Band's Best Friend | 5SOS

Chapter 27

By this time, we are all super tired. We all went inside, and changed into our pajamas. I went over to my duffle to see what my uncle packed me. I look through the items to find some grey sweat pants and one of my ripped up band tees, just like I asked for. I grab the comfortable clothing, and sit on the couch, waiting for the bathroom to be available.

Calum comes out in some flannel pants and a loose grey shirt, Michael's only wearing some boxers and a tank top, and Luke's wearing some sweats and an All Time Low shirt. Just like me except I'm wearing a battered up Blink 182 shirt, one of many.

"My turn" I say getting up and walking over to the bathroom, I also picked up my facial stuff, to take off my makeup and brush my teeth.

I lock the door behind me, and place my clothes on the toilet seat. I grab a hair tie off my wrist and just quickly put my hair up. I grab a makeup wipe and smear off the very little makeup I have on. Then I wash my face and brush my teeth. Since I don't want to use any of their towels, I don't know I feel it's rude, I just take a couple of tissues from a tissue box and pat my face dry. Next I put on my moisturizer, and I can finally change my clothes. My clothes smelled like barbecue and smoke, but not just my clothes, me overall. By the time I come out they moved the coffee table and put two twin-sized air mattresses down next to each other.

"Oh cool! So who's sleeping where?" I ask, placing my stuff back into my bag.

"Well we'll just see who falls asleep first and go from there." Luke said sounding like a toddler. He flips on the TV and goes on Netflix. "How I Met Your Mother anyone?"

"I LOVE HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER!" I squeal, plopping down on one of the air mattresses making Calum bounce up. I giggle slightly and wrap myself in one of the blankets.

"Alrighty then" Luke responds turning on the current season.

Luke's POV

We start watching my favorite show together. We all are on the air mattresses, Calum is closest to the TV laying on his stomach, while burying his face into pillow. Michael is laying down next to him, almost using Calum as a pillow to lay his head on. Julie and I are next to each other leaning against the couch, sharing a blanket. We were both pretty much wearing the same thing, her hair was up all funny, but she didn't care.

We watch intently, snickering whenever something funny happens. I look down at Julie, who brought the blanket up to her nose to cuddle into. She looks so fragile, I just...what am I doing? I have no idea how many times I can admire Julie in a day. She's too broken to love, what ever she's been through I don't want to add up to it. But I certainly do not want her dating anyone else. She deserves the best, and that's all I want for her.

"Staring isn't polite" she whispers looking up at me, meeting my gaze. I look away for a second, feeling a blush creep onto my cheeks embarrassed, but our eyes meet again.

"Sorry, I wasn't...umm sorry" I stutter, getting even more red.

"It's ok" she giggles quietly, leaning her head onto my chest. I open up my arms and wrap them around her, bringing her closer. She cuddles into me, and my heart beat speeds up, but then I relax as I lay my head on top of hers. We stay like this for a while, until the boys and I notice she's the only one sleeping. I don't pay attention much to the show anymore...only to her. Michael and Cal laugh loudly, and I hush them motioning to Julie.

"Oh sorry..." Calum snorts.

"Ohhhh" Mikey smirks.

"Shutup!" I whisper-yell. Whatever Michael is thinking, it's probably dirty.

"I'm tired" Cal yawns.

"Yeah me too" Michael agrees.

"Alright, I'm gonna lay Julie on the couch." I try my best to go as slowly as possible, trying not to wake her up. I reach under my arms behind her back and under her knees. Carrying her bridal style, I shift over to the couch, gently laying her on her side. I put a pillow under her head, and place the same blanket over her. I hold onto her hand for a little bit, softly smiling I press my lips to her hand. I switch off the TV and a comforting silence appears. Then I fall asleep along with the boys...
