Not So Innocent (EGASS sequel)

Chapter 12 - Gabby

Note: Feel free to kill me; I'm a really bad writer D: I'm sawwy T^T I was really focused on writing for my other stories. I have a boyxboy called 'Silent Talent' and it's honestly going surprisingly well! And I was sort of all like, 'OMG I GOTTA UPDATE ALL MY STORIES ON MY PERSONAL ACCOUNT!' and I totally forgot about writing for NSI T^T I am so, so sorry D: But here I am now! :D Ehehe :3 From now on, I'll make sure to update whenever I can, after my two co-writers do so *le nod*. Also, I'll get right on editing EGASS :3 Ahem. This chapter is a two-in-one so it might be longer than usual, cos Emily left out the chapter where it was supposed to be shopping and did the date thing instead sooo...yeah :3

"Explain to me again why we had to stop here when we have the rehearsals in like four hours? And may I remind you, this is in like, Birmingham!  May I remind you that is two hours away!?" Lizzie keeps talking, trying to probably annoy us so much that we want to throw her off the tour bus. Joe glances at her once and sighs, shaking his head, before he gets up and walks toward her.

"Calm down, love. We're only stopping now because Richard over there forgot to stop earlier. And don't worry; we'll make it in time. I promise you." He puts an arm around her shoulders and pulls her in for a side hug.

"In my defense, I was really tired because you all kept me up last night, so that I didn't even get any sleep." Richard protests.

It's funny, really. Richard wasn't even supposed to come and drive us around on our first national tour, but Daz insisted that he didn't trust us, and he had to have somebody babysitting us. I was the first who protested, feeling like I have my parents with me again everywhere I go, but I guess I am learning to accept it just like the others. We just met him a few hours ago when Daz gave us a call. We were a little surprised as well, considering we had just entered a different town, and knowing that Richard probably hadn't even taken off from the office. Of course, we did get the shock of our lives to find him already at the meeting place; Starbucks.

And here we are now.

"Excuses, excuses!" Lili smirks from where she's standing, reaching up for her purse, which very inconveniently is right up on one of the very high shelves. I see Brett out of the corner of my eye, reaching out to help her get her purse, but then stops almost as an after thought to glance at Noah, who just smiles at him. I take it those two are friends now, then? It certainly looks like it.

"Okay. We'll get going then, Rich. We'll be back in about an hour, okay?" Logan tells him, and I have to face palm at his little stupidity leak.

"Not so fast, West. I'm your bodyguard for a reason. To guard. So I'm coming with you." He parks the bus and then gets out before we do, and then slowly beckons us out. I'm the first off, with Brett in tow. I had to convince him for hours that it didn't matter if he and I got a little closer as friends, because Logan has nothing to worry about. And besides, I'm allowed to make some friends which he might not like. He has plenty that I hate.

I glance over my shoulder once and see Logan with Joe and Liz, and Lili wanting to run after Brett and I, but Noah not allowing her. Eventually though, Lizzie runs up beside us with an excited grin.

"Okay," She admits. "I don't care whether we're gonna be late to that rehearsal, or to the concert. Take me clothes shopping right now and I'll make sure to get you the best present ever for your birthday."

"My birthday is like, a month away, dude. You'll forget to get me anything nice by then. But don't worry, I'll still take you to my favourite shop of all time, PULP! They honestly have the best clothes like, ever!" I tell her, and then grab both hers and Brett's wrists, dragging them towards said shop with a grin.
