TRY HARD

Chapter 11

We're in Chicago at a hotel tonight. It's just Luke and I in this room as usual. I throw on my velvet pyjama shorts and bralette and go towards my bed. I fall face first into it and lay with my feet hanging off the edge. I hear the bathroom open but I don't care. I feel a finger poke my ass.
"Lukas" I mumble.
"What!? It's cute" he says trying to justify his actions.
"I'm so tired" I mumble into the covers again. I feel his hands on my side, he pushes me over so I'm laying on my back. I close my eyes and feel the bed dip beside me. His arms snake around me as he pulls me to the pillows. I'm too tired to fight anything so I let him do what he wants.
"Good night" he pressed a soft kiss to my lips, I can't help but smile.
"Goodnight"

I put on my cupless bra with a kimono style dress that stops at my mid thigh. I throw on my thigh high netted heels and do some dark makeup. It only takes about 20 minutes. I brush out my hair and finger style it. I unlock the door and go into the bedroom. Everyone stops talking and I look up.
"What?" I ask. Lukes mouth is half open.
"Damn....." he says. I roll my eyes and continue putting my stuff into my suitcase.
"I uh, I have to go to the bathroom." He says. I can see he has a little problem he has to fix. Or I guess it's a big problem. He closes the door and I snicker a little bit.
"Damn girl" Ashton says laying on my bed.
"Shut up Irwin."
"Wait is that a skeleton hand?" Michael says grabbing my hand.
"Ya, perks of working at hot topic"
"Damn I need a job there" Calum says. Flop onto my bed next to Ashton.
"Jet lag can suck my ass"
"I bet Luke is thinking of that right now" I punch Michael in the arm for his comment.
"Ow I bruise easily" he complains.
"You deserved that one" Calum says.
"K ready to go?" Luke says coming out of the bathroom still doing up his belt.
"I don't know are you?" Ashton asks. Luke shakes his head, grabbing his bags. I do the same and we head out the door to the cars.
"Oh my god I'm so tired I need coffee" I say getting into the van.
"We can get coffee at the venue." Ashton says climbing over me into the back.
"Why didn't you get in the back ya jerk!" Calum says also climbing over me.
"Haha losers" I say laughing. Michael sits in the front and Luke is beside me.
"So is soundcheck and the show the only thing we're doing today?" I ask pulling out my phone.
"Ya as of right now" Michael replies.
"I have to fart" Luke says
"NOOOOOO" we all yell.
"Open the fucking windows Mike!!" I yell he rolls them all down just as Luke starts to laugh.
"Lukeeeeeeee I'm behind you!!" Calum says while plugging his nose.
"OH MY GOD" I stick my face out the window.
"Luke you're sick!" Ashton says. Luke just laughs.
"I agree with your friends" the driver says shaking his head.
"Next time I'm taking the car with Kate, Alice, Connor and the others" I say.
"Nooooo don't leave me" Luke complains.
"Then don't fart in the car ya jerk." I still keep my nose plugged with my fingers.

"Ok we're here!" We all pile out of the car and grab our bags, heading into the venue. I stop just before going into the door to grab my purse. I run back to the car and grab it. I head back towards the door when someone stops me.
"You don't have a badge" he says.
"Ok well you don't have to touch me, Luke has my AAA pass" I say.
"I'm sorry but I can't let you in."
"I'm with the band! I'll just text Luke!" I dig in my purse to find my phone.
"Fuck Luke has it! Can't you just go in and tell them to come out?"
"I cannot ma'am, I'm sorry."
"Yeah right" I mumble. I go back to the van, it's locked. I sigh. I sit down against it and put my head into my lap. I hear the band start up for soundcheck. I sit back and listen.

"Thank you everybody!!!" I hear them say. I can picture them walking into the green room and not seeing me, they look confused, almost worried. I've been using my duffle bag as a pillow as I lay on the cold, hard concrete.
"No where the fuck would she be! I have her AAA, pass and her phone!"
"She's probably in the bathroom! Lost track of the time and didn't realize it was time for the questions" the door opens and I see Luke and Michael.
"You suck" I say not getting up.
"I'm taking a picture" Mike says and pulls out his phone. I hold up my finger and stand up.
"Let's get back out there, Calum and Ashton are stalling" Luke says handing me my badge.
"Told ya" I say showing it the to guard. We run towards the stage. I drop my bags at the side and jump onto Lukes back.
"We found her!!" Michael yells.
"Luke left me outside" I say still holding onto to him.
"Luke you ass!!" I hear a fan yell.
"What!? I didn't do it on purpose her phone was in my pocket and her phone has her AAA badge on it." We sit and talk to the fans for a while.
"Ok we gotta get ready to perform for you guys."
"See ya soon" Michael says leaving.
"Ok Mr. Hemmings, Thanks for leaving me" I say picking up my bag from side stage and walking to the green room with the boys.
"I'm sorry babe but I just wanted to punish you for what you made me do this morning"
"Oh you're tempting" I say shaking my head.
"MY EAR HOLES" Michael yells
"Damn." Ashton shaking his head.
"That's a mood" we all look at Calum.
"What?"
