Today is a pretty chill day. Most of the guys are out besides Ashton. He and I are relaxin'.

"So...How're you and Luke?" he wiggles his eyebrows at me and I blush.

"We're doing just fine for a fake couple. Why?" I ask him and he shrugs.

"Just curious," he replies.

"Tell me about Liz. How are you and her?" I ask him.

"We're really good. She loved the song," he tells me.

"That's great! She's lucky to have you, Ash, you're an awesome man," he grins.

"When are you gonna tell the boys?" I ask.

"I dunno. I'm kind of worried. But soon, I hope," he responds. "Say, when was the last time you wore a dress?"

"Er-last easter?-Yeah, last easter. Why?"

"Go put one on! Wear the knee length light blue floral one," he says.

"Did you go through my suitcase?" I ask him and raise my eyebrows.

"That isn't important. Go put it on!"

I put it on and slip on some sandals to match. I always have shoes or socks on while I'm aboard this bus. It's literally filthy.

"Now what?" I ask him. "A fashion show?"

"Nah. Go see Lou! She just texted me saying she needed you. Something about girl shit. Oh well. See ya!" he practically pushes me off of the bus.

The busses have been parked in a big parking lot for the past few days. Some of the crew members have tents set up. I walk over to Lou's tent.

"Lou? It's Tatum. Ashton said you wanted to see me?" she unzips the tent and lets me in.

"Hi lovely! You look dashing," she compliments me.

"Thank you. Ashton told me to wear it," I say. "Was there something you needed?"

"Oh, I just needed somebody to test my new makeup routine on. You up for it?"

"Might as well," I smile at her. She stars right away with my makeup.

Forty-five minutes later and my makeup is complete. Lou hands me a mirror and I gasp.

"I look beautiful! Thank you Lou,"

"No problem dear. Thank you," Lux spills her water all over her make up supplies.

"Shoot! Can you run over to the pizza place and get me some napkins?" I nod and quickly make my way over.

The pizza place is basically vacant. Not a worker nor customer in sight. I ring the bell at the counter and Calum pops up.

"Holy shit! Don't do that," I put my hand over my heart. "What're you doing back there? Is the rock star salary not paying enough?"

"Nah. I just wanted to give you something," he pulls out a flower crown and corsage. I gasp.

"What the hell?! Cal!" he places the crown atop my head. I put on the corsage myself.

"I just need some napkins for Lou! Lux spilled her water and-" he cuts me off.

"She'll be fine. Just go meet Mikey at the park. He had something important to give you,"

"What the hell is going on?" I ask him but he doesn't respond. I groan and hug him and take my time towards the park.

Once I'm there I see Mikey sitting on a park bench. I walk up to him and sit.
