The day had finally come. The generic last show of the tour. I admit, I will be happy to return home to my normal life, but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't miss the boys' daily antics.
The day started off as any other would, wake up, breakfast, small talk, get dressed for the day, more small talk, arguments, car rides, sound check, and more small talk. Currently, we were sitting in the dressing room. Hair dryers were blowing and conversation was flowing. An awkward poem verse, but it fits.
"Last show, goddamn. I feel like tour started yesterday," Luke said, sitting down next to me. I turned and propped my legs over his. "I know, we've been through and done so much." "It's unbelievable.
"Agreed." Calum chimed in from a chair in the far corner. I hadn't seen Ashton for a little while. Michael was getting his hair done by Lou, chatting casually with her. A sudden pain struck my right temple and my hand shot up to grab it.
"I have a headache, I'm gonna go walk around for a while," I called, walking out the door. A series of 'okays' followed behind me.
My mind raced for the city we were in today. Somewhere in Florida? Yes, we were in Orlando. It seemed as if my feet had a mind of their own, effortlessly carrying me around corners and through hallways, until I came to a long staircase going up. "May as well," I mumbled and starting to ascend them.
Once the stairs were cleared a heavy metal door now blocked my path up. I'm not just gonna go back down, think. If you were a key, where would you be? I reached up onto the small area of space above the door, sliding my hand along it. My fingers clasped around a small silver key. This should be it then. I shoved it into the lock and turned, a small clicking sound came and the door opened slightly.
To no shock, the door led to the roof. Sunlit hit my face, warming my skin. I shuffled my feet through the rocks and sat on the ledge, overlooking the city. The sun just slightly dipping down, the moon slowly approaching on the opposing side of the sky.
"We've really got to stop meeting like this," an Australian accent rang through my ears. Ashton approached and sat next to me, throwing his arm around my shoulder and pulling me to him.
"It's not my fault you acquired my habit!" I said sticking my tongue out at him.
"You're a dork, come here." He said pulling me into a quick kiss. We stayed silent for a few minutes, enjoying each other's company. "I'm really gonna miss this you know," he whispered. "Me too, what are we gonna do?" A single tear slid down my cheek.
"Hey, don't worry. We're gonna be okay. Distance won't be too hard on us."
"How do you know that?"
"Because it's you and I. Nothing can stop us."
I leaned my head against his chest, his arms wrapping around my torso. "You know, I've been meaning to ask you something," he trailed off.
"Shoot."
"Why do you like rooftops so much?" I wasn't entirely surprised, I would ask the same question.
"Well, I've always found comfort on rooftops, especially ones in big cities. There's no philosophy to it or anything, it's simple, all building have roofs, find one. They're just breathtaking, all the city lights at night, if gives me a sense of empowerment, that there is beauty in the world. They're just so infatuating." I finished my small monologue without even thinking, worlds flowing out of my mouth.
"That's beautiful, god I'm so in love with you." "And as much as I'd like to sit up here for hours, I've got drums to bang."
"Bang me like your drums."
