Love Is Love No Matter the Conditions

I could feel someone trying to wake me up but I chose to ignore it and turn over, whoever it was chuckled and put a hand on my arm. I was lying on my side and I facing the seat of the sofa .

"Luc? Come on sweetheart, we've got to catch the train soon." I groaned a little and turned over to see Syn holding a cup of tea, dressed and ready to go. I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat up, looking down at myself, I was still in my clothes from last night and they were all crinkly. I leaned back on the sofa, brought my legs up on the seat and crossed them taking the cup Syn was holding out. He sat next to me and put an arm over my shoulder.

"Thank you, what's the time?"

"It's about half past six." I groaned a little and Syn put a hand on my knee,

"Come on lazy bum, you've got to get dressed." I glared at him quickly but set about drinking my tea and got dressed in the now dry black jeans and another v-neck shirt and I picked up my hoodie from the floor and zipped it up. I quickly brushed my teeth and my hair was a little scruffy but generally straight so I left it, I got rid of the panda eyes and put my normal make-up on. I went back and found a half dead Aaron, Ben and Connor waiting with Syn.

"Come on then, have you told the guys we're going." I asked pointing towards the four sleeping men in the bunks.

"Shit. No i'll do it now." He got up and walked over to Zack's bunk, ripped on the curtain and shouted,

"Yo! Vengeance!" Zack stirred a little and grunted back, "We're going, i'll phone you when we're on the train later." Zack grunted again in recognition and pulled the curtain back over his bunk. I looked at Syn with my mouth open slightly but I was grinning a little,

"What?" He said smiling and walked over so he was standing directly infront of trying to be all imtimidating but I kept my ground and looked up at him.

"That was mean" He looked down on me and smirked,

"Yeah, what you gonna do shorty?" The boys behind me all giggled a little because they knew I couldn't stand being called shorty. I stood there thinking for a while but then realised the lack of a small white dog that I had seen on the bus not two days before.

"Where's Pinkly?" He checked the clock and it must have been close to seven because his eyes widened and he said,

"Michelle came and got her the night of the Cardiff show before we went on stage. We really have to go now." I turned to the clock and it said 6:49am. We all jumped up and ran out of the bus and speed-walked to the train station. Aaron, Ben and Connor decided to race there while me and Syn held hands while walking quickly trying to keep up with them.

As we got to the train station our train was literally just about to leave but we got there just before the doors closed, we made our way to the seats, me, Syn and Connor sat on one side and Aaron and Ben sat on the other. I took Syn's arm and put it over my shoulder so I could cwtch into his side and put a arm on his thigh and put the other in my jacket pocket, he traced lines up my arm with the arm he had over my shoulder and held my hand with the other. I dozed for most of the journey half listening to their conversation about guitars, finally we arrived at Swansea and stood up to get off the train. He wrapped a arm around my waist to support me because I was still really sleepy and we got outside to see Aaron's older brother waiting in his car,

"Looking a little tired there Luc" He said smirking opening the car door for me,

"Shut up Adam." He laughed back and the guys piled into the car, Aaron in the front and the rest of us in the back except there was only three seats so I had to sit on Syn's lap, he happily wrapped his arms around me and I clung onto his arms because Adam was a crazy driver. I'm talking 70mph in a 30mph zone, going through red lights, the lot. Adam teased me a lot on the way home, mostly about being with Synyster, he was just jealous because Aaron told me he had a crush on me. I just ignored most of it except for giving him the occaisional middle finger to which the guys all sniggered at. We got to my house after one of the most terrifying journey's ever, he pulled up outside my house and pretty much ran outside his car to open the door for me and held out a hand to help me get out, smiling I took it and he pulled hard so I fell and he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me to him,

"Look, I saved you! Surely I get a reward for that." He was smirking as he said it and waited expectantly for me to do something,

"Yeah, a thank you." I smirked and pulled away and snaked my arm around Syn's waist as he was standing behind me and pulled him towards the gates of my house. My dog of course went nuts as I opened the massive wooden gates but upon seeing me she stopped and jumped up, I tickled her for a moment and then she realised Syn was getting closer and proceded to lose it again, my mum ran out to see why the dog was barking and ran and hugged me.

"N'aww Lucy I missed you!!" I laughed and hugged her back, I could feel her head move to look at Syn and whispered,

"Wow, he's good looking." I pulled away and gave her a properly confused look and we both ended up laughing. She broke away and stood next to me and said,

"So you survived after sitting on her then?" She said with a smile on her face and when I looked at Syn he too had a grin on his face,

"Yeah, she's not scary." I raised a eyebrow at both of them and they laughed. Aaron, Ben and Connor finally came in holding some bags and all ran and hugged my mum, they are some strange people. We all went inside and I instantly went to the kettle and sat on the worktop while it boiled and mum started talking to Syn,

"So, how did you meet my child? Did she stalk you?" I flicked her with a tea-towel in protest and Syn said,

