The Other Carpenter

Seven

We walked back to the hotel, well they walked. Taylor carried me because he thought I was asleep. I was asleep at first but I woke up almost as soon as Jc shut the door. We're in the elevator now and everyone split off except for Aaron, Hayes, Taylor and I.

Aaron unlocked our door and Taylor set me on the bed gently. I stirred around like I had been sleeping but was waking up.

"Oh crap. You woke her up." Hayes whisper yelled.

"I didn't do anything." Taylor whispered back.

"You're the one that set her down so you kind of did." Aaron whispered back angrily.

"Oh shut up. He didn't do anything. I just can't actually sleep in these clothes." I said sleepily.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I looked Taylor confused.

"Weren't you wearing a sweatshirt?" I asked.

He pointed at me and I looked down seeing that it was on me.

"Why is it on me?" I asked.

"The wind outside was cold and you weren't wearing something that would keep you warm so I took off my sweatshirt." He shrugged.

"Well here." I said pulling it off of me. I handed it back to him and I still had his scent on me. I guess that's what happens when you hang out with him all day...

"Thanks. I'm going to my room now. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

We all simultaneously said bye and I grabbed clothes to sleep in. I closed the bathroom door and changed quickly. I put my clothes from today in my duffel bag and crashed in my bed.

I got underneath the covers and pulled them up over my shoulders. I noticed that my bed smelled like Taylor too. This scent is going to follow me around for a while. It's not a bad smell but that's basically all I smelled today. I fell asleep quickly and peacefully.

"Okay so we don't know how to wake up Lil but we do know how to wake up Aaron. So if we wake up Aaron, he's bound to know how to wake her up."

"Alright so how do you wake up Aaron?" Carter asked.

"We have to yank his blankets off while squeezing his nose." Carter looked at me weirdly and shrugged.

"Alright I'll yank the blankets. You squeeze his nose." I nodded and we counted down. I squeezed his nose as the blankets came off and Aaron snorted.

"Seriously? Again?" He said rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah now how do you wake up Lil?" Carter asked.

"There's actually no way. Her body just wakes up when it thinks it needs to." Aaron shrugged.

"So do you think that'll be anytime soon?" I asked.

"Yeah probably. Where's her blanket?" Aaron asked.

"She's cuddling with it. Why?" Carter asked.

"She panics in her sleep if she doesn't have it if she fell asleep with it."

"Yeah I'm not taking it so she'll panic. That doesn't seem safe." I said cringing.

I can't bring pain to her like that. Plus she looks so peaceful right now. Hayes woke up and landed in Lil's bed due to his clumsiness. She stirred and hugged Hayes.

"Good morning Hayes." She smiled sitting up rubbing her eyes.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" Aaron asked.

"I just slept good." She shrugged.

Aaron shrugged and Hayes sat up.

"How'd you know it was me that landed in your bed though?" Hayes asked.

"Your scent and shape."

"That makes sense. You're very observant." He said pointing at her.

She nodded and cuddled her blanket close to her.

"What's going on today?" She asked.

"Today we all have meet and greets." Carter said checking the schedule.

"Well then I'll be up here all day but if any of you need anything I'll get it." She shrugged sitting against the headboard.

"Okay but try not to attract too much attention to yourself." Aaron warned.

"We haven't put that many selfies on Instagram together so I doubt people know who I am."

"Okay well we should start getting ready. If we're not on time they get shitty." I said.

Everyone but Lily nodded and started getting ready. She grabbed Aaron's laptop and started watching Netflix. Aaron walked in to the bathroom and Hayes went down the hall for some reason. I started to walk out before Lily stopped me.

"Taylor."

"Yes?" I said peeking my head around the corner.

"Can I borrow a bandana?" She asked smiling.

"What color?" I asked.

"Navy Blue." She answered.

"I have one. I'll be back in a few minutes with it."

"Thank you." She said.

"Your welcome." I smiled

I got ready quickly and put a tie dye bandana on and grabbed the Navy Blue one for Lil. I walked back down the hall and walked in. She was too focused on Netflix to notice anything.

I tied the bandana around her head and she looked up smiling. She must be in a really good mood today. I like this but I mean I like her any day.

"Taylor. You have to go like now. Aaron and everyone else already left." She said shooing me away.

"Oh shoot. See you later Lil." I said running.
