Roadtrip Fanfic: 5th Wheel

22:Breakfast

2 Weeks Later:

Mikey's POV:

Tour starts tomorrow. We are currently all packing to drive down to Glasgow in an hour. I stuffed the rest of my cloths into my bag and piled it into the boot of Blairs car along with the rest of the bags and equipment.

Rye was sat in the front next to Blair. Andy was in the back with the bags. Brook was in the middle of Jack and I in the middle seats. The car was fairly cramped and I was unable to get comfy. I glanced over at Andy who was asleep. Rye was on his phone and brook and Jack were just laughing and cuddling.

I know it's not right to be jealous of your two best friends but I just feel like the odd one out all the time now. Ever since brook and Jack got back together no one has spoken to me. Randy always go on dates and jacklyn are always in their room. I'm just left everyday all day by myself.

I can't help but wish it was me. That I wasn't the one left behind. That I had someone to always be with and cuddle with and laugh with. Someone that I could love and they would love me in return.

I stared out the window trying to block out Brook and Jack next to me and finally fell asleep.

"MIKEY MIKEY GET UP!" I heard someone scream as the frantically shook me awake.

I opened my eyes to see it was Rye.
"Whyyyy" I moaned pushing him away.

"WE ARE HEREEEEEE YOU SHOULD BE HAPPYYYYYYYY" had shouted.

"Ughhhhh fine" I sighed and got out the car.

Blair checked us in before we choose who we were sharing rooms with.

" IM WITH RYE!" Andy shouted dragging rye to a near by door.

"I'm with Jack!" Brook said leading Jack to a different door.

I stood in the middle of the boys. I first started at Rye and Andy then at Brook and Jack.
Of course I would be left again. I didn't want to annoy either of them by staying in their room. I'd rather sleep in the hall.

"You can stay with us Mike" Andy finally said.

I heard Jack and Brook snigger before running into their room. That hurt. Hearing them laugh at the fact I was alone once again. I followed Andy and Rye into their room and took a seat on my single bed as Randy were already spread out on the double cuddling.

I sighed and lay down on the cold single beds wishing that I wasn't alone.
I was in deep thought about the past events with Brooklyn. How ever since that none of the boys had really bothered to hang around or even talk with me. They were to all to busy for me and I was just getting in the way... I don't want to be alone anymore. I don't want to be the 5th wheel anymore.

The next morning I woke up before both Rye and Andy and decided to go for a shower and get ready for the show later. After I was dressed I made my way down stairs to get breakfast.

I went over and got myself a cup of tea and some toast before finding a small table at the side of the room to sit at. I was just on my laptop editing sone new vlog footage when I heard someone clear their throat.

I looked up to see a boy. He looked about 19 and had short messy brown hair.
" hi sorry to bother you but could I please sit with you? There's more tables left..." The boy said shyly but trying to sound confident.

"Yeah of course you can" I smiled patting the seat next to me for him to sit down.

"Thanks" he said smiling back and sitting next to me.

"In Mikey by the way. What's your name?" I asked sipping my tea.

"I'm Corey..." He said slightly more confident.

"I really like that name" I told him truthfully.
He smirked and took a sip of his tea.

I went back to editing not wanting to bother him but he soon asked what I was doing.

"Well erm I'm editing a video... You see I'm in a boy band called RoadTrip..." I said the last part in barely a whisper not wanting him to laugh at me.
I looked down embarrassed not wanting to see his reaction.

" Wait for real? Like an actual BoyBand?" He asked. I just nodded still looking down as my cheeks slowly started burning up.

"Wow that's sick! It must be great" he said enthusiastically. I looked up at him surprised at his reaction.

"Yeah it's okay I guess..." I said after a minute.

"Okay? It's it like a dream?" He asked confused.

"Yeah it's amazing... Just not when your band mates hate you..." I said mumbling the last part.

"What do you mean when your band mates hate you?" He asked.

"What! Oh I just meant... It doesn't matter" I sighed.

He looked at me worriedly and moved his hand closer to mine before quickly pulling it away as though he was disagreeing with himself.

"Mikey of course it matters" he said reassuringly.

" if I tell you will you promise not to hate me?" I said starting to feel sad as the memories rushed back into my head.

"I promise! I would never hate or judge you!" He said almost too confidently.

"Well... One of my band mates Brooklyn fell for my other band mate Jack but he didn't realise that I already liked him and it caused a lot of drama but now it's sorted no one has really spoken to me because they have all been together..." I said feeling the pain in my chest increase as the memories came back.

"Well I think you should talk to them and let them know how you feel. It's not fair that you are being completely excluded just because you liked one of them." He said now putting his hand on top of mine and smiling at me as though he knew exactly what I needed to hear.

" wait you don't care that I liked a boy?" I said shocked

"No of course not! It doesn't make a difference to me at all. Especially when I'm gay myself..." He said giving me a reassuring smile.

I smiled at him getting lost in his. Why did I feel so comfortable opening up to him. It was as though he was a long lost friend that understood and accepted me no matter what.

"Thank you Corey it means a lot"

"It's okay really"

I looked at my phone noticing it was almost 10am.
"I should probably go...we have a show today and we have to be at the venue in an hour"

"Oh okay. Well I hope you have fun..." He said looking slightly sad.

I smiled and packed up my laptop before saying goodbye to Corey and heading back to the Hotel room.
