I love long journeys. Particularly because I love popping my earphones in, listening to music and looking out the window pretending that I'm in a music video. I'm not weird... well, not that weird. You've done it once or twice in your life time, don't lie to me. Anyway, so here I am listening to a random One Direction song that Harvey forced me to listen to, I may have sneakily added it to my playlist when he left, I'm looking out the window in a day dream. I'm imaging myself in a music video, that is until I felt a sharp poke on my shoulder. I ignore it, hoping it was just my imagination, but then it happens again, and again, again. I knew right from the start that it was a bad idea to sit next to Brook. I groan inwardly to myself, I was just enjoying the peace.

I turn to look at Brook, who had a wide smile across his face. "Yes Brook" I groan.
"I'm bored" he states. I glare at him with frustration in my eyes. His smile stayed.
"Brooklyn. You know not to wake Mr Cranky Pants up from one of his daydreams" Andy laughs. I lean over to whack him in the back of the head, but he moves out the way, causing me to hit my hand on the chair in front.
"Ow! Omg Andy!" I complain.
"Want my fault" he laughs again. I huff to my self as Andy and Brook laugh together.

All of a sudden Liv appears over the top of the seat in front of me.
"What are you boys screaming about?" She asks us, a smile reaching her eyes.
"Mikey is just complaining because we woke him up from his day dream" Andy turns to me trying to pinch my cheeks. I Flick his hands away, causing laughter to erupt from Liv's mouth. I felt a swell of pride gush through me at the sight, a triumphant smile appearing on my face. She turns to look at me, smile wide and laughter in her eyes; it really was a beautiful site. I smile at her widely, a little chuckle coming from my lips. Liv turns back round to sit down again. I turn to, again, look out the window, One Direction playing in my ear.

Some hours later, we arrive in Liverpool. Most of the boys are asleep, but slowly waking up as they notice the car stopping. The only one that doesn't wake up is Mikey. He's asleep, leant forward with his head on the seat in front, with his mouth wide open. I couldn't help but laugh. But to be honest, I find it quite cute, but I'm just gonna forget that I said that.

"Brook wake him up" Andy instructs. Brooklyn walks up to Mikey and begins stoking his face. Me and Sam turn to each other laughing. He then continues to rub his hair, he then goes to hug him; but suddenly jumps on him, cause Mikey to wake with a start, a loud scream coming from his mouth. He turns round to look at Brook, he looks mad. Me, Sam and the rest of the boys snicker as we watch the scene unfold.
"Brooklyn!"
"Oops" Brook laughs. He runs to hide behind me as Mikey gets out of the car. He races towards me, quickly charging around me to chase  Brook. Brooklyn runs behind Andy, cowering away like a small child, giggles escaping his lips. I laugh out loud, the boys turning to look at me. I cover my hand over my mouth, small laughs still shooting out of my mouth uncomfortably.

"Ok Boys! That's enough!" Jack laughs. He comes over to me, swinging one arm over my shoulder. Mikey stops chasing Brook, moving to the back of the car to get his bags. The rest of the boys follow on, each grabbing there bags from the boot. Once they begin to move towards the hotel doors, me and Sam pull our cases from the back and work together to shut the door.

We all gather in the lobby as Rye collects everyone's keys. I see Jack sat on the sofa against the back wall. I stagger towards him, only just realising how tired I am; I always struggle to sleep in cars, I drop down next to Jack, my head falling on his shoulder.
"You ok?" He asks.
"I'm so tired" I mumble.
"Oh yeah, forgot you can't sleep in cars" he said, putting an arm around my shoulders. He pulls me closer into his warm embrace, my body fully at rest. We used to do this every Saturday night. We would cuddle on the couch watching a movie; people would say that, that is weird behaviour for two people who are just friends, but Jack and I don't care.

As I let the warmth flow through me, I can slowly feel my eyes growing heavier and heavier. I allowed my body to relax fully, just about to let sleep take over. But then I hear Jack say something into my ear.
"We are gonna stay down here for a bit and get some drinks, you sleep" I nod against his shoulder, letting sleep consume me.

She looked so beautiful when she slept, so at peace. Every now and again I would sneak quick glances at her, trying not to make it obvious that I was staring. I sipped on my water as I relaxed back into the sofa, Andy and Rye to my side. Sam and Brook were on the sofa next to us, Jack and Liv on the one across.

After half an hour we all decided that we were tired and needed to go to sleep. Andy and Rye made their way upstairs, mumbling their goodnights. Brook stood up, along with Sam, ready to head up to his room with Jack; but Liv was still asleep on his shoulder. He couldn't get up without waking her.
"Just wake her up" Brook tells Jack, reaching out a hand to shake Liv. Jack hits his hand away, glaring at him.
"Don't do that! She struggles getting to sleep normally, don't wake her up now." He whispers, looking down at the beauty in his arms.
"I'll take her" I say. "I mean, my room is the closest to hers and Sam needs to get the bags and everything" Jack nods. I reach down, tucking my arms under her knees and shoulders. Sam grabs their bags, and then we make our way upstairs. Their room is on the first floor; meaning i didn't have to carry Liv very far. Once we got to the room Sam let me in, throwing the bags on the floor. I place Liv on the bed in the far corner, closest to the window.
"Thank you" Sam whispers.
"No problem" I smile at her as I make my way out the door.
"Mikey?" I turn back to face Sam.
"I see the way you look her. Just know that any boys that ever dares to hurt her, will have to hear from me" she threatens. I gulp and nod, making my way out the room. Tomorrow is going to be a good day...
