Chapter Twenty-One: Let's Get This Show On The Road

"I'm sitting with an empty glass and a broken heart..." My iPhone's ringtone began to sing. I pulled the green slide bar to the side and held it to my ear.

"Hello?" I said into the reciever.

"Hey Lex, Liam didn't answer his phone," It was the bus driver, "The bus is fixed you guys need to get back here."

"Ok thank you." I ended the call and began rounding up the boys. "Zayn let's go." I smiled and grabbed his hand.

"I saw Liam down by the Tilt-A-Whirl." He said.

"Ok let's go there first." I said as we trudged our way down to the Tilt-A-Whirl.

"Liam!" Zayn called. A little shell turned around revealing a overly smiling Liam.

"Lex, Zayn hello!" Liam laughed as the ride progressed, swiping him away. After a couple seconds of getting glimpses of Liam and smiling waves as he went by, the ride finally stopped. Liam came stumbling off the ride, dizzy and smiling like an idiot.

"Hey buddy." Zayn laughed as he got Liam to lean on us.

"Have fun on the rides, Li?" I laughed as he nodded vigorously. "Have you seen Lou or Niall?"

"I saw them by the games." Liam confirmed.

"Here sit there Li." I said and sat him on a table, "Don't move." I smiled as I bought him a water and sat it beside him.

"To the games we go." Zayn laughed as we looked through all the games. Suddenly, I heard a cackle, Niall's cackle.

"I hear him." I said, pulling Zayn in the direction of the laugh. The next thing I saw was horrific. There was Lou, stripped down to his boxers, sitting on the dunk tank chair and Niall cheering him on. "LOUIS FREAKING TOMLINSON." I screamed.

"Oh hey Lex!" He smiled down at me. I ran up to the edge of the pool.

"Get out of there it's time to leave!" I growled.

"No one has knocked me in yet!" He whined.

"NO GET DOWN!" I growled and pushed the button with my hand sending him into the pool. "Feel better?" I snapped.

"Yes actually." He smiled as he surfaced. I rolled my eyes as I tried to get down from the tank.

"Can I have some help please?" I asked as Niall came up to me and try to help me down. I looked down at my feet and looked at my tractionless converse as they slid on a puddle of water and sent me hurdling into the pool. I screamed the minute I surfaced. "OH MY LORD!" I shrieked. I pushed my wet locks out of my line of vision and with Lou and Niall's help I was out of the tank. "Sometimes I hate you Lou." I hissed.

"Lex I'm sorry." He said as he slipped his clothes back on.

"Just go sit with Liam please." I snapped as I led Niall and Lou to where Liam sat with his head on the tables. "Are you ok Liam?" I sighed and patted his head.

"Just dizzy." He murmured.

"Let's find Harry and Melissa now." I sighed as I pulled my wet hair into a ponytail. "Harry! Melissa!" I called as I began walking around. All of a sudden Harry and Melissa jumped out of nowhere nearly knocking me over.

H-hey Lex!" Harry stuttered nervously.

"Why are you wet?" Melissa asked.

"Let's just go." I growled as I pulled them back to where everyone else was. "Can someone else drive please?" I asked.

"I'll drive." Zayn smiled. I sighed in relief.

"Thank you." I sighed as we all hurried to the car. I jumped in the front seat and everyone else piled in the back except for Zayn who sat in the driver's seat.

"Thank god, back to the bus." Lou smiled.

"Lou you're grounded." I laughed.

"What?! You're kidding me right?" Lou demanded.

"I agree, you should be grounded." Liam chuckled.

"Ha!" I laughed. After a short ride we were finally back at the bus. "THE BUS!" I screetched and ran into the heated bus. It felt amazing on my wet clothes. Before anyone else was in the bus I ran to the bathroom, threw off my clothes and into my pajamas. Everyone was in the bus by the time I was changed.

"Let's get this show on the road!" The bus driver said as he smiled and turned on the bus.

"Yay!" We all cheered and began to applaud. Everyone was beginning to yawn and stretch.

"Night everyone." I smiled.

"Going to bed Sunshine." Zayn smiled and kissed my lips.

"Night." I smiled.

"Night." Liam said to me.

"Night Li Li." I laughed as he rolled his eyes.

"Night Alex." Niall yawned.

"Actually can I talk to you?" I whispered and he looked at me with those giant blue eyes.

"Uh yeah sure." He smiled and waited for the other boys to leave. I said night to Harry and sat in front of Niall with a cup of tea.

"How are we going to tell people?" I asked, messing with the rim of my cup and looking back at my new teddy bear.

"We should tell our families first." Niall stated simply.

"Well I would prefer telling your parents and mine with us being together." I said.

"I understand that, we have a break coming up for New Year's." He said.

"You, Melissa, and I can go to Ireland together." I said, he smiled.

"I'd like that...Greg really likes you," he said. I blushed, I didn't think his older brother cared for me. "So does Mum and Dad."

"Yeah, my mum and Danny liked you too." I laughed. Suddenly there was an awkward silence. "Now for the real issue, telling management and the fans."

"Uh we could tell the management, then we could set up interviews and..."

"I want to the fans personally." I said simply. He seemed a little caught off guard. He shrugged it off and grinned a little.

"Yeah sure." He smiled at me. "I'm going to bed Alex, love you."

"Goodni-wait what?" I asked and turned in the direction he was walking.

"Uh what I ment was.." He laughed nervously, "Night, I'm glad we worked this out." He blushed a little walking into the bunk area, leaving me with cold tea. "Oh and Alex?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't know how the management will react, be prepared for anything."
