A hug is like a scent, once you have experienced it, you will always remember it. The exact moment my dad embraced me, it all came floating back to my mind, all the family time we had back then. And all this just because a of a hug. I suddenly forgot that I was mad at him for not calling me that often or for leaving us in the first place. I was just happy to see him and be in his arms again.

"Lilly! I am so happy to see you. how have you been? How's your mom? I'm am so excited for you to live with me, hopefully we can make up some lost time" my dad now took a step back to take a look at me.

"Wow, you have grown up to be a beautiful lady."

I smiled brightly at him, I just had no control over it. I was mad, yes, but I was still super happy to see him again.

"Well, I have been good and mom too. I am too, it was just all a little bit sudden.. I would say the same thing but I think that would not be right" I giggled, I don't giggle often, I only giggle when I am like super happy.

Which actually isn't that often

"I am sorry that this happened so sudden, but your mom thought that it would be the best for now and since I am back on the road in a few days and my boss said that it would be ok if you stayed with me, it was the best idea for now"

"What do you mean with 'back on the road'?" I asked my father confused, he worked in a business building in London, well from what I had seen for now, behind it, maybe it had something to do with the 3 busses behind him.

"Well, you might have already noticed the busses behind me. I work as a bus driver but I don't drive like normal busses, i am a tourbusdriver. I am often on the road for several months. But I don't mind it and most of the time the artists I work for are pretty cool too."

He started explaining and I slowly understood what he was trying to tell me, but I couldn't live with him on a tour bus for several months and with people I didn't even know. I am not exactly someone you would call a people person, so being on a tourbus with people I didn't even know for god knows how long, was probably not something I would enjoy.

"Dad I don't think that it's a good idea for me to live with you on a tourbus. I mean did your boss even agree on this?

I don't even know the artist."

"Don't be so nervous and yes my boss agreed on this. Actually it was her idea, I asked for a few months off so you could stay with me at my place but she told me that she needed me for a job and that you could go on tour with us. And the guys are pretty cool, I have met them earlier, you'll like them. I think that they are even at your age."

He couldn't be serious, he wanted me to live on a tour bus with him and some guys I don't even know who could be total assholes and/or the cutest boys ever and I honestly didn't know what would be worse.

"Dad! Do you really think that it's a good idea? I mean I don't even know them! What if I don't like them or they me, then I'll have to live with guys I would want to choke to death for the next months or so."

"Well I hope that's not the case" a voice suddenly spoke behind me, I turned around and looked in a pair of blue eyes. I had to take a step back to take a proper look at him and I have to say that he was quite handsome. Like he really was. He had blonde hair styled in a way that was pretty unique and he was tall, well I wasn't tall myself, I was around 1.68 so everyone was pretty much taller than me, but he really was tall. He wore a red shirt and a pair of black jeans which hung loosely on his hips.

"Lilly, this is tris. He is a member of the band the vamps we will accompany for the next 4 months, he is actually the drummer of the band" my dad broke the silence that was lying over us, because I didn't really know what to say but then the words the just spoke suddenly hit me.

"Wait what? Did you just say 4 months? You mean I will have to stay with you for the next 4 months? that sounded rude. I didn't meant it to sound rude, I just, 4 months is a long time" I turned back around to face my dad and I didn't even know if I was confused or angry, probably both.

But from the person I turned my back to, Tris, suddenly irrupted loud laughter.

"Guess we'll see each other more often from now on then. I hope that we will get along since you are going to share the bus with me and the lads."

"Well er.. I don't really have a choice now do I ?" I didn't mean this to sound rude, I hope I didnt, but just in case I laughed a little at the end and smiled too.

"What do you mean you and the lads? How many other are there?" I was kind of ashamed that I didn't even knew anything about them or their band.

His lips curled up at the sides of his mouths even more now.

"3 more. Brad, Conner and James. But I guess your dad is going to introduce you properly in a few minutes. The boys are already awaiting to see the girl they are going to share a bus with"

The smirk that was on his face was somehow cute and with that and a little wave he left and went back inside the building.

"So what do you think? He is a nice guy isn't he? Well I think he is right. Come on. Let me introduce you to the rest of the boys." And with that he went of in the same direction tris went just seconds ago.

What if I didn't like them?

What if they didn't like me?

What if I liked one of them more than I should?

What if ?
