"Leave me alone. I'm tired, hungover and I've still got a tour to pack for!" I scream at Lana who, as ever, is trying to get as much information out of me as possible. I swing round to look at her now which makes me feel slightly sick and my ponytail hits me in the face, "Which i have to go on with said person! I really don't have time to sit here to tell you exactly what fucking happened!" I hear the baby start to cry and i feel bad slightly. "Did you sleep with Harry though?" Lana asks me and i sigh pushing past her into the bathroom. I know she already knows the answer to that question but i play along with her anyway, "What does it fucking matter?!" I rummage through the drawers looking for my nail scissors.
"It fucking matters Paige because you don't love him and the only reason you would have done it is to prove Louis right so that you can make him jealous and angry." She crosses her arms across her chest angrily, "Which worked by the way. He left about an hour ago." I look up at her from the bathroom floor which is where I'm now looking for the scissors, "Eliza left late last night, they had an argument. Which you didn't hear cause you were..." Harry interrupts her entering the room mid yawn and just in his boxers, he kisses me softly on the head and i smile up at him then kiss him softly on the lips. Lana sighs heavily, "Busy." She finishes. Harry puts his arms around my shoulders casually, "We were in the middle of the two rooms and i can tell you right now that between their argument and you two... you know... i would take a million more newborns than have to go through that again!" I push my lips together so that i don't laugh and i look down to avoid looking at Harry as i know i will burst out laughing. "Um, ladies, as wonderful as this is I really need to shower." Harry breaks the awkwardness.
"Oh yeah sure," I say pushing Lana out of the bathroom and closing the door. Harry chuckles.
"You too love." He says smiling.
"Oh, of course. Sorry!" I say and open the door to let myself out too.
"So what you're just together?" Lana is on me again and i push past her again to get to my bedroom.
"Lana, please, just leave it." She's starting to really annoy me now and i pick up a pile of clean washing I had left out on the landing.
"No! I'm not letting you go down this route again P." I turn around quickly, hitting myself in the face with my ponytail once more.
"To be honest Lana - I don't know what it is. We had sex - yes, which you clearly already knew! We haven't really talked about the ins and outs of it right now. We are about to go on tour together which probably isn't the best time to start a relationship." Lana blinks at my sudden outburst, "So its the start of a relationship?" She asks.
"I don't know!" I shout, "It could be."
"What about Louis?"
"Eugh Lana! What about Louis? If you haven't noticed he is STILL with Eliza and not looking to end that situation any time soon. I can't wait around for him forever, I've just turned 33 for Christ sake!"
"But..."
"Lana please. Just stop! I really don't want to talk to you about this anymore especially when I haven't got a clue what is going on myself and in my own head. You've made it quite clear that you're team Louis." I sit down on the edge of my bed and even though I'm angry i can feel the tears starting to well up behind my eyes. "Paige..." Lana begins and i look up at her. The moment she sees my eyes welling up she nods her head and leaves me alone in my bedroom. I sigh and throw myself back on the bed. I try not to let my head get the better of me reminding me that I've fucked up again. I bring my hand up to cover my eyes and I groan. "Well that doesn't sound good..." i remove my hand and open one eye to see Harry stood in front of me in a towel, gees he looks so good. His butterfly tattoo is on full show just above his towel. "Earth to Paige? You okay love?" I realise my mouth is hanging open and i close it quickly. Pull yourself together Paige i tell myself and then sit up slowly.
"We need to talk." I say and Harry's face drops then he sighs.
"I know. It was a one night thing and you don't want to mess me around." He shrugs, "Then theres the tour where we are going to be together like 24 hours a day and also Louis will be there which will make it difficult..." H often does this, he rants and i suddenly am off the bed, standing on my tiptoes and kissing him. When we break apart his green eyes, although sparkling, are wide and shocked. "Yes H, all of those things except i think we should see where it goes." I'm shocked at what i am saying. Harry smiles, it touches his eyes and his dimple is out. I put my arms around him and look up into his eyes, "Looks like you're stuck with me for now."The bus already smells like boys and farts as i climb the steps after having an emotional goodbye with Lana. I've promised i will call her everyday and make sure that Niall is well looked after. I'm pretty sure she made Niall swear to the same things but to make sure I'm well looked after. Liam, Harry and Louis are already on the bus sat in the living room area and arguing over who gets which bed. "Well i assume that you and P will share a bed." Liam says to Harry and they all look up at me. Louis blue eyes are locked on me and i can feel myself go red slightly. Harry shrugs, "Up to you." I can feel Louis eyes burning into my soul.
"Maybe, we should be separate for now..." I say and Louis smirks slightly then runs his hands over his thighs pulling at his jeans. My eyes shift to H who looks confused, "You know H... keep everything a bit PG for now." I wink at him and he smirks. Louis moves his tongue over his teeth i get a pang of guilt. "Well in that case then i think its only fair that P gets to pick which bed she wants?" Liam says gentlemen like.
"Umm... that one?" I say pointing to the middle bed which looks semi comfortable and is next to a wardrobe. Liam raises his eyebrows and chuckles. "Sure." I frown, confused. Harry stands up and puts his arm around my shoulders i thought at first that he was smiling too but then I realise that his is more an annoyed face. "I chose this bed," he points to the one to the left of mine and i smile then he points to the bed on the right of mine, "That's Louis." He sighs.
"Oh." How do i do these things to myself?! "I will switch then..."
"Nah luv. It's fine." Louis says then lies on his bed and puts his headphones in. I catch Harry's eye and we both try really hard not to laugh. I put my suitcase in the gap above my bed and finally, Niall climbs onboard. "What did i miss?" Harry and i catch each other's eyes again and chuckle. Niall frowns and then looks from H to me to a grumpy Louis and then you see it all click in his little mind, "Well this is going to be interesting!" Niall takes the bed opposite Harry just as the bus begins to move. My heart beats fast both with excitement and anxiety at the upcoming tour."Ouch." I hit my head on the side of the bus as i turn in my sleep for the millionth time. It's not easy sleeping on this thing. So i sit up, slowly, so i don't hit my head again. "You okay P?" I look at the bed next to me to see harry sat up looking at me, he blinks in the lights coming from the road outside. "Yeah, sorry bub didn't mean to wake you. Just can't get comfy." I reply.
"It's not easy to get used to these again, especially if you haven't been on one for like 5 or more years." He chuckles, "Can i suggest something?"
"Sure!" I whisper back. I watch as he stands up, walks over to me and then climbs onto the bed.. he lays back and then opens his arms up for me. I look down at him and then snuggle in next to him, i put my head on his chest and hear the slow rhythm of his heart. "Is this better?" He asks into the top of my head. "Yeah," i say into his chest, "This is way better." I fall asleep almost instantly.
