Chapter 17~ European Tour

AN: Trigger warning - Melanie's past is brought back up. Just thought I'd warn you incase anyone has done or thought of doing any of the things she says. Please read with caution!!!!

Melanie's P.O.V.

The lads and I are on the tour bus, heading to Cardiff, which is where the beginning of the European leg of the tour starts. We're all scattered around the bus, I'm in the back with my sketchbook, and earbuds in. Niall's sleeping in his bunk, I think, Louis & Harry are probably cuddling somewhere on the bus and Liam's doing whatever it is that Liam's do.

I'm listening to Beyoncé's playlist that I made a while ago and currently listening to Partition. I'm sketching a picture of Perrie because she's gorgeous (photo above....I photoshopped it a while ago so that's my edit. If you want to use it, please tell me don't just take it and claim that it's yours. please and thank you). After I'm finished sketching this picture of Perrie, I'm gonna look for a picture of Jade to sketch. Run The World (Girls) plays next and I smile widely because it's such an upbeat song and very empowering. I hum along as I continue to work on my sketch of Pez. I'm so much into own world that I don't realize when I start singing or when the lads record me. I look over what I have so far which is an outline of her. I start working on her face, setting her eyes, nose and mouth. Then I add her jaw line and cheekbones, as well as her hair. My hand drifts around the page and my hair falls into my face multiple times, which causes me to flip my head so it's outta my face. I pick up my phone and change over to my Demi Lovato playlist. Once again I hit shuffle and "Without Love" plays.

"And you work so hard to get me just to let me go

Yeah, you put me in the spotlight just to steal the show

And you try to take me home like you're DiMaggio

Oh (oh, oh) it's such a joke

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are you singing me love songs?

What good is a love song?

What good is a love song without the love?

Why are we acting like lovers?

We don't know each other

Even though we used to rule the world

Why are you singing me love songs

What good is a love song

A love song without the love

You're so confused its getting old

You wear your ring but leave me cold

You're beautiful but cause me pain

You played my heart like it's a game"

I sing softly and let out a heavy sigh, a small frown finding its place on my face. Things with Josh just aren't working out because he's in the states and I'm on the road all the time. He's always busy and ignores me and won't tell me what I did. He's just so confusing.

My phone vibrates signaling that I have a text message. My heart jumps at the noise and I grab my phone so fast that I pull out one of my ear buds. It's from Josh.
