Adopted By Matthew Espinosa (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 26

CHARLOTTE POV.

We got into Shawn's car. I was sitting in the back while Hayes sat in the front. "You guys excited?" Shawn asked as we pulled up at the airport. "Yes!" I screamed from the back making everyone look at me. "Sorry, that was pretty loud, wasn't it?" I said biting my lip. "Yes," Shawn said making me laugh. "Now, we are going to have to run straight into the airport where security will be. We will get on the plane and then arrive at Houston in Texas than get on the bus and travel for 3 months," Shawn said with a smile.

"Okay," Hayes said as I just nodded. I have to admit that I was pretty petrified to say the least. These were Shawn's and Hayes's fans, not mine so I didn't know how they would react. Hayes was going with Shawn to talk to the crowd and that fun stuff, stuff they did before Shawn's career got serious. "Let's go!" Shawn yelled as he got out of his car with Hayes and I following his actions. We quickly grabbed our bags from the boot of the car when we heard screaming. We all looked at each other and knew what that meant. Teenage girls..

"Shawn! Shawn! I love you so much!! Shawn!" a girl yelled running towards us. "How are you going?" Shawn said as he started to walk into the airport trying to 'ignore' the herd of girls. Before we all knew it we were surrounded by girls, more and more girls were arriving each minute. They started to yell both Hayes and Shawn's name and crowded around us. After struggling to walk into the airport for 5 minutes we finally got in, safely. "Are you guys okay?" Shawn asked looking at us both. "Yeah, wait. They stole my watch!" I said as I looked at my empty wrist.

They both laughed at me. I didn't really find it funny, that was my favourite watch! "Yeah that happens sometimes," Shawn said walking away. "Come on, let's go," Hayes said as he put his hand over my shoulder.

HAYES POV.

We just got surrounded by tons of girls. It is great to meet all the fans but we didn't have enough time. "Are you guys okay?" Shawn asked us both as we got into the airport. "Yeah, wait. They stole my watch!" Charlotte said looking at her wrist. Shawn and I both laughed. "Yeah that happens sometimes," Shawn said walking away. "Come on, let's go," I said as I wrapped my hand around her shoulders.

I was pretty excited to go on tour with Shawn and Charlotte, this was going to be great!We went through security and got on a private jet. Shawn was pretty big these days, so big he had his own jet! We all had our own little 'section' but there was another seat beside us. I sat in a section, Shawn sat in his section and Charlotte sat in the other one. "Hey are you okay?" I asked Charlotte as I saw her pale face. "Um, yeah, it's just- I haven't, been on a plane before," She stuttered tightening her seat buckle.

"Hey, I will sit next to you and keep you safe," I said with a smile on my face. She sweetly smiled back. "What would I do without you?" She asked. "Die," I said laughing. "No seriously," She replied. I realised that she was serious. "I don't know, but you will never find out," I said as I touched her hand that was on the seat. "You guys ready?" Shawn said ruining the moment. "Yep," I replied still looking into her eyes.

CHARLOTTE POV.

We took off. I was so nervous. I guess I was starting to try new things. Hayes sat next to me since it was my first time. It was so beautiful from the plane, I thought that people were little ants. I was finally bigger. I was pretty exhausted from getting up so early so I decided to read a book so I could sleep, reading made me tired. "Whatcha reading?" Hayes said as he took his head phones off. "Divergent," I replied looking at him. "Oh that is a great movie!" He replied smiling. "The book is better," I said with a small smile. "Right, I don't read," He said looking back at his phone.

"Cute," I said under my breath with a smile. "What?" He asked. "Oh nothing," I said as I turned the page. "No, you said something," He said as he smiled. "No I didn't," I said with a smirk. "Don't make me do it," He said as he put his phone on the arm rest. "What?" I asked. "This," he said as he started to tickle me. I started to laugh hysterically. "Stop!" I said in between laughs. "Tell me what you said!" He said as his tickles started to get lighter. "Fine! I said cute!" I said as he let go of my waist. I started to breathe normally again. "Are you guys okay?" Shawn asked as he turned around from his seat. "Yeah," I said looking at Hayes. "Cute huh?" Hayes said with a smirk.

"Yep," I replied as I got my book back out. "I can show you cute," He said as he kissed my cheek. I turned my head and he kissed me on the lips. I realised that my eyes were opened. Great way to be awkward! I quickly closed my eyes so he wouldn't know. I quickly pulled away and put my book under my seat. "I'm gonna get some rest," I said as I faced the other way with my back facing Hayes. Crap! I actually love this kid. "Charlotte, were here," I heard as my back got lightly shaken. I opened my eyes to see Hayes standing above me. "Thanks," I said as I sat up.

I got my backpack and stood up. "We are going to spend the night here before we get traveling, Charlotte we need to know what you are going to sing," Shawn said as the plane door opened. "Okay," I said smiling as I walked behind him. "Let's go!" He shouted putting his hands up in the air with excitement. We got off the plane and we were walking in the 'tunnel' into the actual airport. We went a different way though, we ended up with a car waiting out the back for us. "Let's get in," Shawn said smiling as he hopped in the black Jeep. "So what do you want to sing?" Shawn asked as I sat in the middle of him and Hayes.

"Umm, anything?" I asked. "Anything," He replied with a smile. "Royals, by Lorde?" I asked looking at him. "Great idea!" He said as he pushed me lightly with his shoulder as a joke. I started to smile. Yay! This was going to be exciting!! We pulled up at the hotel we were staying at for a night. "There shouldn't be any fans, nor should it be busy," Shawn said as he got out of the car and got his suitcases. He had more stuff than me! We walked slowly into the lobby, it was actually quit calm. We got into the elevator straight away.

"Don't we have to sign in or something?" I asked as the elevator door started to shut. "No its okay, my manager does that," He said with a smile. "Where is your manager?" I asked. "His flight got delayed, he should be here later this afternoon," He said as the elevator stopped and the door started to open. "This is our room!" Shawn yelled as we walked in. It was a mansion!"Now, no funny business between you guys," Shawn said as he put his suitcase on the ground winking at us both. I just started to laugh at what he was doing with his eye brows.

"Char this is your bed, Hayes, you and me are sharing a bed," Shawn said making me laugh. "What?" Hayes asked as he sat on the bed. "Goodluck!" I said looking at Shawn. "I am not that bad! Am I?" Hayes asked all seriously. I fell on my bed laughing. "No, not at all," I lied. "Let's practice your song!" Shawn said sitting on my bed. "Okay," I said as I sat up. "Are you going to start?" Shawn asked after me sitting there for about a minute without saying anything. "Oh yeah, right," I said laughing.

I started to sing.

"I've never seen a diamond in the flesh. I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies. And I'm not proud of my address, in a torn-up town, no postcode envy." Shawn started to sing as well which made me more comfortable. "And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood. That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler (ruler). You can call me queen Bee and baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule. Let me live that fantasy." We sang together.

"You are so singing that song!" Shawn said as he hugged me. "You are amazing!" Hayes said as he sat down on the other side of me. "Thanks guys," I said with a huge smile on my face. "Can you sing it with me?" I asked as I looked at Shawn. "You really want me to?" He asked. "Yes!" I replied. "Okay," He replied giving me a hug. "Who wants food?" Hayes asked ruining the moment.

"I love food!" Shawn replied. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Hayes said looking at Shawn with his eyebrows moving. "Room service!" They yelled at the same time which made me laugh so hard I ended up on the floor, which then made us laugh even harder.. It is official, these guys are crazy.
