Ok, so I'm going to skip ahead a little because I kept getting stuck on the new couple thing. Hope you like it! (: Hopefully this chapter goes as planned. Well, you'll see. Take it away, Jamie.

James: Julia owns me…just kidding. She only owns the O/Cs…for now. *Winks*

Me: Thanks James. Now for the moment you've been waiting for! (: To the story!

Chapter 14:

-One Month Later-

-Kaitlin's P.O.V.

I finished pulling my hair into a messy bun. It was 4:30 AM and far too early to be on the move. With flip flops on my feet, and Pink capri sweatpants and a hoodie, I was ready to go. I was being picked up in a van that was going to take the boys and me to the airport. We were going to fly from LAX to JFK, where we would meet our tour bus. That's where the journey on the road would start.

For the past week, all I've done was packed. I kept feeling like I forgot something. Eventually, I put my mind at ease. I knew everything was ready to go.

As I sipped on my coffee, I began to think about what would happen on the tour. I knew that it would definitely be fun. Kendall, Logan, and Carlos had become like family. To my great happiness, James and I were still going strong and were still more in love than ever. The guys were huge, and I mean huge, pranksters. I knew that life on the road with them would be full of laughs. I had no idea what to expect. I knew that sharing a bus with them would be…eventful. I would be lucky to get in a few hours of sleep each night.

I heard the sound of a car horn. Hopping to my feet, I grabbed my suitcase, carry-on, purse, and guitar, and I was out the door. I stepped outside into the humid air. Kenny was driving the van. He popped the trunk open for me and I threw my guitar and suitcase inside. I slammed the trunk and pulled on the door handle on the back door.

A chorus of "Good morning!" came from within the car.

"Morning." I climbed into the back next to James and Carlos.

"Here's your ticket. When you go to check in your suitcase, they'll give you a boarding pass." Kenny handed me my ticket.

I stuck it inside of my passport which was in my purse.

"Are you excited?" James asked, taking my hand.

"Well…yeah. But, it's too early to be peppy about it," I replied.

"You can say that again, little sis," said Logan.

"Ok, I will. It's too early!" I repeated, smiling.

"Yep, my suspicions were correct. The earliness has gone to her head," James said.

I playfully swatted his arm. James put his arm around me. I leaned into his side.

"I love you," he whispered to me.

"I love you more," I whispered back.

Even though it was early, it was never too early to be with James and tell him that I loved him.

I inhaled deeply as I watched the signs on the highway fly by. Kenny pulled into long-term parking after finding that we were in Terminal 1.

We went inside the terminal after being shuttled back to the building. We checked in our stuff and were herded through security. We still had an hour before the flight. Once in our gate, I decided to check my email. As my computer was starting up, I glanced at the still dark runway. I can't believe this is actually happening, I thought, suddenly realizing that I was no longer going to be an average girl.

After replying to an email from my mom and dad, I put my laptop away and nestled into James's shoulder. He lightly traced circles on my palm. His nose skimmed across my jaw line. He was torturing me on purpose. He left a light kiss on my cheek. All I could do was hold onto my seat to restrain myself. James and I were both not big fans of public displays of affection. The urge to kiss him passionately went away after a few minutes.

I looked around to find Kendall on the phone, Carlos…God only knows what he was doing, and Logan talking to a girl. I shook my head and smiled. What. A. Flirt.

I focused on the news station that was on the television on the wall. A few minutes later, a flight attendant made an announcement that we were going to start boarding. She called business class up. Kenny, the guys, and I stood up and got into the short line. James was holding my guitar in his right hand and my hand in his left.

After the flight attendant tore the perforated line on my boarding pass, I waited for James. As he caught up to me, I took his hand again and walked through the tunnel which led to our jet. Stepping onto the plane, I quickly found my luxurious seat next to James and the window. I put my stuff in the overhead compartment. I sat back in my seat and waited for take-off.

Once we were in the air, I reclined and decided to sleep. As soon as I managed to drift off, James tapped me on the arm.

"Yeah?" I asked, slightly irritated.

"I miss having you close to me. I make a better pillow than these pillows ever will."

Sighing, I rested my head on James's chest. He wrapped his arms around me. He hummed softly to me. I recognized it as "Love Me Do" by the Beatles. The humming mixed with the steady beat of his heart made the perfect lullaby. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

James was shaking me gently.

"Hey, good morning, love. We've landed."

I rubbed my eyes and watched as the plane slowly taxied to a stop. I grabbed my stuff and stepped off of the plane.

We went to baggage claim, got our stuff, walked through customs really fast, and then filed outside to see a limo waiting for us. The limo took the six of us to the busses which were parked in the garage of the hotel we were staying at for the night. Our first performance was at Madison Square Garden tonight. I'd been rehearsing my set for a month now. It was of a bunch of originals.

The bus that the guys and I were sharing was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was really big. There was a living room, a full bathroom, bunks, a recording studio, and a kitchen.

"This is amazing!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah it is!" Kendall said, heading for the bunks. I chose a bunk directly across from Logan and right above James.

When we left the bus, we checked into our hotel. The guys met some fans outside of the hotel. After they finished signing some stuff, we piled into our bus.

There, I changed into a pair of jean shorts and a black shirt that was worn off-the-shoulders. I put on a black hair band and black Converse. We went to our sound check.

I felt slightly dizzy as I began rehearsing my set. I figured I was hungry. I grabbed a Power Bar, ate it quickly, and resumed my rehearsal. The guys came onto the stage and we practiced our duet of "Stuck". The dizzy feeling came back, worse than before.

"Kaitlin, are you alright?" Carlos asked. And that was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

End of chapter notes:

Another cliffhanger! I'm so mean. Well, what did you think? I thought the end was rather rushed…was it good? Bad? Amazing? Please review and let me know. (: Worked on this for four hours and this is what I came up with. Let me know if there are any mistakes. It's 3:00 AM where I'm vacationing and I do NOT feel like editing. Peace and love.
