Something's Gotta Give

CHAPTER FIVE - ADELAIDE

𝔸𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕚𝕕𝕖

With our next stop being Phoenix, Arizona, we had a solid 11 hours on the bus until we were scheduled to stop again. With there not being a shower on board, all four of us, plus Lindsey, were all itching to get to the venue faster so that we could at least run some hot water over us and wash our hair. Mine had hairspray caked up in it from three days ago, and I'm pretty sure Bea still has a black strand of hair from when she accidentally got eyeliner in it.

"Beaaaaaa," I dragged the girl's name out, curled up in a ball under the covers in my bunk. "Beaaaa!"

"Yeah, Addie?" Bea popped her head in. "What's up?"

"Do you have painkillers? Advil, or something like that?" I asked her, my face scrunched up in pain.

"Uh," Bea disappeared for a second before coming back into my vision, throwing a pack of Advil into my bunk. "Here."

"Thank you so much, oh my god you are my LIFESAVER!" I exclaimed, extending my arms out to Bea, who hugged me as best as she could.

"No problem," Bea laughed, climbing up into my bunk before closing the curtain to block out the harsh yellow lights. "Girl stuff."

"Apparently so. My cycles are really irregular, so I can never predict them." I groaned, inviting Bea underneath the covers as I shot Bella a quick text, not having the effort to call out to her.

Adelaide: I fucking hate my uterus. Dumbass asshole throwing a fucking pity party

because I didn't give it a baby.

Bella: Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Adelaide: More like didn't sleep. At all. Again.

Bella: Ask Demi to buy you melatonin when we get to Arizona. Even I'm getting more sleep than you at this point which is saying something cause I've been up since 2.

Adelaide: I'll just buy it, if I ask Demi she'll only worry.

Bella: Maybe she should be worried. When's the last time you slept?

Adelaide: Uh. . . first show we performed? So like, three days ago?

Bella: Yeah, that's not a good thing, Ad.

Adelaide: But it isn't abnormal for me. I'm alright, just in paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Bella: You froze my phone you weirdo dumbass. But take like Tylenol and Benadryl together and then you won't be in pain and you might even fall asleep for a few hours.

Adelaide: Bea gave me some Advil, thank god.

Bella: There's Benadryl in my bunk in a bottle by Tako if you wanna make Bea go get it. Since I seem to be allergic to every single possible thing.

Adelaide: Hahahaha you weirdo, allergic to everything that breathes. But thanks. If I start raiding your stuff in the middle of the night, don't be alarmed. I'm just on an angry rampage to find the Benadryl, most likely.

Bella: I told you it was by Tako you idiot. And I'm not allergic to EVERYTHING that breathes. Just most things. Maybe I'm allergic to you. . . that would explain a lot. . .
