Realistic or Modern Falling. Fading Away

[Forever6A7X]

Noah sighed heavily and nodded before he got up and left to go get some food.

Max shook her head taking a deep breath before she broke down crying "He said everything is my fault....said I'd be the one to probably kill you because I only make your health worse." She said as she sat beside him

 

[decadent-rider]

He sighed quietly and shook his head. “Look at me. Don’t listen to him. You understand? You have done nothing to make me worse beautiful. It’s only getting that way because it was always going to.” He assured her. “If anything you’ve certainly helped slow it down.” He promised, wiping her tears. “If you…. If being on this tour gets too much, you can go home if you like. I know it was a lot asking you to be in close quarters with everyone when things are still tense so if you don’t want to be here then I understand.” He promised, kissing her gently.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max kissed him back and pressed her forehead to his as she pulled away "I'm not going to leave and let him win. I just- he went for a low blow." She murmured closing her eyes and taking a deep breath "I love you, and I just want to make sure you're as healthy as you can be."

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled tiredly at her. “Alright… well we only got a couple weeks of this left anyway.” He murmured, kissing her cheek and setting his plate on the side, laying back down again.

Carmen was exhausted from dealing with the new kittens plus Eden being sick plus the cops not handling her stalker very well and she was truly spent until she got a call from Nick two weeks into the four week tour and she frowned at the tone of his voice. “Hey…. What’s going on?” She asked, putting him on speaker while she got chores done around the house.

 

[Forever6A7X]

As they neared the end of the tour Max sat in the dressing room with Ricky smiling wide at him "Babe! Give me an update for the lovely fans!" She teased as she recorded an instagram video of him. The past few days had thankfully been pretty good for him and he was starting to gain his weight back as well.

Nick frowned deeply as he watched Noah pace back and forth in the front lounge of the bus mid panic attack "Hey, Carmen....we need you here. Its not good and its getting worse." He explained before giving a heavy sigh "We're trying to get him calm but its not working."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and paused but then shook her head. “He’s been fine every time I’ve spoken to him.” She frowned. “How bad is it?” She asked him, going to clean out the water fountains for the cats and already thinking out the logistics.

He turned slowly and looked at her, a little exasperated at this point. “Babe. You do that to me one more time today I’m buying you a plane ticket home.” He told her, only half joking. “I get it damn.” He chuckled.

Vinny was texting in the other corner and grinned. “Max I give you a hundred bucks to keep doing it to him every day the rest of tour.” He told her. They’d all gone wnd complained to her that Ricky was driving them nuts asking for updates every few hours.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Nick frowned deeply and shook his head some "Look at your phone." He muttered before turning it to facetime and pointing it to show her Noah "He won't listen to us, he just keeps pacing and muttering." He explained

Max laughed happily and smiled as she leaned over giving him a kiss "Mmm I'll give you a break." She murmured happily running her fingers gently through his hair. She pulled away only a bit and gasped when she felt a shirt get thrown at their heads with Vinny yelling to get a room.

 

[decadent-rider]

Ricky rolled his eyes a little but smiled at her. “You set up a visit with Carmen yet?” He asked knowing that’s what she’d spent a while doing on the phone earlier.

She frowned and sighed heavily. “Give me a minute.” She muttered, hanging up and calling Noah, waiting til he picked up FaceTime and she saw him smiling and sat on the couch but looking closer she could see how strained he really looked. “Hey… shit sorry babe I uh… that was a butt dial…. How’s your day going?” She asked, texting Nick that she would meet them in Chicago while she went to get her laptop and book flights.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled and nodded "Yeah sure did, in a month or so, once tour is finished up." She said softly keeping close to him "How are you so handsome?"

Noah smiled wide when Carmen's name popped up on his phone keeping his facade up the best he could "Day is fine babe, just relaxing on the bus."

 

[decadent-rider]

“That’s good… Edens asleep. She’s slowly going down a lot easier without you. Can’t wait to start that all over again next time you go away.” She mumbled. “She can’t wait to see dad in a couple weeks though. Is always looking around for you in our room and in the studio.” She smiled. “I better go, I was in the middle of something. Be good. Love you.” She smiled and hung up once he said goodbye, finishing booking the flight and going to pack a bag each for them.

He smiled and shook his head at hee some “I think it’s the lighting in here. Tricking your eyes.” He winked at her. “You gonna be brave and fly out without me?” He asked, smiling a little as stood up to go get a drink out the mini fridge.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah sighed heavily as she hung up the phone and put his head in his hands. He took deep breaths and went through his steps to try and calm down a bit.

Max rolled her eyes and smiled "Yes, I'm a big girl, I can fly on my own." She murmured as she sat back some "You feeling good?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He shrugged. “I don’t wanna jinx it but I’ve felt pretty normal the past few days. Think I’ve kept busy enough I haven’t had time to notice though too.”

