I was brought back to the world from my soothing nap by the faint call of my name. As I opened my eyes Ashton's large hazel ones stared down at me. I giggled and pushed him away so I could sit up.
"We're at the stadium." He said quietly. The screams of fans could be heard from outside the bus.
I smiled and stood. Sleep quickly rushed out of me with adrenaline and excitement replacing it. "Let's go!" I exclaimed, pushing past the curtain.
Ashton giggled and followed.
The bus was empty. Everyone must've already gone inside. The bus shook as we ran through it.
Ashton pushed the door open. Sun light flooded into the bus and our eyes.
Hysterical screams erupted from a crowd of fans that were being held back by guards and heavy iron fences. "Are we allowed to see them?" I asked Ashton.
He shrugged, "Why not." As we approached the screams only got louder. I read a few of signs fans held towards us. One had 5sos encircled in a huge heart, another was specifically written to Ashton with the girl's twitter handle on the bottom.
"Sir, you can't come any closer." One of the security guards told Ashton.
Ashton huffed and I could tell he was about to protest but he then sighed and nodded. With a sad face he waved at the fans and made his hands into a heart. Many of the girls held up rock-n-roll signs or waved goodbye. I awkwardly smiled and followed Ashton walk away from the group.
"That sucked." He muttered while walking into the stadium. I nodded in agreement.
We were taken through a maze of halls by a man in all black. He lead us to a room with a set of long couches as well as tables and chairs. Everyone was in the room, either sitting or standing.
"Finally." Louis exhaled. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, he's so sassy.
"Hello I'm Jane." I woman introduced herself to Ashton and I when she entered the room. I smiled and shook her hand, though I had no idea who she was. I never got the chance to find out though. Before she could speak anymore I was pulled out of the room by Mckenzie.
"Hey!" I exclaimed. She laughed, "Harry told me to get out before Jane came." She explained.
"What?" I asked puzzled.
She shrugged, "I dunno, something about how she's the most boring lady in the world and that she just kinda babysits them and shit."
My eyebrows scrunched together. I was pretty sure that was not her job but didn't protest against it. "Where are we going then?" I asked.
She shrugged, "Let's just walk around until we find something."
I rolled my eyes, "That's a shit plan Mckenzie."
She laughed, "Thanks I'm glad to know I'm loved."
"Ew no one loves you." I teased. She punched my shoulder making me fall to the side of the hall.
"Watch out there!" Someone exclaimed behind us. The clatter of something falling had both of us turning.
A kid had stooped down to collect his fallen objects. When he stood he warmly smiled. I smiled back. He wore a black tank top that showed off his very muscular arms. He had spiked light brown hair and a few black hooped earrings.
"Hey, you don't have any passes?" He muttered in confusion.
I nodded, "We came with the boys, we're friends of Ashton."
The boy nodded, "Oh! Andy told me about you guys." I had no idea who Andy was but didn't question. "I'm Josh by the way, One Direction's drummer."
My smile grew wider, "It's so great to meet you!" I exclaimed. We would've shaken hands but his hands were full with two drum sticks, a water bottle, his phone, and a snapback hat. "Do you need any help carrying anything?"
Josh shook his head, "That's alright doll, but thank you." His eyes flicked up to a clock at the end of the hall. He swore quietly before excusing himself, "I have to go or else I'll be late for rehearsal, it was so nice meeting you ladies! See you after the show!" We waved as he rushed down the hall.
"He was hot." Mckenzie said matter-of-factly. I giggle and vigorously nodded.
We turned down a hall and somehow managed to find our way to everyone's dressing rooms. As we walked towards the rooms loud laughter could be heard from Louis' dressing room. Out of curiosity I peeked my head through the door.
Inside sat three girls on a couch. One looked to be only a year younger than me, she had long blonde hair and gorgeous makeup. The girl sitting next to her looked like she was a few years older than me with pastel purple hair and tanned skin. The last girl was mush older than the other two, maybe in her early thirties. Her hair was starch white, it had been thrown into a braided mess on the side of her head.
Before I could back away I was noticed by the youngest girl. "Hello!" She exclaimed while standing. I thought to run but it was too late. I opened the door fully and smiled, "I'm so sorry for-" I began but was cut off.
"Are you lost? Well you don't have passes so you're not fans." The girl muttered to herself.
The eldest cut in, "And they're not screaming like crazy." Everyone laughed including Mckenzie and I.
I decided to explain ourselves, "No we're not fans, actually we're touring with the boys. I'm friends with Ashton."
"Oh!" The youngest spoke again, "Well, I'm Lottie, Louis' sister." She then pointed to the girl with purple hair, "That's Gemma, or Gem, she's Harry's older sister." Gemma smiled and waved. Then Lottie pointed towards the eldest, "And lastly this is Louise, or Lou, she does the boys' hair and makeup!"
"Hey girls." Louise smiled.
"It's so great to meet you ladies!" Mckenzie exclaimed, "I'm Mckenzie and this is Alice."
Gemma stood up, "Mckenzie is such a pretty name." She complimented in a thick British accent. Mckenzie beamed.
"Would you girls like to hang out with us until the show?" Louise asked.
"We'd love that!" Mckenzie and I both exclaimed at once. We found a seat on the couch with the three girls.
"So how long have you known the boys?" Gem asked, creating conversation.
I laughed, "Actually not that long. Only a couple months."
Gem laughed, "And now you're going on tour with them! That's crazy."
I nodded, "It sure is. But the boys are literally the best. I'd probably trust them with my life."
"Aw that's sweet." Lottie cooed. "Are you dating one of them?"
I laughed loudly and shook my head, "No, Ashton's just my best friend."
"Hey!" Mckenzie exclaimed while slapping me. The three girls laughed.
I rolled my eyes, "Of course besides Kenz." I then bent closer to Lou, Gem, and Lottie, "I actually don't like her." I whispered loudly.
Mckenzie stuck her tongue out at me and we all laughed.
Lottie brought us all back to our current conversation, "Are you dating any of the boys Mckenzie?"
Kenz shook her head slightly, "Not exactly."
"That means there must be something!" Gem exclaimed. She jumped in her seat with excitement. I felt like I was at a slumber party when I was thirteen. It was great!
Mckenzie smiled and her cheeks went rosy. "Well, I do have the biggest crush on Luke and the other day we may have kissed a bit outside my hotel room."
Everyone squealed in excitement.
"Did it continue into the hotel room?" Lou asked with her eyebrows raised, a smug grin on her face.
Mckenzie's face went completely red, "No!" She exclaimed.
"But you wish it had." Gem laughed.
Mckenzie laughed, "Oh my god Gem!"
Everyone laughed too. Then a speaker had come on saying the show would start in half an hour. "Show time ladies!" Lou exclaimed and stood, "Let's go get our seats!"
