The concert was yesterday and we are now heading to Lincoln, Nebraska. Emma is excited because for the rest of the North American leg we're riding the tour bus. We won't be flying unless something comes up and we go home.

"Em, ready sweetheart?" I asked as she looked at me and nodded.

The drive to Lincoln is 7 hours. The lads and I have decided that we would rest and when we arrived at the venue we would go out and grab food before we checked into the hotel.

Emma and I got onto the bus after I loaded our stuff in and she sat on the floor as I sat on the couch.

"You can sit in my lap," I told her as she looked up at me.

She looked sleep deprived, bless her. The nightmares are slowly going away. I guess it was just when something tragic had happened they were bad.

"Hey," i cooed as her bottom lip trembled.

I picked her up and she laid in my lap.

"I'm tired," she whined.

"Let's get you to sleep before your uncles come," I spoke as I carried her to my bunk.

The guys went and got snacks and should be back any minute. They were just going down the road.

I lay Emma down and cover her up, turning my phone on to turn on some rain sounds.

"Don't go," I heard her whisper.

"I'll be back baby," I whispered kissing her cheek before I left.

I shut the curtain and I go back to the front of the bus.

I walk off, searching for the boys.

"Luke!" I heard someone call.

I turn, seeing Harry and Niall.

"Where's everyone else?" Niall asked.

"I don't know. Can you sit with Em? I'll be back," I spoke.

"Yeah, of course. Good luck," Harry spoke as I nodded and left.

I walked around the hotel, since we were parked in the back, and went back inside. The paparazzi and fans left twenty minutes ago, thinking we had left.

I go inside and go back to our floor.

There I see them standing.

"Guys, what's taking you so long?" I asked as they looked back at me.

"We still have ten minutes. We're trying to get into the room, I left my phone," Ashton spoke.

I roll my eyes, "Here." I then get the room key from my back pocket and unlock the door.

"You know they said we could keep these just incase, right?" I spoke.

"Shut up," Ashton murmured.

I laugh as he comes back out with his phone.

"Are we ready? The others are ready to leave," I spoke.

They nodded and we got back to the tour busses, where Harry and Niall left and went back to their bus so we could leave.

"Guys."

"Guys, get up. We've got to go."

"Seriously, please get up."

"Don't freak Paul. Liam, you get Emma. Louis, wake up Ashton. Zayn, you get Michael. Niall, you get Luke and I'll get Cal."

What the hell is going on?
