*Full disclaimer. I live on the outskirts of Milwaukee and sometimes visit and drive around. So I'm sorry if I make Milwaukee seem like it's the best city ever. I feel like anyone would do this if their city was on an artist's tour. So I'm sorry again! Don't kill me.*

Melanie's P.O.V. ~ Milwaukee

"Alright everyone, we've just crossed into Wisconsin, so we'll be arriving in Milwaukee in about an hour. We'll be staying at the Pfister hotel then after the concert tuesday, we're heading to Ohio." Paul informs us, well I'm peeking out of my bunk cause that's where I am at the moment. A girl's gotta have some 'me time.'
"Thanks Paul."
"I can't wait." Harry smiles and from where I am, it looks like he's ready to explode any second now.
"Yes love, we know." Louis says as he kisses Harry's temple.
"Yeah, you were over the moon when we chose Milwaukee as a place to stop." Niall adds.
"You're going to die when you see what I'm gonna wear tomorrow." I voice, still leaning out of my bunk with a little smirk playing on my lips.
"What are you going to wear?"
"You'll just have to wait and see."

I roll back into my bunk, picking up the book I was reading, which is Peak. I need to buy some more books while we're in Milwaukee. I make a mental note to myself in my head and so far it's really good. The description on the back, which is what made me buy it, is *When fourteen year old Peak Marcello's long lost father presents the opportunity for them to summit Everest together. Peak doesn't even consider saying no - even though he suspects there are a few strings attached. And if he makes it to the top before his birthday, he'll be the youngest person ever to stand above 19,000 feet. It's not a bad turn of events for a guy who's been stuck in New York City with only skyscrapers to (illegally) scale.
Here, in Peak's words, is the exhilarating, gut-wrenching story of what happened on that climb to the top of the world-a climb that changed everything. Welcome to Mount Everest.* The author is Roland Smith and just from the description, I know that this is going to be an amazing book.

"Whatcha reading?" Niall says in a soft voice while he rummages around in his voice and I can tell by his voice that he didn't want to scare me.
"Peak by Roland Smith." I reply, book marking my spot, setting it down next to me.
"How is it?"
"Well I've only just started but so far it's good."
"Do you have any other books to read?"
"No, I'm going to have to find a bookstore in the morning tomorrow."
"Did you want one of us to go with you?" he asks.
"You guys have to get to Miller Park for soundcheck, rehearse on the stage even though all of you are just going to do whatever and then Lou has to get you guys changed and looking good." I reply. "Thank you though for the offer thought. I'll probably drag Kelly, Molly and Becca with me."
"Anytime, princess."

Niall heads back to the lounge are of the bus so I slip out of my bed to follow behind. I lean back into my bunk to grab my book. Liam and Louis are sat on the couch playing FIFA, Harry's sitting next to them leaning against Louis. Niall is quietly strumming on his guitar so I decide to sit next to Niall, well more like lean against him. I then turn my back is resting against his arm and open my book to continue reading.

"Listen up, everyone. We're about to be getting to the Pfister hotel and there are three rooms. You guys can choose who you want to room with even though Harry and Louis will take one room, Niall and Liam will take another leaving Melanie alone." Paul says over a walkie talkie.
"Thanks Paul." I reply back with a small yawn.
"Are you going to explore Milwaukee tomorrow sweetie?" Liam asks in a groggy voice."
"Yup, gonna shop and look around."
"She's going to look for a book store to find more books to read." Niall explains further.
"That's correct."
"Bring a security guard with you baby girl, please."
"I will, don't worry.

Before we got to our hotel, we actually stopped at the stadium to leave the tour bus there and switch over to a large black car that can fit all of us. Soon we arrive at the hotel, the car coming to a stop in front of the hotel. All of us grab our bags that we packed with what we'll need for one night and file out of the car.
