"I call a top bunk!"

"Me too!"

"No, wait, I wanted a top bunk!"

"Whoever gets to it first gets a top bunk!"

"Hey, what about me!" I laugh as I follow the four boys into our new home; a large tour bus.

"Looks like we got stuck with the bottom bunks." Luke pointed out to me as we looked at Michael, Calum, and Ashton had already settled in on the top of the three pairs of bunks in the bus.

I swiftly swung my bag onto the bottom bunk next to Luke's and leaning down as I took out my phone. "Ow!" I called out as I bumped the back of my head against the bunk on top of mine. "I better get used to this." I chuckled softly as I rubbed the back of my head.

"What happened to ladies first, huh?" I joked as I raised an eyebrow at the three boys on the top bunks.

"It didn't...?" Ashton shrugged, laughing it off before he stepped down from the top bunk. "Let's check the rest of this place out." Ashton murmured as he sauntered down the narrow hallway between the bunks as we followed him.

"What's this?" Calum mused as he pressed a button on a small keypad by what looked to be a mirror.

"Whoa..." Luke breathed out as what looked to be a wall, shifted to the side to reveal a small bathroom.

"How about this?" Ashton asked as he pressed the next button.

"Is this heaven?" Michael said softly as the mirror in front of us slid to the side, disappearing into the wall. In what was the hidden room was revealed to be a lounge room with a large sectional couch and a TV. A dvd player and xbox stood under the TV along with many remotes to go to the multiple pieces of technology lining the room.

"Yes this is heaven." Ashton agreed as he sat down on the couch along with the other boys.

"Seriously, you guys have to take up all of the couch?" I put my hands on my hips.

"Aw, is little Miss Popstar angry she doesn't have a whole couch just for herself?" Calum joked.

"You know I'm not like that." I said, smacking his leg lightly. "Move over."

"No." Calum shook his head, sticking his tongue out at me.

"Luke?" I asked, pouting out my lip.

"Nope." He shook his head also. I watched as Calum caught Luke's eye and a few seconds later, they're arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me onto the couch so that I fell back onto their laps.

"Looks like you guys figured everything out..." Lou chuckled as she stood at the doorway of the lounge. "We're not going to have any problems, right, with Lauren being on the same bus?" She placed her hands on her hips, trying to look like she disapproved, but a small smile still danced on her lips.

"Not at all, sorry." I blushed as I quickly scrambled off of Luke and Calum.

"Come on, we have dinner set up for everyone to celebrate the first day of tour starting tomorrow." Lou explained before exiting the room.

The boys followed me as we quickly followed Lou out of the tour bus and towards the arena. We entered the large vicinity and followed Lou closely as she weaved through the many halls until we entered a large back room where long tables were set up with plenty of pizza boxes to feed an army practically.

I picked up a paper plate and filled my plate with two pieces of pizza before sitting down next to Niall at one of the tables. "How are the living arrangements working for you?" Niall asked, bumping my shoulder with his. "If those boys are going to give you any problems, we can always manage for you to move onto our bus. We can make Josh sleep on the floor."

"Hey, if we're going to make anyone sleep on the floor it's going to be Harry." Josh called out as he sat down next to me.

"That won't be necessary, Ni. I think it should work out." I chuckled. "As long as the boys don't hog everything..." I raised an eyebrow as Luke and Ashton sat down at the table across from us.

"We won't if you won't." Ashton laughed before taking a bite of pizza.

"Oh sorry!" I quickly apologized as I accidently kicked Luke's foot under the table.

"Luke, playing footsie with the Lauren Shepherd? You sly dog!" Calum joked, feigning an american accent as he sat sat down next to Luke. Luke and I blushed at the comment but I quickly shook it off as Niall's lips moved to my ear.

"You remember what we talked about before right?" Niall whispered into my ear, just barely loud enough for me to hear.

I nodded, clenching my jaw together as I replayed this morning's conversation in my head. My eyebrows furrowed together unconciously as I thought everything through.

"You alright?" Luke asked me.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine." I smiled, before taking another bite of pizza.
