A Year With The Rowlands

Chapter 3

We pulled up to our hotel and I smiled when I saw a familiar blonde standing near the entrance.
HUNTER: "Dude, Simon's here!"
ME: "Oh. I forgot to tell you guys. Mark and Simon are here with us this weekend. They wanted to see me perform and wanted to hang out. They'll be staying in the room next to us."
BRANDON: "Awesome!"
I giggled and we all got out of the uber. I grabbed my bag and followed Mama Rowland and the boys into the hotel while Simon walked beside me.
SIMON: "So, how do you like being with the Rowlands?"
ME: "It's loud."
He laughed. We got our room key then took the elevator upstairs. We walked to our room and Simon walked into the room next to us. I went to put my bag away. After I put my stuff up, I looked at Brandon.
ME: "Hey I'm gonna go visit Si and Mark. I'll see you in a bit Babe."
BRANDON: "I'll be in there in a bit. Blake and Jacob should be here soon too."
I nodded and walked out of our room and into Simon and Mark's room. I really need to learn to knock. I smacked my hand over my eyes when I realized Mark had no pants on and Simon wasn't wearing a shirt.
ME: "Girl in the room! Mark, my boyfriend's gonna freak! Put some effing pants on!"
MARK: "I'm done already..."
ME: "Si, are you decent?"
SIMON: "Yeah. Sorry."
I uncovered my eyes. Simon and Mark were sitting on their beds. I walked over and hugged them both. I then laid across Simon's bed, facing Mark.
ME: "What should we do tonight? MagCon still doesn't start until tomorrow afternoon."
MARK: "Well, I was searching online for cool hang out spots and I found this cool looking Club. It's for people our age."
ME: "Clubbing? Really Mark? It won't be as cool if we went to a club and didn't get drunk."
MARK: "That's the cool part. They only give out alcohol to the rich kids!"
I smiled. My smile disappeared though when I saw Simon's frown.
ME: "What's the matter, Simon?"
SIMON: "I'm supposed to be the resposible one so I can't let you guys go. Mama Rowland would never let us go anyway."
At that moment Hunter and Brandon walked in.
HUNTER: "What are we talking about guys?"
ME: "Mark and I wanna try and get drunk tonight but Simon doesn't like the idea."
BRANDON: "Get drunk?! ABBY, ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
HUNTER: "Where are we even going to get the alcohol?"
MARK: "There's this teen club close by that sells under the table alcohol to rich kids. It closes at midnight so if we're going we need to go now."
I walked over to Brandon. I gave him puppy dog eyes and a pouty lip. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
ME: "Please Brandon, come with us?"
BRANDON: "Uh...Um uh s-sure. As long as we don't drink too much I don't think it'll be that bad."
I smiled then turned to Hunter. Brandon wrapped his arms around my waist while he stood behind me.
ME: "What about you Hunter? You're not going to let your little brother go alone are you?"
He hesitated for a minute then shook his head.
HUNTER: "It could be fun."
I smiled.
MARK: "Come on Simon. You don't have to drink anything. You can be our designated walker or something."
He sighed.
SIMON: "Ugh. Fine but only because I don't wanna seem like a loser."
ME: "Si, you will never seem like a loser."
HUNTER: "What are we gonna tell mom?"
I smirked.
ME: "Leave that to me."
I unwrapped myself from Brandon and walked out and into our room. Christine was sitting on the bed with Ashton watching a movie.
CHRISTINE: "Oh hey Abby. How are you and the guys doing?"
ME: "Actually Mama Rowland, Me and the guys were wondering if we could go out for a bit? We wanna go see this new movie then we'll probably explore a while before we come back."
CHRISTINE: "Is Simon going?"
I nodded.
CHRISTINE: "Simon's in charge since he's oldest. Be careful. Take your phones with you."
I grabbed my phone and my wallet then ran out and back into Simon and Mark's room.
ME: "We're good to go. She believes we're going to the movies then exploring Seattle."
SIMON: "I can't believe you lied to Mama Rowland. She's gonna kill you."
ME: "It'll be worth it. Come on Brando!"
We all ran out the door and into the elevator.
MARK: "I'll look up the directions on google maps."
I laughed.
ME: "Forget that Mark. Let's just take a taxi."
MARK: "Fine. But we walk back. Half of us will probably be wasted anyway."
ME: "Deal."
We got into the taxi but had to crowd in since there were 5 of us and only 3 seats. Hunter, Simon, and Brandon took the seats. I sat on Brandon's lap and fortunately the taxi driver was nice enough to let Mark sit up front.
"Where are you kids headed at 8pm anyway?"
'I could've sworn it was later than 8. The time change is crazy.'
ME: "We'd like to go to that Teen Club please."
"Oh you mean TEENZ with a Z?"
MARK: "Yeah that one."
He nodded and started driving. 5 minutes later we pulled up. The place had flashing lights inside and out. Mark got out first since he was in front. I got out and paid the driver then everyone else got out. As I looked at the building, I realized I'd been here before. My mom owned the place! Yes, she was a fashion designer but she also has a few Teen Clubs in Seattle, Dallas, and Wisconsin. I turned to the guys.
