It had been a few weeks since the tour started. I had even begun to grow a beard. I sent pictures of my new thing and me to Bailey. She said I looked like a homeless man, I laughed it off and decided she was right, so the beard went.

It was Saturday morning and I was sitting at our so-called Lyric desk on the bus. I was writing a letter to Bailey. I missed her so much. She was part of my new life now and I didn't ever want to be away from her. Our honeymoon hadn't gone well, I wanted to make up for it. I was chewing on the tip of my pen when all the guys came in at once all talking about something or another.

I turned around and seen more than just four guys, I seen AJ's mom and his girlfriend Mandy, I seen Howie's girlfriend Savannah. Brian, Leighanne and their daughter Hannah. And Kevin, his wife Kristen and their two-month-old twins Rebecca and Marshall. I turned around and picked up my letter. I slowly got up so no one would see me. I didn't want to bother any one with my troubles. I quietly sat in my bunk letting tears drop on the paper.

"Nick, you're a 21 year old man. You can't cry." I said to myself harshly. If Bailey were there she would have told me everyone cries, its okay to cry. But she wasn't, so it wasn't okay. I looked at my cell phone.

I smiled. I quickly picked it up and dialed my home. It was 10:00 in the morning where I was. London England, making it 5 am where my wife was.

"Hello?" her soft tired voice asked.

"Hey honey, sorry did I wake you?" I asked.

"Yeah but is everything okay?" Her voice had a little edge at it. I smiled knowing how much she cared.

"No, I was just upset."

I could picture her in my mind right now, Her slender form, her short blonde hair, her pink cheeks, and her full smile.

"About what honey?" I could see her right in our bed holding the covers a little above her chest, sitting with the light on, the light shinning off she silky nightgown.

"I was just lonely, all the other guys brought their families along. I just missed you that's all." I was fiddling my fingers hoping that my truthful guilt trip would work.

"Nick, you know if I could come with you I would, but they said it was best that I didn't, just in case of crazed fans."

I sighed, yet again my beautiful wife was right.

"But..." She stretched the word but... "But I miss you so much, I'll catch a plane today and be there as soon as possible, try to wait for me in the airport, but if you can't send ruby or Michael to come and get me."

My heart pounded I loved my wife more than anything, and I was so happy to being able to see her. I hung up the phone and promptly called our female bodyguard Ruby. Ruby was going to pick Bailey up an hour before our London concert began. Little did I know that her coming to London was all part of Brian's surprise.
