"Hey Alora." The boys greet as they walk onto the bus after the show. I didn't go to this one tonight because Josh wouldn't let me leave. I have been sneezing and staring off into space all day. I weakly smile at the boys before I sneeze.

"Sorry." Ashton apologizes softly.

"I'm not mad at you. I started the pranks." I say and laugh through a stuffy nose. The smile quickly fades from my face though. I haven't been able to hold a smile all day. I get to my feet and walk to my bunk to grab a book before I walk back into the living area to find all the boys on the couch. I roll my eyes at them and turn around to go back to my bunk. I climb up on to my bed and turn a light on before I close the curtain and curl up with my book.

The Fault in our Stars is an amazing novel by John Green. I have already it three times but I don't think there is such a thing as reading it too much. I read the entire thing and when I finish it, it's 4 in the morning and the boys should be getting up soon. I pull out my phone and scroll through Twitter and Facebook for a few hours before I quietly get out of my bunk and go into the bathroom. I have dark rings under my eyes from not sleeping tonight but I just take out some coverup and put it under my eyes before I head to the kitchen. I am making myself a bowl of cereal when Michael comes in.

"Morning." I greet quietly as I sit at the table.

"Unfortunately." he answers grumpily. I smile slightly but it slips away as I look down. I finish my cereal and wash out my bowl as the rest of the boys wake up.

"Do you guys have an interview today?" I ask when they're all sitting on the couch. Calum nods but nobody says anything until their manager comes and rushes them to the car. Then the bus is silent. Josh probably won't let me go out again today just so I don't get even more sick. He is out with the One Direction boys right now. Leaving me by myself.

I get chills on my arms as go back to my bunk to grab a sweatshirt. When I come back out there is a man at the table making me scream. He jumps about a foot in the air and holds his hands out in a calming gesture.

"Woah. Hi. I'm Jerry. Your brother sent me to watch over you for the day." He explains himself. I nod my head as my heart rate calms.

"Sorry. I didn't hear the door open." I say as I sit on the couch and look out the window. He moves around the bus for a few minutes looking for something before he sits on the couch.

"What do you do all day?" He asks.

"This." I motion to the table. "I just sit here thinking." I admit.

"Why is your brother so protective?" he inquires.

"Because my father doesn't like the idea that I'm with Josh. He won't try anything but Josh is being cautious." I tell him. "Are you hungry or anything?" I ask him politely to try to change the subject.

"No. I'm fine. Thanks though." He smiles. I nod and move back to my bunk as a yawn forces it's self out if my mouth. I grab a book and go to the opposite side if the couch as him before I curl up and start reading, If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I sit there reading until my eyes start to droop. When they do, I get up to stretch before I look in the kitchen area for something to eat. I still have hours until the boys get back so I could just go sleep but I'm too scared of my nightmares. My phone buzzing on the couch cushion takes me away from the cabinets.
