It Can Only Get Better From Here

Chapter 11

XAIVIER'S POV

I rubbed my eyes sleepily as we stood in the elevator. There were so many more people who wanted to meet with us tonight.

I knew that it was a good thing. More fans meant a better career.

Maybe next time we go around Canada on tour, it will be our own tour. We won't just be the opening band.

The elevator doors opened with a pleasant 'ping'. I stepped out of the cramped space first.

Heith ran forward to open our room's door. I snickered and whispered, "Slow down, there, speedy Gonzales!"

He turned around and grinned at me. "No, Xaivier, I will not take my pants off!" His voice echoed around the halls.

"What the heck, Heith! There's no one around to hear you-" I broke off as a door opened.

An old woman poked her head out of her room. "You two! I will call security!" She stopped to take some deep breaths.

"Keep your creepy fantasies to your self!" She pointed a crooked finger at me.

I hung my head and murmured "Sorry, Ma'am." While the other boys laughed uncontrollably.

She continued lecturing me for a good fifteen minutes before turning back to her room, muttering about how 'back in her day people were respectful'.

I flinched at the sound of her door slamming.

"Great job, jack-ass." I muttered, yawning. "Let's just go to the room now, okay?"

We opened the door slowly. I was first met by the sight of shopping bags pushed into the closet.

"Geez, girls and their clothes!" Jack exclaimed. I chuckled in agreement.

The I saw Katt, sleeping, in MY bed. The TV was on, and the news woman was talking about stock market. Boring.

I hit the OFF switch and threw the remote on to the couch.

"Katt... Hey Katt!" Raphael whispered. Katt stirred and blinked her eyes open.

"Oh, so you are awake? Cool. Maybe you should get out of Xaivier's bed so he can sleep." Raph looked Katt in the eye. She stared back blankly, the her eyes rolled back and her head slumped on to the pillow.

Heith gasped. "Oh man, that is creepy. I think Katt is a sleepwalker... this will be fun."

I considered waking her up, but thought against it. "I guess I'll just sleep in the same bed. She looks so comfortable, and I don't want to sleep on the floor."

I changes into my pyjamas and crawled in beside Katt. She was curled into a ball in the top corner of the bed. "G'night, Katt." I whispered.

She shifted. Her fist clenched and she raised her head slightly before sighing heavily and laying still.

"Night, guys." Heith yelled, turning the lamp off.

"Heith? Shut up a little." Anderson grumbled.

Heith chuckled in the darkness. It was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep.

I woke to the feeling of my blanket being pulled away. I lay for a minute, confused, then lifted my head to see which guy I needed to punch.

I laughed a little when I saw Katt standing there, holding my blanket. She was folding it neatly, lying it on the foot of the bed.

"Katiana!" I whispered. "What are you doing?"
