Bryn's POV

I hung up on Calum and threw a few more random things in my bag. Taking one last look at my apartment before leaving forever. I had decided last month that I was going to take a gap year after realizing that more than anything I want to travel.

When I broke the news to my mom she was thrilled. It was not at all the reaction I was expecting, then I she told me why.

My brothers band was going on tour in America for five months. A perfect way for me to travel around. I said no. Being stuck on a bus with four dudes? Not my idea of a good time.

Of course my mom being my mom she wouldn't take no for an answer. Eventually I gave in. Besides, I missed my brother.

Now here I am, leaving my apartment for the last time. My roommate had quit school and left for Florida with her boyfriend, leaving me all alone. Our lease ended next month so I decided it was time for a change. After all the traveling of course.

I lugged my two massive suitcases to the elevator, letting out a sigh when the doors closed. There was no going back now.

The doors opened to a dark lobby. Power must've gone out. Again. I place my key on the front desk and waved goodbye to my landlord. She smiled in return and gave me a slight nod.

"Bryn!" Calum shouted, running up and giving me a bone crushing hug. "How's my little sister?"

I pushing him off, scowling. "Little sister? Calum I was born two minutes before you!"

Grinning, he put one finger on his chin and looked off into the distance pretending to be confused. "Sorry. I clearly remember seeing the world for the first time two minutes before your eyes."

I could hear his bandmates laughing. Well, two of them at least. Luke was on the phone, deep in conversation.

"Who's he talking to?" I asked no one in particular.

"Noelle," Ashton answered, "She's pretty hot." Michael and Calum nodded in agreement. I rolled my eyes.

Luke laughed and I turned my attention back to him. Who was Noelle? I narrowed my eyes.

To be honest, I had always had a little crush on Luke. Nothing serious, just a little schoolgirl thing. It had started the first day he had come over to our house for band practice. I had snuck out to the garage to watch them practice and I could not stop looking at him. Even with his awful hair.

I hadn't seen him in a year and my go he had changed. For the better I might add. With his amazing blonde hair, piercing eyes, and his lip ring. I made myself look away, no matter how much I wanted to look at him.

He was one of the main reasons I didn't want to go on this trip. I didn't want to get to know him, I didn't want to get attached. He was always touring and I wouldn't probably just get my heartbroken. Even if I didn't Calum would probably kill us both. Plus I knew I would screw up and do something stupid and make him think I was crazy. Classic Bryn.

Luke walked over to us, smiling. He ran a hand through that stupidly perfect hair then said, "Ready to go?"

"Let's get this over with," I said grimly. I started to walk over to the bus, then realized there was no bus. "Um, guys?"

They all looked at each other and laughed. Cal looked back at me and smiled in innocently.

"It's a funny story really."

After the boys explained their mishaps in the big city I immediately made them call their bus driver to come meet us. They didn't even know how the heck they got here let alone where the left the bus.
