-Jake's P.O.V-
So, I just woke up and now I'm getting everything ready for the tour. I heard my mum downstairs and I quickly ran down to say goodbye to her before I left. I really didn't want to leave Sam behind, but her mum wanted her to stay here, so I can't change that.
"Hey mum," I said once I saw her making herself breakfast in the kitchen. "What's up?" I asked. She looked a little stressed out or something.
"One of my friends is in hospital. She tore a muscle in her back and she needs to stay there for about two weeks. Apparently it was really serious. Anyway, I'm not going to be able to take care of Sam properly. Hopefully she can stay at one of her friends' houses or something." She spilled. I tuned in mostly at the last bit. Of course I felt bad for her friend, but this could mean that Sammy can come with us on tour!
"What about if I take Sam on tour with us. I will take complete care of her and she can sleep in my bunk and I will sleep on the couch. I swear I will send her home if she feels uncomfortable or pressured!" I asked, hope rising in my voice. Mum seemed to think about it for a second.
"Well, only if you take complete care of my little girl and make sure she isn't being harassed by any of the guys. If she feels uncomfortable in any way, she is to be flown home straight away!" My mum said and I agreed, shaking my head violently. "Very well, I will go get her bags packed. Anyway, I suppose you have to leave in about an hour or so, but make sure she has everything she needs. How long is the tour?" She asked and I thought for a bit.
"A couple of months." I replied and mum nodded her head. Yes! She agreed!
-Sam's P.O.V-
When I woke up, mum was making a bit of noise in my room. I sat up sleepily and looked at what my mum was doing but she seemed to be rushing.
"Mum, what are you doing?" I asked. She turned her head slightly to look at me. Her body was still covering whatever she was doing, so it didn't really help me find out exactly what she was doing.
"Just trying to find something. You look tired. Go back to sleep honey." Mum replied and I couldn't complain about that. The virus I must have is really making me sleepy. Anyway, before I knew it, I was back asleep.
-Jake's P.O.V-
I had everything packed now, and I was just mucking around on my guitar when mum came back down the stairs, carrying a big bag of Sam's stuff assumable.
"Everything is here. You might need to carry her onto the bus. She is completely passed out!" Mum said, laughing slightly. I grinned in response. I heard a honk from outside and I looked out the small window in the front hallway and saw a big plain black bus. I stepped out the door slightly and waved to the guys, signalling that I was just grabbing my stuff. Andy came out to help me with it.
"Hey bro. Can you take all my stuff onto the bus? Sam can come with us!" I said and Andy smiled.
"Jake, you are so lucky that we have a spare bunk in our bus this year!" Andy replied smiling as he took Sam's and my stuff onto the bus in two trips. Luckily, he didn't have far to carry it.
Quick as I could, I rushed upstairs to go get Sam out of her bed. Pulling back her covers, I found she had leggings and a singlet on and that was good enough for me. I picked her up bridal style and carried her downstairs and through to the bus, trying not to bump her around much. Andy must have told the guys that she was coming, because as soon as I got onto the bus, everyone was looking my way and smiling, especially Caleb. Smiling, I put her down on the couch before getting some water out of the buses fridge.
"Has everyone chosen their bunks yet?" I asked and I got everyone shaking his head. "Well, who gets first pick?" I asked and lots of hands flew up.
"How about the two kids can pick first?" Andy suggested and everyone nodded. "Well, I guess that leaves our decision making time to happen later." He said, gesturing to the sleeping Sam on the couch.
All the guys walked into the back lounge area to play Xbox and Play Station 3 and anything else they could find entertaining. I looked back to where Sam was laying, just to make sure she was okay, and saw Caleb kneeling by the side of the couch, gently brushing her hair out of her face and kissing her cheek softly. I grinned. He was so nice to her.
