Living the High Life

Chapter 36

I went to sit in the stands of the arena to read the note from Michael so that no one would look over my shoulder and be nosey at what it said. I sat down right at the back of the arena so that I would be hard to spot if anyone came looking for me. Then I pulled the note from my pocket and opened it.

'Rhianne, I want you to help me. I want to propose to charlotte. The best way I can think of doing it is close to the end of your tour asking her up on stage and doing it then. But I need your help in order for me to be able to do this. I saw on your tour date list that you're in Rome, Italy on the 3rd of October. Could I do it then. Please talk to the other boys and let me know what they say. I want us all to be there and me and the rest of the 5sos boys will all fly out without Charlotte knowing. Me and the boys will stay at a different hotel to you, Charlotte and the boys. Please let me know as soon as you can about this so that I can book the hotel and flights. Many thanks Michael.'

I read the note a further 3 times before folding it up and putting it back in my pocket.

I went back to the dressing room and charlotte wasn't back yet. I spoke to the boys and they all seemed up for it. I then spoke to Alex, Ben and Calum and they were fine. I called up the arena in Rome and spoke to them and they were okay to have the arena open for an extra half an hour but we had to be out by 12 which was fine. I planned to be in bed by then.

I had to do all this under charlotte nose. Which was really hard but I managed it. Every time she came into the room I went out or whenever I was on my phone texting Michael and she was sat next to me I would put my phone away and answer him later on.

Someone else that was acting a bit strange was Brad. He'd been acting strange for a couple of weeks and I was the only one that had picked up on it the others every time I said something about it knocked me down and told me I was talking rubbish which made me think they knew what was going on. I brushed my suspicions away until I found Brad in one of the spare changing rooms in berlin talking to someone.

He put the phone down straight away.

"Hey Brad you okay? You've been acting strange since Sid left the tour." I said sitting next to him

"Yeah I'm fine." He said I looked at him

"Okay fine." He said

I sat and listened to what he had to say then said "Why did you think I would care."

"Because he's your best friend." Brad said

"Brad I don't care. It's the pap and the press you have to worry about." I said

"yeah this is true. But so many people have 'Come out' that I don't think it really matters any more." Brad said

"Why don't you do something on the Youtube channel rather than the press squeezing it out of you." I said

"Yeah that's not a bad idea." Brad said

"Brad I couldn't give a rats arse your still my best friend and so is he. If that's what makes you happy then fine." I said smiling

"Thanks for your support." Brad said

"What do the other boys think?" I asked

"They're okay with it." Brad said

"They caught us." Brad said

"What do you mean caught you." I said

"When we were in Birmingham we were in the tour bus I had to get my phone and he came to make sure I was okay and we kissed." Brad said

"Oh." I said I had no idea what to say

"Yeah it was my first guy kiss but there has always been something there. You know a hot guy will come into the arena or when were out and I see a hot guy and you and charlotte are talking about them saying how hot or fit they are and I can't help but be like 'yeah he was hot.'" He finished speaking but went a beautiful shade of red. I just laughed
