Taking Care of Buisness

Ashton

Sneaking out of Lennon's room and back to mine was not fun. I was half dressed and only half awake trying to get back to my room without the floorboards giving me away. I didn't remember this hallway being so damn long, and I didn't remember this house being so fucking cold.

I made it back to my room safely, thank god, but I knew I wasn't in the clear yet. My mind was racing about Lennon and if we felt anything for one another or if we were both just bummed that our intended love stories were botched.

I laid back on my bed and sighed. These beds did not pass the fall test. I rolled over and looked at the practically ancient alarm clock. 5:45am. Gross. I tried to go back to sleep but it wasn't working.

After probably an hour I pulled up Twitter. I wasn't very active but I had a habit of creeping.

I cannot believe 5sos are touring in Australia and they didn't tell us. I'm so offended.

Welp secret was out now. If I didn't have all the time in the world right now I wouldn't have cared that much, but I wanted to find the leak.

After another hour of searching and scanning I found it. Someone had posted pictures of us performing at the show. It was impossible because no one is allowed a phone or camera inside Lennon's shows so I wasn't sure how. The account that posted it was a Lennon update account but it was quickly picked up by our fan's accounts.

I tried to look into who was running the account but they were always good at hiding their identities. I rolled my eyes and put my phone down. I didn't want to be talked to but I knew the concert was tonight and I had to talk to a couple hundred people, plus whoever was going to show up for this show.

I needed a cup of coffee and a long shower. I glanced at the obnoxious alarm clock. It was only 6:30 by that point and breakfast wasn't served until 7. I shook my head and went ahead to the shower before the rest of them woke up.

What kind of place were we even in that we all shared a bathroom and breakfast started after most people left for work? I made a mental note to talk to Helen later because what???

When I got to the bathroom I could hear the shower running. I raised my eyebrows and thought about who it could be. Lennon could still be awake, Sheldon was known to be up early too. Any one of the guys would still be asleep except Daniel- I didn't know his sleeping habits.

I had either dated, or already seen all of them naked except Daniel. I had made the calculations and I knew risk would be low- but boy was I bad at math.

"Goodmorning." I called into the bathroom as I stepped inside. I had put my toothbrush in my mouth by the time the person in the shower had responded.

"Goodmorning." It wasn't any female voice I knew right off the bat. She sounded worried and not sure about answering me.

"Good...morning?" I said again slower this time with my toothbrush hanging out of my mouth. It was dead quiet until she coughed.

"Can you leave please?" She asked. I didn't respond before rinsing out my mouth and running out of the room. I sat down next to the door to wait for the bathroom without thinking about the fact that I would have to face whoever it was that was in there.
