Opening Act (A Niall Horan/Cody Simpson Fanfic)

Chapter 1

The first thing that registers inside my mind when I woke up is, who the heck was shaking me like a psychotic fan. Possibly, I'm having another one of those completely random dreams where I'm being attacked by squirrels.

Hey, no one said I was normal.

"Angeviiiiiil! Get up, it's Sunday!"

"Which is why I want to sleep in, you goofball," I groaned.

"From what you just said, I take it that you forgot that your bestfriend is due in the airport in about 3 hours," Harry smirked.

...he had me there.

"Get out, Styles," I said as I pushed him out of the door, ignoring his protests that he had to get his things. Uh, hello? My bestfriend is more important than whatever it is he wanted to take. I did my daily morning routine whenever I'm on tour: Brush, Shower, Clothes, Breakfast.

I made my way to the lounge area of the tour bus where the boys were hanging out. "Is that my hoodie?" Harry asked. I nodded. "Who said you can wear it?"

"Oh man up Harry. Or at least... boy up," I teased.

"Show some respect for your older brother, won't you, Angevil?"

"I will. Once you stop calling me that. My name is Jadelyn Angel Styles, dear brother," my voice dripped with sarcasm.

"Yeah but... you're not an Angel. You're evil."

Louis, Liam, Niall and Zayn laughed at Harry's sour-grape expression. Harry was my half-brother, and I was One Direction's opening act for their Take Me Home Tour. So I had to deal with him while I travelled all around the world with his bandmates. Thankfully, my best friend Alli was going to be staying with me. Good thing too because I was beginning to lose my sanity, and it's only been two months.

"Hey, anyone gonna follow me to the airport later?" I asked, tossing a bag of chips at Niall.

"Why don't we all go? It will be nice to go out. I never got to enjoy the California sun last time we visited," Liam suggested.

"Well it's 11am. If we go now, maybe we can stop by Starbucks," I suggested hopefully.

The boys stared at me with the same, "dude-you-for-real" look. I didn't understand why, until Harry took out his phone and showed me a video.

"I WEAR YOUR GRANDAD'S CLOTHES, I LOOK INCREDIBLEEE!" I danced like a headless chicken in the tour bus.

I winced.

"Yeah. After 18 cups of coffee, this is you." Harry grinned.

"Well, better than the red bull video. My goodness, that was a disaster!" Zayn laughed hysterically.

Ok, firstly, the coffee incident was a dare by Niall. The red bull incident was because we had a challenge to see who could stay up the longest period of time, and thirdly...

"Why do you still have that video?"

"To blackmail my lovely sister. It's not as if I'm planning to include it in the video montage for your Sweet Sixteen," Harry smiled evilly.

"You wouldn't!" I was absolutely horrified!

Knowing Harry, he probably would.

After promising that I would only have a grande caramel frappuchino with whipped cream and caramel, we went to Starbucks. We stayed there until 12, when we had to go to the airport.

When we got there, we headed to the "Arrivals", where my bestest friend in the world stood waiting for me.
