18 Years // A.I.

Ch 07

Lily's POV-

"A bed. A real bed." I say, climbing under the covers of the hotel bed. Oh I never loved a hotel bed more.

"You're crazy." Luke says, climbing into his bed.

"Shut up and go to sleep like the rest of us." I say, closing my eyes.

We landed in Toronto and came straight to the hotel. We battled fans to get here, something I would never get used too. Me being sleepy, I'm sure I just got a hearty dose of hate from fans. I may of cussed one girl out because she grabbed onto me. 

Luke made me share a room with him, but I really didn't mind because who else would I bunk with? We all made Ashton bunk with Niall; I'm sure they will be well fed with all those snacks Niall brought. Mike and Cal bunked together and I guess Harry and Louis bunked as did Liam and Zayn.

-------------------------

"Wake up." I hear someone shout before hitting me. I feel the only brave one enough to do that would be Luke.

"What?" I ask, sitting up and glaring at him.

"We have to go eat and then go to the arena." He says, walking into the bathroom. I lay back down; I can get at least 15 more minutes of sleep when he is in the shower. I've never saw a man take so long.

"I'm out the shower, now get up and get one." Luke says loudly.

"Eff you." I mumble. I groan and lazily walk to the steamy bathroom; at least it is now warm and not cold.

I climb in and take a long shower until I feel the water grow cold. I quickly get out and wrap a towel around me. I walk back out to see Luke waiting to do his hair. I laugh and grab some clothes before walking into the small closet to change in private. I put on the outit Meghan had bought for her girls night out. It was tight leather pants and a flowy red tank. Studded heels where my addition to the outfit. I put on some gold ring and owl necklace. The owl necklace was a family heirloom of Eve's. I go into the bathroom and start fixing my hair beside Luke.

"You're both just alike!" I hear someone shout from outside the bathroom. We turn with our hands frozen in midair and see Niall and Ash standing there. Niall was the one that shouted.

Niall was in my hotel room. He was standimg in the same room as me.

"Is she okay?" I hear Niall mumble to Ash.

"Yeah. Its just I'm a fan." I laugh. I go back to doing my hair and notice how many the same mannerisms me and Luke have in common.

"You play drums to?" Niall asks, holding up my drumsticks.

"Yeah, I played snare drum in the marching band, but I can also play all types of percussion." I say to Niall as he gives me my drumsticks.

I slip them pocket and walk out with them to the room where we are eating I walk in and see other members of Luke's band and One Direction sitting around. I follow Luke and sit between him and Ash.

"So, you can play drums like me?" Ash smirks.

"Maybe even better." I smirk. "Food!"

"She must be kin to Niall as well." Calum says as a plate is put in front of him. We all get the same meal.

"I feel like I'm in a nursing home, them making me eat the same crap as you guys." I say, biting a strawberry.

Once we are done we go to the arena. I sit backstage for a while before walking onto the stage.

"So you must be Lily!" Louis shouts, running over to me and giving me a bear hug.

"The one and only." I smile to him. He laughs and soon I am in a dog pile.

"Guys get off her; she can't breathe with all you big lads on top of her." I hear a voice with a peculiar accent shouts. Whoever said that is an angel. I see hands help me up off the floor.

"Thank you..." I trail off, looking up to see who helped me.

"Paul." The man states.

"Thank you, Paul for saving my life." I say, walking off to find Luke. I end up finding Ashton dancing around with a guitar.

"Hey, you're staying for the show, right?" He asks once he sees me. I nod my head and sit on the couch. Calum comes in and lays on the other one.

"I didn't get any sleep last night, thanks to troll dude over there." He mumbles as Mike walks in laughing.

"I apparently snored and kept him up, but I have a feeling it was you." He says, pointing to me.

"Luke, did I keep you up with my snoring?" I ask, worried.

"No, I had earplugs to tune you out." He laughs.

"I think your hearing is bad because of that volume!" I scream over the music. He shrugs as I walk out to see an empty stage. I reach into my pocket and grab my sticks before climbing up to the drums. I hesitate before drumming on them.

"You're not that bad." I hear a voice yell climbing up the stairs. I see Ash's bandana pop up before anything else.

"Thanks, I just needed to blow off some steam that was building up." I say, resting my sticks on the drum.

"Well, imma have to kick you off the seat, but you can stay up here if you want." He says. I laugh and switch places with him. I don't think I have ever heard him play.

------------------------

"I have a proposition!" Ash says, coming down from the drums after they finish their last song. Lord what is he about to do? The fans scream and shout to him. "I want Lily Hemmings to grab a microphone and come on this stage."

"Damn you." I mouth to him as someone gives me a microphone and pushes me on stage. I see the Ireland flag on the bottom, I glance st the bottom to see an Irish flag, so Niall pushed me.

"She plays drums and I want to have a drum off!" He shouts. I know my mouth goes wide open.

"Nope!" I shout, turning to run off stage, but Louis and Liam stop me.

"If I do this, what do I get if I win?" I ask into the microphone. I hear fans scream.

"I’ll let you play the drums the next show?" He says more as a question.

"And if I lose?" I ask smirking.

"Simple, I get a date from you." He smirks. Well played Irwin, well played.

"I don't know should I do it?" I ask looking at all the fans. The scream a mixtures of yes and awes because of what he said. "You're going down!"

"First one to drop off loses!" Josh shouts to us. I nod and smirk at Ash as we begin. We ended up doing to many tricks causing me to get offbeat. I ended up losing after getting offbeat. Ash raises his arms in victory as he knows he won.

"I broke a drumstick again!" he shouts holding up a broken drumstick. The crowd roars with laughter. He smirks and asks, "So how about that date Hemmings?"

"Luke time for your date, you're a Hemmings!" I shout into the microphone. The fans laugh causing me to laugh. "Ok kidding, I get to pick where we go since I'm being forced to go with you in public."

"a'ight!" He says, walking off stage.

"I hope you never try that accent again!" I say, walking off behind him.

"Well you're funny unlike your brother." Liam says. I laugh and chug a water bottle that Luke gives me.

"It is really hot on stage when you are in leather!" I whine as we walk off to the car to go back to the hotel.

"Did you like drumming for all the fans?" Ash asks as we get in the car.

"Yeah, I didn't hear any boos." I say, leaning my head back as they turn the air on high. Lord what have I got myself into? I have to go on a date with Ashton doing God knows what.
