "Who made coffee?" I ask and Michael raises his hand and I go over, putting his head in my hands and whispering "God bless your soul Clifford." "Um...okay?" he says and I immediately go over, grabbing a mug and pouring myself a cup of coffee.

Suddenly the door slams and Ashton walks into the kitchen. "Why is no one ready?" he asks looking around in shock. "Ready for what...??" I ask taking a sip of the coffee. God, I love coffee. Ashton's eyes widen before he yells "We're going to New York today? I thought I let everyone know of that last night?!" I look between the boys as I take a sip of my coffee.

"Well Calum might've missed the memo..." I say and Ashton rolls his eyes before he says "That's it! Everyone better be in the van in 5 minutes pronto!" He leaves and I then go to the staircase before yelling up the stairs to Cal. "Cal! Pack your bags! You guys are headed to New York!"

"Seriously?" I hear Calum say and in a minute he's coming back down the stairs, a bag in one hand. "I'm assuming all the instruments are already in the van?" "Yes now hurry up!" Ashton yells and Michael comes down the stairs, along with Luke as they head outside.

Calum's about to go before I say "Wait!" I realize that Calum's wearing the black zip up hoodie- my favourite hoodie of his. We had promised that wherever he went, he would always leave the hoodie behind so that I could wear it. "You realize what you're wearing right?" I say as I put my hand on Calum's shoulder.
