Ava's P.O.V 

I could feel myself slowly waking as the van come to a halt, not wanting to move just yet I keep my eyes closed until I hear Joe's voice ringing through the van. When I did hear Joes voice echoing through the silence telling us we have arrived at the hotel, I attempt to get up letting go of what I thought was a pillow. However a weight across my stomach which was giving me warmth throughout the journey was stopping me from sitting up right. I open my eyes to see that Tristan's left arm is on my back wrapped around my waist, while his right arm gently rested over my stomach with his hand over my hip. My eyes suddenly widened at the sight as I felt warmth creep into my face, surely leaving me with a scarlet coloured cheeks. 

I look up to see that James is smirking at me, knowing that I am embarrassed. As much as I like Tristan, I am not used to physical contact with the opposite gender. One by one the boys slowly started waking up, when Tristan's eyes opened I expected him to suddenly move away from me, however he did not. Tristan lifted his right arm and ruffled his hair, leaving his left arm around my waist, I looked up at him with a confused expression on my face. When he finally noticed me looking at him, he turned his head slightly towards me then tilted it down so our eyes were perfectly aligned. The corner of his lips curved upwards forming a large smile on his face, his grip on my waist tightened reminding me that this was all real.  

I smiled shyly at Tristan before looking towards Sky who was still asleep, bloody hell this girl could sleep for England. I chuckled to myself before speaking up, "So who's gonna wake Sky up then? because I'm definitely not doing it." knowing fine well that  Sky can be rather grumpy if she hasn't had enough sleep. "If she's anything like how Brad is when we wake him. I'm not doing it!" James exclaimed. Tristan was too far away to wake her up which left Connor and Brad, I looked down to Connor who was closest to Sky. "Nu-uh no way." Connor said rather quickly. Which left Brad who hadn't said anything yet, before Brad could say no James piped up "Hey Brad, guess it's you waking sleeping beauty up then." sending Brad a cheeky wink before hopping out of the van. Brad still didn't say anything and just watched as the rest of us tumbled out of the van, Tristan kept a firm grip on me as I almost stumbled over as I stepped out the door. "Are you alright?" His low voice whispered softly, his lips ever so slightly grazing my ear enough to send shiver down my spine, making goose bumps appear on my skin. My breathe hitched in my throat and I was almost unable to reply to him, however I managed to put together some form of a sentence saying that I was fine.  

Instead of following the guys straight into the hotel I let Tristan know that I would wait by the van for Sky, at first he didn't want to leave me which I found rather cute, but I insisted that I would be fine and he ended up following Connor and James. I stood to the side of the van door enough to hide myself from Brad and Sky but enough to be able to peer inside and see what was going on. Brad was now sitting next to a sleeping Sky rather than being opposite her, he hadn't made any gesture to wake Sky up which left me puzzled, but I guess he was figuring out a way to wake her up with out leaving her grumpy. I watched as he lifted his hand and tucked a stray piece of her golden blonde hair behind her ear, letting his hand linger there for a few seconds before pulling it away. I then saw him snap his head towards the door to which I automatically stepped to the side in order for him not to see me, I waited for about thirty seconds before resuming to my previous position, I silently congratulated myself for being successful in staying hidden considering how clumsy I usually am.  

Brad let out a fake cough in hope to wake Sky up, which made me chuckle quietly since Sky was one of the heaviest sleepers I knew, a bomb could go off and she still wouldn't wake up. He tried waking her in numerous ways, from poking her arm to shaking her but it still didn't work. I gasp as I see his arm go around her, fully expecting him to lift her or carry her, but no. He does the worst thing possible to wake her up, he starts tickling her and I know she isn't going to be happy about it. Not many people are able to tickle Sky, she says it just hurts when people attempt it, but some times certain people find the right place in her ribs which makes her burst into fits of laughter. It seems that Brad was one of these people, Sky woke in fits of laughter and it was actually quite amusing to watch. "What are you doing?" a low voice suddenly appeared behind me, causing me to jump back in fright. "Don't do that!" I snapped quietly at Tristan, instead of telling him what I was doing I pointed towards Sky and Brad. Tristan's face also held a confused expression at the moment that the two were sharing, considering how off they have been with each other today. "Let's just leave them to it, it's getting cold Avs." I really like the way my name sounded coming from his lips, it just felt right. With that I nodded and followed him inside, yawning softly as I entered the building to join the others.  

Skylar's P.O.V 

I suddenly felt somebody's hands poking into my sides, I expected it to hurt me but a giggle escaped my lips. I squeezed my eyes closed tighter not wanting to wake up yet, however the person who was trying to wake me continued to tickle me, instead of opening my eyes I just attempted to swat their hands away from me. I opened my eyes when I realized that the person wasn't going to stop, when I saw who it was I gasped and sat upright in my seat. "Erm, the uh... guys and Ava have already gone in." Brad whispered as he noticed I had opened my eyes, he then stood up and exited the van without looking back, wow that was rude. I picked up my phone and left the van remembering to shut the door behind me, the cold wind suddenly hit me making me lift my arms to hug my body tightly attempting to warm myself up on the short walk to the hotel doors.  

As I walked in the doors everyone's heads snap towards my direction, I looked down as I made my way towards them. When I do look up Ava and Tristan are giving me a look of concern as if they know, as if they know what just went on and how I feel, but they couldn't possibly because I just feel like rubbish.  

I just don't get it, I don't get him. One minute he's tickling me to wake me up, he's smirking down at me as I swat his hands away, and then the next he's practically running away from me as if I have some sort of disease. I just have no idea what I had done wrong, what could I have possibly done to make him act like this with me, I am so confused right now I just don't know what to do. I get interrupted from my thoughts by Joe "So you finally decided to wake up then?" He chuckles but right now I'm not in the mood so I just shrug my shoulder hoping that no one would notice the way I was acting.
