            When I felt sure that everyone had their pajamas on, I walked out of the bathroom. They were all in their boxers. Except for Tristan who also had a shirt on.

            "Oh jeez, I'm sorry!" I turned my head away from the boys and I could hear them laughing behind me.

            "If you're going to be on a bus with us for a couple months, you're going to have to get used to seeing us in our underwear," said James. Oh. Well then. I turned back towards them and kept my eyes everywhere but on them. They noticed that I was avoiding looking at them and snickered.

            "Well, I'm just gonna go to bed now..." I crawled into my bunk, then I crawled back out when I realized that I didn't have my phone or my earbuds. I went to my bag, still avoiding looking at the boys. Unfortunately, I had to walk right by Connor, brushing against him slightly. It was barely a touch, but somehow it still made me blush like crazy. I kept my head down until I got to my bag, then I reached into the pocket that my phone was in. I put one earbud in and played my Vamps playlist. I was almost to my bunk when someone wrapped their arms around my shoulders. 

           "What are you listening to, Trix are for kids?" Tristan was resting his head on my shoulder, in a playful way, mind you.

           "Nothing." It would be really embarrassing if they knew that I couldn't sleep without their music.

           "Oh, ok." Tristan let go of me and started walking away. I started to climb back into my bunk when my phone was snatched out of my hand. Tristan had my phone and turned it on.

           "AWW, SHE'S LISTENING TO US!!!" Tristan and the other boys pulled me into a hug, and my face was burning red. 

          "Umm... guys? I can't breathe." The boys all let go of me.

          "Sorry, Trixie." Connor looked really apologetic.

          "It's fine." I waved them off with my hand.

          "But," Brad looked confused and slightly amused, "why are you listening to us? Aren't you going to bed?"

          I looked down at my feet, embarrassed, "Well umm... Music is really important to me and it calms me. You know, makes me forget my troubles. And your music works best. I guess  it's just because I'm such a big fan. I can't sleep without it." I couldn't even look at their faces because I was so embarrassed.

         "So, you listen to us every night?" James was smiling widely, and I nearly melted.

         "Umm... yeah, pretty much."

         "Well," Connor looked to the other boys, who nodded with smiles on their faces, then looked back to me, "how would you like a private performance?"

         "Oh, you don't have to do that, really, I've got my phone."

         "Aww, come on, we won't get to play for so long! Let us just play you one song!" Tristan looked at me with a pout and puppy dog eyes.

         "Fine, but only one song! I don't want you guys to be tired tomorrow."

         "Yay! Okay, get comfortable and we'll get our guitars."

         I smiled and crawled into my bunk. While the boys were sorting out where people would sit and stuff, I turned the camera on on my phone and positioned it so that they wouldn't notice I was recording them. By the time I was done, they were all ready to play.

         "If I fall asleep during the song, please don't think I'm being rude. I love your music."

         "Well the whole point of this is to help you sleep, right? What son-" Brad was about to ask me what song they should play when Connor nudged him. Brad gave Connor a confused look and Connor just smiled at me. He strummed a few notes and the rest of the boys quickly joined in.

I used to wanna be
Living like there's only me
But now I spend my time
Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind
Yeah you!
I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike

Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!

All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

I used to ride around
I didn't wanna settle down
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face
Yeah you!
I've got your photograph
But baby I need more than that
I need to know your lips
Nothing ever mattered to me more than this
Yeah you!

Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!

All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

Everybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you

'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah

Is somebody to you

      I fell asleep just as they played the last note. And it was a pleasant sleep.
