I'll be yours

Chapter 22

I got sick a few more times with Ashton holding my hair and carefully rubbing circles on my back. After I washed my mouth out and pulled my hair into a ponytail. "You should go see a doctor. They gave me some medicine for it when we first started traveling" he suggested watching me through the bathroom mirror. I nodded and turned the fort handle to exit.
We came out of the bathroom door to many concerned faces.
"What?" I asked defensively
"We heard you hurling" Michael laughed.
"It was gross, you guys weren't in there with her." Ashton made his way to the cupboard to get me a glass of water. The bus turned and most of the freshly filled glass spilled onto Ashton's black cutoff t-shirt and gym shorts.
The tiny room erupted with Luke's laughter that I had missed so much. It was beautiful the way his face strained and he hunched over slightly.
"Luke you sound like a whale" Michael gasped between laughs at the sight of Luke.
"Shush" Luke said climbing on top of Michaels lap and placing his hand over his mouth.

We were only a few minutes away from where we were staying, but Michaels appetite was vicious. So we decided to stop at a burger place.
"Hi sweetie what would you like" a small Italian woman asked me from the side of the table. "I'll have the deluxe burger with some pickles and a side of peanut butter" I ordered playing with the straw of my coke.
"Lia you hate peanut butter" Luke whispered.
"Not today I guess" I shrugged slightly.
"I understand baby I have 6 kids" the woman patted my shoulder and moved to take Ashton's order.
What did her having kids have to do with anything?
I brushed off her comment and continued to listen intently on the boys orders.
After we ate out food( which May I say I did very quickly) we all piled back onto the bus and rode to the hotel.

When we made it to the hotel we were to stay at for the night, we unpacked and decided to get Taco Bell. Luke offered to drive Michael, and Ashton wanted to tag along. Leaving me and Calum.
"Was it worth it?" Calum said pulling me from my thoughts as I was choosing a show to watch.
I sighed. "No Calum it wasn't."
"I told you you would hurt him."
"You did it too."
"Not twice" he pointed out smugly.
I stood up.
"Fuck you Calum."
"Listen Lia I'm down for acting like we cant stand each other when Luke's around. But it seemed the other night that you had feelings. You can't tell me you didn't feel anything" his voice became softer toward the end. Calum liked me. Fuck.
"No Calum. I was drunk, it was a stupid decision. You didn't feel anything either" I denied him quickly.
"Lia..." I stood up and picked up one of Luke's shirts. I changed in the bathroom. Washing my face and pulling my hair up, trying to erase what just happened from my mind. When I exited the bathroom, Calum was standing outside the door. "Luke's really lucky" he said. I could see tears surfacing in his eyes as he placed a kiss on my lips.
The other guys came in and were unloading bags onto the counter as soon as he pulled his lips from mine.
"What the fuck" Luke's voice echoed through the room.
It was about time he knew anyway.
