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

I waved for her to follow us and she nodded. Danielle led the way through the halls and out the door that led us to the tour bus.
“Mommy where are we going?” The little girl started squirming in her moms arms. “These lovely ladies have a surprise for you.” I could tell the guys were already in the bus as we climbed the stairs. Zayn, Harry, and Liam were sitting on the couch while the other two were at the table. The little girl, Sarah, squealed when she saw them but instantly went into shy mode. Liam offered her some of his chips and finally got her to sit on his lap. It was so cute how they handled her and acted towards her. I would have never thought that they would be so good with kids. We found out that Harry was her favorite but she still loved all of them.
She moved from each of their laps as they signed her shirt. When they were leaving Harry gave her his bear that he had since he was little. She literally jumped on him and squeezed him. I swear he made her life. They even sign the bears shirt that it was wearing. After that she happily left hugging the bear to her chest. Her mom thanked us all before following Sarah off the bus. “That was the cutest thing ever.” I smiled and sat on the other side of the table. We talked for a few minutes before Paul came and told us we were leaving. “You guys have a week off. We're going to were your next concert is and get a hotel so you guys can do your laundry and shower.” Thank god!
The next place was only an hour away so none of us wanted to sleep until we got to hotel. I sat in the back room with Zayn, Harry, and Niall and played 4 player Mario kart on their Wii. Liam and Danille sat in the front doing a twit-cam while Louis played on his Nintendo. It was fun other than the fact that the guys are really competitive. Every time I was ahead of one of them they would gain up on me and I would end up in the back again. I knew they were just messing around but come on. Couldn't one person be on my side? I guess not seeing as Harry just pushed me off the road and into the mud. “Ugh! I give up.” I pushed off the couch where I was sitting between Harry and Niall. I throw the remote down and walked towards the door. “Don't be like that Moe.” The guys had decided to call me that instead of Adrian. It was what all my friends use to call me at school and also at work. I hated Adrian anyways so it didn't matter.
I ignored them and opened the door before slamming it shut. Louis jumped and hit his head on the roof. He was laying in the top cubicle playing on his Nintendo with his earphones in. “Sorry Lou.” I said when he looked at me. “It's cool. What's up?” He asked I climbed into the top cubicle across from him. “Their so competitive.” He laughed and agreed with me. I watched him play his game for awhile until we felt the bus slow to a stop. “Guys! We're here.” Paul yelled opening the door. I jumped down and ran to grab my purse. “In a hurry?” Paul asked as I shoved past him and out the door. “Yes I wanna shower. Now hurry up!” I grabbed my suitcase that was being pulled out of the side of the bus. Everyone else climbed out the bus a second later and grabbed their suitcases. We started towards the hotel all following Paul. He made us sit in the little waiting area while he payed for the rooms. Me, Danielle, and the guys get one suite while Paul and whoever else get the other one.
“Finally!” I yelled and plopped down on the couch. The suite was huge. There was 6 of the same sized rooms so everyone would have their own except Liam and Danielle are going to share. Each room had a bathroom plus another bathroom next to the living room. The kitchen was big and the fridge was already filled with food. I don't know who got the food but I could really care less. Everyone else crowded around in the living room taking up the rest of the space. Paul walked in the room making us all look over at him. “Me and the other guys have the suite across the hall. While were here if you guys want to go any where inform me first. Even you two.” He pointed at me and Danielle and we sigh before nodding. “Now you guys have a signing tomorrow so get some sleep.”
They guys told him ok and he left. We all said good night to each other and went into our rooms. My room was on the right side in the middle. Louis was on my right and Harry's was on my left. Zayn's was across from mine, with Niall on his right and Liam/Danielle's on his left. I plopped down on my bed to tired to move. I tried to get up and take a shower but I gave up and let sleep overcome me. I'll just take one tomorrow morning.

“Adrian... Adrian! Wake up!” Someone was shaking my shoulder slightly. I opened my eyes and saw Danielle standing next to my bed. “Huh?” I asked half asleep. “Get up. The guys will be gone for about 5 more hours. Were going shopping.” The word shopping made me wake up more. I always loved to go shopping but never had the money. As if on she knew what I was thinking, Danielle handed me money. I looked at her confused. “Zayn told me to give it to you.” She smiled and when I wouldn't take it she walked over to my purse and put it in my wallet. “He'll want you to use it. Now get ready.” She squealed and ran out of her room to get ready. So I'm guessing she loves shopping to. I laughed and shook my head at her.
