Date: December 7th

Location: Express Live! - Columbus, Ohio

When I woke up the next day my head was pounding and I desperately needed a bacon, egg and cheese on a toasted roll. Matty was fast asleep next to me, snoring but only so lightly that you could hear him if you stopped breathing yourself. He was a sight for sore eyes.

"You're up" he spoke with his eyes clothes. His ran his tongue across his lips then smirked. "Can we talk about last night?"

"It's really early Matty" i exhaled shoving my face back into the pillow.

"Okay fine, for once I'm going to look the other way. Whatever you and George are hiding is your business" he exhaled then turned his back to me.

"It's not like that Matty" I sighed sitting up a bit. "He's a dick"

"He's not, he's a dick when he knows he's right but not normally" Matty argued. He had a very valid point.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

After waking back up for the second time it was much later in the day and everyone was back from breakfast and the shower was free. It was a great time to wake up from a great sleep. Matty was up far before me and that usually never happens but sleep was much more appeasing than actually dealing with my life.

"What's there to do in Ohio exactly?" George laughed out to the room though I'm not sure anyone was paying him mind.

"So much" I smiled softly making my way towards Matty who was flipping eggs over the stove. "I have a meeting this morning but can we meet later for lunch?"

"Yes of course" he cheesed then pressed his warm lips against my temple. "Go change food is almost done"

"Okay" I blissfully smiled then walked back into the room.

Really I had a meeting but it wasn't a band meeting. It was a very personally and very private meeting. So private in fact that I wouldn't be staying in Columbus for this exact meeting. I would still be in Ohio sadly but not in the vicinity as the boys.

It was fairly cold outside but I would be indoors so I had to accommodate both temperatures. I went with dark wash jeans because dark colors are meant to keep you warm, a thick long sleeved nude sweater tucked into my jeans, thigh high black boots and shearling coat because I would be near the bay.

My bag was my Celine, my hair was straight because I couldn't bother to do much else to it besides try to tame it and makeup just wasn't for me which explained why I carried massive shades in my purse to hide my awful bags under my eyes.

"I'm leaving" I called rushing past the boys.

"You didn't even eat!" Matty growled reaching for me and successfully grabbing my elbow. "Pleas eat"

"I'm already running late" I sighed trying to pull away. "Sweet love"

"Abigail please" he pleaded, his efforts to make this bus a home were appreciated and I hated to say no but I had no choice.

"I have a protein bar and I'll pick up food, can we do dinner?" I asked with sweet eyes because they always get him.

"Will that be before or after my show?" He scoffed sounding a bit hurt.

"Whichever floats your boat, I'm sorry" I huffed then grazed his cheek with my lips before finally getting away.

As I breezed past the rest of them and off the bus I frowned to see George outside smoking with James. They stopped talking when they saw me and G just stared with these awful eyes. I was wrong and he was right and he knew he was right so he was allowed to act like this.
