The next few weeks were like heaven. I was loving my job, my boss loves me and me and Mikey were really close - almost as if nothing happened. Everything was going perfectly, I even managed to catch-up with Scarlet and Leighton.

At this moment in time I had currently been back with Mikey for a month and so far we had successfully not been spotted but I didn't want to take any chances, which means that whenever we go out I always had sunglasses on and my hood up. However, even though we haven't been spotted magazines are wondering who Mikey's mysterious girl is. I even have to be careful at work because Michelle is asking everybody to keep an eye out.

Today was Friday - I had the afternoon off to spend some time with my mum before she moves back to England next week. I only had to go into work to hear this 'special announcement' and nobody has any idea what it is.

Suddenly Lostprophets started blasting out of my phone telling me that it was time to get up for work. I rolled over and switched my alarm off then I cuddled back up to Mikey resting my head on his chest. In return he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head making me smile.

"Babe? I thought that meant you had to get up for work?" Mikey whispered with a sleep filled voice.

"Five more minutes." I muttered into his chest.

"No, Belle, get up now." He replied then added, "or I'll tickle you." He moved his hands to my hips to emphasis his point.

"I'm up!" I sat up quickly and he laughed at me. "Oh shut up." I mumbled climbing out of bed and started getting dressed.

Once I was dressed and had my hair and make up sorted I kissed Mikey goodbye, grabbed my phone and bag, and one oof his hoodies and left smiling. It had become a regular thing of me staying at his - well his hotel room - on a Thursday night.

The hotel he was staying at had one of those long stay options which he was currently using and which the label were paying for. Mikey wasn't staying with Gerard and Scarlet because of her mood swings and he wasn't staying with Frank and Leighton because they were still all lovey-dovey.

I walked to work because it was only a couple of blocks away from the hotel Mikey was staying in which was pretty handy. When I arrived I went straight to the meeting room to wait for Michelle to tell us this news."

A few seconds after I had taken a seat around the table michelle walked in and sat in the seat at the head of the table.

"Okay, so I'll let you know you're all here when today is some people's day off." She greeted us, "the band My Chemical Romance are starting an American tour on Wednesday." This was news to me, "and we've spoken to the manager and he's letting one of you lovely people go with them and write a tour piece about them. You'll be travelling with them and the label are paying for you to go. Only one catch, the person who gets it has to go and be in the meeting with the band when the manager informs them what's going to happen.

"My choice is entirely based upon my opinion of this person and who I think will report it to the best of their ability. I say this goes to Belle. Now get over to their studios for the meeting there." She walked out again. Shit. This is up to me and just me. I'm screwed. I can't even believe she chose me. I'm so going to fuck this up. Big style.

I left a few minutes later and went home to get changed before I headed over to the labels office. I got to my house and instantly got changed into the outfit I was going to wear to see my mum in later.

I managed to get changed, re-do my make-up and curl my hair slightly within fifteen minutes. I left the house and got a taxi to the labels New York offices. When I arrived I saw Mikey, Gerard and Frank all stood outside smoking. I decided to stop near them and root through my bag pretending I was looking for something.

"You told Belle we're going on tour yet?" Gerard asked his brother blowing smoke out.

"I don't know how to tell her, I don't want to leave her." He replied looking at his feet.

"It's not like she'll be by herself, Leighton and Scarlet are staying. Plus she does have a job." Frank pointed out to him.

"True, I'll tell her tonight after she's seen her mom." Mikey sounded happier now. "We better go up anyway, it sounded important on the phone."

They all walked into the building and I followed, I went over to reception whereas the guys went straight through. Once I was checked in I followed the receptionists directions to the room the meeting was going to be held in. I got there as their manager was about to enter the room.

"Excuse me." I called out and thankfully he stopped and looked at me.

"Are oyu the journalist Michelle picked?" He asked me and I nodded, "you're just in time for the meeting. What's your name?"

"Belle Pattinson." I replied smiling.

"Well, welcome to the madness Belle." He usheered me into the room and I took the only avaible seat, which was covenitantly next to Mikey. I wasn't surprised none of them recognised me as they've never seen me look like this before.

"Well guys, this is the last meeting before you leave for tour on Wednesday. Really this meeting was kind of important so I'm thankful all of you could come along at such short notice. A magazine called Music Is The Heart has asked if we minded if one of their journalists could do a tour piece on you. This means that the journalist will be travelling with you across America. I told them you wouldn't mind this because this piece could help you get more fans and from speaking to the lucky person I know we'll get good publicity. Guys, this is the journalist who will be touring with you." Everybody looked at me. "She's called Belle Pattinsoon, I want you to look after her."

I had to try very hard not to laugh at the fact that when my name was said that Gerard's, Mikey's and Frank's eyebrows disappeared into their hair. It was just so funny but I know I'm going to get questioned later when we're alone.

"Belle, I'll give you this and we've just received an e-mail with your details in. The bus will pick you up at ten on Wednesday morning which means you're free to go." He handed me a piece of paper with the tour details on.

"Thanks, I'll see you all on Wednesday." I got up and left, and as soon as I had left the room my phone beeped telling me I had a message.

