The British Are Coming (One Direction) -on hold

chapter 10

Hushed voices could be heard through my curtain, it was supposed to provide me with some privacy from the other girls while I slept, but I seemed to have my head stuck in the same thing all night, and that prevented me from sleeping.

I had been so caught up in the tour I forgot all about my birthday; I couldn't put it off for as long as I would like. I think the excitement of seeing my best friend and meeting most of my favorite performers had a large impact on that. I'm glad it did keep the thoughts of my birthday away because I know that I would be stressing out with everything, so in a way I'm happy.

I heard a loud giggle escape Eleanor's lips, living with her 18 years has helped me recognize it perfectly.

"Can a girl get some sleep?!" I asked out loud sitting up and pushing back the curtain only to have a cupcake right in front of my face.

"Happy birthday!" All the girls said before Jas pulled my hand and placed the cupcake into it. "Your favorite, cheesecake." I smiled before wiping a bit of the top off with my index finger, placing it in my mouth seconds later.

Cheesecake had been my favorite since I was 6, my mum and I went to a cake shop to try everything out for my grandfathers birthday. The many delicious flavors and scents had encased me, after twenty taste test I feel in love with the cheesecake, I somehow convinced my mum into buying one for my Grandpa's birthday and one spare just for the two of us.

"Thanks guys." I said wrapping my arms around their shoulders as I was still comfortable -and warm- in bed.

"No problem, oh, Cole came by an hour ago, he said when your finished getting ready to go to his bus. And wear a blindfold." Eleanor said after pinching a bit of my cupcake.

"Hurry up, because by the looks of things, he's getting impatient." Cher said, I shuffled down the bed and peaked around the wall that was placed to enclose my bunk. Through the window I could see Cole and Alex standing there having a thumb war.

"Very impatient..." I said, looking at the others, I quickly shrugged taking a large bite out of my cupcake. I jumped off the bed and zipped open my suitcase which was now placed on the ground because Jas decided to take one of the extra beds.

"Tell them half an hour." I ran into the small bathroom, I closed the lid of the toilet and placed my clean clothes on top and placed my towel on the hook and getting undressed.

Pushing my hair into a quick ponytail I jumped into the shower. I turned the nozzle, cold water spraying out and spraying my bare body.

"Cold!" I squealed jerking to the side so the water wouldn't touch me. I watched as the water started to have steam float off of it before stepping under the hot shower.

After a quick ten minute shower (I'm used to them being an hour long) I tugged on my clothes.

I stared at my outfit again. The jeans hugged my body well and the sweater suited it and didn't make me feel uncomfortable.

I walked out of the bathroom and dropped my towel on my bed taking out my hair, having it cascade down my shoulders.

Pulling on my shoes with the tune of raise your glass by P!nk stuck in my head, I tied the final loop on my Jeffrey Campbell lita boots. I picked myself up and ran out the door.

Five minutes late, lets pray they don't mind. My shoes clicked and clacked against the hard pavement as I walked towards their bus, I pulled out a sleeping mask and pulled it on my head, wearing it like a headband. I knocked on the door and pulled it down to cover my eyes.

"Who is it?" I heard Max grumble as footsteps padded around on the bus. "The tooth fairy, open up, it's freezing out here!" I said while rubbing my arms to keep them warm.
