I'm gonna consider this my Christmas present to you. It seemed like a spur of the moment kind of chapter. So...yeah:D

Brianna's POV:
I’m gonna start off saying that getting a tattoo isn’t that bad. Don’t judge me just yet. I’m simply saying that because today, I decided to get my belly button pierced. I know it shouldn’t seem that bad after the tattoo but according to some people I’ve talked to and Jill, apparently it hurts.
I don’t want to seem like a baby but I can endure pain, it’s just that I don’t like the healing process after getting the piercing done. Jill says that I can’t take the ring out for 3-4 months. Do you have any idea how long that is? DO YOU? It’s a good portion of the tour, but apparently the tour’s getting extended because there were massive campaigns to get the guys to specific cities.
Beside the point, you may be wondering what brought on the idea of getting my belly button pierced. And the answer to your question is…I’ve always wanted it done but my mom and Joe, in overprotective brother mode, said I couldn’t. However, since I’m twenty years old, I have my own job, and it’s the middle of summer. And seeing how it’s a Sunday and I can sneak away from everybody for a bit, I decided to head out to the tattoo parlor about 4 blocks away.
I didn’t wanna wake the girls up to I ran to my closet grabbed my black skinny jeans and my “sweet rebel” crop top and ran to the bathroom. Since I was rushing, my shower was about 10 minutes. I stepped out, dried off and quickly got dressed. I ran back into my room shoved on a random pair of Nike’s, grabbed my bag, and threw on my Ray-Ban glasses. Checking myself in the mirror to make sure that I look presentable, I quietly left my room and tiptoed down the stairs. I didn’t want to stay and make breakfast, since that would risk someone waking up; so I just went for the front door. Once outside, I got in my car and took off for the parlor.
Unfortunately for me, there was a lot of traffic since it’s 9am and most people are on their way to work. About 15 minutes later, I pulled up at the parlor and headed inside. To be honest, the tattoo parlor wasn’t that bad and felt somewhat comforting. Instead of the interior walls being maroon, they were a royal blue while automatically put me at ease. The walls were covered in tattoo designs, rings for piercings and the employees.
After my quick inspection of the place, I made way over to the desk to be met by an intimidating looking guy that sorta reminded me of Hugh Jackman. Now is the time when my nerves would kick in and I could start to ramble. “Um…er…hi. My n-name’s Brianna, but you can call me Bri because that’s what my friends do. But I’m not really sure if we’re friends since I just came here to get my belly button pierced. Anyway, you can’t tell anyone that I’m getting it done or else they won’t stop staring and I don’t really want any more attention. So…er…yeah. Can you help me?” I guess I rambled a little more than usual because he now had three other people with him and they were all looking at me wide eyes. “Sorry.” I whispered.
I felt extremely embarrassed after that but I guess they found it hilarious because they were doubled over in laughter. I looked up to meet “Mr. Intimidating” and he looked highly amused. “Sorry about the laughter but that was definitely the highlight of my day. My name is Scott. This to my left is Ryan and on my right is Kayla.” (A/N Scott and Kayla won’t come up in the future but I want to put faces to them so Scott with be played by Hugh Jackson. Ryan will be played by Colton Haynes. And Kayla will be played by Emma Stone) I was still embarrassed to I kept my head down and whispered a quick ‘hi.’
“Aww, don’t be afraid, we don’t bite. Just relax. But outta curiosity, why were you so nervous?” When I looked up, I was met with icy blue eyes and a smirk. I’m guessing he was Ryan and I can honestly say that he was attractive. “I was only nervous because everybody I talked to said that getting your belly button pierced hurt. Plus, Scotty over there looks super intimidating. He could probably snap me like a twig but not before I got a few punches in.” Once again, they roared with laughter. UGH! Is this ever gonna end? “Well to make you feel better. It doesn’t hurt that much. I’m not gonna lie but when it get done it sorta hurts and then the first 2 months following are sorta bad because you always have to watch what you wear and make sure that you don’t sleep on your stomach and a whole bunch of other stuff.” Kayla was really insightful and that helped calm my nerves even more.