Meet me outside the building in five. We need to talk. Mikey xx

I couldn't help but smile. He thinks that he's just going to be the one with something to say, but no, he's in for it for not telling me in the first place. I walked outside the building and waited while reading the tour details. From the looks of it we're going to be gone for a good month or so.

"You could have warned me." Mikey announced his presense bringing me out of my head.

"Y'know I had a right shock when I got into work this morning. Not only did Michelle tell us that one of us was going on tour with a band and write a tour diary piece but that that band will be My Chemical Romance. Imagine my surprise when my boss tells me that the band my boyfriend is in is going on tour - next week might I add - before my actual boyfriend tells me." I say everything that comes to mind and it leaves him speechless. "I thought so."

"I'm sorry, I was going to tell you tonight after you aw yyour mom. Then because if I told you before you would be upset. I was going to tell you, I wasn't just going to leave without saying goodbye." He managed to say back to me. "Please believe me." He added quietly.

"It's a good job you're cute or I'd never forgive you." I replied and he just smiled his signature smile back at me. "Don't you think you better get back to that meeting now anyway?" I asked him after a couple of minutes.

"Nope, he said we could go after giving us a lecture on keeping you safe and looking after you; which was pointless for me." He replied stiill smiling.

"Really? I thought he might have mentioned no keeping secrets and remembering your girlfriend isn't too fond of surprises." I say smiling back at him.

"Well, sorry. Let me start making it up to you." Suddenly Mikey's lips were on mine.

"Mikey?" I heard a guy say from behind me.

"Shit." Mikey whispered against my lips then he lifted his head, "hey Ray."

"Thanks for blowing the good publicity dude." Ray responded.

"Belle this is Ray, Ray this is Belle - my girlfriend." Mikey replied to his comment.

"Wait, the girlfriend that only the band knows a brief existance about? The girlfriend who is always to busy to meet us?" Ray was confused. Even I could see that.

"Yeah, that's me. For the record, I'm not too busy to meet you; I as just scared about how you would react when you found out I'm a journalist." I spoke up, while checking my phone for the time. I was supposed to be meeting my mum in five minutes. "I'll let Mikey explain the details about all the secreticy as I have to go. Nice meeting you." I shake Ray's hand. "Remember, be round mine for about sevenish. Bye." I kiss Mikey and walk off down the street heading for Starbucks where I was meeting my mum.

Typical that my mum was already there when I arrived; she also had a coffee waiting for me. That means she haas to tell me something serious, which also meant that it was bad. I walked over to her and sat down now dreading this meeting with her.

"Hi Belle." She greeted me over her coffee cup.

"Hey, what's the occasion?" I ask playing stupid while picking my coffee cup up.

"Why are you dressed up smartly dear? You didn't think you had to impress your mum did you or was there a meeting?" She changed the subject making me think that this has definittely got to be bad.

"There was a couple of meetings I had to go to this morning and before you ask, it was nothing bad." I answer her searching her tired looking face for any clues as to what her news might be.

"Oh, you going to tell me?" She asked me smiling.

"You remember Mikey, Gerard and Frank?" She nodded. "Well, they're in this band that I interviewed a month ago and they're goin on tour on Wednesday, and I've been asked to go with them and write a tour diary piece about them." By the time I had finished I knew I was smiling.

"Wow, well done dear. Didn't you used to go out with Mikey?" She seemed proud that I'd been offered this.

"Yeah and I am again. Frank and Leighton are still together and Gerard and Scarlet are not only still together but they're expecting a baby as well." I informed her.

"Aww, I'm happy for them all and I'm glad you have someone." She replies genuiely happy that I'm no longer single.

"Mum, what's the real reason behind meeting me today?" I ask looking down at my coffee on the table. I heard her sigh.

"It's so I can tell you the reason behind me going back to England." She told me quietly. "Before I tell you I want you to know that I'm proud of everything that you've done and that I've always had faith in you, even when you were in that coma. I want you to promise me that you're not going to make yourself ill over this, I want you to live life to it's fullest - especially when you go on tour. And you better promise me that you'll let Mikey look after you as I won't be able to anymore."

"Okay, mum, you're slightly scaring me now." I reply simply.

"Promise me." Was her reply.

"I promise you. Now what's going on?" I was really becoming scared now.

"I'm going back to england to patch everything up with everybody which I left undone before we moved here. This is including your dad, he deserves to know that I forgive him."

"You forgive him? He cheated on you! How can you forgive him for that?" I was getting worked up now.

"Because I'm dying Belle." She replied quietly. I suddenly became speechless.

"What?" I asked just as quietly.

"I'm dying. I have cancer." My mum told me and I didn't know how to react to this news. Before I could react though she spoke again. "I've accepted it, the treatments have only brought me a month more time. I'm going back to England to sort everything out so I can go on my terms."

I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I wanted to kick the table over. I wanted to wake up so all of this is a nightmare. But most of all I wanted to hug my mum and not let her go.

"Belle, enjoy yourself on tour. Good luck with the article I know you'll do well with it. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine and most importantly remember that I'll always love you." She kissed my cheek and left.

My mum left me for the last time and I didn't say anything. I just let her go.
