Chapter Eight

T o n i - Chapter eight

I hop into the rental car and wipe the sweat off of my forehead. We just finished the first day of Sunsation tour and I couldn't stop smiling. I met so many fans of Christian and Kirsten that recognized me and wanted to take pictures. I happily agreed. Now we were on our way to get dinner at chipotle.

Crawford sat beside me in the back whole Christian and Kirsten sat in the front jamming to remixes. I lean my head on Crawford's shoulder, sighing.

"You okay?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded and looked out the front window. It was dark outside and I was tired. We ended up eating really fast and going back to the hotel. We were going to stay the night and leave for the airport in the morning.

I land face first onto the bed and groan loudly. I wanted a nice warm shower and tea. Good thing Starbucks is down the road. I hop into the shower and wash myself rather quickly. I end up putting on shorts and a shirt with flip flops, grabbing the hotel key and my wallet.

Kirsten was sleeping while Crawford was watching tv in sweats. Christian was standing by the window, texting on his phone.

"I'm going to Starbucks. Anyone want to join me?" Christian nods his head and puts on a shirt while Crawford shoves on a hoodie and follows behind me.

"Tonight was so much fun." I laugh and scratch my nose, feeling the warm air of Texas. "I can't wait for the next city." Christian agrees and opens the door of the place. We end up getting tea instead of coffee and chill in one of the booths. I sip my drink and check twitter.

"So many people are tweeting me pictures of us that I took with them." Christian looks at my phone and smiles. "I didn't know they remembered me."

"How could they not? You hang out with us all the time and were really close. They're probably jealous about you two always together." I look at Crawford and raise an eyebrow.

"You guys are obviously perfect for each other. I've never seen you guys without each other. If you're not together, you're texting each other." I look at Christian who is blushing and I smile.

"We are aren't we? Such a shame that I won't make the first move." I chuckle and earn a smirk from Crawford as Christian coughs and smiles."Im going to the bathroom. Dont leave without me." I stand up and walk to the restrooms.

I do my business and wash my hands. I couldnt believe I said that to him. I might of sent the wrong message. I do secretly like him but cant ruin our friendship. I wouldnt do that. I walk back out and see the two whispering.

Crawford sees me and motions for Chris to look at me. I sigh and walk over to them and grab my drink, still standing.

"Like to tell me anything?" Chris shakes his head and Crawford shrugs. Sighing, I grab my wallet and head out of Starbucks. I could feel someones shoulder against my arm and smile. I knew it was Crawford because hes shorter than me.

"Im sorry about back there. It was just a private conversation." I shrug and drink my tea while looking over at Crawford who was putting something on twitter. "He feels bad y'know." I look behind me and see Christian watching the ground as he walked.

"I feel bad about hurting him. I didnt mean for my reaction to look so bad." Crawford looks behind him and frowns at Christian.

"Ive never seen him so happy after you moved next door." We look back in front of us and continue walking towards the hotel. "Do you have the slightest crush on Chris?" I run a hand through my almost dry hair.

"If I tell you, you cant tell anyone. I dont want to ruin anything between us, I dont want to start something with his fans either." Crawford nods his head and looks at me. "Yes, I have a crush on him. I think I've had one since I first met him."

"Thats freaking adorable." I bump into him on purpose and chuckle. He rubs his arm and smiles at me. "I wont tell anyone. Its your secret to keep and I will keep it as long as you want me to." I look at him and smile.

"You're the best Crawf." He shrugs his shoulders and blushes a little.

"I try my best." We both let out a small laugh and walk into the hotel with Christian behind us. "Try talking to him, okay?" I nod and watch as Crawford gets into the elevator and smiles at me before the door closes.

I turn to face Christian who was staring at me in confusion. I grab his wrist and drag him down the hall to the pool room. No one was down here at this time of night. I push open the door and sit on a bench, bringing Chris down with me.

"Whats wrong Toni?" Looking at him, I wrap my arms around his waist and hug him tightly. He hugs me back as I feel his breath on my ear. I try not to laugh since it tickled a little. "Are you okay?"

"Actually I wanted to know if you were okay. I didnt mean for my reaction to look like that. Im not mad at you for not telling me what you guys were talking about. I actually dont really care to know since its between you and Crawford." He takes my words and smiles softly.

"Im fine now." He pauses and looks at me. "Do you have a thing for Crawford?" I widen my eyes and gape at him. He raises both eyebrows and frowns. I stand up and cross my arms.

"Why would I like Crawford? Hes like a brother to me!" Chris stands up and throws his arms in defence. I huff and lean on the brick walls. "I dont have a thing for your brother Chris. You guys are like family to me. Thats kind of wrong y'know. Anyways, I like someone else."

"Who do you like then?" I look at him and kick myself off of the wall and walk over to the door that leads out of the pool room.

"Im not telling you, its a secret. Maybe one day you will find out." I walk out of there and to the elevators getting into one and pushing the floor number. I didnt see Chris follow after me or anything so I assumed hes staying in there for awhile.

The elevator doors open and I walk down the hall to see Crawford sitting on the floor. He stands up and looks at me. I hold out the key and he takes it from me to open the door.

"Wheres Christian?" I shrug and walk into the room and see Kirsten still sleeping. She must be really tired. I go to the bathroom and change into sweats and a tank top. Christian walks in the room while Crawford is passed out in the other bed.

"Goodnight Christian." He smiles and me and takes his shirt off. I stop and stare but before he could look at me, I turn around to face Kirstens back and close my eyes. I really needed sleep for tomorrow.

So Crawford tweeted me at like 1am yesterday and I couldnt stop crying. But now everytime I see the picture I screen shotted I cant stop smiling. Today they're in Dallas, Texas. I wish I was going to see them but I cant!
