Forever and Always

Chapter 16:

Calum picked me up and put me in his lap while hugging me. There was just something about him hugging me that made me feel safer than I ever was before. He was right, I knew no one could get to me when I'm with him. He was special, not like anyone I've ever known. We watched all the previews because we really didn't wanna have to get up for the remote. But when it got to the screen where it showed the movie I freaked out, "Finding Nemo! I haven't seen this movie in so long!"

"I know." he laughed and looked at me in the eyes. "You talk a lot about random stuff that really comes in handy El. This was one of a few movies that you said you really liked."

"Thank you..... For listening..... And for actually caring..... I haven't been able to say that for a long time."

"It's what boyfriends are for! Well that and actually, that's it isn't it?"

"They're also for being amazing, and you know, for being boyfriends and all!"

"Good point." he chuckled and then hugged me tighter. It was halfway through the movie when somehow we wiggled into a laying position instead of me sitting on him. I've noticed we cuddle a lot, I mean A LOT! But, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, I love cuddling!

All of a sudden he whispers into my ear, "Be mine."

"Always."

It was about 4 in the morning when the others got back. Cal and I were sleeping, but of course they woke us up. They fell all over the place because the guys were drunk, surprise, surprise.

"Well, I hope you two had fun cause that's so over! We brought some party back with us. Because we knew you'd want to party!" Ashton says.

"You read me wrong Ash. Right now I want to sleep not party." I respond grumpily.

Ashton mutters, "Killjoy."

"I know I'm a killjoy no need to mutter it. Now goodnight!" I say as I go back onto the couch where Calum and I were laying. But, now he was up and is drinking to. 'Damn I lost him!' I think to myself.

(Tour Day 4)

It's the next morning and I didn't sleep at all once everyone got back. So, I was reading a book, that was extremely boring. When everyone woke up I was a little sad. I haven't had a lot of alone time in the past week. Calum went into the main area from where his bunk is and he looks like shit I'm not gonna lie. "Damn! What did I do last night?"

"Umm... You tried going for a solo career and the single was horrible! You ran into the bathroom door about 10 times before you realized it wasn't an automatic door. And you tried making out with Sarah!"

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I literally don't remember a single part of last night!"

"Not even before you were drunk?"

"Well that goes in and out. I remember you and me talking and you were crying and then we watched a movie with a lot of talking fish, turtles, and birds."

"Oh also, Sarah punched you in the stomach when you leaned in to kiss her! And it was Finding Nemo."

"That explains why my stomach has a huge bruise! What were you crying about?"

"Ask me again when you will actually remember it drunkie!"

"Hey take that back!"

"No! Not happening Calum."

"Fine, but it won't be the last time you make a fool out of me!... Wait I said that wrong!"

"You said it right, you just wish it were wrong! So, what do you have planned for today?"

"Interview, interview, interview, interview, and concert. What do you have planned for today?"

"Shopping at the mall, visit you for lunch, shopping at the mall, shopping at the mall, go to this bands concert. And not go on stage ever again like that!"

"Hmmm.... What's with girls and shopping? It's weird and I don't understand it. And admit it, you liked going up on stage to sing your song!"

"Girls are to shopping as boys are to bands! I'll admit it was a little cool being able to sing my own song on stage, but I hate that I had no choice to go up there!"

"I'll make that up to you when you get a record deal and get to do your own concerts! What do you need to go shopping for, you've got a full suitcase of clothes anyway?!?!"

"There's never such thing as too many clothes for a girl! And its a few shirts I need to get that they don't have in my hometown mall. So, I'm pretty sure it'll be here!" After a minute or so of more boring conversations everyone woke up and they all looked horrible. "My parents are gonna kill me if they find out I let my friends drink underage!"

"That's why you don't tell them, because we didn't! We were up all night partying and never got any sleep," Sarah says with a surprised look on her face, "and I'm deeply offended that my twin would think I'd do that!"

"Hey I'm just making sure! So, are you guys ready to go shopping. Because you have to whether you like it or not!" They moan as I said that last part. "Hey it's your consequence for staying up!"

"Yea, but at least they aren't a killjoy like you El!" Ashton said with a face that looked like he just had the best and then worst night of his life.

"At least I'm saving my brain cells Ash. You in the meantime, are gonna forget a lot of shit if you keep drinking like you did last night!"

"It seemed like a great idea at the time! A really great idea!" he said as he stared off into space trying to remember what happened last night.

It's about 2 o'clock and the girls and I have just entered the mall to find what we needed. First, we walked into Hot Topic, I hate it there, it's so dark and depressing, and everyone looks like they want to kill you! But, we were doing it for band tees. We separated to find what we were looking for. I found the 5SOS stuff and smiled. It was a whole rack of their merch, I called for the girls and we went crazy we all bought 5SOS shirts and bracelets then continued with the other stuff we needed.

It was about 3:30 when we finished overall. We had to go to Charlotte Russe and few other places to get some boots and skinny jeans. By the time we got to the interview studio the boys were just getting wrapped up. We all walked in with shopping bags and smoothies or coffee from Starbucks. They looked up at us and they all smiled to see us cause you know 2 hours is SO long. We hugged them and we all walked out to the bus together.

It was about 6pm when we got to L.A. for their show. When they exited the bus we smiled and waved goodbye telling them we'd be there soon. Once the door closed we ran to our bags and scrambled for the shirts we got earlier. We straightened our hair which took forever considering I'm the only one who brought one with me. Jessie just threw her hair in a ponytail because her hair is to stubborn to straighten.

When we finished we walked out of the tour bus to here a thousand screaming fans who are still yelling for us to go to hell and die. Damn, that's getting old, and I've only heard it twice. I took a few pictures because some people actually heard my singing and liked it to my surprise!

We got out of the crowd and ran into the dressing room to see the boys doing that chicken, duck song and dance. I laughed so hard because they were actually really into it. I'm really gonna miss these playful idiots when I have to leave to go home.
