"Love you're staring" Matty said his voice muffled because his head was buried in the crook of his arm and his hair draped over him.

"Sorry" I said rubbing my eyes so he wouldn't notice. But he's Matty.

When he picked his head up his smile was there then it faded into this troublesome look of distress that made my stomach turn and my eyes even more moist.

"What's wrong?" He asked forcefully.

I didn't know what to say. My boy.

"I saw Isis while I was gone, I'm just thinking about everything they said to me" I said softly shaking my head.

"Send them straight to hell Abigail if anything they had to say wasn't nice" He said sternly as he sat up. "Fuck love sorry I stole you bed"

I smiled softly at the imperfect boy in front of me. He had major bed head and he was awfully pale. No shirt on but very tight briefs.

My boy.

"No it's fine I just got here anyways" I said with my back leaning against the wall of the bus.

"So then you're tired, come on now I've slept enough" he said patting on the bed motioning for me to come over.

I did without hesitation because I needed a better look at him. I needed to see what I missed before.

As I stood up off the ground his eyes stayed on me. My hands shook slightly but I folded them into fist so he wouldn't notice.

I kicked off my shoes as I climbed into bed next to him then engulfed myself in the sheets that smelled purely like him.

"How was the city of angels?" He asked leaning back into the pillows.

"Interesting" I nodded.

"Did you see that prick?" He asked looking down at his nails.

"Yeah" I nodded folding the pillow up under my head.

"Oh" he nodded.

"I'm sorry" I said softly as I closed my eyes.

"Sorry for what love?" He asked.

"I'm so sorry" I said then doze off.

When I woke up I almost died looking at the time.

It was well off into the afternoon and I was still in bed. I cursed myself as I got up, slipping on some less tighter clothes then rushed out my room to see an even worse sight.

"So happy you're back" George smiled waving at me.

"God did we miss an interview? A photo shoot? I'm gonna get fired" I said ignoring his joy and rushing to my death.

"Are you on something?" James asked and I froze. I wanted to cry again.

"Abbi?" Ross called.

"Abigail?!" Matty shouted.

"Do we have anything to do today before the show?" I asked softly.

"No Jamie figured you would be exhausted" Adam smiled.

I nodded then leaned against the counters. "Uh okay"

"You're awfully odd today, what is it?" John asked and their faces made me feel like a mad woman.
