After buying me some new clothes and an iphone we arrived back at Danny and Ben's apartment.

Danny was about to start talking to me when his phone rang.
His face lit up

"It's Sumerian!" He exclaimed to ben
Ben almost screamed like a school girl

"Hello?
Yeah
Are you serious?!
Yes we can do that right away.
Oh tomorrow?
Of course!
Five am?
That's fine with me!
Yeah I'll tell the boys!
Thankyou John
Alright bye"

Danny nearly burst with excitement
"What's going on dude? Why are you freaking out?" Ben chuckled
"FUCKING SUMERIAN! WE GOT SIGNED!!" Danny screamed
"Are you fucking serious?!??!" Ben exclaimed
"YES! YES IM FUCKING SERIOUS" Danny beamed
Once he finally calmed down he rang the rest of the band and they quickly showed up.
He introduced me and told everyone to sit down.

"Guys we got fucking signed!" He grinned
A round of happy words were heard from everyone
"Guys. Uh well, how should I put this?
Sumerian said we have to go to America" Danny sighed
Everyone seemed pretty pleased
"When do we go and when do we come back?" James asked
"Well john, our manager booked us a flight for tomorrow at five am. And we don't come back. It's a permanent thing" Danny explained
"Wait what about Bailey? Did you mention you've got a kid?" Cameron asked
"Oh fuck!" Danny exclaimed before abruptly leaving the room

He returned shorty with a smile
"Aaaaand she's now got a ticket booked too" Danny smiled
"Uh mate she needs a passport" Sam mentioned
"Fuck, being a parent is hard" Danny whined
"Danny she's smoking" cam laughed
I awkwardly looked down
The guys aren't really making me feel welcome
"Uh I know? I let her smoke. We were all smoking at her age. Don't be boring" Danny chuckled

I smiled awkwardly
"Uh I'm gonna go and re pack my stuff"I mumbled before leaving to my room.

I stuck in my headphones and sat on my bed. I'm pretty sure the guys don't want me around.

About twenty minutes later someone tapped me on the shoulder
I'm pretty sure my soul jumped out of my body

It was just ben.
"Hey you okay?" He asked after I took out my headphones
"Uh yeah I guess" I mumbled
"Bailey I've known you for like six hours, and I can already tell you're a terrible liar." He chuckled
That caused me to let a small smile creep through
"See now you're smiling!" Ben grinned
"So what's wrong?" He asked
"Do I have to tell you?" I pouted
"Yup you do" ben smirked
"Ugh fine.. You and Danny made me feel so welcome, but the other guys just make me feel like a problem" I sighed
"Oh Honey, it's not like that. They're actually helping Danny. He needs to remember these things, otherwise you'd be stuck here and wouldn't be going with us" ben smiled sweetly
"Are you sure I'm not a burden?" I asked
"I mean Danny could have gotten someone better. I'm just really shitty and boring" I sighed
"Hey mate, you're not shitty and you're not boring. You're really cool. You like our music, you're not an insane fangirl and you're really sweet. Plus I'm pretty sure Danny picked the prettiest girl there on purpose" ben smiled
I blushed and covered my face.
Ben grasped my chin gently and lifted my head up
"Chin up buttercup!" Ben smiled again before leaving

Ben is actually so sweet. I've never been treated so nicely before.
Plus his face

No Bailey. Don't be weird. He's the same age as you're adopted dad. Doesn't matter that you're a fan girl. Stop being weird and fantasising about his face.
