I'll Be The Anchor - Michael Clifford

We'll Find A Way To Run Away

I remember last night wasn't really wild, I remember falling asleep on Michael but I don't remember getting into bed.

Either way, I was woken up by a sleepy looking Ashton.

"Lennon, you and Michael are the only ones asleep... It's nearly noon. Lets go somewhere!" He begged, shaking me.

"Okay, okay. I'll get up." I said.

"And you know you wanna wake up Michael..." Ashton said winking.

"Oh I'd love too... Because he's such a morning person." I agreed rolling my eyes.

Ashton rolled his eyes as well and darted back towards the kitchen. I made my way out of my bunk and pulled the curtain to the one below me.

"I'm up." His deep accented voice spoke as we stared at a small lighted screen.

"Wasn't expecting that." I chuckled.

He turned the screen to black and looked at me.

"What're ya waiting there for?" He asked, "Trying to get a look?"

"A look of what?" I asked laughing.

"This body..." He motioned up and down his long torso.

"Right that's what I was doing, just get up." I said in a mockingly sassy tone.

"You know you like!" He called as I walked towards the back of the bus to retrieve my bags.

I few minutes later I was into my pink tattered shorts, black top, and white vans. I brushed my hair, applied my makeup and was finally satisfied enough to join everyone in the front.

"That was quicker than I thought it'd be..." Luke exclaimed, "I bet you'd be another twenty."

"Oh really?" I laughed, I'd gotten ready in about fifteen minutes and they seemed shocked. "Well if we're all done betting, lets get some lunch?"

"That'd be a good idea." Michael grumbled.

After a long thirty minutes an SUV was located to take the lot of us to lunch. We had also been informed that our bags were being place int he hotel for tonight's stay.

I couldn't be happier that I'd be off the bus. Although I wondered where I'd be rooming.

We'd located a small local establishment for food and ordered burgers, well, except Calum who ordered some type of chicken fingers.

"So what're y'all wanting to do today?" I asked them after the waitress brought our drinks.

"Lennon, where exactly are you from?" Michael asked.

"I'm from Georgia." I said. "It's above Florida if that helps."

"Your accent. Is great." Calum responded.

"I like yours much more." I nodded.

"You always want what you can't have, right?" Ashton said.

"I suppose, but what would y'all like to do?" I asked again.

"Michael mentioned going somewhere to bowl or play mini golf?" Luke piped.

"I need to go shopping to prolong the need to do laundry." Calum stated.

"I'd like to do that too." Ashton agreed.

"How about we go for a quick bowl, I'll call up the runner and get him to find one so that when we are done we can head that way?" I asked.

"Sweet." Michael said.

With everyone in agreement I secured the ride to the bowling alley and directions to a nearby mall. I wasn't sure how either would go over considering that I wasn't taking any security out. One Direction took all of them... Seeing as they'd be out visiting high profile tourist sites, while we preferred to keep low key for a bit.
