I wake up to yelling. I sit up and pull the covers off me. I shiver at the sudden cool air and get up. I follow the noise thats coming from the front of the bus.

"I wanted that cereal!" someone yelled.

"I got it first Mike." I walk into a booth and sit next to Calum. He hugs me from the side and ask me,

"How did you sleep babe?" he asks sort of whispering.

"Pretty good! How about you?" I asked back. I chuckled at Mike and Ashton. Ashton's hair is absolutely wild.

"I slept ok. I spent all that time from when I went into bed to when I fell asleep thinking about someone."

"Oh." I reply. Thats a long time to be thinking about someone. So either Calum is really worried about them or really likes them.

"Yeah. But it's fine." He reassures me.

"Ok. Why are they arguing?" I ask putting my head on his shoulder.

"Mikey wanted the Cap'n Crunch but Ashton got it first, he informs me.

"So Mike is pissed." I chuckle. These boys are arguing over something simple.

"Hey Mikey, do you want me to make you something? Like eggs and sausage or something of that sort?" I ask the bickering boy.

"Yeah! I love eggs and sausage," he says with a giant smile on his face. "Plus, I haven't had any for a while so that would be lovely!"

~~~~~~

"Thanks for breakfast babe." Ashton says while hugging me from behind.

"Its no problem. Definitely don't mind doing it again. I love cooking." I exclaim.

"Hey we are going to go to the arena." Luke says.

"Okay. I gotta go change then." I reply with Ashton resting his head on my shoulder. I just realised im pretty close to his height. He is 5'11" I've heard. If that is true, I am 3 inches shorter than him. I slip out of Ashton's grip and find my suitcase. I dig through and find my clothes and shoes. I throw them all on my bed and search until I find something I am satisfied with.* I throw my hair up in a messy bun, brush my teeth and do some quick, natural makeup.

I head into the front of the bus where Ashton was sitting looking outside. I go up to him and notice he looks sad.

"Hey. Whats wrong?" I ask.

"What do you do," he sniffles and continues, "I don't even know anymore.." I frown and take his hand in mine. I begin to fumble with his fingers.

"Makaela, what do you do when you love somebody a lot but you feel as if they don't love you back?" He turns and looks at me.

"Well I believe that unless you know that they love you, you don't deserve them. Find someone that you know for sure loves you. But why? What's going on?"

"See, I have a girlfriend. Her name is Lauren and she is super pretty. We've been dating for a few months now but she has been mean to the fans and sorta bossy to me. Saying that since I'm a bit famous now and have more money I should be able to buy her more expensive stuff and I should also want to." he says with his head down.

"Ash, I don't wanna sound harsh but dump her. A real girl shouldn't care if you buy her expensive stuff or not. She should be satisfied with the fact that you love her. Not that you're rich and all that. You're still a normal teenager just living with slightly extreme conditions. And just saying, you're amazing." I smile at him.

"I want to but I still really like her." he confesses.

"You could have anybody you want, but you're picking to stay with a girl who treats you like you're a doormat?"

"I don't know." he says as he sighs.

"Ok. Just be wise about it all. I don't want to see you hurt." I whisper. He smiles and kisses my nose. I smile back.

"I will. I promise." he says.

~~~~~~

Ashton and I find the dressing room that 5SOS was assigned to and enter. "Gee what took you guys so long?" Michael says with a smirk.

"I'm a girl. I have a lot to worry about" I say with a bit of sass "Plus Ashton had a bit of a moment." I say looking at him.

"What kind of moment?" Mike asks. Seems as if hes the only one who has acknowledged mine and Ash's presence.

"Relationship problems." Ashton blurted before I could say anything. I nodded. "C'mon Kaela. I have something to show you." He said as he took my hand and pulled me out of the room.

I look at where Ashton was taking me and not recognising any of it. As we kept going, it got darker. I stopped as I was becoming scared.

"Come on, babe. Trust me on this. Please just keep following me?" he begs. I give in and begin to follow him again. This time he holds me close to him. His bare arms wrapped around my shoulders and his other hand in mine.

I have always been scared of the dark because when I was little, my dad would always beat me. But it was in the dark so I would never know what was coming. I was honestly terrified something bad or painful was going to happen to me and Ashton was just leading me towards it.

"Ashton," I whimper.

"Babe, you're fine. Don't worry. We are almost there." he says. That honestly calmed me down a bit.

After a few more minutes of walking, taking a few pit-stops so Ashton could reassure me again and tell me everything is fine, we made it.

"I'm sorry for taking you that way. I didnt know you would have reacted that way. Im so sorry Kaela." Ashton apologises. I was actually crying from the little trek we took. He noticed and hugged me tight. "Im so sorry.." he softly whispers again.

"Its absolutely fine. I just have a bad past with the dark. But you're fine." I tell him. He nods.

"But anyways, this is what I wanted to show you." He says as he guides me up some stairs. I become speechless. This is amazing.

"Pretty wicked, yeah?" He asks with a massive smile on his face. I nod and continue to stare in amazement.
