I Depend On You ~Zach Herron~

60

Iris's P. O. V.

"I'm so excited for you guys," Kayla said standing up from the couch.

"Don't worry, we don't go to Paris until June and you'll be out of school so you can come with us," I reminded her.

"If my mom will let me, and if I don't have rehearsals." She sighed.

"Your mom will let you, and I'm sure you could get out of rehearsals for like a week. You have to come to Paris."

"It's the city of love," Daniel added pouting his lips. She walked over to him and kissed him.

"I'll make it work," she said. "But for now, I have to go back home. My flight leaves soon."

"Daniel and I will take you," I told her. She hugged the other guys and went to Daniel's room to grab all of her stuff.

"I wish she didn't have to leave."

"I know, but she's still in school," I said recalling their slight age difference.

"Not for long, though." He breathed out.

She came back downstairs with her bag, but Daniel took it out of her hands.

I drove to the airport, and Kayla sat in the back seat leaning her head on Daniels shoulder while holding his hand. It made me sad, and I remembered each time I had to leave Zach.

We got to the airport with just enough time for Kayla. She hugged me goodbye and thanked me for giving her the idea to come. I told her I'd see her soon, before gently pushing her to Daniel.

They hugged and kissed and probably said something about missing each other terribly. Daniel grabbed her face and kissed her again, just as a tear rolled down Kayla's face.

Daniel came closer to me and I gave him a side hug as we watched Kayla walk away.

"You guys ready?" David asked. The six of us looked around making sure we had all of our bags and everything else we needed for the two month trip around the world.

"Let's go!" Meghan shouted when we all nodded our heads.

We went out to the two cars that would drive us to the airport.

"I can't believe we're going to Mexico," I told Zach when I sat next to him.

"I still feel like this isn't real."

We drove to the airport and met some fans before going through security and all that. We stopped in Starbucks, after ten minutes of Jonah's whining, and all got drinks.

Our flight was called and we all made our way to the gate. We found our seats and got settled before the plane took off.

Zach and I both had our headphones in, and we were probably listening to the same music. He took my hand in his, kissed me, and then I rested my head on his shoulder. Eventually, we both fell asleep for the whole three hour flight.

The airport in Mexico was insane. There were tons and tons of fans waiting, holding up signs with all of our names on them. They screamed incredibly loud when we walked up to them and gave them hugs and stuff.

We left the airport and drove to the hotel we'd be staying at.

"How many rooms did we get?" Jonah asked.

"Four. Meghan gets one, I get one, and you guys can figure the rest out. There's one room with two beds and another with just one."

"I think Iris and I should get our own room," Zach said.

"Yeah, and please give us the room farthest from them. I want to be able to sleep at night," Daniel said making me blush.

"Maybe I'll give Jack and Iris their own room to make sure nothing happens with Zach and Iris," David said.

"No, nothings gonna happen. I promise," I said.

"What? You don't wanna share a bed with me? Just like old times, remember?"

"Yeah I remember. And I don't wanna do it again," I said. He put his hand to his chest, acting very offended.

"Haha." Zach laughed.

"I honestly don't care, just don't fight about it." David waved us off.

We arrived at the hotel and went up to our rooms. It turns out the boys room was attached to Zach and I's by a door in the middle.

"I am so tired." I plopped on the bed.

"You slept for three hours on the plane." Zach laughed.

"Yeah, but I'm still tired."

"You can't be tired, we're all going to dinner in a few hours." He plopped down next to me.

"I'll only go because I want food."

"Of course." He laughed. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer, before kissing my cheek.

I rested my head on his chest and listened to the calming beat of his heart. I began to doze off, but didn't realize I had fallen asleep until someone was shaking me awake.

"Are you guys coming?" Daniel asked.

"Hm? Oh, right. Yeah sorry, we fell asleep." I sat up. Daniel walked out of the room. I ran a hand through my hair.

"Do we have to go?" Zach whined sitting up, but resting his head on my shoulder.

"You're the one who told me I had to go," I said.

"I changed my mind. Let's stay here and cuddle," he said kissing my neck.

"No, we're all going as a family," I told him.

"Fine, but when we get back home, you're cuddling with me all night."

"What else would I do?"
