A/N - This story has also been published on the website 'QuoteV' but in a scripted style, I have decided to write the same storyline out on here but as a proper story.

Please tell me what you think! 💞

*Ross's POV*

I looked over Rydel's shoulder and peered into our new tour bus. We did it. We are about to start our first huge tour, traveling to Paris, London and Australia!

Our manager walked up the stairs and stood in front of us. "Right guys, I've hired a new member for the R5 team." We all looked around at each other. He extended his arm which pointed towards the door of the bus. A blonde girl climbed up onto the bus with a bag over her shoulder and a 'Loud Tour' pass around her neck. She stood next to Rob.

She was small, petite. She looked nervous. She was listening carefully to what Rob was saying.

"This is Caitlin, her job is to help you guys with whatever you need. She will be staying on the bus with you guys, documenting most of the tour and updating the fans on the website! Sort of like the bands personal assistant! So I'll let you guys get introduced!" Rob stepped back "I'll see you all when you arrive home! Your parents are meeting you at the last show to say their goodbyes before you head over seas! Have a good one!"

*Caitlin's POV*

Rob moved behind me and started walking off the bus. "I'll see you all when you arrive home! Have a good one!". The door shut behind him.

Crap.

It felt like I was stood there for ages. With them all watching me.

"Hey, nice to meet you"

Ross. I think. I can't really put names to faces. He stood up and extended his arm and held hand out in front of me.

"You too!" I smiled. I grabbed his hand and he smiled back. "I love your music".

"Great!" Riker stood up and nudged Ross out the way. "This is Rydel, Ratliff and -"

Rocky stood up and held out his hand in front of me. "Hey, Rocky". His bandmates burst out laughing. Rocky rolled his eyes then looked right at me. "Ignore them". I smiled and shook his hand.

"And this is our younger brother Ryland" Riker said pulling Ryland out from behind them. "Hey, nice to meet you" He said and went and sat back in his chair.

*Ross's POV*

Riker pulled Ryland from behind me. "Hey, nice to meet you". He went back to his original seat after that. As soon as I got up close to Caitlin I noticed she had such amazing blue eyes. I'd never seen any like them before! I couldn't stop staring.

I snapped back into focus once Rydel pushed me. "Hey!" I glared at her as she picked up her bags. "Stop drooling" she whispered. "What?" I crossed my arms. "You know exactly what I'm talking about" she smiled.

That's the only thing about working with my family. As much as I love them and we're all together, they can read me like a book. I can't even look at a girl without them thinking that I've fallen madly in love. Which I haven't. But I'm a seventeen year old boy. I'm going to look at a girl once in a while.

*Caitlin's POV*

As soon as introductions were out the way I got settled into my bunk. Because I was basically the bands personal assistant I had to be with them all the time while they were working. I found myself a middle bunk to sleep on, which wasn't exactly my first choice but I can't complain. Rydel sleeps on the bunk below me and Ratliff on the top. Riker sleeps on the bottom bunk opposite, with Rocky sleeping in the middle and Ross on the top bunk.

That evening everyone just settled down watching TV. I had to find myself something to do so I started looking through the bands official website and see what I could do to update it. Rydel sat down next to me and opened up her laptop.

"What you doing?" She asked peering over looking at my screen.

"Just updating the website. Tour dates, merchandise. Stuff like that" I replied moving items around the screen. "Nice, so where you from?" Rydel turned around so she was facing me directly. "LA, but originally the UK" I smiled, hoping it sounded interesting. Ross looked up from his phone "Really?"

I nodded. "You don't sound like you do" He raised his eyebrow. "I...Uh moved to the US when I was eleven. With my aunt" I looked around to see them all staring at me. Oh god. Why did I even speak!

"Woah, so you lost the British accent then?" Rocky said. "Yeah, kind of just disappeared after a while" I tried going back to work again but I'd said to much and now I really have to talk.

"So are you looking forward to going back then? To the UK?" Ratliff said with his eyes still locked on the tv screen. "I guess...I mean I haven't been there in ages...not since I left actually" I trailed off. Thinking about leaving the place I loved and living somewhere so far away. "Where did you live?" Riker asked setting down his phone next to him. "In the heart of London, in a apartment" I tried to make it obvious that I just wanted to get back to my job and then go to sleep. "With your aunt?" Rydel had turned back to her laptop updating her twitter. "Uh no...my parents actually".

Just thinking about my parents just made me want to curl in a ball and hide away, I just wonder what they would think of me now.

"So why do you live with your aunt?" Rocky asked while trying to distract Ellington from his video game and beating Ross. "Guys! Stop being so nosey!"

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

I thought to myself. I was not up for explaining my past. I don't do that. Never. No one needs to know.

I laughed a little trying to lighten the mood. "Well I'm going to bed. Long day tomorrow. Night" I said quickly. I shut my laptop and started heading to the back of the bus and then I heard five "Goodnights" from behind me. I smiled at them and made climbed into my bunk.

*Rydel's POV*

"So why do you live with your aunt" Rocky said while waving his hand in front of Ratliff's face. I rolled my eyes "Guy's stop being so nosey!" My brothers looked at me and glared. I know they hate it when I catch them out or tell them off. But the poor girl is getting hit with questions, which she most defiantly did not want to answer. Unlike the boys I noticed. By then she started packing her stuff away. "Well I'm going to bed. Long day tomorrow. Night". Caitlin started walking towards the back of the bus. But stopped in her tracks after we all shouted 'Goodnight' to her. She turned around and smiled. Like no one had even said it to her before. I saw her climb into her bunk and close the curtain.

There's something about her. She's hiding away.

"She looks like I nice girl" I said to the boys who went back to their own thing. Riker looked up and nodded in agreement "Yeah".

"I wonder why she moved in with her aunt though" Rocky said leaning his back and rubbing his eyes. "It's none of our business" Riker beat me to the answer.

"She'll tell us if she wants us to know" Ross said, who was now spread out on the floor. "Come on let's go to bed" I said while lightly kicking Ross's side.

"It's so far though" Ross moaned.

I rolled my eyes.

A/N- Not a very long chapter but I wanted to get the first one up as soon as I could! I'll be updating when I can. Obviously it's taken me longer to write the story out in this style then scripted so I'll try my best to update regularly. Let me know what you think. 💞
