Secluded

Chapter 7

----------------Alexis P.O.V----------------I push through the screaming fans into our hotel, dragging my suitcase behind me. There sure is a lot of people here, we've just arrived in Australia for the tour. It was a long flight, everyone mostly slept I think.

Apparently we are all sharing one room, I'm excited.

"Bugsy the window bed!" I run up to the bed in the corner next to the window and throw myself on it.

Michael sits on the bed next to me, and Calum in front. I watch Luke flop on the bed moaning about jet lag. Ashton goes to the kitchen and sees what they have in the fridge.

"Lukey." Calum says laughing as he lays on top of Luke and curls up.

"Get offff." Luke groans.

"I love how we can cuddle like this." Calum says snuggling into Luke.

I laugh.

"BUNDLEEEE!" Ashton runs in and jumps on them both hugging them.

I laugh more as Michael gets on.

Luke stares at me and mouths "help." I smile.

"Luuuukeyyyyyy!" I sing.

"Help meeeee." He sings back. I weakly reach out.

"I can't reach." I giggle. He groans and tries to push them off.

They laugh as they fall off one by one. Michael rolls onto the floor and faces the ceiling spreading out on the floor.

Ashton pulls out his phone and starts keeking.

"Hey guys it's Ashton, and we have just landed in our hotel." He grins.

"We didn't land IN our hotel." Michael points out. Ashton moves the camera to Michael and he waves.

"This is Calum." Ashton shows the camera to Calum. Calum strums on the guitar and sings,

"I want to have sex with Luke Hemmings."

"Oo okay. Hehe" Ashton turns it to Luke. He's cuddled up in the blanket.

"Ash cuddle me." He moans.

"No one wants to cuddle you." Ashton laughs. "And this is antisocial Alexis." Ashton points the camera at me, I look up from my phone clueless. They all laugh. I smile and wave, jumping of the bed and sitting on Michaels stomach. He holds my hands and I play with his fingers.

"And this is Milexis." He shows us.

"Kiss kiss kiss kiss." Luke chants as the other boys join in.

"Eww who'd want to kiss him?" I ask scrunching my nose up. Michael sticks his tongue out at me.

"Say bye!" Ashton shouts.

"Bye we love you!" Calum shouts.

"Bye." Mumbles Luke.

"Byeeeeee." I wave to the camera. Michael quickly kisses me while I'm distracted. "You cheeky bast-"

"Bye!" Ashton cuts me off and finishes the keek and posts it.

"Soooooo what do we do?" I ask.

"Sleep." Luke mumbles. "Someone cuddle me." He groans.

"Luke wants a cuddle buddy." Calum laughs.

"I'll be your cuddle buddy." I laugh.

"No you're my cuddle buddy." Michael wraps his arms around my waist, digging his head into my neck.

"Sorry Luke I'm taken." I wink.

"I'll be your cuddle buddy!" Calum shouts running to Luke.

"Nooooo..." Luke groans hiding under the covers. Calum pouts, and crosses his arms over his chest. I get up off Michael and pull him up.

"When's the first show?" I ask, sitting on my bed cross legged.

"Tomorrow." Michael replies sitting behind me and pulling me onto his lap.

---------------a few months later---------

We all sit in the lounge on the tour bus, after a show. I sit on the floor against the wall next to Michael.

"I think we should go clubbing tonight." Ashton says from the sofa.

"Sounds fun." Michael says.

"Yeah man." Calum scrolls through Twitter, tweeting fans.

"Meh, I'll pass." I say, tweeting about the show.

"Same, I need sleep." Luke replies, rubbing his eyes.

"Is it okay with you of I go?" Michael asks putting his arm round me.

"Yeah." I laugh, kissing his cheek. He smiles and they go get ready.

Me and Michael have been going strong, we've been dating for almost 6 months. We've had the little arguments here and there but nothing big. And I'm happy, I really am.

"Okay, bye love." Michael kisses me quickly. "I'll see you soon." They leave.

Luke went to bed so I'm alone, I sit in the lounge and put the tv on.

It's around 1 in the morning now, they're still out and I'm just chilling still. I scroll through Twitter, something catches my eye.

"Michael Clifford cheating on girlfriend Alexis Smart?" My hearts starts racing as I click on the picture attached.

It's of him and a blonde girl, with his tongue down her throat. It's definitely him, I can tell by his hair. And Calum trying to stop him in the background...

I feel my eyes start swelling as the first year falls. Starting of the race.

My twitters blowing up with tweets and pictures about/of them.

He wouldn't do that, he wouldn't cheat. I tell myself. Not after what happened.

I don't sleep, I can't, the bus door suddenly opens and Michael stumbles in. Followed by a sober Calum, and Ashton. I look up at them with tears still streaming down my face and slowly shake my head.

"Lexxxxxxxx." Michael slurrs, walking over to me.

"Go away Michael." I say shaking. He looks at me confused, while Ashton takes him to his bunk.

I put my head in my hands, and feel the space next to me sink, I look up and Calum pulls me into his chest.

"I'm so sorry babe." He says, stroking my hair. I sob into his shoulder.

"Why would he do that?" I mumble, "After everything..." I cry harder.

"I don't know babe, I don't know..." He mumbles kissing the top of my head. I look up at him slowly, and smile.

I fall asleep in Calum's arms that night.

---------------Calum P.O.V---------------

I haven't had any drinks, I'm not really in the mood to get drunk, I think Ashton's had a few. But Michael on the other hand, is drunk of his head.

He's dancing around with a drink in his hand.

I look away from him for a second and look back and he has his tongue down some random blondes throat. Fuck. I go up to him and try to stop him.

"Michael get the fuck off." I shout over the music. He ignores me and carries on, I see someone take a picture and sigh. He's fucked.

When we get back Alexis is sitting on the sofa crying, I give her a sympathetic look.

"Lexxxxxxx." Michael says, stumbling over to her. I pull him back.

"Go away Michael." She mumbles, her voice cracking. I whisper to Ash to take Michael to his bunk.

After they've left I sit next to Alexis, and put my arm around her.

"I'm so sorry babe." I say, stroking her hair.

"Why would he do that?" She mumbles, "After everything..." She adds, sobbing into my shoulder.

"I don't know babe... I don't know." I softly kiss the top of her head and she looks up at me. She smiled softly, but this time it was different, her face smiled but her eyes didn't.

She fell asleep in my arms that night.