I walked over to my suitcase and grabbed some clothes. I decided to wear a black ruffle tank with a light gray cardigan, shorts, and gray vans. I throw it on my bed and walked into the bathroom. Before getting undressed I turned on the water so it can heat up. I climbed in the shower and washed my hair and body. Then shaved and finally got out. I pulled on my bra and underwear and walked back into the bathroom. It was a good thing there was a blow dryer on the wall cause I didn't have one. After I finished blow drying my hair it was fully straight. I put on light eyeliner and mascara then finished getting dressed. Making sure I had my phone and purse I walked out of my room.
I assumed Danielle was still getting so I walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a apple and a water before sitting at the table. When I was finished with the apple and water Danielle came into the kitchen. “Ready?” She grabbed a bottle of water and nodded at me. I nodded and followed her out the door. When we got to the elevator I heard a door open and looked back down the hall. There was a big guy coming out of the room Paul's suite and I instantly knew he was a body guard. Great. We seriously don't need one. “I was told to come with you guys.” He said walking up to us. I sighed and let him into the elevator. “Who told you to?” Danielle pressed on. “Paul and the guys.” I did a dramatic sigh which cause Danielle to giggle.
The elevator doors opened and we walked out into the lobby. “Wait aren't the guys at the mall doing the signing?” I asked. “Yeah but it's a different mall. Were going to the smaller one which is just around the corner.” I nodded and followed them out the door. There was no paparazzi cause they probably saw the guys leave this morning. The body guard followed behind us much to my protest. We got to the mall not even 5 minutes later and it was almost empty. “We need to ditch him. We're not going to have any fun with him hovering over us.” Danielle's grin nodded as she agreed with me. This was going to be fun. I pulled her over to a bra and underwear store. I made sure it had two exits before turning back to the body guard.
He looked at the store and his eyes widened. Just what I wanted to see. “We're going in here. You can wait out here and when were done we will meet you back here.” He looked hesitant but Danielle assured him we'll be fine. He sigh and scratched the back of his head before agreeing. We walked in the store normally and acted interested as he watched us. He finally turned away from us and we ran to the other exit. We waited till he had his back towards us to run around the corner. Danielle grabbed my hand and pulled me to a store. We ran throw the store and grabbed as many things as we could before running to the dressing room. I modeled all my clothes for her and she helped me pick what I should get. She then modeled hers and I helped her pick which ones she should get.
In the end I got shorts, pants, a long sleeved shirt and another cardigan. She got pants, and 2 short sleeve shirts. We walked out the store and made sure we didn't see the body guard before continuing on our way. Next we decided to mess around and try on dresses. I only saw one dress that I liked so I tried it on. It didn't have long sleeves so I couldn't get it but I still wanted to try it on. Danielle only found one dress also but it was really pretty. They were similar with only a couple differences. Mine is black and purple. The actual dress being purple and the belt around my high waist being black. Her dress was red and the belt black but her's was actually sparkly.
“Come out.” I heard her stall open so I opened mine to. I smiled when I saw her. The dress looked absolutely amazing on her. “You look gorgeous.” She smiled and pulled me over to a mirror. “Twitter picture.” She pulled out her phone and snapped a picture. We both started doing weird poses and couldn't help but laugh. After awhile she decided on a pic and posted it on twitter. “You're getting that dress right?” She asked as we were changing back. “I can't.” I answered as we walked back out fully dressed. She looked at me confused and I pointed at my wrists. Her eyes widened and she quickly pulled out her phone. It was my turn to look at her confused but my face slowly fell when I figured it out.
Please don't tell me she posted it on twitter. She sighed in relief and showed me that she posted the one were I have my hands behind my back. Thank god. “Let's go get food.” We hung up the dresses and walked out the store. After walking around for a little bit we found the food court. We both decided to get Chinese food from Panda Express. I found us a table and we sat down and ate. “So what's going on with you and Zayn?” She asked after a few minutes.
