Standing Close To The Edge(Finished) by Danielle Palmer (the read aloud family txt) 📕

pulled over at a gas station and us girls changed into pajamas in the bathroom there while the guys changed on the bus. Me, Danielle, and Allie all got the bottom bunks while the guys fought over who got the other ones. I only saw that Liam got the one above me and Zayn got the one above Danielle so I was able to see him. I sat on my phone until I realized I was the only one who was awake so I turned it off and within seconds I was out.

The next day Paul woke everyone up at 10 so the guys could do sound check. It only took them an hour to get everything figured out. We decided to go and eat lunch before coming back and watching a movie. After the movie there was still a few hours till the concert. No one really wanted to do anything so we just hung out and talked. Most of the time was getting to know Alexis. We found out she had just graduated high school last month. She was gonna go to college but didn't have money for it. Her and Niall really seemed to like each others company and that had me thinking about her leaving. If she left would he be ok or would he be down all the time? I knew if for some reason I would have to leave I would be crushed and miss Zayn like crazy. I would hope he would miss me to. Alexis and Niall have only known each other for 24 hours and me and Zayn have only for 2 weeks. I guess love at sight really works cause we're already saying we love each other.
“Zayn, Adrian, Liam can I talk to you guys outside?” I looked over at Danielle suspiciously but shrugged and climbed off the bus. A second later Zayn jumped off and stood next to me. He grabbed my hand and smiled at me before turning back to Danielle. I blushed and looked at Danielle. “I think we should see if Alexis wants to finish the tour with us. That's if you guys don't care.” I smiled and instantly nodded my head. Great minds think alike. “I don't care. I don't think anyone else would either. Especially not Niall.” Liam said. “The only person we have to talk to is Paul.” Zayn added. I looked at Danielle and she nodded. I really liked this telepathy this going on between us.
“Me and Danielle will go talk to Paul.” Both Zayn and Liam nodded and headed back onto the bus. “Now to find Paul.” Danielle smiled and we linked arms before skipping off into the building. It only took us about 10 minutes to find him. He was on stage helping fix everything and making sure everything was right. “Paul can we talk to you for a second?” He motioned for us to give him a minute and went back to talk to someone. It only took him a second before he walked over to us. “Ok. So um... Danielle has something to ask you.” I said pushing Danielle in front of me. She gave me a quick glare before turning back to Paul with a smile on her face. “Do you think it might be ok if we maybe take Alexis with us on the rest of the tour?” We both pulled out the puppy eyes and the pouting bottom lip. Or course he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck like he always does.
“Ugh fine. You children will be the death of me.” Me and Danielle squealed and turned to run away. “On one condition.” Or course. It wouldn't be right if there wasn't one of those. We both turned slowly around to face him. “No more partner and crime action from you two for 2 weeks.” I sighed and looked at Danielle. Only one thing left to do. “How about you can keep your 20 dollars you owe and we make it 1 week?” Me and Danielle high-five before we turned back to Paul with our arms crossed. He looked hesitant at first but stuck his hand out. I quickly shook it and smiled at him. “Nice doing Business with you Paul.” We both giggled and ran back to the bus.
I beat Danielle and ran on the bus first out of breath. She climbed on not even a second later. “Why you guys in such a rush?” Harry said as we plopped down on the couch. I shrugged my shoulders and leaned back trying to catch my breath. Liam asked Danielle what Paul said and Danielle nodded in response. Liam pulled out his phone and texted Niall so he could ask her. The second Niall pulled out his phone he was all smiles. He looked at me and I nodded my head towards Alexis. “Allie would you liked you to finish the tour with us?” Her face light up and she looked at everyone else. We all nodded our heads so she turned back to Niall. “Do you want me to?” He grabbed her hand which made her instantly blush. “I would love it if you came.” She blushed even more and slowly nodded her head. “Okay.” Niall smiled and pulled her in for a hug.
“Aw!” I couldn't help it. I had to they were just so cute. Everyone looked at me and I put my hands up in surrender. “I just said what you guys were thinking.” That made them laugh and shake their heads at me. I rolled my eyes and leaned my head against Zayn. I felt him chuckle before his arm slipped around my waist and rested on my thigh of my sweat pants. “You look beautiful love.” He whispered into my ear as everyone went into their own conversations. I don't get how he thinks I'm beautiful when I'm wearing sweats an old long sleeved shirt with no makeup and my hair in a ponytail. “I don't see it but thank you.” He pulled me up to where he was looking into my eyes.
“Do I need to start singing? Because I will. 'You don't know-' ” I quickly covered his mouth with my hand. I looked over to see everyone staring at us. I smiled and uncovered his mouth only to have him start singing again. Quickly throwing my hand over his mouth again I said, “Okay. I get it.” He licked my hand making me move it away instantly. I wiped it on his shirt while smiling. “Say you're beautiful.” He said. I looked back at him confused. “What?” He started singing again and I almost didn't want to cover it but everyone was staring at us weirdly. “Fine. I'm beautiful.” I whispered. He smiled and kissed me. “Will you go on a date with me next week on our break from the tour?” I smiled and quickly nodded my head. “I would love to.” He pulled me in for a kiss again but this one I never wanted to end. It wouldn't have if someone didn't clear their throat. “Let's watch another movie.” I sighed and turned to the screen just as the movie started.