ME: "Mark, who'd it say this place was owned by?"
MARK: "Someone named Nicki Daniels. Why?"
Then he realized what he said.
MARK: "Your mom owns the club!"
I nodded. I walked up to the bouncer with the boys following me. I recognized him as Buddy, a member of my dad's security team. He smiled when he saw me.
BUDDY: "Abigail! You're father told me you were on tour. I guess first stop is Seattle huh?"
ME: "Yeah. The tour date is tomorrow. Mark thought we could use some fun."
He looked at the boys behind me.
ME: "Oh! Buddy, this is Simon Britton, Mark Thomas, Hunter Rowland, and my boyfriend Brandon Rowland. Hunter and Brandon are on the tour with me along with 2 other teens. Jacob Sartorius and Blake Gray."
Then my phone rang. I looked at the I.D. It was Blake.
ME: "Hold on a minute Buddy."
ME: "Hey Blake what's up?"
BLAKE: "Where are you guys?"
ME: "We're at this teen club called Teenz with a Z. My mom owns it. It's 5 minutes from the hotel. Meet us here?"
BLAKE: "I'm bringing Jacob."
ME: "Duh. Hurry up or we'll go in without you."
I hung up and just stood there.
SIMON: "So now it's going to be me, you, Hunter, Brandon, Mark, Blake, and Jacob?"
I nodded.
BUDDY: "Don't worry son. I can get the limo driver to take you guys home afterwards. Are any of you drinking tonight?"
The guys had looks of shock on their faces and I laughed.
ME: "Guys chill. Buddy is cool. He won't tell any parents. He works for my dad. There was this one time where I actually got super drunk and Buddy ended up picking me up. My mom and dad never caught me. The bartender will most likely be someone I know too."
BUDDY: "Oh actually your Uncle Dom is bartending tonight."
My eyes grew wide and I grinned.
ME: "Seriously?! That's awesome!"
Finally a taxi pulled up and Jacob and Blake got out. I went to pay for their taxi and gave them hugs.
BLAKE: "So why are we at a club? And who's the scary dude at the door?"
ME: "My mom owns teen clubs in Dallas, Wisconsin, and here. At Teenz with a Z, some of the bartenders sell under the table alcohol. I happen to know the bartender since he's my uncle so drinks on me tonight. I'm planning to get wasted. Everyone's drinking except for Simon cause he's a wuss. Are you guys gonna drink?"
JACOB: "As long as I don't get completely wasted I think I'll be fine."
BLAKE: "I'm in! It'll be fun!"
The guys followed me over to Buddy.
ME: "And the scary guy, well he is nothing but a big Teddy Bear. He works for my dad in the security department and one night drove me home since it was my first time getting drunk."
JACOB: "You've gotten drunk before?!"
ME: "I was 13 and had a very bad taste in guys. He talked me into getting drunk and I vomited everywhere. I'm much better with liquor now."
BLAKE: "You are a badass!"
I giggled.
ME: "Buddy, it looks like everyone here is drinking except Simon."
He lifted up the red rope.
BUDDY: "Have fun. Simon, when the club closes or when you all are ready to leave, come and get me and I'll help round everyone up into the limo."
Simon nodded and we all walked in. The music blasted in my ears. Ed Sheeran was blasting but it was a more punked out version. I liked it. I turned to the guys. Blake, Jacob, and Hunter were gone. I looked around and laughed as I watched each of them try to score a girl. They wouldn't want anyone in here. I turned to Simon, Brandon, and Mark. Since the music was so loud, I had to practically scream.
ME: "I'M HEADING TO THE BAR. ARE YOU COMING?"
Mark nodded but Brandon walked off to the dance floor. 'Ok then...' Simon shook his head and followed Brandon. I walked over to Blake and Jacob and pulled them away from the girls then went and pulled Hunter away. He protested but came anyway.
BLAKE: "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
ME: "WE CAME HERE TO GET WASTED YOU FOOL! DON'T GO AFTER GIRLS UNTIL YOU'RE DRUNK OFF YOUR ASSES!"
He laughed and Hunter, Blake, Jacob, Mark, and I walked to the bar. It was empty except my uncle who smiled when he saw me.
DOM: "NIECE!"
ME: "UNCLE DOM! IT'S BEEN FOREVER!"
DOM: "I KNOW! WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS?"
ME: "UNCLE DOM, THIS IS MARK THOMAS, JACOB SARTORIUS, BLAKE GRAY, AND HUNTER ROWLAND. MY BOYFRIEND BRANDON IS AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE THEN THERE'S SIMON BRITTON DANCING ON THE DANCE FLOOR LOOKING LIKE NIALL HORAN!"
DOM: "NICE TO MEET YOU ALL. I'M ABBY'S UNCLE DOMINIC. WHAT CAN I GET YOU?"
ME: "THE STRONGEST DRINKS YOU HAVE DOM AND KEEP THEM COMING! WE GETTING WASTED TONIGHT! WHOO!"
He laughed and bent down to get the hidden drinks. He made us drinks and I was the first to finish mine.
