"They say you're hard to please, but I'll still give myself to you. Be my valentine."
Mirella thought he didn't mean that for real. She replied really unserious with "That sounded so cheesy, you should put that in a song. Fits the rest of your songs...
Realisation took its time to hit Mirella in the past few weeks. She was told by the boys via the group chat to pack her things since the tour was just about to start after the casting. She didn't see them ever since but I guess working on the songs and everything would probably happen during the tour. And not gonna lie, it kinda freaked her out thinking about making a big jump from doing nothing the entire day to being on stage the other. Her apartment was all over the place and her clothes were laying everywhere. Natalia was sat on the couch just looking at her friend walk back and forth like crazy whilst she was getting cozy on the couch with a bag of chips. "Do you think you'll be in one of those tour buses? If so you better bring bags because you always get sick.", Natalia said making her friend stop in her movement. "Well, thanks for reminding me!", she said sarcastically. "Yet just another thing to make me rethink all of this." "You'll be fine love.", Natalia tried to calm her friend and it seemed to work. "You know I'm gonna be alright.", she replied trying to convince herself.
Some time passed and Nat decided to help Mirella out. They packed everything possible from games to entertain herself to the funniest looking oversized shirts. The luggage was immensely overfilled so that both of them had to sit on them in order to zip them up. Standing there looking at the pile of bags and luggage they both treated themselves with a big plump on the sofa. They just sat there in silence and when even their breaths calmed down and their eyes closed Mirella's phone received a message.

Mirella took a deep breath and exhaled. She looked over to her friend and her eyes continued to wander around the room to her poster of Alex Turner. She just looked at it and after a long time there appeared to be a spark of hope in her.
"Nat wake the fuck up or I'm going to just leave without saying goodbye.", she said harshly to get her friend out of her nap. "It's not a goodbye dumbass, it's a 'I'll see you later'.", Nat corrected her. "So that's what you want to be wearing?", she added. "I think so, yea.", Mirella answered.

"Alright then, let's get your bags down to the hallway so they could pick it up easier. You better come back rich, get us out the ghetto.", Natalia said jokingly causing her friend to laugh too.
Later they managed to get everything down so Natalia left her friend sitting on her luggage in the sidewalk and walked off home. Mirella seemed to be a little too comfortable and with her sitting there, she dozed off in her arms, which were just trying to support her head. A black Van pulled up around the corner but she didn't even notice it because she found herself deep asleep on a pile of luggage.
Elijah POV I can't believe she's going on tour with us. I mean yeah it was planned and everything but now that we're picking her up to travel with us and be with us nearly 24/7 got me feeling a little fuzzy. Ryan and Rob were in the back being all excited about girl joining our group. They popped out the weirdest questions about her which made me rethink if they ever met a girl in their lives. Being with us on tour and then she would eventually meet Liv. The Van stopped and Josh slid the door open revealing a pile of bags and a sleeping girl. How can this girl always be asleep in the most random places? Rob was gently shaking her and then she woke up. Her eyes had so much power over me that even her looking at me with those crystal blue eyes crushes me. I hated the way I felt. I want to hate her and I don't want to see her in the way I am right now but I'm desperate. I felt weak for how much power she had over me but this was wrong. There's already someone else in my life. Especially Rob seemed to like her since he didn't stop talking about her after the casting. It ate me up from the inside like a parasite. Wanting to do and say so much to her but my hands and legs were tied up to not move closer to her but my soul still ran free.
"Ejo Elijah!", Rob said and walked up to him after they gathered around the van putting away all the bags together. "Did you manage to calm down the fight between you and Liv?", he added. From the corner of his eye, he felt Mirella's eyes widen but she lowered her head in a matter of a second. "She says I got no love, I fucking hate that bitch.", Elijah answered and kicked the nearest thing by him out of anger which was the guitar bag of Mirella. "You lost your mind?!", Josh walked up to after witnessing the whole scene. Mirella just stood there and looked at the bag but shortly after her soul started to boil.
