Chapter 9

Zayn's POV

"Alex, wake up." I called gently, nudging her shoulder a bit. It was quarter after 4 o'clock already. I had just woken up not even two minutes earlier. I would have overslept if the boys hadn't called me over and over again until I woke up, telling me they would be here any minute.

Alex moved a little bit, but she didn't wake up.

"Alex, c'mon love. We have to leave soon." I said a bit louder. She mumbled something that sounded like, "go away." I chuckled and nudged her softly. "Wakey wakey."

Alex's eyes fluttered open. A small smile formed on her lips when she saw me. "Good morning." she said, her voice still tired sounding.

"Good morning. How did ya sleep?"

She sat up and rubbed her eyes, yawning as she said, "good. What time is it?"

"Almost 20 after 4. We need to hurry up." I told her. Her eyes widened and jumped out of bed.

"Oh my god. I need to get ready!"

"Don't worry about it." I chuckled. "It's just going to be me and the boys on the bus, so you can wear your pajamas. And I intend on going back to bed as soon as we get going. So there's nothing we need to do except for grab our bags and go."

"Oh." she said, relaxing a little. "Alright. Then we should get going, I guess, huh?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "The boys are waiting outside." I grabbed her bag and the small bag of stuff clothes that the boys had brought me over the past couple of days. They packed the rest of my clothes for me already, so I didn't have to worry about it.

"I can take that." Alex said, nodding towards her bag that I was carrying. I smiled at her and shook my head. "I'm alright." I told her, opening the front door and heading outside.

She followed after me and I could hear her getting ready to protest, but then she saw the bus.

"Hey Alex." Niall yawned, climbing out of the bus. He grabbed her bag from me and handed took it on the bus.

"You ready?" I asked her. She nodded, smiling excitedly. I held my hand out for her to take and led her onto the bus.

"Alex!" the boys smiled. They were all sitting on the couch. Well, except for Harry who was laying on the floor, about to fall asleep and Niall who was putting Alex's stuff in the back by the bunks.

"Hi guys." she waved before yawning.

"Would you like to see where you'll be sleeping?" I asked her. She nodded, yawning once again. She followed me, still holding onto my hand, to the back of the bus. There were 7 beds, all hidden behind thick curtains that would block sunlight pretty well; three sets of bunks and one queen bunk in the very back. Harry had requested it, jokingly, in case of a potential hookup. Of course, he got taken seriously and so we got an extra bed. It was nice for when Louis and Liam's girlfriend came to visit though, I suppose.

"Here we are." I said, once we got to the back of the bus. "Would you like top or bottom? Or if you want, you could take the queen bunk."

"This is find. I want top." she said. "Unless.." she trailed off, nervously. I could tell she didn't know how to continue.

"Unless?"  

 "Never mind. This is perfectly fine." she told me, giving me a tired smile.

"Just tell me what you were going to say."
