Paper Moon

Chapter 26

(Edited)
The day after my night talk with Josh I slept as much as possible. By as much as possible I mean 'I am living with lots of guys who don't know the concept of being quiet, or how to leave sleeping people alone.' This is pretty much how it went.

"Halo!!! Get up let's go do something!!!" Jack jumped on the bed and I groaned. "Jack can I just sleep? I'm really tired" I mumbled into the pillow. "But-" "Jack I think Halo should sleep, she's had a tiering night." Josh came to my rescue and I was greatful. I ended up falling asleep again.

The next time I woke up was due to the fact that Brendon was being loud. "Brendon shut the hell up she's asleep" Dallon violently attempted to whisper. "We have to wake her up anyway! Halo wake up!! We have food!" Brendon shook me 'awake' but I was already awake because of them. "I'm not hungry." I closed my eyes again and tried to fall back asleep but was picked up out of bed.

"Brendon please, I just wanna sleep" I barely managed to mumble to him. "Kiddo you've sleep all day, it's 4:30, you should probably eat something." I groaned and tried to keep my eyes open but failed and ended up falling asleep on Brendon.

I woke on my own the next time. It was 7:50. "Hey baby girl, you awake yet or are you gonna go back to sleep?" Alex was sitting in bed next to me. I sat up and stretched. "Imma go back to sleep." "Wait Halo, we're leaving tomorrow so are you gonna pack? Or do you want someone to pack for you?" I shrugged and cuddled up to him. "Can I *yawn* do it in the morning?" I asked looking up at him. "Sure, and there's food for you if your hungry" I nodded and closed my eyes. I fell asleep as Alex ran his fingers through my hair.

I woke up to Alex shaking me. "Hey Halo, get dressed, take a shower if you want, you need to pack. We're leaving soon. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. "Ok" I mumbled.

I debated going back to sleep. No, I have to get ready. I forced myself out of bed and started to pack my stuff. I left out a pair of socks, underwear, an All Time Low tank top, black sweats, and my Drop Sweater. "Okay all my stuff is packed, imma take a shower" I mumbled to myself. I grabbed the stuff I left out and went to take a shower.

On the way I bumped into Rian who was in our room for some reason. "Hey Halo, are you packed?" I nodded my head and smiled at him. "Good job, do you want me to take it to the bus?" I nodded and thanked him.

"Hey Rian do me a favor?" "Sure" "get me out in about fifteen? I'm taking a quick shower" Rian nodded and grabbed my suitcase. "Thanks Ri Ri, love ya" I said as I walked into the bathroom.

I was blow drying my hair when there was a knock on the door. I turned off the blow dryer, "come in!" The door opened slightly and Zack pocked his head in, "ready kiddo?" I looked in the mirror and felt my hair.

"Yup! Just let me brush my hair" I said grabbing my brush. I brushed it then pushed my hair to the side. "Zack do me a favor!" Zack walked back to the bathroom. "Yeah?" I held up my neckless. He took it and put it in me. "Thanks Zack! Okay we can go now" I grabbed my brush and we went to the bus where everyone was waiting.

"We're gonna be going now" Gerard spoke up as he got up from his position of leaning on the bus. "I'm gonna miss you guys!!" I wrapped my arms around Gee as he held me close.

"Gee?" He looked down at me, "yes princess?" "Have you been eating?" I asked quietly. He looked worried but then quickly smiled, "yes, I have. Don't worry about me okay?" He kissed my forehead and smiled at me. "Bye Halo, love you." He pulled away from the hug, "I love you too Gee, just the way you are. Remember that" he smiled and walked to the car.

"Me next!!" Frank pushed Ray out of the way and pulled me into a hug. He lifted me up and spun me around. "Ooh I'm gonna miss you squirt!!" I giggled, "Frankenstein!! I'm gonna miss you more!!" Frank put me down but wouldn't let me go. "That's not possible!! I love you more than Alex loves Jack! Or uh, oh! More than Kellin Loves Vic!!" I laughed. "Oh yeah? Well I love you more than Brendon loves Ryan!! Or Dallon!! And uh, more than Austin Loves Squidgy!!" Frank smiled. "Brendon does love Ryan, and Dallon" I smiled. "I win!!"

Frank ruffled my hair. "Bye Halo, love ya!" He hugged me a bit longer before joining Gee in the car. "Finally! Damn you guys took forever it was like you hadn't seen each other in 80 years!" I giggled, "just hug me Ray!"

I wrapped my arms around him. "Love you, you're my cupcake!" "That was once- whatever, I love you too Halo. Ray hugged me once more before also going to the car.

I looked over at Mikey who was leaned against the car. He was on his phone. "Mikey!!" He looked up and around till he spotted me. I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around him.

He was surprised. It took him a second but he soon wrapped his arms around me. "You didn't think I forgot about you right? You're just as important!! I love you lots!" Mikey smiled. "I love you too." I gave him one last hug before waving bye to them and joining everyone at the bus.
