Even If It Kills Me (One Direction and The Vamps Fan Fiction)

Chapter 35

Cat's POV

I awoke to the abrupt sound of the alarm clock. I was, as Brad mentioned, never in "my" room so today was no different as I awoke next to Brad. After the 'low key, my best friend almost died again. Low key though, low key' event last night, everyone went their separate ways and our little sleepover with James was cancelled.

I assumed Brad was still asleep since he's a heavy sleeper and I've usually had to wake him up in the morning so far, heavy sleeper and an extremely loud snorer, just thought I'd mention ;). I reached over and turned the alarm clock off, starting to get out of bed.

"Mmmm, wait" Brad mumbles in his husky morning voice and pulls me back up to him by my waist. He holds me tightly and nuzzles his head into my neck.

"You scared me, I thought you were asleep! Why are you so cuddly?" I laugh.

He didn't answer, but I can feel him smiling into my neck.

"I have to get ready," I tell him, trying to get up. "You should get ready too,"

He doesn't let me go and still holds onto me tight. He lifts his head and looks up at me smiling. "I know, I just wanted to-"

"Cuddle, yeah we already know you're a koala," I interrupt him.

He laughs and then smilies, leaning closer to me. He whispers in my ear, "You're so beautiful, Cat."

I shake my head "How did I trick you into thinking I'm attractive?" I ask. "Is it the extensions? Because this isn't all my real hair!" I blurt and point at my hair.

Brad laughs his cute contagious laugh that makes me all warm inside.

"I guess I know your biggest secret now!" Brad jokes. "But I was being serious, you really are absolutely beautiful." he gives me a crooked smile and I lean in to kiss him.

Before we could kiss, the door to the hotel room swung open and Emma ran through the door. She was holding a banana. She stepped onto the bed and jumped over Brad and I onto the second empty bed in the room.

"Sorry guys!" She apologized. She was laughing really hard.

Harry ran through the door next and started running toward Emma. He did the same as Emma and stepped onto the bed where Brad and I were. Emma ran through the door before Harry could get to her. Harry plopped down on the bed between us.

"Hey guys, what's up?" He asked, putting one arm around Brad and one around me and pulling us into a group embrace.

"Uh, hi?" I giggled.

"Oh, I see what's going on here." Harry smirks. "I'll leave, I need my banana back anyways." Harry runs out the door in the direction Emma went.

"Well then," Brad said once we were alone again. "I guess we can continue," he laughs.

"Yeah, not really feeling it anymore, the moment is gone. I need to shower and stuff anyways." I got out of the bed. I turned around to look back before leaving, Brad looked pouted at me .

"Can I at least have my Arctic Monkeys shirt back? I want to wear it to the show." He pouts.

"Nope. See you on the bus." I tease, I'll give it back eventually. "Oh and thank you for you know....saying in beautiful." I said the last part quietly and looked down at my feet shyly.

"Just telling the truth," he smiles.

I blush and close the door that Emma and Harry left open.

By 8:55 we were all on the tour bus, ready to head to North Carolina for the show there.

The guys all put their bags into their usual bunks, Brad's is the bottom bunk closest to the media room in the back of the bus.
