Jace

{9}

Three stitches later and a little after 4am, we arrived back at the buses. The boys had sobered up mostly and most were asleep. Louis refused to even talk about what had happened between him and the red headed girl and Harry didn't even remember attacking the post. Niall had the blonde's number scrawled on the bottom of his foot and doesn't even know how it got there considering he was wearing sneakers, nor does he remember her name.

"Maybe we all should've stayed home with Jacelyn," Zayn said as we climbed out of the car. A yellow taxi pulled up next to it and we stared, rather confused, until Madison and Katherine climbed out looking ready to kill us.

"We were there for two hours looking for you!!" Madison shouted over the roar of the engine when the taxi pulled away.

"We called you like ten times!" Katherine added.

We forgot the dancers.

Louis rubbed his face tiredly. "I'm sorry! Harry had to get stitches and we were all drunk-"

"Forget it!" Madison stormed off into her bus before he could finish. Katherine gave us an apologetic look, but as we had learned, she always followed Madison.

"This was a bad idea," Niall said. "I'm going to bed."

And so we all filed into our bus with Louis leading the charge and Harry bringing up the rear. You can imagine my surprise when I tripped over a costume bag and fell face first into Lou. That sent him flying and he landed on top of a small black dance duffle bag. Niall tripped over me and crashed into a makeup chest and luckily, Zayn had the idea to stop before any more of us could fall down.

"Fuuuuck," Louis groaned as he stood up and turned on a light. He pointed a finger towards his bunk where an over sized black tee shirt stuck out of the tumble of blankets and blue streaked hair covered the pillow like a second skin.

"Jace?" Zayn said quietly. He didn't want to wake her.

"She's in my bunk!"

"Then wake her up," Niall said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"JaceyBear," Louis teased, shaking her shoulder gently. "Come on, you're in my bunk."

Jace moaned, but didn't move an inch.

"JaceyBear? Can you hear me?"

"JaceyBear," she growled without opening her eyes, "can hear you perfectly well and says shut up."

"Come on," he whined. "Just move to your bus and you can go back to sleep."

"Go away."

"You're drooling on my pillow!"

"Good."

"Jace!"

"Louis!" She opened her eyes a fraction and hit him with a pillow, rolling over in the process.

"I'm not kidding. Get up," Louis said in mock seriousness, hoping to scare her out of his bunk.

"Lou, seriously, shut up. I crashed after the show while you went partying. It's your own fault I'm here."

"Why are you in our bus?"

"They all look the same and I was tired. You're lucky I didn't end up in a tree."

Louis grunted, "Fine." And he lifted Jace up and over his shoulder.

"Louis William Tomlinson you put me down right now!" Jace's oversized black tee shirt she wore to bed fell past her stomach, revealing her bright blue underwear that said LOVE PINK with little blue bows on the sides.

When he set her down again, this time in Harry's bunk, she pouted. Her bed shirt caved in in between her breasts and hung loose around her flat stomach.

"I hate you."

"Love you too baby," Louis chuckled as he slid into his own bed.

"Fine," she glared, leaning over and turning out the light. "I farted on your pillow."

"Nope! Na uh get out!" Harry turned back on the light and pulled off his shirt and jeans to get ready for bed.

"Whyyyy?" She whined. "I'm a joy to be around."

"You just said you farted on his pillow. Get out of my bunk and off of my fart-less pillow."

"You farted on stage...don't even try to hide it because we all know it happened."

A smile tugged on his lips and the rest of us giggled.

"Out."

Then I realized it. Maybe this was my chance. Maybe this was a way to get closer to her. So as she climbed out I swallowed a lump in my throat and said, "Y-You can sleep in my bunk if you want. We can share..."

She smiled eagerly and hurriedly climbed to my bed on the top. I was already in my boxer shorts that I slept in...but then noticed how awkward it would be if we shared a bed and I slept in boxers. So I threw on some sweat pants and climbed in after her.

"Don't close the curtains tonight everyone," Louis said, pulling his wide open. I scrunched my nose.

"Why?"

"I don't want any funny business with us all in here! You can do that on your own time but I don't want to know its happening!"

"Louis!" Jace laughed, rolling over to face him over the edge of my bunk.

I was scrunched against the wall to give her as much space as possible when the light went out.

She giggled. "I don't bite. You don't have to shove yourself away from me."

I exhaled a breath I didn't know I'd been holding and relaxed, soon letting my chest rest against her back.

"Hey love birds," Niall called in the darkness. "Shut up!"

{oo dang Ed Sheeran's new song I See Fire came out and holy jebus that boy is amazing😍(<-heart faced emoji in case you're on a computer). They speak the truth when they call him Ginger Jesus!! Soo I think everyone should go buy it because his voice makes me cry a river of beautifulness straight into the candy came forest.
