Chapter Seven

It's been 4 days since the first concert and can I just say, I'm fucking exhausted. There's a show every night, and I'm completely drained. Even the boys are starting to get tired. Carson was hired as my drummer for the rest of the tour, and she quit her job back in NY doing whatever it was she did. We are currently on a plane, One Direction's private plane at that, heading back to the US to continue the tour.

"Oof." I huffed as Niall came over and sat on me. "Get off you stupid leprechaun, I can't breath!"

He grinned and took the seat beside me. "So where's Carson and Lissa?" He asked me casually.

"Carson's peeing, and Lissa is asleep somewhere." I told him rolling my eyes. "I think she tapped herself to a bed in the back and knocked herself out with pills."

Niall's eyes widened, "Actually? Why?"

"She's afraid of heights."

"Ah, I see."

Then a voice came over the intercom, "Everyone please buckle up as we prepare for the decent." Niall walked back to his seat and Carson came running over a minute later, strapping herself to the seat.

"So where are we going first?" She asked me.

"Los Angeles. I have to stop at home for a bit." I replied quietly.

"Do we get to come?"

"No." I snapped harshly.

She flinched and I felt bad for scaring her, but thinking of them in my house, I don't even want to think about it.

"I'm sorry." I apologized, "I just don't think that's a good idea. I've been on edge since...before..."

She nodded glancing over at Liam quickly, "You should really talk to him..."

I shook my head and looked out the window out onto the city of LA, you could see the water and people having fun on the beach. "Not now...Maybe, later."

We got off the plane and stepped into the crowded airport. The boys went off to sign autographs and take pictures with fans and so did Lissa and Carson. Right when I went to walk away someone grabbed my arm. I turned to see Andy looking worried.

"What?"

He hesitated, "I'm not letting you go home by yourself for 2 days Tessley."

"So what, you're going to keep me in a hotel? I need to go home and get some stuff." I gave him a pointed look, "And I'm not taking any of them with me, so on one's going to know."

"Are you crazy!?" He challenged harshly.

"There's nothing wrong with him!" I spat angrily, "He's fine now!" 

I ripped my arm away from him and walked over to the fans to sign some of their things and take some pictures. Fuck Andy, he doesn't know what he's saying.

"Lazer tag?" Zayn asked incredulously as we pulled up in front of a building.

I grinned, "Yup, Lissa and I do this all the time!" She nodded, "It's great!" I continued, "I rented the whole venue for us!"

We walked in and a guy helped us put on the gear. "So be careful in there. No spitting, littering or damaging the room or you'll pay for damages."

"I make no promises." Louis replied cheerfully.

The guy scowled at us and walked away muttering something along he lines of 'stupid celebrities'. I rolled my eyes and walked into the arena, which was pitch black but had the odd splash of glow-in-the-dark paint.
