"It's show today! Wake up!" I heard someone shout.

"Really!?" I groaned, pulling a pillow over my face.

"IT'S SHOW DAY! IT'S SHOW DAY!" They all sang in unison.

"I get it!" I shouted. They did this every show day. Every. Single. One. Although I loved their energy, and how excited they always got about performing, I didn't love the fact they did this so early in the mornings. I was not a morning person.

"Guys, let her have a moment" I heard Liz say, making her way to the bathroom.

"She's been on tour with us for like two months now, she should know this!" Calum shouted.

"And yet I'm not" I mummbled.

"C'mon guys, lets leave her to it. Once you're ready though Riley, we ordered pancakes and bacon for you" Michael cooed.

I lifted the pillow from my face, peeking at them with one eye. "You did...?"

"Yes. It's in the middle room, you have to get up and get it" Luke sang.

"If I get up and there's no pancakes with bacon, you're all dead meat!" I shouted, pulling myself from the bed. They were lucky there was really pancakes and bacon after that wake up call.

"No! I wanna sit next Riley!" Michael whined as he stood outside the car.

"For the love of my own ears, would you please!" Luke shot at him.

"There's only two spots" Ashton whined.

We were heading to the venue the boys were playing at that night. I was sitting in the back of the black Suv, a single seat next to me as the other was pushed down to make room for some stage equipment. Ashton was about to take the seat next to me when Michael nearly busted all of our ear drums demanding he get the spot next to me.

"And I want it!" Michael growled. "Why do you wanna sit next to her anyways?!"

"He has to have a reason?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"You're my bestfriend. What's his?" He asked. Everyone was looking at Ashton now, even Calum. I began to get nervous as Calum shot him a look and nodded his head.

"Fine, you can have it" Ashton grumbled, climbing over to the front seat next to Luke and Liz.

"Thank you!" Michael hummed, plopping down next to me. The car was put into motion, as we headed down the busy streets of New York. In minutes we were already stuck in traffic, cars honking all around us.

I pulled out my phone, sending a text to Ashton. I heard his phone bing as he got it, reaching into his pocket to open it.

I'm sorry.

He turned around as I gave him an apologetic look.

It's okay. You can make it up to me later ;)

And how am I going to do that?

I have a few ideas... ;)

I giggled to myself as I put my phone away before one of the boys caught us. Just as I tucked my phone away Michael leaned over, pushing his own phone in my face.

"Look! This is our new promo picture for our next single!" He shouted excitedly.

"That looks so awesome!" I gasped, grabbing his phone from his hands.

"We worked on it for hours before we found a picture for it" Calum said from the front.

"What's the next single?" I asked.
