Adopted By Matthew Espinosa (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 27

CHARLOTTE POV.

After the food came I decided to have a shower and get ready for bed. Even though the hotel room was big, it was a bit crowded for 3 people. I went and had a shower and washed my hair. I got in my pyjamas and then watched 21 jump street with Hayes and Shawn on my bed. Shawn was the first to fall asleep, I then followed. "Goodnight," I heard someone say as they kissed my forehead lightly. I knew that it was Hayes. He got off the bed slowly so he wouldn't wake me. "Goodnight," I replied as I rolled around getting comfortable.

 I woke up to loud snoring in the room. I thought Hayes was bad, Shawn was even worst. I decided to get up and be ready before we get on the bus at 9, it was 6:45. I got out my outfit that I was going to wear which was a mint tank top, dark washed shorts and a grey cropped hoodie that I was wearing over my tank top.

 I had a shower and washed my body. I got out and got changed into what I was wearing. I brushed my hair and I styled it into a braid on the side. I wore my everyday makeup; mascara, foundation and eye liner and I was ready. I walked out of the bathroom and the other guys were still asleep. I tip toed over to the bed that Shawn and Hayes was sharing. Hayes looked so cute sleeping. "Guys, it's time to get up," I whispered shaking Hayes then walking to the other side of the bed to shake Shawn.

"It's 9 o'clock," I lied as I watched Shawn's head get up immediately. "I'm joking! I just needed you to get up," I said as Shawn was running around the room like a crazy man. "Right," He replied as he slowed down his pace again. Hayes then sat up. "Good morning," He said as he ran his hand through his messy hair. "Good morning," I replied as I sat down next to him as Shawn went into the bathroom. "You look great," He said with a smile making me blush. "Thanks," I replied with a smile on my face.

 "So what time is it really?" He asked as he sat up straight looking at me. "Only 7:30," I said with a huge grin on my face. He started to laugh. We talked for 20 minutes until Shawn came out of the bathroom. "Hayes you have to start getting ready, we will get breakfast then leave," Shawn said as he dried his hair with his towel. "Food! I'm going," Hayes said as he jumped out of bed.

"Oh, I forgot something," He replied as he turned around and kissed me on the cheek making me smile and my face turn red. Once we were all ready I put on my mint vans and we walked down to the buffet for breakfast. When we were done eating our pancakes which were my ultimate favourite we went upstairs to clean up. I got in the elevator with Shawn and Hayes beside me making me laugh. We got out of the elevator and Hayes grabbed my hand as we were walking towards our room.

HAYES POV.

We walked out of the elevator after eating pancakes, Charlotte laugh would make me smile even if I was miserable. I grabbed her hand as we were walking towards our room. She looked over at me and smiled as I intertwined our fingers. I felt extremely lucky to have her in my life. "Yu guys ready?" Shawn asked as I zipped up my suitcase. "Yep," I replied as I stood up. "Yeah," Charlotte then responded.

 "Now, you guys have to be extremely good on the bus. There will be 7 of us so it will be pretty crowded. Our first concert is in 2 days in Austin, that is where we start then we finish at New York, so 19 shows. You guys good?" He asked as he walked around the room looking for stuff. I could tell by Charlottes face that she was pretty nervous, or she was going to throw up..."Hey, it will be fine," I said as I picked her suitcase up for her.

"Thanks," She replied with a fake adorable smile. We walked out of our hotel room and went down in the lobby where there was a pack of girls. Screaming girls might I add. They were everywhere, not just screaming Shawn's name but mine as well. Shawn's security came escorting us into the big red bus that had Shawn's name written across the side and back of it. After getting a few photos with the fans Shawn hopped on the bus behind Charlotte and me.

"That was so awesome!!" I yelled as I sat down in a seat. "This is only the beginning dude," He said as the bus started to move. Char sat down in the seat in front of me and she pulled out her laptop and head phones. "This is going to be awesome!" I said as I stood up and quickly changed seats. Shawn then moved to the back of the bus and started to talk to his manager probably about all the shows and everything. "Hey," I said scaring Charlotte not on purpose.

 "Hayes!" She said slapping my arm lightly with a smile. "I'm sorry!" I said starting to laugh. "So what ya doing?" I asked looking at her laptop screen. "Listening to my playlist of music, you want to listen?" She asked as she took out one of her head phones. "Sure," I said with a smile and took her head phone and put it in my ear.

CHARLOTTE POV.

After battling my way through the group of Shawn's fans we got on the bus. After Shawn introducing me to his manager I sat at the front of the bus with my laptop and head phones listening to one of my favourite playlist. After the bus started to move and the loud music pounding in my ear I heard a loud noise and someone bumping the side of me. It was Hayes.

He scared me without even trying. I am one of those people who can get scared so easily that it isn't even funny, I can even scare myself at times... "So what ya doing?" He asked as I was looking at my screen. "Listening to my playlist of music, you want to listen?" I asked as I handed him one of my head phones.

 "Sure," He replied with a smile and taking the head phone out of my hand. I was listening to Titanium by Sia as I was humming along to the words. I could feel Hayes eyes staring at me. "What?" I said with a smile as I turned my head to face him. "You're just so beautiful," He said with a straight face looking at my lips. "Thanks," I said with a smile as I started to sing the chorus.

"I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose. Fire away, fire away. Ricochet, you take your aim. Fire away, fire away. You shoot me down but I won't fall. I am titanium. You shoot me down but I won't fall. I am titanium," I sung out loud while I was looking at Hayes who had a massive smile on his face.

I felt eyes watching me and they weren't just Hayes, it was Shawn and his manager with their mouth wide open. "Told ya she was amazing," Shawn said looking at his manager with a smile. "What?" I asked in a confused tone. "You are an incredible little singer," He said with a smile. "Thank you," I said with a huge smile on my face. "You have to sing that song when you sing!" Hayes said sitting next to me still smiling.

 "But I'm already Loyals," "You can sing both, as long as you practice and get it perfect," The manager said with a smile on his face as his phone started to ring. "Sorry, I have to take this," He said as he answered his phone and walked towards the back of the bus. "Are you going to be ready to sing both songs by Saturday, so 2 days?" Shawn asked. "I will try!" I replied with a smile. "Okay, I will call your dad and tell him how everything is going," Shawn said as he walked away. I have to admit, I felt a lot of pressure on me, I wasn't a singer nor performer. How was I going to pull this off?

"Okay!" I replied. "You are going to be great," Hayes said as he grabbed my hand. "Thank you. I don't know what I would do without you," I replied while looking into his eyes getting lost. After listening to music and talking to Hayes for around 2 hours, I fell asleep against the window. I was so exhausted. I wasn't really a person to travel a lot. Actually I didn't travel at all. You never really got the chance to travel when you are in an orphanage.
