Journeys(L.H)

Chapter 3

"I'm going to miss you so much!" My mum squeezed me in a tight hug. "Oh, you'll be gone for so long." She went on.
    "It's not that long mum." I said to her. She wasn't really listening.
    "Make sure your brother doesn't pull any funny stuff. Don't go off snogging boys!" I rolled my eyes. Yeah right.
    "Alright mum." I turned to my three little sisters.

  "Bye Phoebe." I hugged her and did the same to Daisy and Charlotte. "Be good for mum, right?" I told them. They nodded eagerly and scurried off to go play or something.
Louis walked out of the house with his bags and cheeky smile on his face. "Are we ready Brin?" He asked me.
     I breathed out and nodded. My mum was nearly wiping away tears. "Don't be so sad! The house will be way quieter without Lou in it." I told her. Louis slapped my arm and hugged the family.

  "Bye!" I called from the car. A shiny black car had come to pick us up. "Who are we picking up next?" I asked the driver once we were away from my house.

"Harry." Louis responded from the front seat. "We'll get him and Niall then Zayn. Liam last." He told me. I nodded and pulled out my phone. I plugged in my headphones and turned on my music.
    I had found some 5SOS music on my iTunes. It seems interesting. I started the song Voodoo Doll. Weird title, but catchy song. Of course, the voice I heard the most was Lip Ring. Then a thought crossed my mind. Louis had said something about finding them on YouTube.

    I opened YouTube and typed in Luke Hemmings. A channel called Hemmo1996 came up. I clicked on it and scrolled all the way down to the first video. I choked in laughter at the date. Three years ago. This'll make good blackmail.

I clicked on the cover, barely paying attention to the song title.

Two words: FETUS HAIR

I couldn't help it this time. I laughed so hard that I was nearly crying. "What? What is it?" My brother insisted. He always wanted a good laugh. I showed him my phone and tried to stop shaking from laughter.
He scrunched up his nose. "What's so funny about that?" Louis asked.

"His," uncontrollable laugh and deep breath. "Hair!" More laughing. His hair looks like a hedgehog got shaved and was glued to his head. Louis just looked at me like I was crazy and chuckled a little bit. I calmed down and watched some more covers. I gotta say, they're not half bad. I kind of hate myself for that but I mean, I can't deny their sound is good.

By the time we got to Harry's place, I had watched all of them from a couple years ago. No wonder Louis had recognized them. I looked up to see a grinning Hazza sliding into the seat next to me. "Hey Lee." He said to me. Harry calls me Lee for no apparent reason, maybe because he thinks my name is spelled Brinlee. And it's not.
"Hey Hazza. What's chilling?" I told him. He shrugged.
"Not much. You excited?"
"Over the moon!" I said back. Honestly, I was stoked to go on this tour. I've always dreamed of the tour bus life. This might be my chance to finally get myself out there. I had posted quite a few covers of me just sitting on my bed and playing guitar and singing. People only knew me because I'm Louis's sister. But I want to be my own person. Besides, I could learn a lot from going on tour with these guys.
    Niall jumped into the other seat. "Hey Lou, hey Brinley." I nodded to him and smiled.
   "Hey Nialler." I responded. "Let's get going, shall we?" The boys started hooting and making strange noises. Niall was just laughing at Louis(what's new there?).

   We got Zayn and Liam then. And we were off to the airport. I went onto Spotify and listened to some of their music. It was okay. But I'd never tell them that, their egos were already bigger than their brain. I mean, most of them dropped out of school.
We got out of our car and got our luggage. At the airport, I saw Niall rushing forward to go hug the other band. I laughed. Niall wishes he was a part of their band so badly. I, on the other hand, was not as ecstatic to see them.
     I was the last one over to greet the boys. None of them looked very happy to see me either. Luke was scowling and Ashton was rolling his eyes. Calum and Michael looked unsure about me.
    I just folded my arms and waited behind Louis, kind of hiding from them. No such luck there either. "Brin, why are you hiding? Come say hi to the boys!" He said, pulling my shoulders so that I was in front of him now. The look on his face didn't look like what he said. It looked like please be nice or else I will leave back home. I closed my eyes and briefly breathed in. I forced a bitter smile onto my face.

   I regret dancing with Luke the other night. I don't regret telling him and Ashton off. I was just the tiniest bit vulnerable the other night and that was probably enough to let him in. I had made a hard surface with a prickly exterior after the last time I was hurt.
But they say that history will repeat itself. And that's what I'm afraid of. I won't let that happen to me again. I am strong and I don't need a man.

A/N: heeeyyy. Wazzup buddies. I don't know how long this is gonna be but I'm saying maybe 40-70ish chapters? Yeah okay byeeee🇧🇳