Mirella POV
"You lost your mind?! Get the fuck off my shit before I kick you just as hard!", Mirella yelled which just left Elijah stand there in shook. All he did was take step back. Everyone got quiet und she just stood there in silence waiting for him to apologise but little did she know, he never planned on doing so.
After the incident everyone got into the car to drive to the the airport for their first tour stop, which was supposed to be in Paris. The car ride was long and sitting in front of Elijah was nerve racking. I felt like his eyes fixed on me and piercing trough the back of my head. It was annoying me so I turned my head to give him my death stare. He just looked at me confused but then started to laugh. "Is your face cramping or what's going on?", Elijah said smiling foolishly. "You should be glad I didn't kick you earlier stop motivating me to actually do it this time.", Mirella fired back. Elijah just brought his attention back to looking out of the window. "I feel sorry for your girlfriend.", she said hitting a very deep spot with that sentence. "Eyo, don't be so stupid you literally just got here and think you can say shit like this.", Elijah was clearly angry now. I wish that I could take it back. "I guess y'all are quit now on hitting on shit you shouldn't.", Ryan threw in before it went off too much. "Yeah, he's right.", Rob added but sneakily high fives Mirella sitting next to him. The rest of the drive went quite smoothly and soon after the little fight, they could spot the airport from the highway they were currently on.
Rob POV
After helping Mirella with the bags we were about to board our plane and were now sitting in the big hall. Everyone was having their headphones in so I took that chance to get some time with her alone. I liked her a lot. She had all sorts of games in her bags which I found very adorable. We started playing uno and it really got heated. Unfortunately her seat in the plane was next to Elijah, which I felt sorry for her.
"Hey I see you're going to be next to Elijah. If you want to we can switch and you can take my seat.", Rob offered. "I mean, if the stewardess are okay with it." "Sure Rob, thank you.", she gave him a forced smile which made her eyes smile too. Damn she won again. "Come on where did you put them?", I said looking her deep in her eyes. It seemed like her cheeks gained a little more color. "Put what? Why don't you wanna beat me?", she chuckled. "The cards, come on. You play how you want.", and with that she pulled a bunch of cards from under her thigh. The game ended and we both went back to entertain ourselves with our own music and she decided to read a book. 'Kim Jinyoung born 1982' was the books title and earlier she told me it was about feminism. A few times I looked up from my phone to check on what she was doing but her eyes were busy locking with every thing that made a noise which made her look crazy and stressed. "Ey, Mirella take a headphone of mine it's a sind a really like and would want to share with you." and with that she took the headphone and her eyes calmed down as she was looking at me. She had her hair slicked back into a nice bun and her hair was parted in the middle. Her hair being out of her face really made her eyes stand out even more which were breathtaking. She is so divine and I want her to be mine. Whilst I was looking at her I noticed Elijah glaring at me from over her shoulder. When our eyes met we kept the eye contact on for a little but then he looked in front of him. Oh no, I know that look. The she's my girl look. He can't be doing this when he got a girlfriend. Elijah is not as slick in hiding his feelings. Nah he's my friend and I'll help him with that because Liv is the worst girl ever and I think that Mirella and Elijah already like each other. It made me laugh a little how foolish the both of them behaved. "Mirella, I think imma keep my seat.", he said now facing her. "Why tho? Come on why don't you cover me? I feel like the moment I'll be alone with him he's going to beat me up.", she said concerned remembering what she said earlier in the van. "Well, Ryan still owes me some snacks which he bought a while ago in this shop right there." He said pointing at the little store at the corner. "And I know damn well Elijah doesn't have shit but your bag is full of stuff so that would be fair I believe. Elijah should get something too, right?", he added. "I think so, yea.", she answered not really content with the his idea.
Elijah POV
"Hey Elijah, you're going to be sitting next to your girl.", Josh said nudging his arm. I didn't react but put my focus back on the tiles in front of me. Is she my girl?
