Second Chances ~ l.h.

Chapter 8

The next morning when I woke up, I sat up and looked around the tour bus the biggest smile growing on my face from remembering last night. I slept on the couch, the boys offered me a bunk, but they already have done so much for me and I didn’t want to kick someone out of their spot, but they insisted, and the owner of the bunk said it was fine, so I took it. Then of course I couldn’t fall sleep because I felt bad and it not feeling right to be doing this so I took the couch instead. I could tell I was the first person up, knowing by the deep snoring coming from the bunks and all the privacy curtains were closed still.

I looked at my phone I had about 50 messages from Katey and Gill asking for updates and what happened and only one from Brian, which was a simple ok. By the time Luke and I got back from our date it was too late to call them, knowing they were asleep back in New Jersey because of the time difference, so I texted him saying that I was sorry I haven’t called since I landed, it’s late now and you guys wouldn’t be up so I promised to call first thing in the morning.

                “Are you guys home or at work?” I texted Gill, quickly getting a response in less than a minute.

                “Home about to leave for beach, had day off remember?” 

                “Right, just get your laptop ready.” I replied to her.

                “Why?” she asked.

                “Just do it.” I responded back still being tired and not wanting to deal with stupid questions, mainly because I wasn’t the biggest morning person.  

I grabbed my laptop and walked off the bus making sure not to make any noise so I wouldn’t wake anyone up. The tour bus was pulled up in the garage of the arena and the garage door was shut so no fans could get in and try getting on the tour bus to watch the boys sleep, so I was able to walk out of the bus without getting seen by fans. I walked back to the dressing room so I could video chat my friends; this way they could be as loud as they wanted and not wake anyone up. I placed my computer on the coffee table and sat on the floor, trying to get in contact with my friends, who are now probably dead because I haven’t told them anything about yesterday yet.

“Girl, where have you been? We’ve been texting you all night for details and you haven’t responded once!” Katey yelled through the computer.

“Well I’m sorry that I was on a plane to LA for 6 hours, and then hung out with the boys for a little bit and then went on my date with Luke!” I yelled knowing that last part would get their attention. “Besides I called you guys yesterday when I landed didn’t I?”

“Yeah, Blah, blah, blah, who cares did you say date with Luke?” Gill asked curiously.

“Well of course she said date you idiot that was the point of going out there!” Katey yelled at her smacking the back of her head, the same why Ashton slapped Michael yesterday.

“First of, no shit Sherlock, I knew that but I meant like how it went, what’d they do!” Gill yelled at her, “And second of, owe!”
