Just the Friend

-DYLANS POV-
(Outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/untitled_132/set?id=112186532 )
“My ass hurts.” I groan as we wait for our bags in baggage claim.
Well they were mostly my bags. Shut up I got a lot of shit.
We just sat on a plane for like 7 hours so I am sore.
“Awe should I kiss it better for you?” Michael teases as he puts his arm around my waist.
I was about to make a smart-ass come back but before I could, Ashton walks over and smacks Michael on the back of the head.
“Ouch. That was mean Ashton.” Michael pouts as I giggle.
“It’s okay Mikey, Ashton can be a bully can’t he?” I pretend to glare at Ashton and he rolls his eyes.
I push Michael’s arm off and run over to Ashton, hugging his waist.
“Haha! Dylan loves me most!” Ashton pokes his tongue out at Michael who pouts.
“Nope.” I trot over to Calum.
He hugs me and sticks out his tongue at the other two who had their mouths open.
“You guys are weird.” I giggle as I walk away from Calum and closer to the baggage claim.
When I finally get my 3 suitcases all in one spot, the boys each take one and start walking to the parking lot.
After putting my bags in the car, we all pile in. Laying my head on Aston’s lap and my feet in Luke’s, I put in my head phones and blast my music. It would be about an hour and a half drive from the airport to where they were staying so why not get some more sleep right?
Feeling Ashton playing with my hair and having Linkin Park travel through my ear drums makes me fall asleep instantly.

-ASHTON’S POV-
My fingers were weaving through her soft brown hair as I watch my Angel sleep.
“So, how is this going to work?” Michael asked, watching me.
“What do you mean?” I try to play the clueless act.
He shot me a ‘Really? You are trying that with me?’ look.
“I don’t know. I am hoping that everything will just go away.” I sigh and continue to play with Angel’s silky hair.
“Ash, feelings can’t just go away.” Calum, who was sitting in the front seat, says quietly.
“They will if I make them.” I snap.
“You never know, maybe she even loves you back.” Luke shrugs.
Taking a deep breath, I lean my head back and close my eyes to think about what would happen if I actually told her how I felt.
She would probably never want to talk to me again.
I can’t lose that and I can’t lose her. She means too much to me.
Her smile, her personality, her attitude, her sass, her ability to make anyone that is having a bad day be happy; just Dylan in general makes me grin like a Cheshire cat.
Guess I just won’t tell her.

