ONE TEMPTATION || [L.P]

Hangover

(Aprils pov)
I woke up to a pounding feeling in my head. Rubbing my eyes I regain focus and look around my room. Last night? A blur. What i do remember? Not much. But, I have some memory of Liam being here, where is he now? I get out of bed, immediate regret. The unbearable throbbing in my head hits as i stand regretting the previous nights choices. I get myself together and walk downstairs. Still no sight of Liam. I grab a glass, rotating the cold tap, filling it up and drinking it. I make my way back upstairs. I sit down on the side of the bed and grab my phone if the night stand. Opening it i get a message from Liam,

8:53am "Away to soundcheck, told them you're not well and won't be in until tonight. X"

I appreciate Liam doing that for me but what was i meant to say back? Thanks? Too plain. He used an x, should I?

After debating with myself, I settled with,
"Thanks i'll see you tonight!" Boring, but what else was i suppose to say? Since i've got hours until we travel to Georgia tonight may as well sleep some more. Even though there are no shows tonight, the boys still use the empty stadiums before we travel for a quick rehearsal, mainly cause they're adding new songs to the setlist. So, until then, i'm going to sleep for a bit. I slowly drift off to sleep, my consciousness fading.

12:03pm

After a few hours of sleep, I awaken again. Sitting up against the pillows piled up behind me, I grab my phone from the nightstand beside me and check my notifications.

10:42am Nora; Where'd you go last night ? You and Liam left ;)

I roll my eyes and laugh to myself before replying back, "Nothing happened, he just took me home cause I had a bit too much to drink."

A few seconds later i get another text, "Trust me, we know."

I begin to scroll through instagram, liking peoples posts from last night, when all of a sudden, another message comes through,

Liam; "Just finished soundcheck, was adding a few new songs onto the setlist, i've got your music for you i'll bring them over i'm already on my way with some chocolate and ibuprofen, figured it might help."

And, in about 10 minutes, I heard my door open and faint steps gradually getting closer to my room. The steps stop outside my room, followed by a knock, "come in," I say before the door opens and Liam walks in, "How you feeling?" He asks, placing some ibuprofen, a glass of water and some chocolate on my nightstand. "Surviving." We joke as he walks over towards my guitar case, placing sheets of music on top of it, "That's your music for the songs we've added, not many just around two or three, and we have played them before so it shouldn't be nothing new." "Thanks." There's a brief moment of silence before Liam speaks up, "Want me to help you pack? We're leaving tonight." He states information like i didn't already know. I agree for him to help me as I pick myself up out of bed and start picking some clothes up off the floor, shoving them into my suitcase.

I'm helping April pick her clothes up off the floor, but, as i go to put the next item in one of her two suitcases, i realise it's my zip-up from last night. Without debate I slipped it into her suitcase, looks better on her anyways. As the buses are always sitting outside the hotel, I offer to take her stuff down while she changes. I wheel her suitcases and guitar case down the hall and into the elevator. Walking outside the lobby, I open the side of the bus and put her suitcases in them. I walk back inside getting the elevator back up to her floor. Walking into Aprils room, she's wearing shorts with a hoodie, her hair tied back out of her face, still somewhat straight from the night before. Even in just this, she was gorgeous. But, she's just from the band, i work with her.

April and I chill in the hotel for the rest of the day until it hits the evening. We both make our way to our buses, ready for the eight hour trip to Georgia. Majority of the ride will just be spent sleeping or playing video games if i'm being honest.

eight hours later

Georgia. We've finally reached the hotel. Getting off the bus, everyone makes their way into the hotel and goes straight to their rooms, considering it was around 3am. I opened one of my suitcases, getting out pjs. I change and make myself comfy in the fitted sheets of the hotel bed when my phone dings,

Liam; "Nighttt. X"
April; "Goodnightttt xx"

the next morning

12:36pm
The first thing i wake up to is a message from Nora,

Nora; "Hey we're all going to walk about the town at one if you wanna join? Meet us in the lobby."

I decided to go and began searching for something to wear. In the suitcase I had opened from the previous night while searching for pjs, i found some shorts. I opened the second suitcase to look for a shirt, but instead found Liams zip-up. Did he put this in here? I texted him,

April; "Think i've got something of yours."

Without signifying what it was i've got he responded,

Liam; "Looks better on you anyways ;)"
