More Than This : Chapter 21 : Road Trip

ARIANA'S POV

“Okay – is that all Ari?” Frankie asked, as we dropped the last two bags remaining to the bus.

“I think so” I replied after I finished counting all the bags.

“Okay then, let's get the guys – to the studio George!” Frankie said to our driver and the bus started to move.

 JUSTIN'S POV

“Justin, remember what your mother said” Kenny reminded me for the 3rd time.

“Got it” I said, sounding a little bit irritated and tired at the same time.

In a couple of minutes, our bus arrived. It was a really big one, much bigger than the buses that we use for the concert tours. Well, maybe it's because we were a lot, meaning we needed a ride where we would all fit in. There were ten of us, so the bus was perfect.

“Hey guys!” Ariana said smiling, once she got out of the bus.

“Ari!” the guys from One Direction said, rushed to her and hugged her tightly. She greeted everyone and told them to go inside the bus. Everyone was already inside, except for me because I was at the end of the line.

“Hey Justin!” she said as our hands shake.

“Hey” I said, smiling at her.

“So – shall we go now? We have to arrive at Vegas early.” she said.

“Sure” I said as I carried my bags to the bus with Ari.

ARIANA'S POV 

“It's getting dull in here” Harry said, laying down on the couch with Louis.

“Yeah, got that right” Josh said, as he was looking over his phone.

“How about we put up some tunes?” Avan suggested, looking at me.

“That would be nice” Liam said, “Do you have speakers in here Ari?” he asked, looking at me.

“Uh, yeah! It's – there” I said, pointing to the table where the snacks were.

Liam stood up from his seat and walked towards the table, untangling the wires of the speaker and taking it back with him on his seat.

“Okay now – who wants to plug-in their device?” Liam said, asking the other guys in the room.

“Me” Alex said, standing up from his seat. He walked towards Liam, and when he was half way to him, he threw his iPod to Liam's lap, which I found a little disrespectful and by looking at Liam, I think he exactly had the same reaction as mine.

“Umm okay” Liam said, as he plugged Alex's iPod, “Okay – there! Do I just play it or do you want to pick a song?” Liam asked Alex.

“Just go ahead and play the whole thing”  Alex said, as he texted to someone.

Liam didn't respond and played the songs from the iPod. Once the first song started, I almost jumped out off the couch. I was about to take a nap, but I guess I can't since the music Alex just played had my eardrums exploding. Alex's songs were the ones you would hear from night clubs, those that makes your heart pumping and your ears bleeding. Yeah, bleeding! It was so loud and annoying, I wanted it to stop, but it looks like Alex and Josh were enjoying it. So, I didn't know what would I do. It was 6:30 in the morning and all I wanted to hear is something to make me go to sleep because I woke up really early.

When I already couldn't handle it, Niall looked at me mouthing, 'Are you okay?'

I wanted to lie to him and tell him that I was okay, but I just couldn't stand it. So in in response, "No, I'm not. Once he saw, he stood up from his seat and walked towards the couch where I was seating. He asked for permission to sit, so I made space for him. I pat on the vacant space of the couch and he sat beside me.