-DYLANS POV-
“Dylan!” someone chuckles while poking my cheek.
“What?” I groan snuggling deeper into my pillow.
“You are going to have to get up. We are at the hotel.” I hear Ash say.
Oh right. Ashton is my pillow.
Groaning again, I sit up, popping my back and stretching in the process. I drag myself out of the car and plant my Converse-clad feet on the cement and gaze at the awaiting building in front of me. It was huge. Almost the whole front of the tall structure was made of clear glass and it was at least 30 stories high.
I was a little confused with the crowd of people waiting by the entrance. There were people with flashing cameras and a fair share of teenage girls.
“What is with the-?”
“Don’t ask.” Luke grumbles.
I had my back pack on while Michael and Ashton carried my bags and suitcases for me. I already told you that I have a lot of shit, okay?
Calum loops his arm through mine and tugs me forward with Ashton, Michael, and Luke following closely behind. We struggle to get though the raging crowd full of old dudes and young girls.
When we get to the clear doors, two tall buff men open them for us.
“Hey lads.” One of them speaks.
“You are really tall.” I say out loud. Have I ever told you I have word vomit? The giant muscular man towers over me like a tree and it is not helping that I am short to begin with.
“Hello. You must be Dylan. I am Paul.” The large dude chuckles. I grin and shake his hand.
It was as big as a baseball glove.
“You are like…..ginormous. Kinda like a tree.” I aimlessly blurt out.
“Dylan.” Ashton rubs his temples.
“What?” I ask. “It is just a fact.”
“Its fine. My wife says the same thing. You guys might want to head up stairs or there may be a riot. See you later Dylan.” He laughs.
“By Tree!” I giggle and saunter over to the elevator with the boys right behind.
As we step into the large elevator, Luke reaches his hand to push the floor button but I slap it away before he could touch it.
“Ouch! What was that for?” Luke pouts rubbing his hand.
“She likes to press the button.” Ashton chuckles from behind him. “I learned that the hard way.”
“What floor?” I ask ignoring Ashton’s comment.
“The top one.” Calum leans on the wall hanging onto the railing attached to it.
He doesn’t really like elevators even though he takes them many times a day every day.
Once we get to the top, the elevator dings and we all step out with my bags in hand.
“Our tour mates are at rehearsal but they should be back later so you can meet them then.” Ashton unlocks the door by swiping his card key and we all step inside.
This was not a hotel room, this was a penthouse.
The view was spectacular and I could see out into the city from the doorway.
The penthouse had a very modern look with white, black, and silver covering every inch not including the bar stools and sofa which was scarlet red leather. All of the floors were hard wood and there was a giant fluffy rug in the living area. The kitchen was off to my right and the sitting area was to my left while the bedrooms were straight ahead. From the door way I could see four other doors. Three of which were bedrooms and the other was a bathroom.
“Wow.” I breathe out completely amazed.
“I know right! Just wait until you see the bedroom you are staying in.” Ashton laughs and points to the third door on the ride side. Good thing I am close to the kitchen.
Dropping my bags where I was standing, I take off for the bedroom.
It was my favorite part of the tour.
It had a giant king sized bed and an in-suite bathroom so I don’t have to share with the messy dudes. The walls were a pearly color and on the biggest wall, windows took up every inch.
It was truly amazing.
I ran and plopped down on the fluffy duvet.
Holy sweet Jesus this is so fluffy.
I immediately wrapped myself in the comforter and got comfy with my head on the large pillow.
I could already feel my eyes drooping with sleepiness.
But just before I left the slumber take over my body, I heard the door creak and footsteps coming closer to the bed.
It was Ashton.
He set my bags by the closet and finished the journey that reached me.
Ashton untied my shoes for me and took them off.
I smiled sleepily and climbed under the covers once more.
“Goodnight Angel.” He whispers before walking out of the room and closing the door.
Finally I could let sleep take over me even though I just slept in the car and it was only 7 o’clock in the evening.
Whatever.
I could sleep the day away if I was allowed.
Ashton never lets me.
My thoughts were cut off my eyes shutting tight and locking. I knew I wasn’t going to wake up till the morning.

/////////////

I woke up to the sunlight hitting my face. It was probably about 7 in the morning.
Gross.
My stomach growled loudly.
Jumping out of bed, I changed into an oversized jumper and put on my thigh high socks. I left my hair curly and frizzy because I was too lazy to run a brush through it. After sealing the deal with a maroon colored beanie, I padded out of my bedroom and into the kitchen.

Opening the fridge, I realized I had found my new favorite part of this penthouse.
It was stocked with junk food.
I took out the milk and a bowl before searching through the cabinet. After finding the cereal, I poured myself some and grabbed a spoon.
I was just about to take a bite when I heard the television in the living area turn on.
Who knew the boys could be up this early?
I grabbed my bowl of cereal and headed into the lounge to find that it wasn’t one of the boys on the couch.
There were two strangers sitting on our couch.
Of course my first reaction was to scream…..loudly. Then to add on to that, I dropped my bowl of cereal on to the floor and it spilled everywhere with the glass shattering.
The two boys turned around and locked their eyes on me.
Suddenly Ashton, Michael, Calum, and Luke all come rushing in.
Ashton was wearing sweats with no shirt, Calum was in pajama pants and a plain worn t shirt, Michael was in power ranger pajamas and Luke was in his boxers and a t shirt.
My heros.
“What the fuck?” Ashton yells looking at the floor then at me.
“Why the fuck are there strangers in our hotel room?!”
“Oh hey guys! When did you get here?” Michael asked the strangers smiling sleepily and rubbing his eyes.
“You know them?” I’m suddenly confused.
“Dylan, this is Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan from One Direction. The band we are touring with. Louis and Niall, this is Dylan, my best friend.” Ashton puts his arm around me while Calum and Luke clean up the mess I made.
“Thanks a lot you ass holes. My cereal is ruined.” I pout and cross my arms.
I am childish…..so what?

-LOUIS POV-
Holy shit.
She is gorgeous.
