Disconnected

Part 2

Ashton-
These girls are really cute and giggly, but the one with the red hair, the green eyes, and the smile that can light up this world, caught my eye. I know they're twins. There's just something different about Kylie.

"So... you're a drummer?" Kylie stops to let Nikki pass. She waits on me to catch up to her.
"Yeah, I am," I smile. "Impressed?" I smirk. She laughs. Her laugh is beautiful. It's like the best sound I've heard in awhile.

"Hmm... Well, I don't know. I haven't really put much thought into it. I just saw you, and just your looks impressed me. So, yeah. I guess you did impress me... In your own way." She rambles. She's cute when she rambles. Her lips move so swiftly and she moves her hands a lot. And it's like she forgets that anyone is there watching her, an she's just in her own little world.

"I'm hoping that's a good thing?" I look over at her and slightly smile as we arrive at the bus.

"Yeah. It's good." She replies as we stop outside the bus with everyone else.

"Feast your eyes ladies on the most horrific sight you have ever seen!" Luke shouts with his arms extended to the sides.

"Yeah, he did warn you. It's not exactly clean in there." Calum explains.

"Yup. And it's only messy because we don't clean. We're punk rock! We don't do chores." Michael cheers.

Kylie and Nikki both bust out into laughter. They look at each other and laugh harder. I watch Kylie as she laughs. She has a slight smile on her parted lips. The corners of her eyes are crinkled up and she looks beautiful.

"You guys," Nikki's breathing is shaky due to the laughing. "Punk... Punk rock? I can't believe it!"

"But, it's true!' Michael cries. He throws his hands up in the air and flips then both off. I can't help but to chuckle at how ridiculous we really are.

"Whatever you say." Kylie laughs and rolls her eyes. She stops her eyes on me. I smile at her. She bites her lip and looks away from me. Do I... Do I make her nervous?

"Whatever, man. Let's just go see the bus?" Luke half asks.

"Yeah. I kinda want to see how amazing Gus bus is." Nikki moves close to Luke. Does she really like his dumb ass? Like, seriously, he's the stupidest person I know.

"Alright, well, we're gonna go on our bus now. It was nice meeting you two. The tour starts in twi days, so tomorrow we'll just be hanging out and getting to know each other. Anyway, goodnight." Harry pipes up. All of them have been silent since we got out here. It's about time someone of their group spoke up.

"Okay," I mumble. "Night guys."

"Hugs?" Liam asks.

"Ooh, hugs!" Nikki smiles and opens her arms wide. Liam steps forward and hugs her, then Zayn does, then Louis, then Niall, then Harry. They all kiss her on the cheek and turn around. Kylie sighs and frowns.

She must not get as much attention as Nikki does. I feel bad for her and I really want to just cradle her in my arms and tell her how beautiful she is. But, we just met... I don't think it would be okay for me to do that. So...

"Hey," I snap. "What about Kylie?!"

"Oh, I don't think they care, Ashton." Nikki says in a perky voice. Then she giggles to herself. I look over at Kylie. Her face falls and she looks close to tears. Really close. My chest aches and I look away from her.

"Shut up! Just shut the fuck up! Kylie is just as important as you are! You... You attention whore!" I surprise myself and everyone else standing there with my words. They all stare at me and Nikki turns pale.