The rest of the day until the concert we were lazy. Me, Danielle, and Alexis didn't go all out on our outfits for the concert this time. We just wore simple outfits and simple makeup. The concert was the same. They were amazing on stage and of course funny when the twitter questions came on. The next couple of days were the same. We barley got to see the boys because they were either sleeping, rehearsing, or on stage at concerts. Of course we all understood that they had a career so Me, Danielle, and Alexis basically hung out together. We were able to sneak in a couple movies here and there with them but at least one of them would fall asleep. Niall and Alexis seemed to get closer over the days. We're all just waiting until he asks her out. Zayn made me keep my hand wrapped up until the bruise was fully gone. He was so sweet. Liam and Danielle were still doing perfectly fine. I come to the conclusion that they never fight.
Tonight they had their concert in San Diego which was cool. Now they had 3 days off in Las Vegas Nevada then there going to have a concert here and then on to the next city. Driving into the city at night time was gorgeous. I ended up taking a picture and posting it on twitter. A lot of people saw that we were now in Vegas and were freaking out. It was probably a good thing no one knew what hotel we were stay at. It didn't stop some fans from looking for us. When we pulled up at the hotel there was only a few people and the guys gladly signed stuff and took pictures. There was 6 beds so me and Zayn were going to share and Liam and Danielle were going to share. I didn't want Alexis having to share one with Niall if she was uncomfortable. After we got settled in I went straight to sleep.

It wasn't a nightmare that woke me up the next morning. It was the warm chest against my back and the arm around my waist. My face heated up instantly and I smiled. If I knew he would stop the nightmares I would sleep like this all the time. I slowly turned over while keeping his arm around my waist. Resting my head on his chest, I sighed and snuggled closer. His arm wrapped around me tighter and my smiled grew wider. “I could stay like this all day.” My eyes widened and I pulled away from him. “I thought you were sleeping.” He chuckled and pulled me back to him resting his chin on my head. “I was until I thought you were leaving me.” I guess he was right. I could stay like this all day. It felt good snuggling with him.
“Guys! Breakfast!” Louis and Harry were standing in the doorway, both still in there pajamas. “Ugh go away!” I groaned and hid my head in Zayn's chest. They came over and started shaking us. I swotted Harry's hand away making him chuckle. “I was afraid this was going to happen. You left us no choice. Niall! Liam!” I rolled my eyes at there attempt to scare us. How is Niall or Liam going to get us out of bed if Harry and Louis can't? There was footsteps running up the stairs and they stopped at our door. I didn't hear any talking so I knew they were either whispering or motioning with their hands. The next thing I know I was picked up and thrown over someone's shoulder. A scream escaped my mouth and my heart was pounding in my chest. I looked up at their hair and knew exactly who it was.
“Liam! Put me down!” I yelled while trying not to laugh. He just chuckled and continued down the stairs. I looked up and saw Louis, Harry, and Niall carrying Zayn downstairs also. Liam sat me down on a chair at the table and scooted my chair in. “Good morning!” Danielle and Alexis said at the same time. How can they be so cheerful this early. “It was good.” I said sending a fake smile to Liam which he gratefully returned. Louis, Harry, and Niall walked in and dropped Zayn on the chair next to. He glared at them while fixing his twisted shirt.
“Why did you guys have to wake us up?” Everyone was sitting around the table eating and goofing around while I sat here yawning. It felt like if I fell asleep right now I could sleep all day and all night. “We're are going sight seeing.” I
