[TOUR] On The Road

[trez matthew steele]

Brandon glanced over his shoulder as she hung back, led Zayne on and began distributing everything.

Sean coughed softly, running a hand over his face with a shaky breath. He relaxed a bit at her touch, didn't understand why she would stop for him if she didn't like him, didn't understand what he had even done. He wiped at his lips with a shaking hand, straightening up, and wrapped his arms around his stomach.

Trez shifted his weight as they came back, stretching his legs across the floor.

"Come on." She said, guiding him by his elbow back into the bus and to his bunk. She handed Trez his ice cream, then walked to the kitchen. "Fuck, Aubri. You're gonna wear a hole in the floor."

"No." She said, and Harper sighed, leading her back to her bunk. She messed around in the cabinets, almost wishing she were more of a cook and not a baker. She started a can of soup on the stove, then sat down on the floor against the cabinets, waiting for it to warm.

[trez matthew steele]

Trez watched her curiously as she led Sean to the bunk.

He curled up again in his bed, hugging himself tightly.

Trez took his ice cream with a thanks and licked it thoughtfully, watching the others before wandering to the kitchen and sliding down beside Harper in silence.

Harper glanced over at him, then continued to play with her fingers in her lap, chewing on her lip. It seemed like everything had changed since Nash died. Aubri had lost her mind, Sean wasn't himself, Trez was acting strange. Harper leaned her head against the cabinet, closing her eyes. She worked her jaw back and forth before she pulled herself up to stir the soup. She heard AJ giggle at something on the TV, and leaned up to search for a bowl. "Guess now we pray he doesn't kill himself with hot soup." She said, pouring it into the bowl.

[trez matthew steele]

Trez just watched her quietly. He smiled the faintest bit at her comment. "Who would have guessed he's a jailbird, hm?" Standing, careful of his ice cream, he kissed her softly. "Let's make tomorrow better... I don't like all these awkward problems we all have right now.." He stroked her cheek gently.

"He made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes." She said, meeting his kiss gently. "I think everyone just needs to go the hell to bed. It's obviously been a long week." She said, kissing him again before she carried Sean his soup. She handed the bowl to him with a spoon, then walked over to the couch, pulling her pillow under her head. She yawned, watching Aubri start pacing back and forth again. She groaned, pulling the pillow over her head.

[trez matthew steele]

"Yeah, everyone to bed," Trez drawled, smiling faintly. Xander was already trying to coax Aubri over to either him or Sean, who was eating his soup carefully.

Trez finished his cone, tugging on Harper's pillow as he passed. "Sure you don't wanna come sleep in bed?"

[harper reese lebeau]

"No." Aubri said, walking in the opposite direction. Harper scowled, grabbing her roughly by the wrist. She pulled her back to Xander's bunk, forcing her in.

"Lay the fuck down and go to bed." She told her, and Aubri scowled. Harper walked over to Trez's bunk, slipping out of her jeans before she climbed in. "I'm going to tie her to a chair." She mumbled, turning over to face the wall. She pulled the pillow close, yawning.

[trez matthew steele]

Trez sighed softly, shaking his head. He glanced at Zayne and AJ watching TV, then Sean as he finished his soup and curled up to sleep.

Xander hugged Aubri tightly so she wouldn't get up again, reaching to pull at the curtains.

Trez huffed. "Hopefully tomorrow's show will bring spirits up.." He insisted, stripping down to boxers and climbing in, wrapping an arm loosely around Harper.

[harper reese lebeau]

Harper pulled his arm tighter around her, playing with his fingers one at a time. She didn't feel quite so tired as she did aggravated. She didn't wanna be stuck on a bus with Sean until they got home. She sighed, closing her eyes before she shifted her weight, gently running her fingers over his hand. "Maybe.." She mumbled, slipping her other arm under her head, her fingers tangling in her hair.
