Ellie's pov
"Im sorry." He said again. I sighed. I didn't want him to keep apologising, for some reason I'd felt as if I was in the wrong, but I wasn't so sure why.

"No it's okay. It's my fault too. I reacted badly. Cane we forget about it?" I smiled, wanting to go back to hugging him for comfort, not needing comfort BECAUSE of him.

"Ellie I love you so much. I promise to try and be a better person. Yes, I'm a dick sometimes. But I'm improving it, you can help me." He moved closer towards me and put his hands on my hips causing my to become a little nervous.

"Love you more." I replied as he leaned in and I put my arm around his neck, and placed the other by his side.

The kiss was sweet. The strong smell of his cologne wafted through my nose as I took a step back and he pushed me onto the double bed.

Then it got more intimate and a little more rough. My heart began to beat faster and all I could hear was our lips parting every so often.

Then his lips travelled down my jaw and to my neck causing me to moan.

After a while we broke the kiss and he sat on the edge of the bed and I sat with my legs around him comfortably.

This time I really took in his facial features. His green eyes had a tint of yellow close to his pupils and a really small freckle had seemed to appear above his eyebrow.

I'd never really noticed this before. The edge of his lips were more turned down than up, but he wasn't frowning.

He smiled at me and then pulled me in close. I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face into his neck.

I could almost feel his smirk as his hands travelled down to my butt and I wasn't so sure how I felt at this point. It was a weird feeling, again, but I liked it.

Then the door opened and we both tilted are heads to see who it was, me scrambling away from him.

"It's only me!" Rye shouted, hands up in defence. I could hear Brooks sigh of relief and Re stared at me as I stood near the door to our room.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked, eyebrows furrowed. It was hard to read his facial expression, eyebrows raised and jaw dropped, hands on hips.

Then he pointed at my neck. "What?" I groaned, walking over to the mirror in our room and gasping.

Shit. I had a hickey.

"Um Brooklyn what do you have to say for yourself. Naughty boy." He shook his head, but almost smirked.

"Oooops." Brooklyn laughed, walking towards me and looking at it.

It wasn't too bad. Just really red.

"A lot of concealer will have to be put to use." I laughed slightly uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Brook laughed at my reaction and I quickly cleared it up before going into the boys room.

Rye led us in and we sat on the living room sofa. Rye in between us so it didn't look suspicious.

My neck had a faint orange patch on it from the concealer, but there was nothing I could do except use my hair to cover it.

For now it was alright.

"What's up roadies. Randy are going live in a bit but I'm telling you instead cuz their too lazy so. They hope to
See you there." I could hear jacks voice from the kitchen, probabaly recoding a video for snapchat or something.

Then he walked in and sat opposite us.

We played truth or dare for about 30 minutes and thankfully nothing bad was asked.

Then me and Brook went back to our room, Rye staring at a the whole time.

I wasn't even looking but I knew he was smirking.

Nothing was happening.

After we went back we went straight to bed and cuddled.

"Okay guys we gotta go to the venue and practice. Show starts at 7 I'm litro so under prepared what's wrong with me." Andy stressed, pacing up and down the hallway.

"Hey chill. It's gonna be fine." Rye places and arm on his shoulder and sent him a small smile.

Blair took us to the venue and the boys sang about 10 songs. Some of them multiple times until perfection.

"I think your ready. We don't have long know but just remember On that stage you could put all your energy into it. What you put out the roadies will give back they don't want you just standing there they want you jumping about the stage, dancing, being you and it's your responsibilities to hype them up so make sure you keep that in mind. They're counting on you for a good show so that's what your gonna give them." Blair told the boys.

The boys went on a break and I sat on my phone whilst they messed around, Jack chasing Mikey around the venue, and Rye trying to take pictures of Andy.

Brook was talking to Blair about the other tour dates and I was...well kinda bored, so I decided to explore, leaving through a door I hadn't noticed backstage.

It was a lil dark and the stairs were really steep. 

There wasn't really much down here, just a boring corridor.

Turning around to go back up I jumped out of my skin as a dark figure tapped my shoulder and yelled.

"OH MY GOD YOU SCARED ME!!" I punched Rye playfully as he laughed hysterically at my reaction.

Andy too was laughing. "Shut up." I replied, walking past them and up the stairs.

"Sorry that was kind of funny." Andy added.

"What are you doing when we're on stage? Are you gonna sit backstage or do you wannu go on the balcony with the camera crew." Andy asked me, waiting for my answer.

"Hm...I'll sit on the balcony. Wouldn't wannu miss the show." I told him.

The show was 3 hours long including the meet and greet.

A few people acctually revognsied me and asked for a photo which was pretty cool, but made me feel kinda nervous.

A lost of people didn't realise who I was thankfully, don't fancy creating myself a fanbase anytime soon.

The show was really good and I'm really proud of the boys. Brooklyn's vocals had improved so much.

As did Mikeys. I remember he wasn't so confident in his singing before, but he nailed it.

"Ellieeeeee the meets and greet is over and I'm jacketed." Brook yawned. I giggled at him.

"Well done by the way. You were really good." He thanked me and give me a quick hug, trying not to make it seem like anything weird.

Just a friendly hug. "I need to go to the toilet." I told him, letting go of his hand as the others strolled in back stage.

"Me too acctually."
Then Rye texted me.

Rye: where you two off?
Ellie: Need to pee that's all
Rye: you sure?
Ellie: Yes! Nothing more

I could see Brooklyn looking at my phone and he began to laugh, taking my hand in his again.

He looked at me softly before placing his hands on my face and connecting his lips with mine.

"I TOLD YOU!!" Rye pointed at us, causing me to go slightly red. Fuck.

Then I pulled away from him and went to per, As did he.

the three Of us walked back to backstage and then went home to bed. The boys were really tired and fell asleep straight away.

As for me.....sleep was the least of my worries.
