"Maddy! I just wanted to call because I miss your fat ass and I'm off to America later!" I put my phone on speaker and placed it on the table in the lounge as I was using my hands to tidy up the bus, the guys were still in bed. "Lexa! I miss your fat ass too oh-" before she could carry on Josh walked in and interrupted. "Lexa's ass is perfectly fine thank you very much" I laughed with a small grin as he greeted me, placing his lips on mine. "Your welcome" Maddy replied down the phone making myself and Josh laugh, I admired his purposely goofy smile and the way his lips curved slightly more to one side, he caught me doing so and kissed me again before going to the kitchen. "As I was saying, the weekend you get back, I know you'll be tired, but there's a party, and we're all going!" I sigh at Maddie's excitement and I couldn't help but agree. "Right i have to love you and leave you I'm afraid! Brandon's taking me out for the day and he's picking me up in 40 minutes and I'm not even close to being ready!" I laughed softly and we said our goodbyes.

After changing into my black ripped jeans and another one of Josh's hoodies I decided to go for a walk for fresh air so I don't have to smell alcohol and sweat on the bus, perks of living with only guys. "Where are you off to?" Josh asked subtly and I walked closer to him wrapping my arms around his waist which he mirrored. "Just for a walk, I'll be back soon i promise." He smiled and nodded before pulling away and I left the bus, not quite sure where I was going to go. Walking down down the streets at half 12 meant there were a quite a few people about, but barely any cars whatsoever. I walked for 10 minutes until I saw a mall record shop on the corner which I immediately took a liking to.

I pushed the doors open with a loud creak and walked into the shop to see a smiley old man behind the counter and cds/records everywhere, I absolutely loved the look of music shops, they were always made to look so beautiful. I looked around for a while before spotting an arctic monkeys vinyl of their EP, Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys. I automatically picked it up and carried it to the counter to the man who smiled up at me. "You like arctic monkeys?" He asked and I smiled back. "I haven't listened to them much but my boyfriend loves them so I thought I'd get this for him," the man looked at me in awe as I paid. I said goodbye and left the shop, probably a good time to head back to the bus and start packing, yes I was leaving it till last minute again, oops.

"Matt! You're up, and not too hungover! Good, I need to talk to you" he looked at me worriedly and laughed. "About what?" He asked, "nothing, I just need to talk to you because I feel like we don't talk as much as we used to and I miss it!" He smiled happily and hugged me before pulling me down to sit on his lap on the sofa. We ended up talking for ages about everything from what we've been doing to everything with me and Josh to everything with him and his new girlfriend, before we were interrupted by Dan telling us we had to leave.

The airport was packed full of people with their luggage going to various countries, I'm honestly surprised none of us got lost! Well, Max did, but we found him outside a video game shop. It took a while for us to get sorted, giving our suitcases in and going through security, which might I add, was not very good. I made the metal thing beep and a male had to search me, getting a little too 'touchy feely' which Josh obviously had to say something about, and I'm glad he did, the security guy knew Josh was there, what did he expect? We found out seats pretty easily as we were close to the back, mine and Josh's seats were together on the left, Matt and Max on the right, behind us were Chris, Dan and two crew members, ready for a long flight ahead.

"Lexa" Josh whispered when half the passengers were asleep, we had an evening flight. "Yes?" I replied and he leaned closer, "oh nothing, I just wanted to see if you were awake," I grinned and leaned closer again so our faces were almost touching. "Mhmm" I mumbled, resting my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms tighter around me. "I love you," he whispered, "I love you too" I kissed him lightly and closed my eyes, ready to sleep.

I soon woke up to the sound of screaming, a baby sat 4 rows behind us was hungry or needed a change, either way it was highly irritating and I couldn't get back to sleep after. It was still dark outside meaning I wasn't asleep for long, but how did no one else wake up? Oh the joys of being a light sleeper. I sat staring into space for what seemed like forever before I felt someone's arm snake around my waste and lips press against my cheek. I instantly smiled and turned my face so our lips were connected and he smiled in return. "How long have you been awake?" Josh asked with his tired voice that was to die for. "Ages I wo- wow it's light outside? I must've been awake longer than I thought, and too spaced out to notice." He laughed and I turned away, until he pulled me back around to look at him. His eyes stood out and his half smile made me weak. "you have no idea what you do to me" I told him and he smirked in response, "oh I almost forgot! I got you a present when I was out earlier, I don't know if you already have it but it was the last one in the shop and I know you like them so I bought it and then I thoug-" I stopped myself from rambling even more making him laugh slightly. I took the vinyl from my, abnormally large, bag and passed it to him making his eyes light up and a wide grin appear. "oh my god, Lexa! Thank you so much, I absolutely love it!" He pulled me closer to him and our lips moulded together perfectly. "Hm I'm glad you like it" I said, his forehead rested on mine, believe it or not but I still got nervous being around Josh, but he made me so bloody happy that it was a good kind of nervous, that's how things are supposed to be right?
