Avi’s POV

“This is torture!  How do girls go through this every day?!”  Louis cries.  I just chuckle and keep putting eyeliner on him.

“Avi has never actually worn eyeliner.”  Arella says.

“…and you’re letting her put it on me?”  Louis asks.  I laugh evilly.  I just have to.

“She puts it on Cole all the time.  He’s a rocker like me.”  Arella explains.

“Sit still Louis or you’ll get poked in the eye.”  I say.  He keeps squirming.

“Avi, when are you going to dye my hair?”  Niall asks.

“As soon as Louis decides to sit still and let me finish his eyeliner.”  I say.

“Avi, would you wear these?”  Zayn asks, holding up a pair of Union Jack leggings.

“Yes, yes I would.”  I say.  Louis squirms again.  “Louis! Sit still!”  He pouts but sits still long enough for me to finish.  I shoo him out of the bathroom then and Niall takes his place.  I sure am in high demand this morning.  I get started on Niall’s hair, just as I see Harry about to plug in a hair straightener.  “Wait harry, unplug the curling iron first or you’ll blow out the plug.”  He nods and does as I say.  I go back to Niall’s hair.  Well, I try to.  But he suddenly jumps up and chases after Ame, who is about to run off the bus in her underwear.  He knocks me backwards into the counter and my elbow sends the hair dye flying, into Jades face.

“…I give up…”  I say, and walk out of the bathroom.  I sit on the couch next to Liam, who is wincing while listening to AA.  I almost envy him.  I’d give anything to listen to music right now.  But of course, I’m not allowed to.

“Hey princess.”  Louis says, sitting next to me and pulling me into his lap.  I curl up against him.  “You did a good job with my eyeliner.”  He says.

“Thanks.”  I mutter, closing my eyes.  He holds me closer.  I know Liam is watching us and trying not to let us notice.  I don’t care.  I need a cuddle.  Suddenly, I’m getting my face licked.  I giggle.  “Loki!”  Liam’s puppy is on the couch now and licking my face like crazy.

“Thank you Liam.”  Louis says.

“Welcome.”  I guess Liam put Loki up on the couch for me.  And that is why Liam is the daddy.  He’s good at cheering people up.  Niall comes back on the bus, dragging Ame behind him.  She’s smiling innocently and grabs Zayn’s jacket off the couch and puts it on before Niall shoves her towards the back of the bus.

“Sorry about that.  Had to make sure she wasn’t raped.  I’m ready for you to do my hair now.”  He says.

“About that.  Jade is kinda wearing the dye now…”  I tell him.  “I’ll have to go get more.”

“Oh no you’re not.  I’ll go get it.”  Louis says, putting me off his lap and running out the door.  I just shake my head.  Today is going to be crazy.

Carolyn’s POV

“Tonight we have a little treat.  Just like we’ve all had to fulfill our dares, someone else is going to do one as well.”  Liam says.  I take a deep breath.  They’ve explained their new looks already and have song a couple songs.  Now it’s my turn.

“My beautiful girlfriend will be singing my part for this next song.”  Zayn starts.  “Come on out here Carolyn!”  Everyone cheers as I nervously walk up and stand next to him.  The music for Tell Me A Lie starts playing and we all sing.

[Liam]

Can't ever get it right

No matter how hard I try

And I've tried

[Zayn]

Well, I put up a good fight

But your words cut like knives

And I'm tired

As you break my heart again this time

[Chorus:]

Tell me I'm a screwed up mess

That I never listen, listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss

That you need your distance, distance

Tell me anything but don't you say he’s what you're missing, baby

If he's the reason that you’re leaving me tonight

Spare me what you think and...

[Liam] tell me a lie

[Liam]

Well you're the charming type

That little twinkle in your eye

Gets me every time.

[Harry]

And well there must've been a time

I was the reason for that smile

So keep in mind

[Liam]

As you take what's left of you and I

[Chorus:]

Tell me I'm a screwed up mess

That I never listen, listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss

That you need your distance, distance

Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing, baby

If he's the reason that you’re leaving me tonight

Spare me what you think and...

Tell me a lie

(Oh, oh, oh)

Tell me a lie

(Oh, oh, oh)

Tell me a lie

(Oh, oh, oh)

Tell me a lie!

[Chorus:]

Tell me I'm a screwed up mess (mess)

That I never listen, listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss (kiss)

That you need your distance, distance

Tell me anything but don't you say he's what you're missing, baby

If he's the reason that you’re leaving me tonight

Spare me what you think and tell me a lie

Tell me a lie!

Tell me a lie!

Tell me a lie!

Tell me a lie!”

That’s the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done.  I’m never doing that again.  I practically run offstage and cling to Winter.  I just looked at Arella the whole time because she’s the only person I knew in the audience.  I swear, I’d rather die than do that again.  Nothing in the world could make me go up there again.  Not even Zayn.  I hated that.