Within just a few hours she was on the plane to Chicago, trying to keep Eden settled. She’d got a good friend to house sit and watch the cats for her, texting Noah before take off that she was gonna be without cell service for a bit at her moms so he didnt panic before turning her phone off and sighing. “Let’s go see daddy.” She murmured to Eden, keeping her on her lap.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small smile and nodded "Thats good to hear. Hopefully we can keep it that way." She said before yawning "When do the meet and greets start?"

Noah gave a heavy sigh as he sat there just doing his best to get calmed down. He looked over at Nick when he came in and sighed seeing the look on his face "I got it under control."

 

[decadent-rider]

He shrugged. “You keep saying that and every day you’re getting worse… I’m pointing it out cause I give a damn. “ he pointed out. “They got you in your own room at the hotel in Chicago. If you need anything though I’m next door.” He told him.

Carmen arrived in Chicago a little worried but she got a taxi sorted to the hotel, meeting Matt in the lobby and getting a key card sorted, taking a now very sleepy Eden up to the room they’d said Noah was in, going inside to find him mid panic attack on the floor with Nick crouched in front of him. “Oh Noah…” she sighed quietly.

“We got half an hour. You wanna get dinner after? Just us?” He asked. They really hadn’t had that much time to themselves this tour and he knew it was starting to get to her a little

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah looked up when he heard Carmen's voice. He was hyperventilating and trying to get himself together "Car...Carmen? What....what are you doing here?" He asked

Max smiled softly and nodded some "Yeah I'd like that a lot." She murmured before kissing him gently "I say when we get home we hide away, maybe go on a hike and just have it be for us."

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled. “I was thinking maybe we go up to see my parents? For a week. It’s away from most stuff.” He told her.

Carmen set Edens stroller to the side and went over to him, sitting next to him and cupping his face. “Because I know when you need help.” She murmured, winking at Nick. “Plus a little birdie told me you could do with seeing your girls.” She smiled trying to get him settled seeing him look up at her stroller. “She’s asleep right now.” She murmured. “But she’s gonna be so excited to see you.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled wider and nodded "I think that would be great." She murmured "They aren't mad about us eloping are they?"

Noah gave a small nod and smiled just a bit as he eventually started to relax "I missed you guys so much." He whispered as he pressed his forehead to hers.

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head. “Dad was a little disappointed but mom apparently always thought I would.” He smiled some. “But they’d just want a couple days with us and the rest of the time we could have peace and quiet.”

She frowned and nodded, rubbing his chest gently, thanking Nick as he left them to it now, holding moah tightly. “We missed you too…. You should have told me how bad it’s got though.” She murmured, taking a hair tie and tying his hair away from his face.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled some and gave a nod "I still need to call my mother." She murmured before pecking his cheek when he came to sit beside her again.

Noah gave a heavy sigh and shut his eyes tight "I didn't want to stress you out further." He said quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned but nodded. “You gonna be alright to do your VIP stuff in a little bit? I thought maybe we could go get some late lunch quick. I’m starving.” She smiked at him.

He nodded slowly, starting to rub at his temples a little as a headache was forming, getting up again to go get some painkillers

 

[Forever6A7X]

Noah nodded a bit "Yeah I think that would be great." He murmured smiling widely when he heard Eden gurgling in the stroller "Sounds like someone is awake."

Max got on her phone and scrolled through her social media frowning deeply as she saw comments about how frail Ricky was looking to the fans.

 

[decadent-rider]

He said ent back to sit with her again after he’d found them, smiling as she quickly closed instagram. “Do I even ask what you were looking at?” He mumbled, kissing her temple.

Carmen got up and went to get her out, bringing her over to Noah and watching her get silly excited to see him, passing her over and taking a video or the two of them

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max closed out instagram and gave a small smile "Just seeing fan comments is all." She murmured smiling as he kissed her temple "I love you babe."

Noah smiled widely when Eden got excited and quickly took her into his arms "Oh I missed you too princess." He cooed before kissing all over her face

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head. “You can’t be looking at all that beautiful.” He told her, “it’s not doing any of us any good.” He reminded her, getting up to go take a leak before the meet and greet stuff, starting to feel a little lightheaded.

Carmen smiled at them both, gojng to freshen up in the bathroom a little and came back out, “let me change her real quick then we can go. And you’ve been sweating so change your shirt.” She told him, pecking his cheek but frowned when he wouldn’t let go of Eden. “Noah… two minutes then you can have her again.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small sigh and nodded "I know, but I can't help it sometimes." She murmured before he went off. She got up and decided she'd sit on the side for the meet and greets tonight just wanting to make sure Ricky was okay.

Noah frowned when she tried to take Eden out of his arms "Alright....but just two minutes." He said quietly before he let her go and went to change into a new shirt.
