            Being on the bus is such a hassle. I mean there is 5 boys and we eat like there is no tomorrow. Almost every stop we take we get food. I mean Niall stocks up knowing that he will be hungry at night. So he has a specific bag that is just for food. Louis only stocks up until the next stop. Same goes for me, Zayn, and Harry.

            On our next stop I end up being the last one in the bus. I got some drinks, some food, some candy, and a pack of cigarettes. I usually don’t smoke, but I have been under so much stress with the boys constantly acting out and me sneaking off I need something to keep me calm. I won’t bother asking Zayn for some of his weed. That man does not share well.

            Anyways I was last one on.

            “Hey mate what did you get?” Louis asked.

            “I got a couple bottles of water, a couple bags of crisps, and some candy.” I answered him.

            “Cool. I got the same except the candy. Trying to watch my figure.” He says

            “What figure? You weigh almost the same when you tried out for X-Factor 3 years ago. So what figure do you have?” I sassed at him.

            “FYI I have gained weight. I have been lifting quite a bit and eating healthier. So yes I do have a figure to watch!” Louis sassed back.

            The boy knows when and how to sass you back when you need it. He is the sassiest when you poke at his weight. He will set you straight with that and with his sexuality.

            Speaking of his sexuality or in general all of our sexualities, people think that we are all gay and are with each other. Which safe to say for me and the rest of the lads we are all straight, but when you mess with Louis he is not afraid to set you straight.

            “Niall, mate what did you get?” I questioned Niall.

            “I haven’t got anything since the last trip. So the same stuff even though our next stop I will probably get some things.” He answers me

            “Jesus you eat a lot!” I exclaim

            “Well I am still growing mate!” He exclaimed back.

            “I’m just saying you eat A LOT.” I say

            “Yeah well” He replies.

            We all settle down and start playing FIFA and eating our snacks. I feel my phone vibrate and see that Harry texted me.

            Dude what is up with you? You are jumping on everyone’s case. First Louis, then Niall, who’s next Zayn or me?

            I read over the text have I been doing that most recently. I know I always had to make sure they were okay but I never got on their case.

            I replied back.

            Nothing’s wrong, I just realized a lot of things with them and no you or Zayn are next. Sorry?

            My phone vibrates again, noticing that it’s Harry

            It’s cool just chill it a while don’t need some unnecessary drama. We are under enough stress already due to tour and everything else.

            Oh, so now someone decides to check on me. Took them long enough to do something. I don’t need to be checked up on constantly just a little bit.

            I shoot him a text back.

            Okay I will chill. Man I didn’t really mean it. I just like you guys been under a lot of stress. With the whole Danielle thing, then Leona, and now tour…I wish we had longer breaks at time. Ya know to just to chill and relax.

            I look over at him typing away at his phone. I see the rest of the boys not even paying attention to the little secret conversation that was going on between me and Harry.

            I feel my phone again.

            Yeah I know you don’t mean it and I know what you mean I wish the same. I miss being home and seeing my mom and Gemma. And I know you want to see your mom, Nicola, and Ruth also Brit. I understand that you are under more stress then the rest of us because of the recent events, but you gotta stick through it and remember if you need to talk to us just talk.

            I look at the text and think to myself. Should I really tell them about my other life? Nah, I can keep them in the dark longer. I will talk to them about anything else but that. I look at Harry’s text again and look at him I see that he’s looking me. His green eyes meeting my brown ones, I notice that curiosity is roaming within them.

            Yeah I’ll keep that in mind.

            That was all I replied back to him.

            I go back to watching Niall and Louis playing FIFA. Niall is in the lead of Louis and he’s not happy about it. I laugh a little at his childish way.

            “What are you laughing about Payne?” Louis snaps at me.

            “The fact that you are mad because Niall is beating you is what I am laughing at Tommo!” I reply back sharply.

            “Well do you want to go against him and see if you can beat him? I bet he plays this game when we go on breaks.” Louis exclaims at the top of his lungs.

            “Would you keep it down Zayn is sleeping. Let’s recall what happens when we wake him up.”  Harry says with a mouthful of crisps.

            “Yeah, be quiet remember last Deadly Day what Zayn did to Louis in his sleep?” I questioned.

            “Yeah well he started it by sleeping so damn much. I just was talking to Eleanor and we got into a huge fight and I was yelling. So his revenge was to dye my hair red.” Louis flashes back.

            “Hey it didn’t look so bad either. You looked really good. Maybe you should do that more often?” Harry pipes in before sipping on his water.

            “NO! Never ever ever again will I dye my hair red or any color for that fact. That was a one-time thing!” Louis argues.

            “Alright mate, now will you calm down or else I will die your hair pink!” I tell him.

            Louis gives me a death stare and then turns to Niall who oddly has been quiet this whole time.

            “Mate, are you alright?” Louis asks.

            “Yeah just waiting for you wankers to stop arguing so I can go back to kicking your ass in FIFA once again!” Niall replies proudly.

            “Oi! Let’s get this over with! But I want a rematch after the concert!” Louis inquires.

            “Deal!” Niall agrees.

            “Hey Paul how much longer do we have until we reach the hotel?” I yell up to the front

            “We should be there in an hour or so.” He shouts back

            Thank god I need to get off this bus! I need to get some air, I need to pee really bad, and I need a smoke.

            I end up playing against Niall in FIFA and end up losing. Harry gives it a shot to beat the Irishman and with no luck he ends up losing.