"No actually, she seems the rather un-stalkerish type of fan" To which mum looked at me in disbelief, "I saw her outside the arena when our bus pulled up and Shadz got her and Aaron up on stage to play a song and we met backstage." He finished with a smile in my direction and I returned it while I made two cups of tea and four coffee's. My mum talked about her meeting various band members while Syn listened intently and I handed out the now filled mugs, when I picked up Syn's he came over and got it and kissed me on the cheek,

"Hey now, I don't want to see that in my kitchen!" Syn smirked and instead stood next to me and I poked my tounge out at my mum,

"By the way, Meg's in your room sleeping. She said she brought you a present or something." I gasped a little and said,

"I'll be back now!" I jumped off the counter and ran up the two flights of stairs in my house to my room, I enjoyed having an attic room but not the two flights of stairs. I crept up my stairs to see like mum said Megan sleeping on my bed with a rucksack next to it. My room is huge, the top half is painted white and the bottom half electic green, it's massive! I've got a single bed, sofa, wardrobe, table, chest of drawers, bookcase and a tv plus stand in there and there was still tons of room I smirked a little and crept across my room and leant next to her ear and yelled,

"Boo!" She didn't even flinch and just opened one eye and looked at me but when she realised it was me she jumped up and hugged me.

"Lucy!!" I smiled and hugged her back and broke away so I could look at her, her make-up was fine but the side she'd been sleeping on, her hair was all fluffy and spiky.
"You may want to sort that out before you go downstairs" I said pointing at her hair, she got off my bed and looked in the full length mirror by my wardrobe and her mouth rounded in a cute o-shape. I put my straightners on for her while she set her clothes straight, I filled her in about me and Syn while they heated up and when she was doing her hair I peeked in the rucksack and found the bag with something purple hanging out.

"You owe me twenty quid." I glanced up at her and took the purple lace bra and matching panties out and looked at them, yeah they'd be a good suprise for him. I grinned up at her and she smiled back. She finished quickly and ran downstairs no doubt looking for Syn and I smiled after her but began setting my bed straight. I hear the tell-tale squeal that she saw him and quickly finished making my bed before walking downstairs preparing to talk to my mum about leaving. I walked through the living room and found the boys watching tv and carried on through to the kitchen and found Megan hugging Syn, her arms wrapped tightly around him and he had his over her shoulders looking incredibly confused. It was getting really awkward so I coughed a little and she let go and said,

"As much as I love you if you hurt her i'll find and castrate you." She finished with an evil smile and skipped back to find Aaron, he looked slightly creeped out and scared so I went over and hugged him,

"So, how long are you guys here for?" I glanced up at Syn and he returned my worried look before saying,

"Only for another five days, then we head back to the US and tour for three weeks and then we finish tour." He hugged me tighter when he said it and mum understood straight away,

"Oh I see, aww hun i'm sorry." Just thinking about him leaving made me upset and she could see it in my eyes.

"I've spoken to managment and they said if she can Lucy can come with us. I really want her too and I know she feels the same." My mum looked back and forth us and put her hands up to her face.

"I know you want to but what about school?" I sighed and thought for a moment,

"I can ask Kate to record the lectures and send them to me." She sighed and replied,

"What are you going to tell them? They won't be happy if they find out you've gone on tour, which they probably will."

"I don't know." She looked at me and we just looked at eachothers eyes for a moment and said,

"Can I speak to your band manager please Syn?" He nodded and got out his phone and dialed Larry's number and handed her the phone. She answered the phone and told Larry who she was and went outside to speak to him, I jumped back up on the counter and Syn turned to face me, I opened my legs a little so he could stand in between them and hug me, I buried my face into his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his neck and he rubbed my back comfortingly as we waited for her. Any other time and the way we were hugging could have turned into more but this was sweet and I think we both just needed to feel each other because we knew that conversation was going to make a drastic change in our future together. After about ten minutes we heard her come back and Syn just turned round so he was still standing between my legs with one hand on my knee and my arms were still over his shoulders and she looked at us with a black face.

"I've spoken to Larry and yes you can go." I just smiled and could feel my eyes tearing up, Syn just kissed my hand and said,

"Thank you so much." She smiled at us and said,

"On the condidtion that you do some work every day, phone Kate now and organise how you're gonna get the recordings." I gently pushed Syn out of the way and jumped down and hugged mum and then went to find my phone upstairs. As I left the room I could hear mum and Syn talking and when I went into the living room the boys and Meg watched me come in looking and waiting for an answer.

"I'm gonna go with them" They all jumped up and were laughing and smiling and hugging me for about five minutes until I pushed them all away and walked upstairs. I got into my room and the clock said it was 11:30am and phoned Kate, when I started college she was the first person I met and we were in all of the same classes, one class was in another campus so we had to walk the half hour journey back and forth and we always walked together. She was great so I knew before I asked her she would do it. True enough I asked her but didn't say why I wasn't going to be in college for the forseeable next month
