Harry and I don't have a chance to speak privately without it being weird until the issue of who's tour bus I can stay on arises. I look around to each boy that's in the semi-circle in front of me, they're discussing what makes sense. Niall and Louis said that they should let the older lads get to know me too and let me stay with them until the next stop. My boys aren't having that though. I scan each person and notice Harry is staring right at me, giving me a look that says 'now.'

"I'll go on the 1D bus, it's only until the next stop right? Then I'll be an avid 5sauce bus-er."

Ashton rolls his eyes. "That sounded pretty lame, but I guess that'll do if you're okay with it. I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

Louis and Niall have a quiet victory and Ashton hugs me while Luke runs inside the 5SOS bus to grab my packed overnight bag.

"Here ya go." He hands me my bag and I sling the right strap onto my right shoulder.

Ashton turns to the guys, "Alright, there are rules though." Louis runs to me and grabs my arm, hauling me towards the bus. "Hey! You guys better give her space, and no sleeping in the same vicinity!"

"Sorry, cant hear you!" Harry shouts as we all enter the bus.

I look out the tinted window above the kitchen table once we're inside and see Ashton shaking his head with a fond smile, he looks at the window when I slide it open.

"Love you Ash! I'll see you at our next stop!" I wave and he waves back.

"Love you too, sis!" He yells back while the bus is driving away, walking behind the other boys as they climb into their bus.

I try to wave while were moving but I soon feel somebodies fingers on the skin above my hip. Letting out a screech, I turn to face Louis.

"Louis, what the fuck!" I try to push his hands away but he keeps reaching for my sides.

"Lads!" Louis yells. Liam and Niall reappear in the kitchen section, Harry was already there watching with a smile. "Looks like somebody is ticklish."

"No! No I am most definitely not, don't even think about it Tommo."

"Okay, but only for now because you called me by a nickname and not my full name." Louis backs away.

"I made no promises!" Harry steps forward and tickles me shortly before picking me up and draping me over his shoulder. I scowl at the other boys' laughter as Harry carries me further into the bus, setting me on a couch in the back. He shuts the door and turns to me.

"Now can you explain?" His facade falls as he looks at me pointedly.

"I guess. But you have to promise me you won't tell anybody." I wait but he just rolls his eyes. "If you do then I won't ever talk to you or any of the boys again."

"Is it really that serious?" He asks incredulously.

"It is to me, and I don't keep friends that I can't trust."

"Okay, I promise." He finally accepts that it's serious.

I open my mouth to start telling him the truth when the other guys barge into the living room.

"Closed door ay? Ash wouldn't like that." Louis says matter of factly before plopping down on the couch, sitting next to me on my right. Harry remains to my left and sends me a curious glance before he put his attention to the TV that Niall had turned on.

"So, what's our next stop anyway?" I direct my question to no one in particular but Niall speaks up.

"I think it's in Florida or something."
