Out of Bounds (5sos)

Chapter 9

Ali's P.O.V

I watched him looking around the bus for me. I had to speak to him at some point and I knew it. Not because I wanted to talk to him but because it wouldn't be fair on the rest the guys to have to put up with us complaining to each other.

"Guess you're looking for me aren't you?" I said knowing exactly what he was doing considering I just watched him do it.

"There you are, look Ali I don't like fighting with you and I know what I did was all my fault and I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said before honestly I do want you here and I know everyone else does here too," he went on and on.

"What did you mean then Cal because it sounded a lot to me like you don't want me here," my voice got a little louder and I could feel tears starting to fill my eyes.

"I don't know what I meant I just didn't want everyone else to not want you here so I wanted to make sure especially because I didn't ask them before I said to you that you could come," he tried coming up with more excuses and I didn't know which one to believe or if I should believe any of them.

Yeah okay whatever, I just don't want to cause anyone else any more awkwardness so can we just make up and get on with our lives not avoiding each other?" I asked in as nice a tone as I could.

"Yeah sure," he replied with a really short answer.

I got back onto the bus but Cal didn't follow. I don't know where he went but it can't have been far.

I went back into my bed and put music in and shuffled a playlist I made.

By the time I my music finished playing and I looked at the time it was time that we all had our tea. I could here someone knocking as well. I pulled open the curtain and Ashton was knocking on the wall outside my curtain looking at me.

"You could have just pulled the curtain open you know, I'm not Michael," I said to him and he laughed.

"We're going for tea, I'm guessing that you're coming?" he asked still smiling.

"Yeah, I am," he helped me climb out of my bed and I put on a leather jacket and we walked out of the bus to meet with everyone else.

"Let's go!" Michael shouting. You would think he hadn't been fed for a week at the speed that he started to walk away at.

"Calm down Michael, you can't get food until we are there too. You don't have any money on you," Luke shouted at Michael. He turned round with a sad face and stopped to wait for the rest of us.

It's funny how much Michael liked his food, especially pizza. He is honestly the human version of Michaelangelo, apart from the fact that he can't skateboard.

We all decided that we wanted to go to Pizza Hut, with Michael having a big influence on where we would eat. I had a pepperoni pizza because that's my favourite pizza ever. We all had a really good time and it was good that we were all doing things together again. We all finished our pizzas and we were all still hungry especially me considering I didn't even get my muffin that I was going to be having for lunch. We all ordered puddings because why not. I got the salted caramel cookie dough but I got the sharing one and shared it with Ashton because he wanted the same thing. Just when you think that all of us are being grown up going out for a nice meal, Michael, had to be him, ordered the Ice Cream Factory choice and made his own little decorative dessert. When I say small I mean he had a whole bowl then had another two half bowls. I swear he must have a space for storage that he fills with food.

We all finished and Blake and I went to the toilet and on the way back I told her that I was going to pay for everyone's meal. She stayed with me so that the boys wouldn't think that I was paying and we went to sit down together.

"Right, everyone wallets out and change into the middle of the table," Calum announced to everyone.

"We went to get the bill and we were told that somebody had already paid for it all," Blake explained as everyone was getting their money out.

"What, who would pay for our tea for us, that's weird. Maybe they got the wrong people" Michael questioned.

"That would be me," I confesseed. "You guys have been so nice to me and put up with me and let me come with you on your tour and I wanted to say thank you so I payed for everyones food," I explained to them all as they all looked at me shocked.

"You didn't have to do that you kn...." Ashton started to say but I wanted to so I didn't let him finish.

"I wanted to, I know I didn't have to but I wanted to so please let me?" I asked with big begging eyes and a huge smile.

"Fine, but we have to buy you food next time, okay?" Ashton said which would kind of defeats the purpose of me paying but I just agreed with them to make them happy.

"Well since our food has been payed for, we should probably get back to the bus,"Luke said and we all started to stand up to get ready to go.

On the way back to the bus it got really dark and the car park we were in didn't have any lights to light it up so it was pitch black. I took out my phone and put on my torch so that there was a bit of light. I bumped into someone and fell over.

"I am so sorry Ali, are you okay?" I think I heard Ashton's voice and then I knew it was Ashton as he started to help me up.

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks," I replied with no idea where I was supposed to look because I counldn't see anyone or anything.

"Why don't we have a piggy back race to the bus!" Luke suggested to everyone.

"We don't even know where the bus is, how can we race to the bus if we can't even find it?" Michael asked making Luke seem very stupid.

"We don't need to know where the bus is, that's the point. We have to find it in pairs but we have to give someone a piggy back," Luke explained as he started making up all of these rules.

"Well let's get into pairs then," Cal said as we all stood around not moving.

"Well I'm going with you Cal because I am not going with Luke. Just think about what happened the last time Luke gave someone a piggy back ride," Michael laughed.

"In that case I do not want to go with Luke," Blake said in a very pleading voice.

"You don't have a choice I'm afraid babe, you're coming with me," Luke explained to her. As he said it you could hear him pick her up and she sighed.

"I won't drop you, you're a girl," he said which made her slap him in the face. It sounded sore.

"Looks like we're partners then doesn't it," I said to Ashton.

"It's okay, I won't drop you or knock you over," he explained to me making me feel a little bit more safe about getting a piggy back in the dark.

"Okay, ready? On your marks, get set, GO!" Luke shouted. The whole of Newcastle could probably hear us.

We headed forward and we couldn't hear the other two so we presumed they had gone a different way. We didn't want to put on my torch again because then the other teams would see where we were and we didn't want that but we had no idea where the bus was. I came off of Ashton's back and we crouched down at the floor. We put on the torch but hid the light so that nobody else would be able to see it. I saw a puddle on the ground but it hadn't been raining then I remembered that when I ran out of the bus crying earlier I saw a huge puddle. I told Ashton so we knew we weren't far away from the bus we just had to go in the direction we were going in and we should get the bus pretty soon.

After five minutes we reached the bus and it didn't look like anyone else was there yet. We got in but didn't put on any of the lights because that would make it to obvious for the other two groups out there.

After about another ten minutes they both finally arrived at the bus and both times they thought they were the first ones there until we jumped out on them. It was probably one of the most fun nights I have had for a long time.
