Drumsticks and Bass Guitars (5SOS)

21- Every Rose Has Its Thorns...

"What do we do? Wake her up?" I hear Luke's voice ask. It was silent then I was lifted into someone's arms bridal style and they started walking. The persons cologne fills my nostrils, It wasn't too long before I knew it was Ashton. I kept my eyes closed as I felt the dry tears I didn't remember crying on my face. I hate it that I still have feelings for him, I wish I could hate him but I can't get myself to agree to that. I know I should but I just can't. I felt his body tense as I rested my head on his chest pretending to be asleep still, he took a deep breath and I felt his gaze fall on me. Honestly, my head still hurt from that shoe a fan threw at me... God, what is wrong with some people?! His pace picked up then he stepped onto the bus, I felt the boys' eyes on me.

"Why is she wearing all of those bracelets?" I hear Calum question quietly as Ashton set me on the couch and I cuddled into it. I heard footsteps coming towards me and I tried not to move.

"I'm not sure..." Luke says breathlessly.

"She usually never wears that many"Michael says agreeing.

"Let's just leave her be..." Ashton says and I hear pairs of footsteps walk away but I still felt someone's presence. I heard a sigh before someone pressed their lips to my forehead, then they rubbed their thumb over the bump that formed from the shoe. The hand pulls away and footsteps quietly trail out of the room leaving me after I hear the click of the lights turn off. I roll over falling into a deep sleep with a smile on my face.

Waking up to pans hitting together isn't a good thing. I opened my eyes and I was in the hotel room once again. I swing my legs off the side of the bed and standing up walking into the bathroom fixing my hair and not bothering with makeup and fixing my bracelets that still laid on my wrists from the previous night. I walked out of the bedroom and someone lifts me over their shoulders and I giggle as they sit me on the chair in the small hotel kitchen.

"What would you like madam? Sir Michael at your service" he bows at me and I smile letting out my laughter.

"I'm ok Michael, have you all eaten already?" I ask changing the subject.

"We already ate... Are you sure you don't want anything before we leave for the interview?" Luke asks furrowing his eyebrows together looking at me tilting his head slightly to the right. I send him a smile before nodding and walking back into the bedroom putting on some jeans and a tee shirt. I walked out at we all hopped onto the bus and drove off to the interview.

I finished with hair and makeup, I was wearing a white lace dress with a red belt. I sat on the far end of the couch and everyone else sat in this order Luke, Michael, Calum and lastly Ashton. The interview started with no questions in regards to me until I heard my name.

"So Hannah, how's it going with you and Ashton?" The interviewer asks me smirking, my smile fades quickly as he asked that.

"We, uh, aren't together anymore" Ashton replies quietly before I could looking down at the floor.

"And Hannah, what do you think about it? Are you okay with the break up?" He asks looking at me closely.

"All I can say about it is that Every Rose Has It's Thorns." I say giving him a weak smile, he returns a sympathetic one to me before opening his mouth again to speak.

"I see, and would you mind me asking why you broke up." He says, I see the four of the guys stiffen at the sudden question.

"We just thought it would be easier because of his career..." I lie. I lied straight through my teeth. I notice everyone loosen up after that and I played with my bracelets nervously, I had an argument about wearing them with the wardrobe girl but I won anyway.

"Love, the interview is over" Luke chuckled from beside me and I got up and walked away changing back into my clothes then walking with the other guys onto the bus. I looked at my phone before sitting on the couch, it was around twelve thirty so the complaints of being hungry began just then. I impatiently tapped my foot on the ground waiting to get off the bus.

"FOOOOOOOOOOD" the boys yell jogging off the bus. Thank god no fans were here. I trudged into the hotel room crashing on the couch as the guys rummaged around the kitchen like idiots for something to eat. I was really hungry but I didn't care. I just sat there after turning on the tv.

"Here Hannah I made you a sandwich!" One of them called. I sighed getting up, I didn't want to but they would question me sooner or later... I mean they haven't seen me eat in about 2 days... I shared the seat with Luke, which was next to Ashton. I was still most comfortable with Luke, I trust him the most anyway. I starred at the sandwich in front of me as the others devoured theirs. I felt someone's gaze on me I slowly looked up looking at each boy, then I met Ashton's gaze and I looked away quickly. I breathed out taking a single bite of the sandwich then placing it back on the plate. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Ashton still watching me intently, I got nervous that he had caught on to me so I took another small bite.

I saw everyone finished and I wanted to get away from this as soon as possible so I took the guys plates and placed mine on the top then throwing them away in the trash.

"So what else are we doing today?" I ask smiling and leaning back onto the counter.

"Actually nothing... But tomorrow we have a show in Florida. So a bit of a drive." Calum explains. Right at the moment we are in Georgia so it's not too far. I nod and noticed ashton had started whispering to Luke but I just grabbed a water from the fridge and walked away sitting on the couch yet again. I grabbed my phone opening my YouTube and scrolling through the comments of the video me and Luke did together. Most of them were good but others weren't... I exited out and opened twitter and looking at my mentions. Hate, hate, hate,.... I don't really understand how someone could say things like this to me, or anyone that they have never even spoken a word to. Like 'go kill yourself, your only wasting air that someone else needs.' Or 'have you stopped eating yet because I surely would suggest it'. Just things like that dig me deeper into the hole. But the fans that say nice things I always try to follow and support.
