Chapter 2 - nightly conversations

><

The tourbus rolled down the street and the driver hit the break just in time to stop infront of the alleyway where Piper just fourty minutes earlier had ran up on her escape from the police. The busdriver hit the horn a couple of times, but after ten minutes of sitting there, with nothing happening he got out of the bus hurrying over to the door entering the boys' wardrobe. Just as he walked inside, a shadown flew like the wind behind him entering the bus before anyone could see her. Her long hair flew behind her as she jumped inside and looked for the best hiding place.

The first thing she saw that was a good hiding place was one of the beds. There was one with two and two over each other and two with only a single bed. The ones lowest down had space under for bags. Quickly she removed the ones under the bed she first layed her eyes upon and rolled herself under it, pushing herself up against the back wall of the bus. Then she grabbed a hand on the two bags pulling them back under the bed hiding herself.

Just a minute later the bus filled with sounds as the four boys of the band entered. None of them having any idea that the girl that earlier had visited them by accident was now willingly hiding under one of their beds.

The boys were talking and chatting in between each other talking about the consert and the same girl that was in there with them listening to their every word. All four sat up a little as the bus started driving on and soon out of the city. They were all tired, but discussing things that had happened. Piper heard the voice she recognized as Michael's saying something about her being hot making her kind of wanna get off the bus, the boys did seem nice, but she did not trust them. She didn't know what she was going to do if they discovered her, she just hoped for the best. She wasn't gonna stay long anyway, just for a couple of cities maybe.

Calum was sitting out in the kind of living room part of the bus talking to the others. He couldn't quite stop thinking about the girl, Piper, from earlier in the dressing room. He thought she was really beautiful and funny as well. She seemed so tough, but yet there was something about her that was really fragile. The way she always eyed them all, as watching over them before talking or how long she had hesitated before taking his hand when he offered it to her. It wasn't like shaking someone's hand was making such a huge commitment, and that made Calum wonder about it.

He took a look at the time on his phone, it was getting really late, but he decided to tweet a thanks to the fans before getting to bed. He quickly went onto twitter doing so, before putting his phone back in his pocket and standing up.

"I'm going to bed guys, it's getting pretty late and I'm tired." He told them interrupting their conversation which he hadn't really been listening to. They all looked at him for a moment before nodding muttering goodnight's. He went into the sleeping area of the bus, undressing and then hopping into the T-shirt he usually slept with.

Then he pulled the covers off the bed getting in, not knowing that right beneath him layed the same girl he had been thinking about minutes ago. It didn't take long before his breath went steady and his head were deep in a dream world somewhere.

Calum's eyes flew open only minutes later, as his band mate Ashton came into the room as well to go to sleep. Calum was a light sleeper, unlike his friends and he easily woke up just by small sounds, that all the others easily slept through. He wasn't that bad, but he was at least a much lighter sleeper than his band mates. Right there the girl under his bed was unlucky, because if she had gone under any of the other's beds she would have remained hidden by the end of the night. Of course, if she hadn't ended up under Calum's bed nothing that happened would have happened so maybe in a way she was lucky ending up under his bed after all.

Ashton gave a quick glance over at Calum and gave him an apologetical look when he realized he had woken him. "Sorry Cal." He whispered, before climbing into his own bed and getting silent. Both of the boys soon were asleep and this time none of them woke up when the two others came and went to bed. So the place was soon filled with silence and sometimes small sounds from the sleeping boys in the bus.
