Wrong Number// Zach Herron

Chapter 18

Laken's POV

          Zach and Jack are shaking me awake. When I finally open my eyes Zach smiles at me. I groan and sit up. " Look," Zach says," We're landing." I look out the window and see the plane leveling out and getting ready to land. I sigh and rub my eyes. " Sleep Laken," Jack jokes. I scoff as I yawn. I take my phone out of my pocket and look at the time. It's almost ten o' clock. 

          The plane finally lands and I grab my carry on. " Jack you walk way to slow," I complain, while we're getting off the plane. " It's not my fault, Corbyn won't pick up his damn feet," Jack argues, laughing. Corbyn adds in," It's not me, It's Daniel." Daniel shoots Corbyn a look then looks back at me," It's Jonah." Zach groans," Can you all just walk! I'm tired!" The boys give him a look before continuing to walk forward. After what felt like forever, we were off the plane and entering the gate. " I feel like I was just at an airport," I sigh. " Because you were, like a week ago," Zach jokes, grabbing my bags off the luggage carousal. We start walking to the exit but we are stopped by a large group of the limelights. I smile at the boys as they take photos with the fans. I'm watching Zach take a photo with a girl who looks no older than 6 when I here my name called. I turn back and see a girl waving me over. She looks to be close to my age, 15 or 16. I walk over to her. " Hi!" I smile. I give her a hug. " Hey! You're so pretty! Can we take a photo?" She asks. I nod and she hands me her phone. I squeeze close to her and take a photo. " You're stunning! I wish I looked like you," She compliments. " Oh my gosh, no you're beautiful. You're perfect just the way you are. Don't change, okay?" I say. She smiles and nods while I pull her into a hug. I wave by to her and walk back over to my stuff. The guys and I start making our way through the crowd and out to the Uber we have waiting for us. " Look at what one of the limelights gave me," Jonah says, slipping on a tiny hand on his finger. We all laugh as him and Corbyn finger fight. " Ya'll the cutest thing happened," I start, Jack, Daniel, and Zach look over at me while Corbyn and Jonah's finger fight continues," This one girl made me almost cry, she was talking about how she wanted to look like me but she was so pretty, it made me wanna cry." Zach grabs my hand and intertwines out fingers," Get used to it. There will be a lot more girls where that came from." I smile at the thought of m new life. " And guys," Jack and Daniel add. They start laughing and Zach leans back a little. " You okay?" I whisper to him. He nods and smiles at me.

          We reach the hotel and talk about sleeping arrangements. Daniel and Jack, Corbyn and Jonah, and they told Zach and I we can stay in the same room, on one condition. " Nothing happens," Daniel fusses. I roll my eyes," Nothing will happen! We'll be in two different beds and it's not like we haven't slept in the same bed before," I respond, annoyed. I quickly correct myself when Jack and Corbyn start laughing," That came out wrong." We all start laughing then Daniel gets all serious again," I mean it! No canoodling!" I mock him and put up the girl scout hand," Girl scouts honor." I smile and laugh. " Good night guys," I say laughing, walking into the hotel room with Zach. The boys respond with an assortment of goodnight's. I walk in and flop on the bed. " I'm going to sleep!" I say aloud. Zach laughs at me.

Zach's POV

          I laugh at Laken as she rolls over and stands back up. " I'm gonna go take my makeup off," she says walking into the bathroom. I nod at her and walk over to the other bed. I change from my jeans to the flannels Laken likes to make fun of, and I put on the sleeveless white shirt and jump back on my bed. After a few minutes Laken walks out of the bathroom where one of my t-shirts and a pair of shorts, with no makeup on. " Gorgeous," I laugh. She smiles and starts to sarcastically do modeling poses. She lays on the other bed and looks over at me. I shoot her a look and she laughs before walking over and laying with me. " You need to go to sleep," She whispers. " Yeah yeah," I laugh. " Good night, beautiful," I say before closing my eyes. " Good night."

The next day

          I wake up around 9 and Laken is already sitting in the bathroom doing her makeup. " When did you get up?" I ask, rubbing my eyes and walking into the bathroom. " Like an hour ago, I got dressed, did my hair, went and sat with the guys for a little, and now I'm doing my makeup," she says, stopping for a second," Go get dressed." I sluggishly walk back to my suitcase and change into my clothes for the day. " Where is my hair gel?" I shout, looking through my back. " In here," Laken responds. I walk in there and do my hair while she finishes up her makeup. We finally finish at about 10 o' clock. " Okay let's go," Laken says, starting to walk towards the door. " But nobody has called yet," I say. " If they call then you're late," She says handing me my phone and motioning out the door. I walk out and she closes the door behind her. We head down stairs and meet the boys. " It's about time," Daniel says, laughing. We all walk out and get into a black van to head to the venue for sound check. 

          When we get there we all head on stage and start skimming over the set, and doing a mic check. Laken is dancing along to us on the side, almost mocking us. After we finish sound check the guys and I get changed into our first outfit for the show. We all go and sit in the backstage lounge area, waiting for closer for the time for the show to start. Finally Randy comes in and tells us we have to get on. " Good luck, even though you don't need it," Laken charms, hugging me. She hugs Jack," Good luck noodles." I roll my eyes and walk out on stage and get into my place. Then the lights come up...
